Parity Is Prevailing in Golf as 1st-Timers Sweep the 2016 Majors

As Jimmy Walker maintained nerves of steel while winning the PGA Championship on Sunday, there was one history-in-the-making point the CBS crew kept referencing: If Walker hung on, it would mean all of golf’s majors in 2016 were claimed by first-time winners. At first glance, that might seem like no more than a fun piece of trivia. But it’s also a testament to how golf’s marquee is steadily adding new names. After all, when we were gearing up to watch the Masters back in April, who would have thought the majors could go a full year without at least one victory from the Big Three... 

How Steady Jimmy Walker Went Wire-to-Wire at the 2016 PGA Championship

Forget space.  As far as golf goes, Jimmy Walker has conquered the final frontier. A late bloomer and aerospace nut who didn’t win his first PGA Tour event until three years ago at age 34, Walker held off a blistering rally from defending champion Jason Day on Sunday to claim the 98th PGA Championship, his first major title. Walker, a hobbyist who uses his telescope to stare thousands of miles into space for fun, thankfully had his feet on terra firma when it mattered most, making huge putts from nine and three feet on the last two greens to beat Day by a shot at 14 under. There...

Finally, the PGA Championship has a winner who is an astrophotographer! Leading off with a bonus takeaway from soggy Baltusrol, Jimmy Walker, who showed steely resolve over 36 holes Sunday en route to a closing-nine three-under 33 and 14-under winning total, is an avid space photographer.  Seriously, he uses a telescope to take pictures of the galaxy. And if the resultant photos don’t fill you with wonder and awe, well, you’re probably a zombie.  That is, interestingly, exactly what Dustin Johnson looked like over 36 uninspired holes at Baltusrol’s famed Lower Course.  We’ve...

PGA Championship 2016: Biggest Winners and Losers from Baltusrol

The 2016 PGA Championship has come and gone, and with it another season of major tournament golf. Jimmy Walker, a quality PGA Tour player who’d never gotten appreciably close to a win in one of the four spotlight tournaments, finally broke through to the big time Sunday evening with a one-shot defeat of defending PGA champ Jason Day. Walker had a three-shot lead after he birdied No. 17, but he was forced to sweat things out after Day eagled No. 18 to get within one. Walker hit his approach to the par-five 18th into the rough alongside the green but then safely chipped to the putting surface... 

Jordan Spieth at PGA Championship 2016: Sunday Leaderboard Score and Reaction

It’s official: Jordan Spieth has failed to win a major championship in the 2016 PGA season. Spieth carded a two-under 68 in Sunday’s fourth round at the 2016 PGA Championship.

The 23-year-old Texan entered Sunday with 35 holes to play. Rain cut his third round short Saturday after just one hole, leaving him with an early wake-up call for a long day of golf at Baltusrol Golf Club. Spieth,...
