There are crazy scorecards and then there’s whatever the heck Evan Grenus turned in on Friday.

Jetlag, shmetlag. Rory McIlroy rightfully should have been exhausted after his victory on Sunday at the Tour Championship, which capped a (lucrative) stretch of five starts in six weeks to close out the 2018-’19 PGA Tour season.

There’s a popular debate among PGA Tour fans that stems from a hypothetical question: If everyone played their “A-game” at a tournament, who would win?

Considering Tommy Fleetwood’s rise inside the top 15 on the Official World Golf Ranking over the past few years, this might surprise you: the five-under 65 he shot on Thursday at the Omega European Masters was his best opening round on the European Tour in more than four years.

The USGA has held the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur since 1962, and used match play to determine a winner since 1997, but it has never seen the two finalists from one year return for a championship rematch the next. Never, that is, until Thursday at Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Country Club, when Lara Tennant and Sue

All’s well that ends well for Bob Royak, the new U.S. Senior Amateur champion.

ATLANTA — The PGA Tour season is over. The next one starts in two weeks. So much for the offseason. “I am tired, but we have the opportunity to play for $15 million [for the FedEx Cup], which is a ridiculous amount of money,” Bryson DeChambeau said ahead of last week’s Tour Championship. “It’s a

I just received the Bob Jones Award. It’s the biggest honor there is in golf. When you’re given an award by the USGA that goes out only once a year, you know it’s special. The presentation was during the week of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Accepting the award and speaking after Gary Player
