Surely by now you’ve seen the full-on horror show video of Tiger Woods rinsing three shots from 100 yards at Congressional earlier this month. If somehow morbid curiosity hasn’t gotten the better of you yet, you can watch at the Daily Mail (viewer discretion advised). And now, time to insert the obligatory reminder that Tiger Woods hasn’t competed in a PGA Tour event since last August, when he showed signs of life before ultimately faltering at the Wyndham Championship in a failed bid to book passage into the FedEx Cup Playoffs. The 14-time major winner then had a pair of...

Rory McIlroy captured his first win of the year at the Irish Open this past weekend, winning by three shots at 12 under, but his play on the course wasn’t the only thing that had fans applauding. In fact, the win wasn’t on his mind during his post-tournament interview. All he could think about was his foundation. The Rory Foundation hosted the tournament, with the proceeds from the tickets going to the charity. McIlroy took it a step further by donating his winnings—666,000 euros (nearly $750,000)—to the charity. According to the foundation’s website, the goal...

He carded just two birdies against six bogeys, struggling throughout the day with poor drives and inconsistent putting. Sergio Garcia carded a two-under 68 to win the tournament, defeating Brooks Koepka in a playoff. Garcia was 15 under...
