While Masters champion Bubba Watson puts his feet up at the Greenbrier Resort, basking in the afterglow of his second Augusta triumph, plenty of PGA Tour professionals worked the week after the season’s first major. Watson earned his green jacket at Augusta last week. This week, however, Matt Kuchar earned himself a plaid jacket (awarded to the winner of the RBC Heritage) in Hilton Head,...

Moving day has come and gone in the 78th edition of the Masters tournament. Bubba Watson maintained his perch atop the leaderboard despite a third-round 74. He’ll enter the third round tied with 20-year-old sensation Jordan Spieth, who fired a second straight 70 on Saturday. Watson and Spieth lead Jonas Blixt and Matt Kuchar by a stroke. The duo is positioned two strokes ahead of Miguel...

The players on this list will be hoping these red flags don’t get in the way of a green jacket this week. Tiger Woods isn’t included in this breakdown of top golfers’ red flags entering the Masters, as his flag in 2014 (back issues) has indeed cost him a chance at the green jacket, and he won’t be playing in the tournament. As for the rest of the world’s best according...

This headline is something of a teaser. No celebrity golfer could even make the cut in Web.com Tour events. Remember the recent example of Jerry Rice, whose handicap was plus-.07 in 2009, according to Golf Digest? Rice shot 83, 76 to miss the cut at the Fresh Express Classic in 2010. In other words, one of the cream of the celebrity golfing crop wasn’t anywhere close to making the cut at...

We’ve passed the summer solstice, and golf’s second major of the year—with its bounty of intrigue—is behind us, as well. A few standouts on tour have been hotter than the summer sun as of late. A few others, well, not so much. Tiger Woods, for one, wishes it was still spring—when his game was in a state of rebirth and bloom. The world No. 1 (at least with putter or wedge...

The PGA Tour’s best have just completed the second major of the season, and already we have imprudent quotes (and ensuing scandals) aplenty. Really, all five quotes on this list could have come from one Sergio Garcia. During and immediately following the Players Championship, the Spaniard went on a gaffe spree spanning two continents that would have made Dan Quayle envious. However, Garcia is...

The 2013 U.S. Open was supposed to be a story about how today’s players—using today’s equipment—can overpower the classic venues of old. Instead, it became a story about how—with an assist from the USGA—a course long thought too short to host a U.S. Open can more than hold its own. Last week was an incredible one for Justin Rose, of course, as the Englishman was...

After his final-round 74 at Merion, Phil Mickelson now has a record six runner-up finishes at the U.S. Open. Think about it: Lefty is a six-time bridesmaid at the same event. That’s enough heartbreak for several careers as a professional golfer…and we haven’t even touched on the other three majors, or the rest of the events on the PGA Tour. Implosions, near-misses and chases,...

Saturday at the 113th edition of the U.S. Open began with a few questions. Which way will Phil Mickelson—who has more runner-up finishes than anyone in history at the U.S. Open—move on moving day? What will co-leader Billy Horschel—untested at the majors, but with a win on Tour this year—do? Will Tiger Woods make a charge? Will Rory McIlroy? Will Merion continue to be the ultimate...
