The FedEx Cup Playoffs are over, Viktor Hovland is your Tour King for the year, and now we look ahead to the Ryder Cup, the new fall stretch, and what lies ahead in 2024. Before we do, it’s worth one last backward look at the season that was, and a deep dive into the stats.

ANDREWS, Scotland — In the run-up to any team contest, a few sporting metaphors invariably spring to mind when it comes to the various decisions, behavior and carefully considered comments required of the two captains. “Jockeying for position” comes to mind. So does “shadow boxing.” And, from cricket, “playing a straight bat.” Still, after all

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Neal Shipley sat in the sun in a wooden captain’s chair outside the Ohio State University’s golf learning center at OSU Golf Club Thursday afternoon, and although the day was perfect—clear skies and temperatures in the high 70s—the new star of the Buckeyes golf team had no plans to play.

You may have heard this before in a golf context. Walker Cups, like every other golf competition, are played on grass and not, as the tired old cliché has it, on paper. Which is perhaps just as well for the 10-man Great Britain & Ireland side that this weekend will attempt to wrestle the trophy

Associated Press Aug 31, 2023, 05:10 PM ET TRUCKEE, Calif. — Todd White took the lead with a birdie on the par-5 seventh hole and never trailed the rest of the way in a 4-and-3 victory over Joey Flanagan of Ireland to win the U.S. Senior Amateur on Thursday for his second USGA title. Flanagan

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — As ever at such things, the opening press conferences two days before the 49th Walker Cup begins between the U.S. and Great Britain & Ireland consisted of mostly innocuous answers to generally predictable questions.

Outside of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, it’s likely no current golfer has reached the heights of popularity that Rickie Fowler has.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — With two mostly full days of practice still to come, the United States Walker Cup team’s preparations for this weekend’s competition over the Old Course at St. Andrews were of the low-key variety Wednesday at the Home of Golf.
