18 in Orlando, will mark Woods’ return to tournament play after sustaining traumatic leg injuries in a single-car accident outside Los Angeles last February. “I think something that is realistic is playing the tour one day—never full time, ever again—but pick and choose, just like Mr. Hogan did. “I’ll put it to you this way,” […]
Entering the Open off back-to-back major runner-ups and with a claret jug already to his name, it is a performance that ostensibly makes the South African the runaway favorite. Oosthuizen has six career second-place major finishes, one at each. He’s maddingly consistent in scoring across all four rounds—Friday is the low at a 69 scoring […]
And there they both were at Detroit Golf Club on Monday, the very symbols of why the John Shippen National Invitational was molded into reality this year.

Amateur champion reached 19 under par for the week and held off all-comers by at least two shots to claim the BMW International Open title.

Open everything seems easier,” Watson said, asking why he plays so well at this event. There was a blooper—or highlight, depending on your perspective—at the par-4 second when Watson broke his driver mid-swing, the head flying off at contact. “It’s one of the things where the driver is travel, heat, cold, whatever it is, over […]
The course plays host to the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship this week, part of a broader movement to bring the women’s game to traditional championship courses, and while some of the elements remain the same from previous men’s majors, a 2016 redesign by Rees Jones and a few alterations since mean it won’t be quite […]
The PGA of America has permitted their use at their competitive events in 2021, and the move has sparked an debate about whether it benefits the game and whether it will even achieve its intended purpose of speeding up the pace. “Being honest, there’s a lot of things that I don’t agree with that the […]
CROMWELL, Conn. “It’s not that hard.” He didn’t call out DeChambeau by name, but it was widely seen as a reference to a European Tour video that showed DeChambeau taking an exorbitant amount of time to play a wedge shot. The following week, at the Memorial Tournament, fans repeatedly referred to Bryson as “Brooksy,” and […]
It’s another can’t-miss affair on the PGA Tour, a tournament that continues to boast a strong field year after year, even in its unfortunate spot on the schedule.

But don’t tell that to officials with the Travelers Championship, who embrace their spot on the tour calender and have a strong field set for this week at TPC River Highlands.

You know Rahm for his elite off-the-tee game ; representing Europe at the 2018 Ryder Cup, where he defeated his idol, Tiger Woods, in Sunday singles; and maybe his on-course temper. Rahm’s father, Edorta, had never played golf or seen it in person until the Ryder Cup came to Valderrama in 1997. Rahm says he […]
1 in the process … at the same spot he proposed to his wife … on his first Father’s Day as a dad … two weeks after he made national news for a brutally timed positive COVID test. Rahm emerged the last man standing from a punch-drunk final day in San Diego, his final-round 67 […]
Torrey Pines and the game’s biggest superstar delivered one of the greatest shows in the history of all majors, and the folks who hosted the party already had the next invitations engraved. The people from Far Hills, N.J., in the blue coats politely nodded and smiled—and then very much went silent for a couple of […]
Nobody used the word “fluke” to describe Phil Mickelson’s PGA Championship victory last month, and the reason for that is because Mickelson is one of the greats of the sport, a first-class winner, and a guy who came into Kiawah having won five major titles in his career. But—you knew the but was coming—Mickelson’s legendary […]
Richard Bland—the 48-year-old Englishman who’s just making his fourth-ever major start—is the storyline of the week thus far, and he’s joined in the final pairing with Russell Henley, who is also in rarified air, without a top 10 in his major career. There are stars in the game waiting to do it: Louis Oosthuizen and […]
It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly two months since rumors of a rift between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers surfaced, and we’re no closer to knowing where—or if—he’ll be playing football next season. According to The Big Lead, this week Rodgers extended his membership at the Green Bay Country Club until the […]
The final twosome of Richard Bland and Russell Henley won’t hit their opening shots on the first hole until 4:35 p.m. and if you’re tuning in early, there are plenty of cool storylines to follow among those who made the cut. In the gloaming on Friday evening, in the second-to-last threesome to play the 18th […]
Through two rounds at Torrey Pines, that mystery has been solved, and what it spells could be the special something that has been just out of the Spaniard’s grasp. A generational bomber , Rahm was so lost off the tee he would have been better served exchanging his yardage book and caddie for a compass […]
He’d gone out early in the chill and dampness on the Torrey Pines South Course and pushed himself to the top of the leader board by getting to five under heading into the weekend at the U.S. But this is one of the four majors, where the leader faces a few dozen reporters and a […]
