We’re entering a fantastic stretch of great events leading up to the Masters, which is great if you’re a PGA Tour fan—and even better if you’re a bettor. The fields will be stacked like it is this week—providing serious value on players a little bit down the odds board. No, we’re not talking about Dustin

5:47 PM ET Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Rory McIlroy was on a shuttle ride back to the Liberty National clubhouse in August 2019 when he was surprised to hear during a chat about PGA Tour policies that no foreign-born player ever has served on the tour’s policy board. “That’s going to change,” McIlroy said
Phil Mickelson has never shied away from the role of raconteur, with the five-time major winner leaning into showmanship as of late with a pop-in at the CBS booth during the 2020 PGA Championship and playing the de facto ringleader in his made-for-TV exhibitions. However, it appears Mickelson may be looking for a more permanent
7:15 AM ET The mere mortals among us who slap it around a golf course while looking for some idea as to how far we need to hit a shot to the green have embraced the use of distance-measuring device for years. Golf’s governing bodies made them legal back in 2014, which meant those who
The way he’s playing right now, Dustin Johnson could make just about any course on the planet his personal playground. Doesn’t matter if it’s in America, Saudi Arabia or on the moon. That said, there is an undeniable love affair between DJ and this week’s Genesis Invitational host site – Riviera Country Club. Since 2014,
After they fist-bumped on Spyglass Hill’s ninth green Friday afternoon, good friends Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth went their separate ways, both literally and figuratively. Spieth went on to contend for a second straight week, the latest positive sign in his comeback process. Fowler, meanwhile, had missed his second straight cut, a continuation of the
Francesco Molinari had glory within his grasp as he made the uphill walk from the 11th green to the 12th tee at Augusta National. It was April 14, 2019, the final round of the Masters, and he held a two-shot lead over a who’s who of the game’s elite. Having won the Open Championship just
PEBBLE BEACH — The eyes of the golf world fixated upon Jordan Spieth on Sunday. Hard to blame them, really, considering the storyline in play: a win, at this iconic golf course, to end The Slump. If someone was going to steal the win from him, it’d be Patrick Cantlay. Cantlay shot 62 on Thursday,
Nate Lashley was a surprise contender on Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Sure he started the day only two strokes back of Jordan Spieth in a tie for second place with four other players. But the 38-year-old journeyman with the lone PGA Tour win (2019 Rocket Mortgage) wasn’t the guy most figured would
6:56 PM ET Associated Press PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — For all the stunning views at Pebble Beach that can be so soothing, Daniel Berger couldn’t escape the tension when he arrived at the final hole Sunday in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He was tied for the lead, needing a birdie on the par-5 18th
PEBBLE BEACH — Jordan Spieth needed a Jordan Spieth moment. Two back, in a divot in the 14th fairway, a wedge in his hand on the short par 5 and his chances on life-support at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, this would’ve been a fantastic time for a third hole-out eagle of the week. He’d
If you feel like there’s some déjà vu going on this Sunday regarding Jordan Spieth, well you’re not alone. Just seven days after Spieth held a share of the lead entering the final round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, he once again is out front in a PGA Tour event. Only this time the
They’re just two dudes playing at Pebble Beach on a Sunday. Nothing to see here really. If there were fans at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the pairing of Joel Dahmen and Sung Kang (along with C.T. Pan)—starting way out on the 10th tee for the fourth round, no less—wouldn’t attract even the seagulls, unless
6:51 PM ET Associated Press PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — One swing put Jordan Spieth closer than ever to ending a long and mystifying slump, and it served as a reminder that he still has a long road ahead at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Two shots behind with three holes to play on Saturday, Spieth
Narratives can change very quickly on the PGA Tour, even in a span of less than 24 hours. On Friday evening, Jordan Spieth was most definitely back, having taken sole possession of the 36-hole lead at Pebble Beach. Then, after a brutal start to his back nine on Saturday, he was two shots off the
