The days leading up to the Ryder Cup are notoriously slow on the media side, so it’s little surprise one of the biggest talking points this week has been money – specifically, whether players should be paid to compete. Here’s a breakdown of why it’s become a hot issue in 2025, explained in Q&A style.
In the 35 years since Cypress Point Club took itself out of the rotation for the PGA Tour’s Bing Crosby Clambake—otherwise known as the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am—there have been few glimpses of it from those who are outside of its 250 members and their grateful guests.
Ernie Els hopes he’ll have the opportunity to compete against Tiger Woods again next year on the PGA Tour Champions. He thinks the senior circuit would be a benefit to the 15-time major champion as well.
Not only did those at East Lake Golf Club show their appreciation, moments after the final putt dropped on the PGA Tour season, many of the world’s top sports stars went to social media to send their love to Fleetwood.
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.
At an Oregon golf club heavily connected to Tiger Woods, Australian star junior Jesse Linden catapulted himself into the lead at an American Junior Golf Association tournament courtesy of a dramatic hole in one captured in stunning phone footage by his father in the gallery.
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.
The PGA Tour announced a seismic shift in its leadership structure Tuesday, naming NFL veteran Brian Rolapp as chief executive officer of both the tour and PGA Tour Enterprises. You have questions, we have (some) answers. Here is what you need to know about the tour’s leadership transition:
Harry Vardon made $US200 after winning the 1900 US Open. And just this week, a golf ball he played to win at Chicago Golf Club was sold for $US194,259 ($A298,000). Yes, there’s inflation and 125 years to account for, but that’s quite the monetary leap for a Spalding “Vardon” Flyer.
After opening with an outrageous two-under 70 and following it up with a seven-under 65 at Streamsong Black, a multi-course resort in central Florida, Tiger Woods’s son Charlie closed out the AJGA’s Team TaylorMade Invitational with an impressive six-under 66.
Motor City Golf Club is the worst-kept secret in (simulator) golf. Earlier this month, reports surfaced that TGL—the upstart simulator golf league from Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy—had filed a trademark for the franchise moniker.
