Right around this time last year, in fact, quite literally at this time last year, Tony Finau rolled into the Mexico Open looking a little lost. In the 11 starts prior, he had missed four cuts and failed to record a single finish higher than 19th. And that 19th came at the Sentry Tournament of

It would be, for many, the biggest nightmare that can happen on a golf course. No, not a four-jack or a snowman quadruple-bogey. For Chez Reavie, Francesco Molinari and Erik Van Rooyen, the 10th hole at Vidanta presented something far more terrifying than those possibilities: a swarm of bees barreling down the fairway coming right

10:03 PM ET Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Linnea Johansson shot a 7-under 64 to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the JM Eagle LA Championship on Thursday at Wilshire Country Club.

It wasn’t the easiest of days for Jon Rahm, the prohibitive favorite at the Mexico Open at Vidanta, but Rahm rebounded from some early scratchy play and finished with four birdies in his last 10 holes that had him in a better mood by the end—and a little forgetful as witnessed by this exchange with

2:56 PM ET Fresh off a $4 million payday and his first LIV Golf title, Talor Gooch should be on cloud nine. Instead, the 31-year-old American is irked about a rule change that will keep him out of the 2023 U.S. Open. Appearing on the “73rd Hole” podcast, Gooch said he thought he had locked

Talor Gooch is coming off a $4 million win in the most recent LIV Golf event in Australia, but he’s not quite as happy as you would think. Actually, he still a bit irked that he’s not in one of this year’s four men’s majors. Gooch noted on this week’s 73rd Hole Podcast that he

Set to be played on the rugged Los Angeles Country Club North Course amid the skyscapers of America’s second-largest city, the 123rd U.S. Open in June already figures to be one of the most unique major championships in recent memory.

Earlier this month, Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley announced the Masters would continue to use the Official World Golf Ranking as a qualifying category in 2024. “It’s a really good way to invite players.It’s an objective criteria based on data-driven analytics, and it’s consistently applied.

Last year on May 1, Jon Rahm halted a “drought” to win the Mexico Open. It’s a little bit insane to call it a drought unless you’re operating by some very high standards. In June of the previous year, he won the U.S. Open, so it hadn’t even been a year since his last American

5:31 PM ET The first women’s major championship of the season is in the books. The second men’s major, the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, is three weeks away.

I had not planned to cover LIV London; my kids’ summer vacation had just begun, and I would be away the ensuing week for the U.S. Open. But once Phil announced his return to public life, I felt compelled to be there. I scrambled to get an overnight flight and landed in London on the

It’s only five months until the 2023 Ryder Cup in Italy gets underway and we still don’t know if Team USA captain Zach Johnson will choose any LIV Golfers among his six captain’s picks.

Since turning professional in 1971, Tom Watson has been an ardent supporter of junior golf programs but always felt a nagging sense that more could be done at the introductory level to help grow the game and, as he says, “create lifetime golfers.” That feeling only grew stronger as he sensed a “hole” forming at

Slow play. It’s all the rage right now. Just ask Patrick Cantlay, who caught all sorts of slow-play shrapnel at the Masters and the RBC Heritage, for (seemingly) good reason. Fortunately for Cantlay, the discourse died down a bit this past weekend, mainly because the Zurich Classic didn’t have nearly the amount of eyeballs on

8:01 PM ET Associated Press THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Lilia Vu birdied the first playoff hole to win her first major at the Chevron Championship after fellow American Angel Yin hit her approach shot into the water on Sunday.
