Welcome to the the 106th PGA at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. The horse-racing town will welcome the world’s best golfers as the second men’s major of 2024 gets underway. Here are some of the storylines you should be watching for.
Five Australians will line up at the Byron Nelson tournament at the TPC Craig Ranch course in McKinney, Texas, on the PGA Tour this week, with defending champion Jason Day joining Adam Scott as former winners of the event.
Cameron Smith’s Masters bid got off to a flyer with a stunning eagle, but the Australian fell short of reeling in eventual winner Scottie Scheffler, instead setting for his fifth top-10 result at the Masters in eight career starts.
Cameron Smith has warned critics to write him off at their own peril, declaring himself “still in the golf tournament” as the Masters builds towards a grandstand finish.
The old adage is that the Masters doesn’t start until the back nine on Sunday. That might be true, but only for those who get themselves into contention before Sunday’s final nine.
Cameron Smith points to his idol, friend and mentor, Adam Scott, as a reason to push through a mystery illness he came down with on the eve of the Masters.
Cameron Smith says his “body shut down” after food poisoning while Min Woo Lee also copped the flu and a broken finger as two of Australia’s hopes at the Masters battle an injury and illness cloud while preparing for the year’s first major.
Adam Scott has performed well in his last competitive start before the Masters at Augusta National, registering a tie for 14th at the Valero Texas Open.
Twenty years ago, Adam Scott announced his arrival on golf’s biggest stage by winning the Players Championship at the Stadium course at TPC Sawgrass. Ahead of the 50th anniversary of the PGA Tour’s flagship, US$25 million tournament this week, Scott reflects on his famous victory and what it means in his illustrious career which includes 14 PGA Tour titles.

While a few players in attendance expressed a mild level of interest in a what-if scenario that could allow LIV reinforcements, the overriding sentiment was that there is no sense wasting time or energy on a situation out of their control.
