Even Scottie Scheffler had to break out into a broad smile after watching his playing partner, Rory McIlroy, convert a 17-foot birdie putt on the home hole at East Lake Golf Club Thursday afternoon.
Newly-minted PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp has enlisted Australia’s Adam Scott and Tiger Woods with building the “best professional golf model” as part of a new consortium that the former NFL executive dubbed the Future Competition Committee.

In his first official move after 18 days on the job, Rolapp announced the formation of a nine-member committee chaired by Tiger Woods and, perhaps tellingly, includes two figures with ties to Strategic Sports Group, the organisation that last year agreed to pour $US1.5 billion into the tour’s new parent entity.

On Wednesday at the BMW Championship, McIlroy was asked if he remembered how he spent that first pay cheque, which prompted a rather sheepish admission from the five-time major champion.
This week’s BMW Championship at Caves Valley Country Club outside of Baltimore will only have a field of 49 players. That’s after the PGA Tour announced Monday that Sepp Straka has withdrawn from the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
South African golfer Christo Lamprecht delivered drama at the Pinnacle Bank Championship when he was in a greenside bunker on the last but dialled up a textbook bunker shot that trick-trick-trickled in, handing him his first ever Korn Ferry Tour victory.
