What’s the saying? Beware the injured golfer. Enter Sam Ryder. The 35-year-old from Florida has played well this year, making all nine cuts. But he only has two top-20 finishes, both coming in the last month. This week he came to the Valero Texas Open and tweaked his neck and upper back Tuesday after playing Read more…
In a Wednesday press conference with Bryson DeChambeau and Joaquin Niemann, the brutally honest five-time major champion was asked to assess LIV Golf, now that the league is well into its fourth year. And he didn’t mince words. Again.
Rory McIlroy shot 65-64 over the weekend of the Texas Children’s Houston Open. He tied for fifth place. Moments later he admitted to NBC Sports that his right elbow has been bothering, that he made a driver tweak Saturday on the range and that his game is not 100 percent. The Masters starts in 11 Read more…
Billy Horschel, the lefty. Turns out the right-hander can hit a mean left-handed shot, as evidenced by a stellar wedge shot early during the final round of the Valspar Championship.
Mere minutes after Golf Digest published a feature on Alejandro Tosti entitled, “He’s been labeled golf’s bad boy. But does golf have Alejandro Tosti all wrong?” the 28-year-old from Argentina stepped on the tee at the infamous par-3 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, on the eve of the Players Championship. Well, see for yourself what Read more…
Tiger Woods was in the stands March 1 when his daughter Sam helped her school win a Florida state soccer title. Sam Woods is a senior at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach. The Buccaneers topped Episcopal School, 1-0, in the Florida High School Athletic Association’s Class 2A final in Deland. Emma Bartoli scored the Read more…
AimPoint made headlines again over the weekend, this time on the LPGA when A Lim Kim was spotted on television using the routine for a putt that was only about 18 inches long.
Jordan, Jordan, Jordan. The term Spiethian has popped up quite often over Jordan Spieth’s career, meaning his propensity for finding a way to make a good score on a given hole even though his ball may have been in some awkward places. It happened again Sunday during the final round of the WM Phoenix Open. Read more…
Conditions at the Vic Open were so tough. How tough were they? Well, New Zealand’s Josh Geary shot a final-round 78 to win by four shots at 13th Beach Golf Links.

Thomas earned $US959,200 for his 23-under-par performance in Palm Springs, California, which pushed him past the $US60-million mark in career earnings.
New year, same Johnson Wagner. Thankfully. The three-time PGA Tour winner and Golf Channel analyst proved that he was a man of the people often last year when he’d attempt to recreate important shots at the game’s biggest events. He’s hit awful shots, decent shots and great shots, but he’s never afraid to try, which Read more…
Bob Hope died 22 years ago. His name has not been on the marquee of this week’s PGA Tour event since 2011. But make no mistake, the tournament now known as the American Express would not be what it is without Hope’s contributions from 65 years ago. The longtime entertainer and comedian played golf all Read more…

Hideki Matsuyama isn’t lighting up Waialae Country Club at the Sony Open like he did Kapalua last week en route to winning The Sentry with a record 35-under-par total. But he did hit one of the most amazing shots you’ll see on the PGA Tour. This one, however, was clearly unintentional. The 32-year-old from Japan Read more…
Thanks, Will Zalatoris. Zalatoris and playing partner Cam Davis were both cruising late Sunday at The Sentry when one of the most bizarre things happen that you’ll ever see at a PGA Tour event. Playing the par-5 15th hole at Kapalua, Zalatoris hit his second shot just short and right of the green. Davis went Read more…
