Dustin Johnson trudged his way to a tie for eighth at the soupy AT&T Byron Nelson this week, somehow managing to massacre his tee shots an average of 318.7 yards off the tee at a course where rollout was totally nonexistent. On the subject of massacres, a day after blitzing the makeshift par 69 with a seven-under 62, Johnson looked to be on his way to victory at 13 under par as he stepped up to...

Over the past two decades on the PGA Tour, there have been many casualties. And while it’s dumb and insensitive to use the “battlefield strewn with corpses” motif, the fairways of the PGA Tour are figuratively littered with broken dreams and literally no longer walked by some once-promising players. In some cases, names that were once at the top of leaderboards are...

We’ve arrived at the final leg of the PGA Tour’s Texas Swing: the AT&T Byron Nelson from TPC Four Seasons Resort in Irving, Texas. Last week’s Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial came to a rolling boil Sunday afternoon in a wild couple of hours when it looked like seemingly 10 different golfers were going to win the tournament. The victor, Chris Kirk, isn’t...

What distinguishes the PGA Tour’s best pros to follow on social media? It’s more than just the number of followers. For example, the bland and corporate Tiger Woods Twitter account has 4.46 million followers but isn’t worth paying attention to. Woods’ self-serving tweets come in biweekly and are largely commercial efforts. Likewise, Rory McIlroy doesn’t deliver the...

Unlike last week’s Wells Fargo Championship, which was a two-horse race down the stretch, the 2015 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial was anybody’s game late Sunday. On greens that were receptive to say the least, players had the opportunity to attack Colonial Country Club. And attack they did. Ultimately, Chris Kirk poked his head out of a scrum that saw 25 players within...

Look at the winners and top finishers on the PGA Tour this season, and you’ll see a few surprises. Sure, it was unexpected to seek Nick Taylor and Padraig Harrington win golf tournaments. However, the two aren’t really “surprise contenders,” as they’ve done absolutely nothing since their victories. You may be surprised that Rickie Fowler stepped up to take home The...

Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, is the host of this week’s PGA Tour event, the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. We’ve been treated to two exceptional weeks of drama on tour, first with Rickie Fowler’s playoff win at The Players Championship and then with Rory McIlroy‘s romp at the Wells Fargo Championship. The state of professional golf looks pretty good...

As the PGA Tour heads to Fort Worth, Texas, for the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, 124 of the PGA Tour’s best are preparing to put a peg in the ground. No golfer in the game is hotter than Rory McIlroy right now; however, he’s playing the European Tour’s BMW PGA Championship this week, so he doesn’t make this list. Fear not, however. There are plenty of en...

Any exploration of the relative winners and losers from the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow begins with one name: Rory McIlroy. The 26-year-old Ulsterman bettered his fellow competitors by seven strokes in shades of the 2012 PGA Championship and the 2011 U.S. Open when he won by eight strokes. He established both a new course record (61) and tournament scoring record (267). McIlroy...

Here’s an obvious statement: At a traditional PGA Tour event, every golfer in the 144-man field wants to win. Shocking, right? Some golfers, however, could really use a victory. For example, two gentlemen desperately in need have earned Ws on tour recently: Jim Furyk, who ended a sustained victory drought at the RBC Heritage, and Rickie Fowler, who claimed his second tour victory...
