PEBBLE BEACH — Jordan Spieth, the inaugural recipient of The Legacy, a new award presented in conjunction with the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, probably deserves another award for how to accept an award.

If success can be measured by the amount of joy someone derives from a given enterprise, then Shane Lowry would have to say that the premiere edition of TGL went exceedingly well.

Today at Pebble Beach Golf Links, the world’s No.1 golfer finally described the events that led to the freak injury, which required surgery and forced him to miss two intended starts in the first month of the PGA Tour season.
The Northern Irishman says he used multiple simulators in preparation to ‘test’ the accuracy of the SoFi Center’s sim, while also offering a valid theory behind the artificial green complex’s bunker sand.
A less-is-more approach might be needed for a sport people want to “bash”, as McIlroy put it, while he himself sees some signs of stress in a tour he has gone to great lengths to preserve.
Justin Rose and his family call London home, but during the period of life when they lived in Orlando, the golfer enjoyed numerous opportunities to interact with Arnold Palmer at Bay Hill Club.

CBS Sports begins its 68th consecutive year broadcasting the PGA Tour this weekend with the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, which, in itself, is an “Eye”-popping figure, to borrow some network terminology.

Throughout the final round Sunday at Waialae Country Club it appeared that the Sony Open in Hawaii would be decided by a head-to-head duel between two men. And it did. Just not the two men anyone expected. Your winner of the year’s first full-field event on the PGA Tour is Canada’s Nick Taylor, who has Read more…
The league features six teams of four players from the PGA Tour, though only three men compete in each 15-hole match scheduled to fit in a two-hour broadcast window.
After a one-year delay, arguably the greatest experiment in professional golf premieres Jan. 7 in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. That experiment is TGL, an indoor team match-play golf league that meshes simulator, synthetic and authentic elements of the game. On first look, TGL setup is way cooler than we imagined TGL is the creation of Read more…
In 1989, Ray Floyd expressed hope that the PGA Tour might shave 25 spots from its annual all-exempt structure that it had instituted seven years earlier. Floyd argued that the all-exempt tour, in which the top 125 money winners retained their tour cards for the next season, had facilitated mediocrity. Too many players could make Read more…
Tiger Woods and his son Charlie shot 15-under 57 and posted a record 28 under par Sunday in the PNC Championship, a performance highlighted by Charlie’s first career hole-in-one. Tiger didn’t look like a man who had undergone his sixth back surgery three months ago, swinging smoothly and walking without a limp. Charlie made about Read more…
Maybe the surest sign that Tiger Woods is making strides towards being ready to compete in 2025 was the strides he made Friday at the PNC Championship.
ORLANDO — Fred Couples heard for years what a great experience the PNC Championship is for fathers, mothers, sons and daughters, but without children of his own, the former Masters champion had to be content to live vicariously through friends like Ray Floyd and Davis Love III.

Keeping himself in shape all these years has its purpose beyond breaking his age continually on the golf course or outdriving his best friend Jack Nicklaus at the Masters every year as honourary starters.
First impressions of the custom-built SoFi Center that serves as the home of TGL, the new simulator-based team golf circuit that debuts in January, is that no expense appears to have been spared. It is singularly impressive, operationally functional and groundbreaking in the technical sense for which it was created.
There isn’t much of consequence that occurs among the early groups that venture out for the final round of a PGA Tour event—and that goes for the Masters Tournament, too.

Scheffler was a near-unanimous selection for Player of the Year among a tally of his peers, receiving 91 percent of the vote over two-time major winner Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy.
What his prospects are for playing in PGA Tour events or major championship in 2025 remain unclear, but Woods knows that his recovery from micro-decompression surgery of the lumbar spine on September 13, his sixth back operation since 2004, hasn’t progressed enough to compete in this week’s Hero World Challenge in Nassau, Bahamas.
