7:36 AM ET Like all golf tournaments during the pandemic, Pebble Beach will look considerably different this week, perhaps more so than any other event. Sure, unobstructed views of the coastal waters will be nice, as will some other perks associated with watching in non-spectator times. But for the first time in the AT&T Pebble

The R&A announced Wednesday that it has “cautious optimism” its Open Championship will be played this summer.

Although there won’t be a pro-am portion this year, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will still feature the traditional field of 156 pros competing at one of the world’s most beautiful golf courses.

1:33 PM ET Associated Press Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington has tested positive for the coronavirus and has withdrawn from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Harrington missed the cut last week at the Phoenix Open, ending his streak of seven consecutive cuts made worldwide. The Irishman is the fifth player this year in six PGA
Francis Ouimet was an obvious choice to be the inaugural recipient of the USGA’s Bob Jones Award in 1955. As the first amateur to capture the U.S. Open in 1913, Ouimet exemplified the ideal Jones held dear in remaining an amateur all of his life. Interestingly, since Ouimet, more pro golfers—from Arnold Palmer and Jack
12:29 PM ET Associated Press More than a decade after Annika Sorenstam won her last LPGA Tour event, she’s ready to tee it up again.

It wasn’t the ending Davis Thompson was hoping for on Sunday at the Jones Cup Invitational.

World No. 1 and tournament favorite Dustin Johnson withdrew from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am on Monday evening. There was no immediate reason cited by Johnson or the event for his decision. On Sunday Johnson won the European Tour’s Saudi International by two strokes. It was Johnson’s fifth victory in his last 13 starts,
7:48 PM ET SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Over the first two days of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Jordan Spieth saw the kind of round he’s been looking for. He putted “out of his mind” and then hit 11 fairways. Unfortunately, for Spieth, the two didn’t happen on the same day. The former came Thursday, the
If you were hoping to bet Jordan Spieth at long odds ahead of the 2021 Masters, you probably just missed your window.

8:59 PM ET SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Jordan Spieth knows what it’s like to lead a tournament after 54 holes. It just hasn’t happened for a while. And that has Spieth expecting to be nervous Sunday when he starts the final round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open in search of his first win since The
Dustin Johnson took over as the World No. 1 for the sixth time in his career last August after winning The Northern Trust by an eye-popping 11 strokes. Ever since, he’s done nothing to suggest that he’s not the best golfer on the planet, winning the FedEx Cup in September and claiming his second major
The “My God, Jordan Spieth’s in contention!” Sunday diary (blow by brutal blow) 1:00 p.m.: Hello. Deep breaths. Count to 10. If you told me last week that Jordan Spieth would be tied for the lead heading into the final round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, I’d have raised an eyebrow, maybe, but whatever
6:41 PM ET ESPN News Services SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — At the lowest points in an 18-month struggle with left knee and hip problems, Brooks Koepka wondered if he’d ever be back at all, let alone recapture the magic that carried him to four major championships. “It’s been a wild ride for the last year and
As Justin Thomas attempts to make up a four-shot deficit on co-leaders Jordan Spieth and Xander Schauffele in the final round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, he’ll do so with mixed emotions.

In case you haven’t heard—although judging by social-media chatter on Saturday you had—it’s been a while since one of the game’s bright young talents, Jordan Spieth, has won on the PGA Tour. Which is why there’s so much excitement about what might happen on Sunday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Spieth, a three-time major
There were incredible picks of the ball from off the desert hardpan. There was a chip-in, a couple of putting bombs and, of course, a few lucky bounces. Jordan Spieth’s third-round show in the Waste Management Phoenix Open had it all, and with the exception of one missed four-footer for birdie that would have given
6:17 PM ET Associated Press SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A day after saying he needed to be patient about results, Jordan Spieth shot a 10-under 61 on Saturday for a share of the lead in the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

If you knew nothing about golf but a little something about math, and someone came to you with a printed stack of advanced stats—strokes gained, especially—it would be simple to identify the good players, and even simpler to identify the great ones.

The Waste Management Phoenix Open won’t be its usual raucous affair, but it will have something other PGA Tour events have been without: a gallery. WMPO officials will welcome 5,000 fans each day at TPC Scottsdale, the most of any tournament since the tour resumed play after its COVID-19 hiatus in June. Those fans will
Riding a roller coaster has been a popular analog for following Jordan Spieth, albeit one that’s not necessarily kindred. For if the Spieth Experience was an amusement ride, said ride would have been shut down long ago for slamming into banks and gliding off the tracks and ejecting its passengers mid-barrel roll. Of course, even
8:45 PM ET Associated Press SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Steve Stricker is having too much fun at the Waste Management Phoenix Open to stress over a messy finish Friday.

Long before Bryson DeChambeau began making a moon shot routine, astronaut Alan Shepard made a moon shot for posterity.

Justin Suh tied for 37th at last week’s Farmers Insurance Open. The result netted him a solid payday—$34,125 to be precise—and came at a good time given that the former USC All-American is currently waiting for the PGA Tour Latinoamerica season to resume and was only in the field at Torrey Pines because of a
8:55 PM ET Associated Press SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Co-leader Matthew NeSmith nearly made a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th and barely got a reaction from the few fans. Xander Schauffele flubbed a chip and couldn’t help but hear a surprised spectator’s reaction. With attendance capped at about 5,000 at sunny TPC Scottsdale, a fraction of
Compared to what we’ve had since the COVID-19 restart last June, the scene on Thursday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open was as electric as it gets. Of course, it’s nowhere near as electric as it would get at TPC Scottsdale during a normal season, but we’ll take what we can get this time. And
Cameron Champ is ordinarily cool, reserved and polite. But in the summer of 2020, he was outraged. In March of that year, Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black medical worker, was shot and killed by white, plainclothes Louisville police officers in a bungled raid on her apartment. Five months later, a white Kenosha, Wis., police officer
