In a Ryder Cup year, it’s never too early to ask the big questions about what’s coming in the northern autumn. And this year, after Brooks Koepka’s win at the PGA Championship, we have a really big question: should he make the US Ryder Cup team?
Faxon argued the golfers are playing for their countries and not their tour. And Chamblee still wasn’t having it. Have a look as this debate leads to an all-time awkward moment between the two.
If there’s any consolation, Scheffler’s finish at Oak Hill did allow him to jump Jon Rahm and return to the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking. Although that was news to Scheffler.
Koepka’s victory is a huge development for the Saudi-backed league, but Koepka wasn’t thinking big-picture when he was asked if his win validated LIV Golf.
Phil Mickelson made a messy double bogey on Oak Hill’s sixth hole during Friday’s second round of the 2023 PGA Championship. If it weren’t for a PGA rules official, however, it would have been even worse.
With the PGA settled into its new May spot on the calendar, there remain moments in its history that feel just so, well, PGA-like. We’d argue they give the championship a character that the rest of the Majors might actually envy – moments of humour and levity that have an appealing, let’s-not-take-ourselves-too-seriously feel. These moments deserve commemoration as well.
Mickelson appeared to be calling out the fact that a handful of LIV golfers who were not in the PGA Championship field are ranked higher on the Official World Golf Ranking than at least one golfer who will be competing, Beau Hossler, ranked 128th.
This is the time of the year where the PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) of America vs PGA Tour confusion reaches its peak. Confusion reigns about what golf’s other main bodies do, too.
Ninety-nine of the top 100 players in the Official World Golf Ranking are listed in the field, with Will Zalatoris the only one missing as he is not competing due to recent back surgery.
