Rory McIlroy shares lead at Players despite drama on 7th hole

Despite hitting two tee shots into the water and being at the center of a controversial drop after the second one, four-time major champion Rory McIlroy opened the 50th Players Championship with a 7-under 65 to grab a share of the first-round lead Thursday. McIlroy, the 2019 Players Championship winner, was tied atop the leaderboard with Xander Schauffele and reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, who had much more uneventful opening rounds at TPC Sawgrass. McIlroy had just taken the lead at 8 under when he pulled his drive left on the par-4 seventh hole, his 16th of the round. McIlroy’s ball crossed a hazard, […]

Tour rookie Jake Knapp wins Mexico Open despite driver woes

PGA Tour rookie Jake Knapp lost a four-shot lead in seven holes and then held it together with a remarkable short game Sunday, closing with an even-par 71 to earn the Mexico Open at Vidanta and earn a trip to the Masters. Knapp stated he still sends a text after each round to his grandfather, who died last year, and this message might require a lot of detail. He didn’t hit a fairway until the eighth hole and found only two the entire round — the fewest in the final round of a PGA Tour win in the past 40 years, according […]

Tiger Woods wins PGA Tour’s inaugural Player Impact Program, which measures popularity

Tiger Woods, who hasn’t played in a PGA Tour event for more than a year while recovering from injuries suffered in a car wreck, gained the tour’s inaugural Player Impact Program bonus. The program measures a player’s popularity based on a set of criteria. Woods, a 15-time major champion, collected the $8 million top prize, the tour revealed Wednesday. Phil Mickelson, who seemed to indicate in December that he had finished first in the PIP race, was second and will receive $6 million.
