Hell hath no fury like a Ryder Cup fan scorned. Especially when it comes to trying to land tickets to the biennial event. The good news? Some fans who were shut out earlier this month because of an apparent technical glitch in the PGA of America’s online ordering system have been able to get tickets

8:40 PM ET CHIBA, Japan — The journey to Japan was ostensibly about fulfilling corporate obligations, participating in a made-for-TV exhibition and getting in some reps following knee surgery and physical challenges that dogged Tiger Woods‘ throughout the summer. Nobody — including Woods, if he is honest — was thinking about a victory, and a

Hinako Shibuno became the LPGA Tour’s most unlikely winner of 2019 when she won the AIG Women’s British Open, her first-ever tournament outside of Japan. An instant crowd-favorite due to her bubbly on-course demeanor and constant smile, the 20-year-old rookie on the Japanese LPGA Tour didn’t instantly decide to take the option of joining the

8:23 AM ET Lisa D. Mickey News headlines around the world have exploded ever since Tiger Woods tied Sam Snead‘s 82 career PGA Tour wins on Sunday. Granted, it is an outstanding feat for a man who has recorded a remarkable career. But there has been one important thing missing in the conversation about Woods’

If you build it, they will come. The famed “Field of Dreams” line may as well be the mantra of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Although, the popular PGA Tour stop stopped officially announcing attendance numbers this past year, the tournament continues to figure out new ways to pack people in. And 2020 is going

On Tuesday, CBS Sports announced that it has hired Davis Love III as one of its golf analysts, beginning in 2020, with Love’s debut coming at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in January. He’ll also work the Masters, the PGA Championship and a number of other PGA Tour events. The news comes after

9:19 AM ET Tiger Woods posted a seemingly out-of-nowhere win at the Zozo Championship after a knee procedure and nine-week layoff. So, of course, that leads to the most important question of all: Now what? We go through a little of everything, from next year to career totals to the conversation about being player and

An about face from the NCAA might keep the association from a protracted legal fight with the California state legislature—and potentially change the economics of college sports, golf included, in the process. It could also create new wrinkles with other golf rules around amateur status. On Tuesday, the NCAA Board of Governors announced it had

10:13 AM ET When Tiger Woods hit his opening tee shot in the water at the 10th to start the Zozo Championship, it certainly was not an ideal beginning. That led to a bogey, and when he snapped his tee shot on the second hole (the 11th at the Narashino Country Club) into the trees

Tiger Woods and Graham DeLaet wouldn’t seem to have much in common. And for the most part, they don’t, save for one random similarity: Both have undergone microdiscectomy surgery on their respective backs—twice. Wait, let’s make that two similarities: Both are also playing golf again. While Woods’ return to form has taken shape incredibly over

That Tiger Woods won a golf tournament on Monday, tying Sam Snead for the PGA Tour’s all-time victory mark, wasn’t really all that surprising. Remarkable, yes, but not surprising. Consider the following: • Gordie Howe had his first 100-point season in the NHL at age 40 with 44 goals and 59 assists, and played until

11:56 PM ET CHIBA, Japan — Tiger Woods the player seemingly made it pretty easy Monday for Tiger Woods the Presidents Cup captain. There has been considerable speculation about whether Woods would pick himself among four captain’s choices for the 12-man team that will play against an International squad at Royal Melbourne in December. Woods’

If you work at Golf Digest, you are bound to hear two questions often: 1.) Do you know Tiger Woods? and 2.) Who are the nicest guys on the PGA Tour? While the answer to the former is usually a disappointing “No,” Golf Digest has tried to answer the latter for a third time with

11:06 AM ET CHIBA, Japan — A typhoon, of all things, interrupted Tiger Woods‘ unlikely brush with history. As the rain hammered down Friday, postponing play at the Zozo Championship and causing considerable upheaval in the region, Woods and several others ventured to a Narita movie theater to catch “Joker.” Woods called the film “dark,”

Welcome to the Dew Sweeper, your one-stop shop to catch up on the weekend action from the golf world. From the professional tours, trending news, social media headlines and upcoming events, here’s every golf-related thing you need to know for the morning of Oct. 28. Tiger ties Snead The greats can make the routine spectacular,

