It’s a tradition unlike any other—the Masters. Every spring the happenings at Augusta are highly anticipated, but 2016’s iteration is can’t-miss TV. History is within reach for 20-somethings. One can cement a legacy by joining an exclusive career fraternity, while another can become the first repeat winner in 14 years. And if those two aren’t good enough, there’s...

Tiger Woods. PGA Tour player. Given a career resume that makes him a mandatory part of chats about the game’s all-time greats, even suggesting such a label seems blasphemous. After all, he has 79 tour victories and 14 major championships. The Associated Press deemed him the “Athlete of the Decade” for the first 10 years of the millennium. He’ll be the player today’s...

Unless you’re a dyed-in-the-wool contrarian, Saturday afternoon was pure nostalgic bliss. A soon-to-be 40-year-old Tiger Woods was prowling the tee boxes, attacking the flag sticks and inspiring the sort of gleeful gallery reactions that only a 14-time major champ can prompt. And thanks to the third-round 68 he fired at the Wyndham Championship after reaching the weekend with a 64 and 65, he’ll...

If you hadn’t known better, it might have been difficult to tell them apart. Though Sunday playing partner Jordan Spieth was the one with two big trophies and “he’s the next Tiger” hyperbole, it was Jason Day who looked every bit the final-round superstar. And if the 22-year-old Spieth and 26-year-old Rory McIlroy are this generation’s Tiger 2.0s, perhaps Day, at 27, is...

Not everyone is Jordan Spieth or Tiger Woods. While those two broke out at Augusta as 21-year-olds and were multiple winners soon after, it takes most of the other guys a little bit longer to become established as major commodities. So, toward that end, perhaps it’s better to liken Jason Day to Phil Mickelson. Though Lefty turned pro with a tour win already under his belt, it took a while—12...

OK, Rory McIlroy, it’s officially on you. While the Northern Irishman already has four major trophies on his mantel—including two of the last three PGA Championship trinkets—at the age of 26, the responsibility for kick-starting golf’s latest super rivalry has nevertheless become his. Or, at least until further notice. Such is life in a world suddenly owned by Jordan Spieth....

Admit it—now you wish he’d won the British Open too. Though dual 2015 major winner Jordan Spieth‘s mere presence for the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin, ensures maximum hyperbole compared to most years, it’s a far cry from how things might have looked had the Masters Tournament and U.S. Open winner made it three straight last month in Scotland...

It’s the new Tiger Woods normal. Rather than making headlines for winning or contending at PGA Tour events, the 14-time major champion’s future these days becomes fodder for diagnosis after nearly every swing he takes. A 17th-place tie at the Masters set optimistic wheels spinning in April, before an ugly round of 85 at the Memorial and an equally unsightly 80 at the U.S. Open prompted...

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re halfway home. Well, almost halfway. Friday weather woes at the 2015 British Open, taking place in St. Andrews, Scotland, not only wreaked havoc on the scheduled second round of play, but they also could have a rippling impact on the remainder of the tournament. Several players with afternoon tee times Friday were unable to complete their rounds before darkness...

It was a first-timer’s weekend at the Greenbrier Classic. A pair of non-winners on the PGA Tour, South Korea’s Danny Lee and Canada’s David Hearn, reached the second hole of Sunday’s sudden-death playoff with a chance to break through. Lee produced. The 24-year-old sank a short putt on the 17th green to complete a scrambling par to better Hearn, who was unable to recover from...
