In a season-opening edition, we applaud a small-town event with a big-time field, discuss Koepka’s comments from this week, contemplate Lefty’s future and question (again) a lack of transparency in the PGA Tour Player of the Year voting. Made Cut First of 48. For the sixth time in the last seven years, the Tour season […]
Cut Line: In a season-opening edition we applaud a small-town event with a big-time field, contemplate Lefty’s future and question (again) a lack of transparency in the PGA Tour Player of the Year voting. Made Cut First of 48. For the sixth time in the last seven years, the Tour season kicks off in Napa […]
NAPA, Calif. — Jon Rahm is motivated, even if he’s not feeling well. The top-ranked Spanish star had two birdies and two bogeys Thursday in an even-par 72 in the first round of the Fortinet Championship, leaving him well back of the leaders at Silverado Resort and Spa. Chez Reavie had the lead at 65, […]
After tying for the lowest 72-hole score at the Tour Championship and finishing third in the season-long race for the FedExCup, Kevin Na had a different cup on his mind. He was going to waste no time in reaching out to Steve Stricker, the U.S. Ryder Cup captain. “I’m going to text him and see […]
Jason Dufner is picking up where he left off last season. The 44-year-old Dufner capped his previous campaign with four straight top-30 finishes and 11 of 16 rounds in the 60s. While he didn’t qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs, at No. 154 in points, he hasn’t appeared to have lost momentum. His 5-under 67 Thursday […]
Earlier this week, Jon Rahm finished runner-up to Patrick Cantlay in the race for the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year award. If not for a few unfortunate situations, however, Rahm may have been the one with the hardware. Rahm, the world No. 1, and Cantlay, the FedExCup champ, have been linked to each other since the Memorial Tournament, […]
Padraig Harrington is likely breathing a sigh of relief. As it turns out, the European Ryder Cup captain’s star player, world No. 1 Jon Rahm, is feeling better as he battles a stomach illness. Now, Rahm’s game just needs to follow suit, as the Spaniard returned to action Thursday at Silverado Resort with a first-round […]
If there was any doubt that Brooks Koepka wasn’t going to tee it up on Sept. 24 at Whistling Straights for the Ryder Cup, Koepka put that uncertainty to bed. Two weeks ago, Koepka withdrew from the Tour Championship with a left wrist injury after hitting a tree root during his third round at East Lake, […]
This week’s Fortinet Championship kicks off the 2021-22 PGA Tour season, which means it’s time for 10 (somewhat) hot takes and semi-bold predictions: Brooks Koepka wins a major. OK, maybe that doesn’t exactly sound like a scalding hot take but considering Koepka’s last few months – his last top-10 finish was in July at The […]
World No. 1 Jon Rahm withdrew from the Fortinet Championship’s Wednesday pro-am because of a stomach illness. Rahm was supposed to tee off at 8:40 a.m. PST and moved his press conference to 2 p.m. But he then canceled his pre-tournament presser altogether and the Tour announced he would not appear at Silverado Resort and Spa’s North Course at all on […]
