AUSTIN — It can be difficult to ask a golfer if he’s “sad” about something, which is why it was so nice that Jon Rahm said it first. “It’s too bad that this is the last edition of this tournament,” the World No. 2 said on Tuesday. “I obviously love match play, so I’m hoping

5:00 PM ET If you had Kansas, Arizona, Marquette or Purdue in the Final Four and have already lost interest in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the PGA Tour is offering another bracket to keep you occupied this week. The final iteration of the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play is being played at Austin

Know this first about teenager Anna Davis when she talks about what seemed like an out-of-nowhere victory in last year’s Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Before her win, the San Diego native had little knowledge of Masters history or the revered challenges and subtleties of Augusta National Golf Club. Her dad has said her only exposure

1:27 PM ET Associated Press ST. FRANCIS BAY, South Africa — Matthew Baldwin claimed his first title on the European tour in style Sunday by storming to a seven-shot victory at the SDC Championship in South Africa. Baldwin finished with a 4-under 68 on the St. Francis Links course for 18 under overall as his

It’s been a struggle of late for Bryson DeChambeau on the golf course as he tries to find the once stellar form that made him a behemoth on the PGA Tour. Since jumping to the LIV Golf League last summer, the former U.S. Open champion has played in 10 individual events but finished no better

So what if your bracket is busted. The real madness in March is happening this week on the PGA Tour. The 2023 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play pairings were announced Monday morning and though the reveal lacks the gravitas of college basketball’s selection show, the drama that lies ahead does not disappoint. Austin Country Club, hosting

7:10 PM ET Associated Press PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Taylor Moore delivered the clutch shots to move into contention, closed with a 4-under 67 and won the Valspar Championship on Sunday when he avoided the mistakes that cost Jordan Spieth and Adam Schenk. In only his second year on the PGA Tour, the 29-year-old who

One of the longest and most successful player-caddie relationships on the PGA Tour has officially come to an end. Even more surprising is which bag that caddie will have next. Webb Simpson announced on Monday that he and longtime looper Paul Tesori are parting ways. And if that wasn’t surprising enough, the seven-time PGA Tour

7:58 PM ET Associated Press MARANA, Ariz. — Danny Lee birdied his final two holes for a 2-under 69 and then won LIV Golf Tucson on the second hole of a four-man playoff on Sunday by making a 25-foot birdie putt from off the 18th green for his first win in nearly eight years. It

There are times when the narrative of a golf tournament is too enchanting to not end with the fundamental storybook finish, one that is satisfying to both the man who achieved it and those who watched it happen. The Valspar Championship was just that kind of tournament. Until it wasn’t. Anyone who followed Sunday’s final

Danny Lee thought he was done with winning. The New Zealander had played 11 seasons on the PGA Tour, keeping his card in nine while battling injuries. He never fulfilled the potential he promised when, in a 12-month span, he overcame Tiger Woods’ record as the youngest winner of the U.S. Amateur (in 2008) and

8:32 PM ET Associated Press NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Ernie Els kept making birdies no matter how he gripped the putter Sunday, and it carried him to a 6-under 65 to win the Hoag Classic and deny Bernhard Langer a chance at setting the career victory mark on the PGA Tour Champions. Els started the

Season 2, Episode 2 of the LIV Golf League takes place this weekend at The Gallery Golf Club in Tucson with the usual pomp and circumstance we’ve got to expect from the upstart Saudi-backed circuit. The field in the no-cut 54-hole event is the customary 48 players. And the prize money payout continues to be

7:37 PM ET Associated Press MARANA, Ariz. — Marc Leishman opened with an eagle and held it together in the middle of his round for a 5-under 66 on Saturday, giving him a two-shot lead over Sergio Garcia going into the third and final round of LIV Golf Tucson. Leishman said he had fallen into

The quirky tradition at Valspar Championship of players and caddies creating their own names and phrases on the back of the looper bibs is well-documented. We had a post earlier this week about Max McGreevy brilliantly roasting himself with “Mr. 89” after he shot 89 in the second round of last week’s Players Championship. Another

If this year’s Valspar Championship is a harbinger of what non-designated events will be like on the PGA Tour, we have three words: Sign. Us. Up. With a cramped leaderboard that includes enough players with a life-changing opportunity, a course stubborn enough to make par matter (at a not-obscene 7,340 yards), and enough star power

7:56 PM ET Associated Press PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Adam Schenk looked as though he and everyone else would get passed by Jordan Spieth on Saturday at the Valspar Championship. When a wild and windy round finished, Schenk was still the player everyone was chasing. Schenk hit his approach to the 18th hole to 5
