Six years ago, Charl Schwartzel started the year with a bang. Two tournament wins in his first four starts in 2016. Since then? A victory drought. He made 136 consecutive starts without a win while suffering a wrist injury that cut short one season. It was a tough stretch to endure for the one-time major champion and winner of 23 worldwide events. But he persevered – and on Saturday, he took home golf’s biggest tournament prize, winning the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational London and its $4 million ...

Rory McIlroy produced a bright four-under-par start to the defence of his RBC Canadian Open title but on a day overwhelmingly overshadowed by the PGA Tours decision to suspend all those Tour members who teed-up in the historic opening event of the LIV Tour outside of London. McIlroy had waited three years since he posted a sizzling final round 61 to capture the 2019 edition of the Canada’s premier men’s tournament. His opening day score of a four-under-par 66 included six birdies to leave ...

The 19-year-old McKinney, who was born in Scotland but moved with his family to Perth in Western Australia since he was 12-years of ago, is the second Australian to win the coveted tournament, and now joining Victoria’s Stuart Bouvier who captured the second hosting ...

You would think that someone of Hideki Matsuyama’s stature or those around him would not have allowed him tee-up in any tournament for fear of being kicked out after what was described as ‘white out’, the paint-like substance we used to correct mistakes on paper, appeared on the face of one of his clubs That’s exactly was happened to the former Masters champion and ​present World No. 12 when he was unceremoniously thrown out of the Memorial Tournament midway through his first round Thursday ...

Scot Ewen Ferguson admits he’s felt being ‘constantly battered’ as he continues to eye a Dutch Open double delight heading to the weekend rounds of the championship in Cromvoirt. The reigning Qatar Masters champ heads to day three sharing 19th place but only six-shots shy of the lead in the 102nd edition of the premier Dutch event on the host Bernardus course for a second year running. Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia double-bogeyed the 11th but then eagled the 12th in a round of 66 to head the ...

 Rory McIlroy leads after the first round of the 2022 PGA Championship.  It is the fifth time in his major championship career that he has held at least a share of the lead at the end of Round 1.   He did that at the 2010 Open Championship at St. Andrews (finished T-3), 2011 Masters (finished T-15), 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club (Won) and 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club (Won). McIlroy, who shot 64 (-6) in the final round of the 2022 Masters, becomes the first ...

After his superhuman effort at the Masters, Tiger Woods is up against it to play all four rounds in the PGA Championship at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Woods, and winner of the 2007 PGA Championship when last at Southern Hills, is in doubt to be present for his second-round tee time and if so, the 15-time major champion faces an enormous turnaround in fortunes to match his stunning Augusta National showing if he’s also to play all four days. Woods, and teeing-up in the company of Rory McIlroy and Jordan ...
