After several months of debate and discussion, golf’s governing body, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, as well as the United States Golf Association, have decided that the practice of anchoring a club will officially be banned starting Jan. 1, 2016. According to Bob Harig of ESPN.com, the rule change was first proposed on Nov. 28, 2012, but a 90-day grace period was allowed...

While last week’s Players Championship should have been all about Tiger Woods‘ fourth victory of the young PGA Tour season, it has become about Woods’ feud with Sergio Garcia more than anything. Even more information came to light Wednesday, and it may very well exonerate Tiger from any wrongdoing. Woods and Garcia have had a contentious relationship for quite some time, but things...

Sergio Garcia’s complaint regarding Tiger Woods distracting him during the third round of last week’s Players Championship may have been an even bigger story than Woods actually winning the tournament. Now it seems as though Garcia may have been justified. According to Michael Bamberger of Sports Illustrated, during Garcia’s backswing on the second hole of the third round,...

It’s possible that even the biggest golf fan hadn’t heard of the No. 229-ranked player in the world, Chris Stroud. But after his incredible hole-in-one at The Players Championship, observers are taking notice. Stroud managed to ace the difficult par-three No. 13 during Saturday’s third round at TPC Sawgrass.

After winning the PGA Championship last year to become a two-time major winner at the age of 23, it seemed like the sky was the limit for Rory McIlroy. That still may be the case, but the Northern Irishman’s failure to play with confidence will prevent him from adding to that total in 2013. McIlroy ascended to the No. 1 ranking in the world last year by virtue of that PGA Championship victory...

Officiating a sport with as many rules as golf certainly can’t be an easy job, but the manner in which Masters officials handled Tiger Woods‘ illegal drop on the 15th hole during Friday’s second round is reprehensible and unacceptable. Woods was playing great golf on Friday prior to the 15th hole, as he was tied for the lead and en route to improving upon that lead. Woods’ approach...

With the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island at the midway point, the contenders have certainly begun to distance themselves from the rest of the field. Many of the top players in the game are near the top of the leaderboard, but there are some dark horses who could do damage as well, so there are plenty of reasons to tune in. Golf fanatics will be able to catch a great deal of the weekend action on...

As was often the case during his run of dominance, there is no hotter player in golf right now than Tiger Woods. Although a rocky third round at the U.S. Open knocked him out of contention, Woods has won two of the past three tournaments he has entered, including the AT&T National this past week, and he will try to win another heading into the Open Championship. This week, Woods and many of the...

After the difficult Olympic Club chewed up and spit out many of the world’s top golfers at the U.S. Open, most probably figured that they would get a bit of a reprieve moving forward. That certainly isn’t the case at the AT&T National in Bethesda, Md., however. The Congressional Country Club is playing very much like a U.S. Open course, and it shows in the scores. Bo Van Pelt surged...

With the second round of the Travelers Championship being suspended due to inclement weather on Friday, the leaderboard is a bit of a mess right now with some players still having to play the bulk of their second round while others have already finished. With that said, it is tough to determine which players are contenders and which aren’t at this point. Many of the players near the top of the...
