After we finally got a top-of-the-odds board winner at the Mexico Open, it was longshot SZN once more at the Cognizant Classic, where Austin Eckroat picked up his first PGA Tour victory at 100-1. PGA Tour events in 2024 remain fully up for grabs. That said, we’re back on the signature event grind with the Read more…

Thanks to a remarkable eight-under 63 on Sunday at PGA National, Erik van Rooyen has put himself in position to potentially get into a playoff at the Cognizant Classic, which is currently finishing up on Monday. If you can believe it, though, van Rooyen might be perfectly happy with a second-place finish instead. RELATED: Paul Read more…
It’s so easier said than done. “Man, if I could just swing like [insert tour pro].” First of all, you should just swing your own swing. And secondly, it’s absolutely comical to think you could produce a similar move to a ball-striker like, say, Tommy Fleetwood. What you can do, however, is THINK you are Read more…
Back in January, Kevin Kisner made his debut in the NBC/Golf Channel booth at The Sentry. He immediately showed off what he could bring to the table during Saturday evening’s third round, when one of the contenders at Kapalua, Jordan Spieth, took a rather long time to hit a three-foot putt. And missed. “It’s three Read more…
When Keith Mitchell first broke through on the PGA Tour this very week five years ago, he looked like your standard tour pro. Decked out in Nike attire, flat brim hat, the usual.

This week the PGA Tour returns to PGA National, home of the famous (or infamous, depending on how you’ve played it) Bear Trap, a brutal stretch that features a pair of par 3s and a medium-sized par 4 where water lurks everywhere. “It should be won or lost right here,” reads the quote from Jack Read more…
At long last, we have our first winner of 2024, courtesy of the great Pat Mayo, who correctly predicted Jake Knapp’s impressive victory at the Mexico Open at odds of 35-1. That makes Knapp the biggest favorite to win on the PGA Tour so far this season. Didn’t have that one on your bingo card, Read more…
WEST PALM BEACH — The ninth iteration of The Match was already running a little long. Then, after Rose Zhang poured in a short birdie putt to tie Max Homa on the 12th and final hole of the evening, it was about to run a little bit longer. All it took after that, though, was Read more…
One of the many beautiful things about a 36-hole cut is that it forces you to be on your game from the very first tee shot. Of course, knowing that doesn’t make it any easier to get off to a fast start. RELATED: Watch the awesome reaction to this Ugandan golfer making PGA Tour history Read more…
Move over, Wes McCauley. There is a new sherriff in town when it comes to hilarious referee announcements in the NHL, and his name is Garrett Rank.

Golf under lights presents a number of challenges, both logistically and for the golfers themselves. That said, both McIlroy and Homa say they’d be open to an under-lights event at the PGA Tour level.
Heading into Sunday at Riviera, our experts had the leader board covered. Then, Hideki Matsuyama happened.

A number of rogue videos of the supposed incident have already been removed from social media. But they had been spreading like wildfire, as all potential rules controversies do. The CBS crew must have known this was the case, because Jim Nantz quickly brought in rules and review analyst Mark Dusbabek to explain that there was no foul play from Matsuyama.Â
With this victory, his ninth, Matsuyama is now Asia’s most prolific PGA Tour winner, passing South Korea’s K.J. Choi, who has owned that record since the 2011 Players Championship.
Jordan Spieth accepted full responsibility for his disqualification on Friday at the Genesis Invitational, the result of Spieth signing an incorrect scorecard. Now that 48 hours have passed, though, the three-time major winner had no issue poking fun himself and how the whole situation played out.
