Players lit up a rain-softened Whistling Straits on Saturday, and the jubilant gentleman you see above is at the top of the heap entering the final round.

The second round of the PGA Championship ended a little sooner than expected, forcing, among other things, the rewriting of the headline to this piece to read “Saturday,” rather than “Moving Day.” The latter, of course, connotes the third round, which will be played Saturday, but so will the conclusion of the second round, thanks to a cell of bad weather that swept through Sheboygan,...

We know who the favorites for the 2015 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits are: Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson and Justin Rose. Jordan Spieth‘s pair of major triumphs and Zach Johnson’s win at St. Andrews may suggest that you needn’t look beyond the favorites to pick a winner.

The WGC-Bridgestone Invitational is in the books. And from among a throng of the best golfers from across the globe, an Irishman raised the Greek-inspired trophy you see above. Shane Lowry, beneficiary of the luck of the Irish, fired a final-round, four-under 66 for his maiden PGA Tour victory.

We’re rapidly moving toward the final major of the year with the PGA Championship just two weeks away. Players will be looking for positioning as well as a big-time cash grab at this week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. The tournament, which Tiger Woods has dominated in the WGC era, will be without the Striped One, as he failed to qualify. The field does feature the top 70 golfers...

Troy Merritt overcame a terrible Sunday shirt to fire a final-round 67, capturing the first win of his PGA Tour career. The Iowa native followed up a spectacular Saturday 61 in steely fashion to top Rickie Fowler by three strokes at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. Merritt, who lists “spending times with family and friends” as his only interest in the PGA Tour Media Guide, is the...

On the heels of Zach Johnson’s major triumph at the Home of Golf, it’s fitting to ask a couple of questions. One is: Who will be the next American to win a major? Tiger Woods? Phil Mickelson? Bubba Watson? Jordan Spieth? Perhaps a more entertaining question, though, is this: Who will be the next American to win his first major? Looking at the roster of the best golfers in the...

Thanks to points reshuffles, a complex scoring system and increased point totals during the playoffs, the FedEx Cup is (by design) a wide-open race until the Tour Championship, where every player in the 30-man field theoretically ought to have a chance to win the Cup. An example: Few predicted Billy Horschel, who had done little all year,...
