Tiger Woods’ Latest Return Tease Preventing Adjustment to a New Reality

Tiger Woods: PGA Tour grinder. Given a career resume that makes him a mandatory part of chats regarding the game’s all-time greats, even suggesting such a label seems blasphemous. After all, he has 79 tour victories and 14 major championships. The Associated Press deemed him the “Athlete of the Decade” for the first 10 years of the millennium. He’ll be the player today’s... 

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... 

PGA Championship 2016: Complete Guide to This Year’s Tournament at Baltusrol

No, you didn’t read the calendar incorrectly. It’s still July. There have been no NFL preseason games played. And yet it’s still time for the final golf major of 2016, the PGA Championship. Thanks to the scheduling issues prompted by the imminent Olympics in Brazil, the fourth Grand Slam jewel was moved up from its normal month to accommodate. So there’s been just one week of... 

Falling Just Short at Epic British Open Only Adds to Phil Mickelson’s Legacy

In the end, Phil Mickelson‘s competitive side won out. Upon finishing the Open Championship with a final-round 65 that left his aggregate score equal with what had been a 23-year-old tournament record, he wanted zero part of moral victories. “No, it doesn’t,” he said curtly to NBC’s Steve Sands, who had asked if putting up those numbers softened the blow of a runner-up... 

Win or Lose, Seeing Vintage Phil Mickelson at 2016 Open Championship Is a Treat

It was old-school Phil Mickelson. Over a few Saturday minutes on the 18th hole at Royal Troon, the 46-year-old showed the smorgasbord of moods and magic those who’ve followed his game for decades have grown accustomed to. He grimaced as he watched a drive tango with the fairway’s right-side fringe. He barked as camera clicks interrupted the downswing of a second shot that found a green-side... 

The Open Championship 2016: Full Guide to This Year’s Tournament at Royal Troon

If it feels like The Open is here a bit soon this year, you’re right. The European-based leg of the golfing Grand Slam was moved up a week in 2016 to allow players time to prepare for next month’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. It’s been 12 years since the Royal Troon Golf Club—about 35 miles southwest of Glasgow, Scotland—hosted the Open Championship, which unheralded... 

US Open 2016: Biggest Winners and Losers from Oakmont

For those who like their major championships with a side of drama, it was a masterpiece. The U.S. Open at Oakmont had intermittently awful weather, a lingering anonymous interloper and a final round that included a meltdown, a redemption and a look at the perpetual silliness of golf rules. When the sun went down in suburban Pittsburgh, Dustin Johnson was the 2016 U.S. Open champion. But the story of... 

U.S. Open 2016: Biggest Questions Entering Moving Day

Two days into the U.S. Open at Oakmont, Pennsylvania, and little is carved in stone. Wicked weather impacted everyone in the field, which means the 36-hole cut line won’t even be official until sometime Saturday. The world’s No. 1 player, Jason Day, is in some peril, however, as are 2015 champion Jordan Spieth and career Grand Slam wannabe Phil Mickelson. But by the time Saturday is complete,... 

U.S. Open Odds 2016: Favorites to Win the Championship Trophy

Father’s Day is a week away. And for golf fans, that means U.S. Open time is nearer still. The best golfers in the world are flocking to Oakmont Country Club in suburban Pittsburgh to see if the 2016 event can match the drama of 2015, when Jordan Spieth won his second straight major after Dustin Johnson’s putting meltdown on the 72nd hole at Chambers Bay.
