Jordan Spieth, Jim Furyk and Others Challenge Martin Kaymer at the Players

“Anyone in the field can shoot nine-under, 10-under par, what I’ve done yesterday,” Martin Kaymer said after putting up a 12-under par total. “It’s still very open.”  While 10-under is unlikely and nine-under is rare, he’s right to take that approach. Yesterday’s score is yesterday’s score, and there are plenty of golfers doing their best to... 

Kaymer Shoots Course Record 63 to Take Players Lead

Martin Kaymer, who has been more or less missing in action since sinking the winning Ryder Cup putt in 2012, blasted his way to the top of the field by firing a course-record-tying 63 at TPC Sawgrass. That is not an easy number to post, but it’s particularly hard at a Pete Dye golf course with an island green guarded by an alligator. Martin Kaymer’s secret was that he stopped thinking.... 

Bubba Watson and J.B. Holmes Both Learn from Recent Victories

Masters Champion Bubba Watson and Wells Fargo champ J.B. Holmes both learned from their recent victories, and the lessons are not dissimilar. Watson, who was somewhat overwhelmed by the demands of the public after his 2012 Masters victory, has learned perspective. “I didn’t all like the attention before. Now I think I’m just prepared for it,” he said Tuesday at The Players,... 

Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass Adds 3-Hole Playoff

The par-three 17th hole at the TPC Sawgrass, home of alligators and nightmares, has played a starring role at The Players since 1982. That’s when the TPC Sawgrass was introduced to an unsuspecting world and shocked PGA Tour players by being a lot of unprintable expletives. Now the 17th is no longer the star. It is part of a threesome, joining the par-five 16th and the par-four 18th... 

Pinehurst: Small Targets, No Rough, Same Clubs for Men and Women at U.S. Opens

Pinehurst No. 2 has been remodeled, but it was not as much to do with the U.S. Open being held there in June as it was to do with making the course look more like the day it first opened. It will look more natural and less like the wall-to-wall green that we are accustomed to seeing on golf courses. That doesn’t necessarily mean easier. By embracing this approach, which was taken by the resort,... 

Is Golf Entering a New Era with No Tiger, No Phil, Some Bubba, a Pinch of Rory?

Every 10 or 15 years, the Great Golf Rotation happens. The Hogan/Nelson/Snead Epoch evolved into The Arnie Era. That begot The Big Three—Arnie, Jack and Gary. Pretty soon, they were cast aside for Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Seve Ballesteros and a cast that included Ben Crenshaw, Raymond Floyd, Lanny Wadkins and Hale Irwin. A few years later, it was move over, boys, for The Shark. He was shoved... 

World Golf Hall of Fame Changes Criteria: Harder for Men, Easier for Women

The World Golf Hall of Fame has modified the criteria for potential induction. There are a number of changes to the process and to the categories. To be nominated and elected, a golfer now has to get approval of 75 percent of the new Selection Committee, a panel of 16 co-chaired by Nancy Lopez, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Annika Sorenstam. Anyone qualified on the basis of the new criteria will need... 

Adam Scott Still on Top as Bradley and Upstarts Challenge at Arnold Palmer Event

Breezes swirled and puffy cumulus clouds sailed overhead providing occasional shade for the sandaled, sunburned, shorts-wearing galleries at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The wind that kept spectators comfortable was just strong enough to be a challenge for the world’s best golfers. At the lake circled by the third and sixth holes, the breeze had a split personality. It was coming from the... 

Adam Scott Proves Hard to Catch; Ryo Ishikawa Gets Residence in Orlando

Adam Scott, fresh off his course-record-tying 62 in the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, played, well, Tiger-like. He put more space between himself and the rest of the international field by firing a 68 with a bogey on the final hole for a seven-shot lead headed into the weekend. “It was a pretty good way to back up a low round,” Scott said. “It’s not easy to... 

Arnold Palmer and Golf Channel Doctor Have Opinion on Tiger Woods’ Back

Talk about a coincidence. The day after Tiger Woods called Arnold Palmer to explain he would not be able to compete at the Arnold Palmer Invitational due to his lingering back injury, Palmer revealed that he also has back problems and is going to have a procedure after The Masters. “We called it a hip problem,” Palmer said. “I’ve been through more physical exams and MRIs for...