It’s been increasingly popular to dismiss, if not denigrate, the accomplishments of Sam Snead since Tiger Woods resumed his pursuit of The Slammer’s seemingly insurmountable mark of 82 PGA Tour titles. Whether suspect or subjective, Snead’s record was established long before Woods began his journey to Sunday’s historic crossroads with his first career victory at

8:34 PM ET In his healthy prime, Tiger Woods was Mike Tyson in a red shirt and slacks. He arrived at the tee box as if he were stepping through the ropes and into the ring, where cowering, wide-eyed opponents all but prepped themselves for the knockout. Woods is no longer that heavyweight champ who

The last regular-season event on the European Tour is one invariably filled with tales of tour cards lost and found. And the 2019 Portugal Masters did not disappoint. Happiest man on the Dom Pedro Victoria course at Vilamoura, however, was surely Steven Brown. The 32-year old Englishman arrived on the Algarve a lowly 150th on

6:12 AM ET CHIBA, Japan — Tiger Woods left Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in darkness Sunday night. When he returns Monday morning it won’t be much lighter. This is typically a worst-case scenario for Woods, who doesn’t do well with marathon days on the golf course followed by early wake-up calls. And yet, it

Ha Na Jang is no stranger to the LPGA, having won four times in 2½ years on tour in 2016 and 2017. The 27-year-old has the opportunity to return if she wishes, after shooting a final-round 65 at the BMW Ladies Championship, then winning the title in her native South Korea in a three-hole playoff

CHIBA, Japan — A little more than 10 years ago, a Japanese 17-year-old was golf’s can’t-miss kid. He’d just won his third tournament of the year on the Japan Golf Tour, and in doing so became the youngest golfer ever to crack the top 50 in the World Ranking. He seemed destined to become one

2:10 PM ET South Africa’s Brandon Stone shot a round of 66 as he finished the third day of the Portugal Masters with a two-shot lead over compatriot Dean Burmester and England’s Oliver Fisher Saturday. Stone started poorly, bogeying the third hole, but then carded six birdies to jump to the top of the leaderboard

Two mainstays of CBS Sports’ golf broadcast team are not returning in 2020. The contracts of Gary McCord and Peter Kostis have not been renewed for next season by the network. Golfweek’s Geoff Shackelford and Sports Business Jornal’s John Ourand reported the news on Saturday, and CBS confirmed the move to Golf Digest in a

6:16 AM ET CHIBA, Japan — Even Tiger Woods is a bit surprised at how well he is faring through two rounds of the Zozo Championship. Usually one to never lower expectations, Woods realized that what he has been through in recent months did not necessarily suggest he’d be in top form. But rounds of

CHIBA, Japan — Any doubts as to whether Tiger Woods was really, truly a threat to win this week at the Zozo Championship were answered on the first hole Saturday at Narashino Country Club. Woods started things with high-draw fairway wood down the middle, followed that with a knockdown approach right at the flag, and

Mother Nature has already affected the tournament schedule at the Zozo Championship, which is set to finish on Monday due to excessive amounts of rain. Now, she’s wreaking havoc on the scorecard. Because of the flooding, the fairway at Narashino Country Club’s 376-yard par-4 10th was so soaked that it was unplayable at its full

8:05 PM ET CHIBA, Japan — Brooks Koepka was not on the commitment list for next week’s WGC-HSBC Champions after withdrawing from a PGA Tour event in South Korea on Oct 18. Koepka, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, slipped on wet concrete during the second round of the CJ Cup, where he was

A.J. McInerney will always be known as the tour pro who showed amazing bravery during the horrific Las Vegas shooting. But he’s also still a great putter—even if that club recently let him down in a big spot. After missing the cut at the first stage of Q School in excruciating fashion on the final

7:49 AM ET CHIBA, Japan — Due to more than six inches of rain that fell on the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club course on Friday, tee times have been adjusted, spectators will not be allowed Saturday and the PGA Tour announced the Zozo Championship would need a Monday finish to complete 72 holes. Rain

Editor’s Note: This story first appeared in Golf World magazine in 2009 on the 10th anniversary of the plane accident that killed Payne Stewart and five others. It was a cool morning in late October with a few puffy, white clouds in the sky. It would reach the middle-70s later in the afternoon. A light
