Jordan, Jordan, Jordan. The term Spiethian has popped up quite often over Jordan Spieth’s career, meaning his propensity for finding a way to make a good score on a given hole even though his ball may have been in some awkward places. It happened again Sunday during the final round of the WM Phoenix Open. Read more…
Conditions at the Vic Open were so tough. How tough were they? Well, New Zealand’s Josh Geary shot a final-round 78 to win by four shots at 13th Beach Golf Links. The 40-year-old cruised the first three rounds shooting 64-65-68 in the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia event. Fearing he may have thrown away his Read more…
Haotong Li was touted as a global star in the early part of his career, but rode a rollercoaster career throughout his 20s. Victory overnight in Qatar was the 29-year-old Chinese pro’s first in three years.
Thomas earned $US959,200 for his 23-under-par performance in Palm Springs, California, which pushed him past the $US60-million mark in career earnings.
New year, same Johnson Wagner. Thankfully. The three-time PGA Tour winner and Golf Channel analyst proved that he was a man of the people often last year when he’d attempt to recreate important shots at the game’s biggest events. He’s hit awful shots, decent shots and great shots, but he’s never afraid to try, which Read more…

The longtime entertainer and comedian played golf all Read more…

Hideki Matsuyama isn’t lighting up Waialae Country Club at the Sony Open like he did Kapalua last week en route to winning The Sentry with a record 35-under-par total. But he did hit one of the most amazing shots you’ll see on the PGA Tour. This one, however, was clearly unintentional. The 32-year-old from Japan Read more…
Thanks, Will Zalatoris. Zalatoris and playing partner Cam Davis were both cruising late Sunday at The Sentry when one of the most bizarre things happen that you’ll ever see at a PGA Tour event.

The top five and ties secured PGA Tour status for next year, but the next 40 finishers and ties earned starts on the Korn Ferry Tour, the next 20 earned starts on PGA Tour Americas and the remainder of the field will hold conditional status on the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Americas for 2025.

The last time Carlota Ciganda made headlines in her native Spain was only a year ago when she secured the final point Europe needed to retain the Solheim Cup.

It was a par putt. On the 18th hole at Sea Island’s Seaside Course to end the second round of the RSM Classic. Only five feet, six inches. But it was the difference between Joel Dahmen potentially having a place to play next year on the PGA Tour … or not. The 37-year-old tour winner Read more…
