VIRGINA WATER, England — It doesn’t necessarily mean anything with as many as 12 days to go before a meaningful ball is struck at the Marco Simone Country Club in the 44th Ryder Cup. Then again, it might just mean a lot. Whatever, the facts are, collectively and mostly individually, that the 12 men who

Associated Press Sep 16, 2023, 02:37 PM ET VIRGINIA WATER, England — Ludvig Aberg of Sweden closed in on his second straight victory on Saturday when he posted a 6-under 66 at Wentworth for a two-shot lead over Connor Syme and Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood in the BMW PGA Championship. Aberg, in only his

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

Associated Press Sep 16, 2023, 11:31 PM ET NAPA, Calif. — Justin Thomas continued up the leaderboard Saturday at the Fortinet Championship with a 7-under 65 that matched the best score of the day and moved the former No. 1 player within two shots of leader Sahith Theegala. Theegala, in search of his first PGA

Jimmy Walker is not a fan of the new FedEx Fall, and that’s putting it mildly. 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

Sep 16, 2023, 07:25 AM ET Gareth Bale‘s love for golf has been well-documented and the former Real Madrid and Wales forward has swapped the pitch for the green after becoming a playable character in the PGA Tour 2K23 video game. Bale, 34, made his PGA Tour debut at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February

After what Justin Thomas described on Wednesday as being a “brutal” couple months leading into the U.S. Ryder Cup team being finalized, the two-time major champ can sleep even easier on Friday night. So can Zach Johnson. The American captain has faced plenty of questions about this particular personnel choice heading into the biennial event

Associated Press Sep 15, 2023, 10:22 PM ET NAPA. Calif. — Justin Thomas committed to a driver change, tinkered a little with his swing and got immediate results with a 5-under 67 that left him four strokes off the pace Friday in the Fortinet Championship. It was exactly what the former top-ranked player needed after

The answer was simple, even if the question wasn’t necessarily welcomed. Sahith Theegala leads by two shots after the second round of the Fortinet Championship, shooting a 64 Friday at Silverado that included a bunker hole out for eagle. He finished the season 31st in the FedEx Cup standings, just one spot out of qualifying

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. Johnson, a two-time major champion, instead finds himself a spectator despite being a part of five previous American teams. The Ryder Cup will

VIRGINIA WATER, England — Yes, Adrian Meronk is still upset, which is fair enough, given the level of disappointment he has experienced recently. Eleven days from hearing he was not going to be part of the European Ryder Cup team later this month, the 30-year-old from Poland is riding a wave of sympathy from all

Take the accomplishments of the man who is leading and couple it with the score that he’s leading by and it appears that the winner of the U.S. Mid-Amateur is going to be someone with which the golf world is familiar. A third trip down Magnolia Lane next April doesn’t seem too far away either.

Associated Press Sep 14, 2023, 11:11 PM ET NAPA, Calif. — Justin Thomas scuffled through an uneven afternoon with a 3-under 69 in his return to the PGA Tour following a lengthy layoff, leaving him six shots off the lead Thursday in the first round of the Fortinet Championship. Thomas, the former No. 1 player

It was Lucas Herbert’s first competitive start in two months and an impressive one at that, making 144 feet of putts en route to an opening 63 at the Fortinet Championship. But after his round Herbert’s score became secondary when the Aussie described what spurred the mini-sabbatical. Herbert, speaking to the media Thursday at Silverado

Associated Press Sep 13, 2023, 04:15 PM ET WASHINGTON — The chairman of a Senate investigations subcommittee issued a subpoena Wednesday for documents on Saudi Arabia’s new golf partnership with the PGA Tour, saying the kingdom had to be more transparent about what he said was its $35 billion in investments in the United States.

VIRGINIA WATER, England — Given his fair complexion, Sepp Straka would never pass a Hollywood audition for the part of “tall dark stranger.” But there is no doubt the 30-year-old Austrian is, at least within the team room, the least known member of the European Ryder Cup side that will attempt to wrestle the trophy

The United States Senate has issued a subpoena to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund’s U.S. subsidiary in wake of PIF’s planned partnership with the PGA Tour. The announcement was made an hour before Wednesday’s public hearing by the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is expected to focus on PIF’s investments in the United States.
