With the PGA Tour now in Florida, Tiger Woods said Tuesday that “it feels like the Masters is right around the corner.” It is just six weeks away, and Woods said he’s been thinking about his pursuit of a sixth green jacket since returning from the Presidents Cup in Australia. But most of a 30-minute

The Open Championship will return to Royal Troon for its 152nd edition in 2023, organisers announced on Monday. The tournament was last held at the links course in South Ayrshire, Scotland in 2016, when Henrik Stenson lifted the Claret Jug prize. It will be the 10th time Royal Troon has hosted the major — exactly

MEXICO CITY — The noise, at times, can be deafening, deflating. It is certainly distracting. Patrick Reed admits as much because it would be nearly impossible to say or do otherwise. And so it was that Reed had not one, but two grenades tossed his way this week in the wake of Sandy-gate in the

MEXICO CITY — Patrick Reed made it hard for anyone to question his moxie. A week that began with Brooks Koepka saying he thought Reed cheated when he was penalized for swiping sand in the Bahamas ended with Reed delivering clutch moments down the stretch Sunday to win the Mexico Championship. Then again, Reed always

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — Viktor Hovland won the Puerto Rico Open on Sunday to become the first Norwegian winner in PGA Tour history, chipping in for eagle on the par-5 15th and racing in a 30-footer for birdie on the par-5 18th for a one-stroke victory over Josh Teater. “The only or the first

MEXICO CITY — There was Jon Rahm with an ace and Rory McIlroy with a couple of 400-yard (elevation-aided) drives and Patrick Reed putting aside all the distractions. There was Bryson DeChambeau playing his best golf since emerging from the weight room a different player and Erik van Rooyen threatening to steal the title. And

MEXICO CITY — Justin Thomas started and ended his round with bogeys. He was at his best in the 16 holes between, running off eight birdies for a 6-under 65 that gave him a one-shot lead Saturday in the Mexico Championship. At this World Golf Championship, that doesn’t mean all that much going into the

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — PGA Tour rookie Viktor Hovland shot an 8-under 64 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the windy Puerto Rico Open. “Hopefully, I just continue doing what I have been doing the first three days,” Hovland said. “It would be unbelievable to have won on

MEXICO CITY — Bryson DeChambeau kept making so many birdies in the Mexico Championship that when he rolled in his ninth one from 45 feet, all he could do was throw his hands in the air in pure wonder. He wasn’t alone Friday in making birdies, although Rory McIlroy would have liked to join the

Despite a rejection from the world’s No. 1-ranked player and without having a single player formally commit to the venture, backers of the proposed Premier Golf League are forging ahead with their idea to create a world tour that would stage limited-field tournaments with massive prize money. Andy Gardiner, a London-based director at Barclays Capital,

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — PGA Tour rookie Viktor Hovland shot a 6-under 66 on Friday at windy Coco Beach for a share of the Puerto Rico Open lead.

Tiger Woods will bypass an opportunity to play near his South Florida home next week as he is skipping the Honda Classic. Woods did not enter the tournament by Friday’s deadline, deciding to skip the event in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, for the second straight year. The decision was not a surprise based on what

MEXICO CITY — Rory McIlroy switched back to his old putter for the Mexico Championship and it made a world of difference. It helps that he’s still hitting the ball like the No. 1 player in the world. McIlroy ripped a 4-iron from 275 yards into the thin air at Chapultepec to 15 feet for

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — Kyle Stanley shot an 8-under 64 on Thursday to take a two-stroke lead in the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open.

Former CBS television commentator Peter Kostis is the latest to call out Patrick Reed in the wake of a rules violation in the Bahamas, saying the golfer four times improved his lie or his line of play while Kostis witnessed it in his duties for the network. Reed was assessed a 2-shot penalty at the

MEXICO CITY — Rory McIlroy dealt a serious blow to the prospects of the proposed Premier Golf League, saying Wednesday that he is not in favor of a plan that would see the top players splitting from the PGA Tour for a guaranteed financial windfall on a rival circuit. At just 30 years old and

Patrick Reed‘s sandy rules violation in the Bahamas more than two months ago continues to garner attention. And Brooks Koepka is the latest to strongly weigh in when asked if he felt Reed cheated. “Uh, yeah. I think, yeah, yeah,” Koepka said Monday in a Sirius/XMI radio interview that covered a range of topics. “I
