Justin Thomas would be the first to tell you that he wasn’t good enough this past PGA Tour season. But, like any world-class player, he’d also be the first to tell you that he wasn’t nearly as far off as fans and media made it seem. Sometimes, when that’s the case, all it takes is

The six-time winner and major champion ended the PGA Tour’s regular season at No. 124 in FedEx Cup standings, which has traditionally been just enough to keep playing privileges for the next season. That, however, is not the case

It turns out that holding a 5-up lead is not as easy as it seems. That’s the margin Stewart Hagestad held over Evan Beck on Thursday after the first 18 holes of the U.S. Mid-Amateur at famed Sleepy Hollow in New York. There were weather delays all week and rather than continuing with momentum from

ESPN News Services Sep 14, 2023, 03:14 PM ET Dustin Johnson said he would have been selected to this year’s United States Ryder Cup team had he not defected to LIV Golf.