1:16 PM ET The first tee can be a nervous place. The first tee at Pebble Beach? Yeah, that adds another layer of nerves. But the professionals, especially someone like Francesco Molinari, who has a major championship, aren’t like the rest of us. Well, maybe they are … Stay dry out there today. 🌧 There
There was no transcript of a Phil Mickelson interview after his second round at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Then again, tour pros who just signed for an 80 don’t often hold a press conference afterward. But the 50-year-old Hall of Famer, a five-time winner on the Monterey Peninsula, spoke volumes with one line picked
The lack of star power was one of the main storylines going into the week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, with no celebrity ams this year and worse yet with almost no big names teeing it up in one of the PGA Tour’s most distinguished and storied events. Then, Jordan Spieth came to the
7:12 PM ET Associated Press PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Jordan Spieth took on a bold tee shot and pulled it off perfectly to set up birdie. He hit a poor 3-wood that went off a tree and back into the fairway that led to another. Whether it’s good golf or good breaks, it’s making him
PEBBLE BEACH — One does not simply hit all 18 greens at Pebble Beach. They are the smallest putting surfaces on the PGA Tour, and a full seven of them are completely exposed to wind whipping off Stillwater Cove. No one has done it in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am since the last year of
11:01 AM ET Associated Press VIRGINIA WATER, England — The Kenya Open will be followed by a new tournament in the East African country next month, the European Tour said Friday. The Kenya Savannah Classic was added to the 2021 schedule for March 23-26 at Karen Country Club in Nairobi and will form a doubleheader
On the same day that the European Tour announced a new addition to its tournament schedule (the €1 million Kenya Savannah Classic March 23-26 will be the first half of an African doubleheader, one week after the Magical Kenya Open), the Ladies European Tour went 27 times better with the unveiling of a record-breaking 2021
PEBBLE BEACH — Deep in the throes of his slump, which may or may not be over, Jordan Spieth offered a harrowing description of his relationship with golf. “I almost feel the game is testing me a little bit right now,” he said at the 2020 PGA Championship, “because I feel really good about the
7:50 PM ET Associated Press PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Patrick Cantlay looked just as good Thursday at Pebble Beach as the last round he played 18 days ago. Jordan Spieth looked as good as his last tournament, too. Coming off a 61 in the California desert followed by at two-week break, Cantlay opened with seven
Jordan Spieth sent Golf Twitter into a tizzy last Saturday—and for good reason. The three-time major champ shot a career-low 61 that included 10 birdies. More importantly, it was the first time this season he provided any of his fans reason to be optimistic that he’s rounding back into the form that once made him
11:40 AM ET For the first time in major professional competition, distance-measuring devices will be allowed this year at the three major championships run by the PGA of America: The PGA Championship, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the Kitchen Aid Senior PGA Championship. The devices, which are used extensively in amateur and recreational play,
A stranger approached, his face and shoulders and steps carrying the weight of an impalpable hurt. It was the look of men who have fallen on hard times, a look, Ken Bentley remembers, that seemed far from fresh. Someone had pointed the man in Bentley’s direction at the Pacific Palms Course in Los Angeles, where
It’s only been five years since Gabriela Ruffels gave up a competitive tennis career to give golf a try. In that time, the Australian has risen to the top of the college and amateur rankings, becoming an All-American at USC and winning the 2019 U.S. Women’s Amateur title. That rapid climb continued on Wednesday, when
7:02 AM ET Associated Press Open Championship organizers said on Wednesday they have “cautious optimism” that golf’s oldest major will go ahead at Royal St. George’s in July. The event was canceled last year — for the first time since 1945 — because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the R&A effectively pushing its schedule back
For those of us who have followed his professional career, Jordan Spieth’s Saturday 61 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open felt like old times, old times being 2015-2017. For Will Zalatoris, Spieth’s third-round highwire act felt like really old times. Zalatoris, 24, is three years Spieth’s junior, but he was good enough at a young
