Good news with Seamus Power indicating he’s playing pain free after contesting all four rounds for a fifth occasion in his six 2024 PGA Tour starts at last week’s Genesis Invitational.

Little wonder McIlroy admitted his game was close after posting a no-frills final round of 70 for a five-under par tally on the host Riviera course. It left him trailing a whopping 12 shots behind Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama who cut a swath through the field on day four, birdieing his opening three holes ...

Tiger Woods has spoken following his shock withdrawal from the Genesis Invitational indicating he was “resting and feeling better” a day after we learned it was a bout of flu that sidelined the Riviera tournament host.
