Trey Mullinax is off to one of his best starts this season on the PGA Tour following opening rounds of 67-69 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, but it’s hardly been a stress-free week.
In this week’s edition, Jordan Spieth continues on the path back to competitive relevance, Tiger Woods’s path to the U.S. Open taking shape, and the PGA Tour considers a new path for the weekend players.
The PGA Tour is poised to end its secondary-cut experiment in exchange for a new policy that would limit the number of players who advance to the weekend.
Tiger Woods committed to next week’s Memorial Tournament on Thursday morning ending speculation that he might not play between the PGA Championship and U.S. Open.
If the knock on Brooks Koepka is that he only wins majors, then we’re searching for problems where none exist.
“I can’t tell you the last time I made four bogeys in a row,” Koepka said Sunday night, sitting next to the Wanamaker.
It turns out Brooks Koepka will have the final word in a spat with Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee that began at last month’s Masters.
If you trace Brooks Koepka’s past you’ll come across several stops along the way that helped turn him into the game’s most dominant major peformer.
They will likely be extras in a Sunday play that has evolved into a one-man show, but Harold Varner III and Jazz Janewattananond will have plenty of motivation at the PGA Championship.
The 101st PGA Championship is all-but over and Brooks Koepka is closing in on securing more history is a very short period of time.
The Ryder Cup will be held at Bethpage Black in five years, but Graeme McDowell said it won’t be setup anything like it was this week for the PGA Championship.
There was something historically fitting that Brooks Keopka would shatter the 36-hole scoring record at the PGA Championship playing alongside Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods has said his schedule will be more selective going forward. If that means the occasional clunker interspersed with captivating performances, so be it.
Through three holes Friday at the PGA Championship Rory McIlroy had one foot out of the door at Bethpage Black. But a good stretch on his back nine will keep him around for the weekend.
Dustin Johnson was his dominant self from tee to green Friday at the PGA Championship. His putting was another story.
Phil Mickelson got off to a rough start on Thursday at Bethpage, but the people’s champion turned it around and eventually carded a first-round 69 thanks to a tip from his brother/caddie Tim.
It’s no secret Bethpage Black is a big golf course that rewards the game’s longest hitters but on Thursday Danny Lee proved there is room for the mid-length players to still compete.
Tommy Fleetwood finished runner-up to Brooks Koepka the last time a major championship was played in the New York area, when he closed with a 63 at Shinnecock Hills at last year’s U.S. Open.
Brooks Koepka says he’s ‘not the most confident person on Poa.’ Oh, really? Shinnecock has Poa greens. Bethpage has Poa greens.
The statistically toughest hole this season on the PGA Tour took down some of the world’s best in the first round of the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black.
Tiger Woods was in a category of his own for so long. And while this wasn’t a passing of the torch moment, the guy who was peerless for so long finally has a bona fide peer.
Set against a backdrop of rolling hills, it was the kind of site that prompts a double take as John Daly wheeled his way through the crowds on Wednesday at Bethpage Black.
Will the 2019 PGA Championship be set up more like when Bethpage Black hosted the U.S. Open or the Northern Trust?
Steve Stricker couldn’t help but be pleased with Tiger Woods’ name on the very, very early U.S. Ryder Cup points list.
