Overnight, Golfweek reported that 2023 will be the final year of the event in its current iteration as it seeks a new site and sponsor. Two sources familiar with the situation confirmed the news to Golf Digest.
As golfers play three different courses over the first three rounds and on different days, the tour is trying to ensure that everyone plays each course under the same set of rules.
On a trip last fall to Augusta National Golf Club, Larry Mize played the member tees for just the second time since he stunned Greg Norman in a playoff to win the 1987 Masters Tournament. It was a revelation, of sorts.
The two-time Masters champ is making his return to competitive golf at this week’s Saudi International after a right knee injury that kept him off the course for eight months. It will also mark his first event since leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf.
After struggling on day one, Jon Rahm remembered who he was and where he was at, answering with an eagle and three straight birdies to jump off the cutline and into the mix at the Farmers Insurance Open.
