Preview and Prediction of 2016 Olympic Golf Tournament from Rio De Janeiro

After a 112-year absence, professional golf returns to the Olympics this year. And with the drama of the flow of golfers withdrawing from the competition now behind us, we can focus on the actual golf tournament, which runs from Thursday through Sunday, just like a standard PGA Tour event.  The players who made the trip to Rio are getting excited. Anirban Lahiri of India said the following, per... 

Ranking the Top 20 Golfers Ahead of the 2016 Olympics in Rio

Not a part of the Olympics since 1904, when George Lyon claimed the gold medal for Canada (as you’ve surely heard more times than you care to by now), golf makes its return with a four-round stroke-play tournament in Rio. In ranking the field, we don’t know how the Gil Hanse-designed par-71 course will play, so a “horses-for-courses” angle is out. Instead, we’ll look at... 

PGA Championship 2016: Biggest Takeaways from Baltusrol

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... 

Separating Contenders from Pretenders to Win Rain-Delayed 2016 PGA Championship

A Saturday morning that dawned at Baltusrol looking like it’d feature the narrative of Jimmy Walker pursuing his first major victory with Henrik Stenson and Jason Day at his heels, turned instead into something resembling White Squall. Play was suspended for the day at just after 2 p.m. ET, and it never got started again. Six twosomes never got on the course. Those groups, of course, featured... 

Top 25 Golfers Heading into the 2016 PGA Championship

Baltusrol Golf Club, which was named after Baltus Roll, a farmer who owned the land where the club sits (and was murdered there), plays host to the PGA Championship this week. Phil Mickelson won the Wanamaker in 2005, the last time the tournament was contested at Baltusrol. Lefty finished at four-under, and only nine players finished under par.  Because the PGA of America doesn’t favor one... 

Preview and Predictions for the 2016 RBC Canadian Open

From one Open to another: The PGA Tour heads from the coast of Scotland to Canada this week for the RBC Canadian Open with the PGA Championship and the Olympics breathing down the necks of the tour’s best.   Jason Day and Dustin Johnson, the two top-ranked golfers in the Official World Golf Ranking, headline a field that features five of the top 25 golfers on the planet.  Day’s... 

Moments That Defined the 2016 Open Championship at Royal Troon

The defining narrative of the 2016 Open Championship was the weekend showdown between Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson after the pair had lapped the field at Royal Troon. A master’s degree in journalism is not required to arrive at that low-hanging conclusion.  The result of the toe-to-toe battle was the moment you see pictured above: 40-year-old Henrik Stenson, the man who for so long... 

The Open Championship 2016: Biggest Winners and Losers from Royal Troon

The winners and losers from Royal Troon this year were determined in large part by the elements and the luck of the draw, which is, in a sense, as it should be at The Open Championship.  Both Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson, stars of the final-round drama from Troon, found themselves on the right side of the weather. And the pair took advantage of the best scoring opportunities, rolling in birdies... 

The Open 2016: Biggest Questions Entering Moving Day

In a day of shifting storylines and rapidly changing conditions at the Open Championship, we were presented with one constant narrative: Henrik Stenson played a heckuva second round. The Swede fired a six-under 65 to move to within a stroke of Phil Mickelson’s 10-under-par lead. Lefty, for his part, played another quality round of golf, getting around Royal Troon in two-under fashion. As the...
