The U.S. Open begins next week, and when players take the court in New York, they will be fighting for superiority in the final major of the calendar year. The majors have belonged to the triumvirate of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray for the majority of the last several seasons. While Djokovic and Murray are again at the top of the favorite lists—Federer is out as he recovers from...

Sunday figures to be a long day at the PGA Championship at the Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey. After the majority of the field was unable to play Saturday because of rain, most players will try to play 36 holes Sunday in an attempt to determine the winner of the last major event of the golf season. However, it may not be a matter of players muscling up and playing two full rounds Sunday....

The PGA Championship set up nicely after the first two rounds with Robert Streb and Jimmy Walker tied for the lead at nine under par and defending champion Jason Day trailing by just two strokes. It seemed Moving Day at the final major of the season would be quite dramatic. However, the weather chose not to cooperate Saturday, as only 37 of the 86 players who made the cut were able to finish their...

The big boys are charging in the PGA Championship. That doesn’t mean second-round co-leaders Robert Streb and Jimmy Walker aren’t going to hold on to their position on Saturday and sleep on the lead going into the final round, but there is no reason for either player to feel comfortable. That’s because Jason Day and Jordan Spieth are charging. Streb and Walker both have scores of...

Going into the first round of the PGA Championship, it appeared likely that U.S. Open winner Dustin Johnson and two-time PGA champion Rory McIlroy would have a chance to dominate the leaderboard. That’s not very likely after 18 holes, as Johnson blew up with a 77 and McIlroy struggled to a 74. However, Jimmy Walker was more than happy to take up the slack as he raced out to a first-round lead...

The PGA Championship may give Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson each the opportunity to put their signature on the current golf year. Johnson won the U.S. Open by overcoming personal demons, hitting long, straight drives and knocking in birdie putts to get the best of the field at Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Stenson was even better in taking the British Open, firing a final round of 63 to get the best of...

If the last major of the golf season is able to come close to matching what happened in the British Open earlier this month, fans will witness a tournament to remember. Henrik Stenson fired a remarkable 63 in the final round to win that tournament, and that score came three days after Phil Mickelson opened it with a 63 of his own. The golfers may not be able to go quite so low on the long and difficult...

Is Dustin Johnson about to claim the 2016 golf season as his own personal domain? It appears he will have the inside track if he can win his second major when the golfing world descends on the Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, for the PGA Championship. Johnson was spectacular in winning the U.S. Open at Oakmont in June and has had an excellent year. He ranks first on the PGA tour in FedEx...

The inclusion of golf in the 2016 Olympics has resulted in a peculiar twist to this year’s schedule. Instead of being played in August, as it is in most years, the PGA Championship will start Thursday and come to its conclusion Sunday (unless weather impacts the tournament). It’s interesting to note the sport’s Big Three have been shut out at this year’s majors. Top-rated Jason...

The wind and rain came down during the second round of the British Open at Royal Troon, as expected, but the weather was a bigger factor later in the day than it was in the morning Friday. Since Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson played early in the day, they were able to take advantage of the conditions on the Scottish course and secure the top two spots on the leaderboard: Mickelson followed up his...
