Now that Rory McIlroy’s on the PGA Tour Players Advisory Board maybe we might get some PGA action on coming down hard on the Tour tortoises. The normally even-tempered McIlroy was fuming in declaring slow play is becoming ‘an epidemic’ on the PGA Tour. And McIlroy not only slams the Tour tortoises but the inaction of the PGA Tour in singling out the slow-coaches. “Tour officials don’t do anything about it,” said McIlroy, who along with playing partners Phil Mickelson and Matt ...

It was not Tiger Woods fault for a penalty drop blunder at the famed 17th hole on day two of the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Yes, Woods hit not one but two balls into the water in walking off with a crippling triple-bogey ‘7’. In 17 prior Players appearances in teeing-up on the 17th Woods had found the water surrounding 17 on just four occasions. However, it has come to light Woods, and under the new rules introduced on January 1st, could have saved himself two shots at 17 ...

There was only a few dozen spectators around the green when the West Waterford golfer’s tee shot landed just short of the hole before disappearing into the bottom of the cup. “It ...

Paul McGinley was virtually jumping out of his seat trying to contain his excitement moments after Rory McIlroy brilliantly muscled his way into a share of the lead on day two of the Players Championship. Once again, McIlroy has put himself into contention to end what is now a 53-week winless run following a spectacular second round 65 to draw level with Englishman Tommy Fleetwood on 12-under par at TPC Sawgrass. McGinley has never been one to pull punches and admire the victorious Ryder Cup captain ...

Power is contesting the event for a first occasion and in what is the richest event he’s contested but after an opening level par ...

A stunning 16th hole eagle and 17th hole birdie sent Rory McIlroy soaring high towards a first Players Championship victory. McIlroy came from three shots off the lead with three holes to play to finish eagle, birdie and par in a round of 65 to tie victorious Ryder Cup colleague, Tommy Fleetwood (67) in the lead at 12-under par on the TPC Sawgrass course.

Top-Scot Russell Knox was upbeat despite bogeying his closing two holes in a score of 68 on day two of the Players Championship. Knox was tied for the lead at eight-under par standing on the famed island-green 17th when he comfortably found the green in regulation with an 8-iron but then horribly took three-putts from some 32-feet for a then first bogey of his round. The local Jacksonville resident, who went into day two sharing 35th place after an opening 70, has earlier picked-up for birdies over ...
