The late Arnold Palmer inspired a new collegiate event at Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Yes, it really happened that way. And the match will carry the Nicklaus name, to boot. After serving as co-captain of the U.S. team in the 2018 Arnold Palmer Cup in France, Therese Hession, then the

7:25 PM ET Paul Azinger‘s history with the Ryder Cup goes back more than 30 years, and it’s hard to find anyone more passionate about the competition, even now in his role as a broadcaster. So the 2008 U.S. Ryder Cup captain didn’t hold back Wednesday when asked about Brooks Koepka, who disclosed in a

With so many golfers on the PGA Tour—particularly a lot of new names this season from the Korn Ferry Tour—making decisions for your betting card or fantasy lineup each week can be really difficult. The process gets much easier, however, when you know how to identify a golfer who’s on the verge of success. History

The captain’s picks have all been made for the 2021 Ryder Cup, but one former captain was pretty vocal on Wednesday about a potential personnel change. Paul Azinger weighed in on comments Brooks Koepka made about the biennial event in a recent interview with Golf Digest. In the interview, Koepka talked about the challenges—both on

8:15 AM ET Golf never really ends, it just takes a brief break. This year, it’s a grand total of one week. The actual number of days between PGA Tour events will be 11. Before the 2021-22 seasons begins on Thursday in Northern California, a look back at the 2020-21 “super season” that saw 50

Well … we’re back. Less than two weeks after Patrick Cantlay wrapped up the FedEx Cup Playoffs at East Lake and days after he took home the Player of the Year Award, the PGA Tour returns with the Fortinet Championship, the first tournament of 2021-22 tour season. The big name in the field at Silverado

1:29 PM ET Associated Press PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Will Zalatoris has been voted PGA Tour rookie of the year, the first player in 20 years to receive the award without being a full PGA Tour member. Zalatoris played well enough on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020 to earn a spot in the

Remove Jon Rahm from the equation, and there is exactly one other player in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking in the 2021 Fortinet Championship field. It makes sense, then, that Rahm, the clear-cut No. 1 player in the world in name and game right now, is a massive favorite to win.

I’ve received only one death threat in my career. As it goes, working in golf involves a lot of pleasant interaction with folks in collared shirts who are happy to meet you. But back in 2009, leading up to the second U.S. Open at Bethpage, I went undercover to investigate a shifty concierge service that

9:02 AM ET Associated Press Patrick Cantlay was voted PGA Tour player of the year on the strength of his four victories, including a 1-shot advantage at East Lake that made him the FedEx Cup champion. Tuesday’s announcement was another big step for Cantlay, a 29-year-old Californian who went from being the No. 1 amateur

Through three days at the 2021 BMW PGA Championship, Francesco Laporta could do no wrong. The 30-year-old Italian shot rounds of 68-65-69 to grab the 54-hole lead at Wentworth, where he was in position to win his first European Tour title. But on Sunday it was an errant shot that wound up defining his week—and

9:08 PM ET PHOENIX — Amy Bockerstette will be taking her talents to the national stage next year. Bockerstette, who has Down syndrome, was one of five golfers selected for the 2022 Special Olympics USA Games, which will be held next June at the Orange County National Golf Center in Orlando, Florida. PGA Tour golfer

With the Ryder Cup on the horizon and the opportunity for a second straight off week following a crazy closing stretch to the 2020-’21 season, you’d think Jon Rahm would be taking it easy this week. Unfortunately for the rest of the field at the 2021-’22 PGA Tour season opener, the 2021 Fortinet Championship, that

Will Zalatoris began the 2020-21 season without PGA Tour status and finished it as the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. The tour made it official on Monday, but the 25-year-old was an overwhelming favorite to win the award for two reasons. First, there simply weren’t many candidates—due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Korn Ferry

2:52 PM ET Ryder Cup veterans Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter were added to Europe’s Ryder Cup team by captain Padraig Harrington on Sunday, along with rookie Shane Lowry — the 2019 Open champion. The final round of the European Tour’s flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship outside of London, saw the nine automatic qualifiers

You can forgive newly crowned BMW PGA champion Billy Horschel if this all feels awkwardly familiar. In 2012, the fast-talking Florida native didn’t hear his name listed when captain Davis Love III revealed the American Ryder Cup team he’d be taking to Medinah. Horschel then proceeded to win the Tour Championship at East Lake, after

7:13 PM ET Associated Press ST. LOUIS — David Toms beat Dicky Pride with a par on the first hole of a playoff Sunday in the PGA Tour Champions’ inaugural Ascension Charity Classic. Toms hit his approach in the playoff on the par-4 18th to the middle of the green and two-putted from 18 feet.

A golf course with a pedigree that almost demands a quality winner received one in the PGA Tour Champions’ inaugural Ascension Charity Classic on Sunday, when a man with a PGA Championship and a U.S. Senior Open on his résumé prevailed. David Toms, whose 13 PGA Tour victories include a PGA in 2001, defeated Dicky
