PGA Championship

The fourth and final spot in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf (to be held in Port Royal Golf Course, Southampton, Bermuda), was favoured to go to perennial favourite Tiger Woods (who led after 54 holes). Seemingly out of nowhere, Y.E. Yang (ranked 110th at that time) rallied ahead and won by 3 shots ov...

by FanHouse NewswireTULSA, Okla. (AP) -- The best amateur golfers in the U.S. keep getting younger and younger. Byeong Hun-An defeated Clemson senior Ben Martin 7 and 5 in the 36-hole final on a brutal Sunday at Southern Hills Country Club, the site of the 2007 PGA Championship.

Fran Marrello has always enjoyed Wethersfield Country Club. Whether it was caddieing for Dave Barr in the 1978 Sammy Davis Jr. Greater Hartford Open, working there as an assistant pro in 1989 or winning the Connecticut Section PGA match play title last year. Wednesday Marrello won the Conn...

Greetings. Just returned from a summer sojurn to Key West, Fla. No I didn't play any golf down there. Too many other things to do. While away, Y.E. Yang won the PGA Championship. That's Yang, not Woods. Wow. Shock city. Tiger appears to be a tad motivated, for he has entered The Barclays this week, the f...

by Ryan WilsonFiled under: PGA Two weeks ago, Tiger Woods was the clear favorite to win the PGA Championship. He headed to Hazeltine with back-to-back wins, his driving accuracy had gone from abysmal to passable, and his short game was impeccable.

Phil Mickelson has always been in the conversation, but names like Charles Howell and David Gossett were gone faster than they came. Sergio Garcia was the clear choice in the late '90s and early '00s, but 10 years after bursting on the scene at the '99 PGA Championship as a 19-year-old pheno...

by Ryan WilsonFiled under: PGA, PGA Championship The 8th-ranked player in the world, and winner of the season-opening Mercedes Championship as well as the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, Ogilvy was frank in his assessment of Hazeltine's set-up.

It was "glory's last shot" at Hazeltine National, and a first for modern day golf fans. Our best golfer failed to win a tournament he was leading, leaving the door open for a basic unknown. So who left Minnesota with smiles on their faces, and who will be trying to Scope that bad taste out of thei...

by Ryan WilsonFiled under: PGA Adam Scott was the third-ranked player in the world a year ago. Now, he's 46th and falling. He's fresh off a missed cut at the PGA Championship, carding 82-79 for a two-day, 17-over finish that left him outside the line by 13 strokes.

It's a stat that almost seems inflated. In major championships, the toughest golf tournaments with the toughest fields in the world, Tiger Woods, the best golfer of the best in the world, is 14-for-14 when leading after 54 holes. He's never lost. Never.

by Shane BaconFiled under: PGA Championship The PGA Championship is well under way, and as Tiger Woods wraps up the beautiful present that was his first-round 67, we will follow Phil Mickelson and company all day long at Hazeltine National.

Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington and Rich Beem have seven Wanamaker Trophy among them. They're playing together in the first two days of the 91st PGA Championship, and 18 holes into it, Tiger is alone in first place after a 5-under, 67, Paddy trails by one, and Beemer is tied for 13th at 1-und...

Tiger Woods, Hunter Mahan and Padraig Harrington are 4-under and atop the leaderboard early in the first round of the PGA Championship Thursday. How's my pick of Kenny Perry? Well, not real well. He's 3-over through 17. K.P. doesn't like Hazeltine right now.

Of course, Woods is the favorite to get one step closer to Jack Nicklaus on the career-majors list. Woods only has won his last two starts on the PGA Tour. But then he won just before the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open, and look how he finished in the majors.

by Shane BaconFiled under: PGA, PGA Championship It started with one golf shot. One eyes-closed, head pulled, inside-out 6-iron at the Medinah Country Club during the 1999 PGA Championship and the chatter began. Who is in line to be the next Tiger Woods?

Now, some might argue that he has fallen off. He hasn't won the Masters since 2005 on a course he should dominate. It has been five majors since Tiger last hoisted a trophy. His golf swing seems to be a light switch at this point in his career; on at certain times, and very much off at others.

Thursday, Phil showed up in Jersey City, N.J. to announce a $50,000 donation to the Liberty Science Center, as part of the Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers Academy, which was started four years ago to encourage new ways of teaching math and science.Mickelson Hints at Barclays Return, Could M...

At times, you forget just how influential Tiger Woods is in the golf world.
