The 2020 U.S. Open is scheduled for Sept. 17-20 at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., three months later than originally planned.

5:11 PM ET Associated Press DUBLIN, Ohio — Jack Nicklaus revealed Sunday during the CBS telecast of the Memorial that he and his wife tested positive for the coronavirus at the onset of the pandemic. Nicklaus and his wife, Barbara, turned 80 a month apart at the start of the year. He said his wife
Even without the presence of Bryson DeChambeau, the PGA Tour still managed to provide some soap-opera-level drama late on Sunday at the Memorial. While opening up an eight-shot lead at one point, things got interesting for Jon Rahm coming down the stretch at Muirfield Village. A little too interesting, perhaps. Ryan Palmer had cut Rahm’s
Brooks Koepka admitted on Saturday at the Memorial Tournament that his left knee that has bothered him for more than a year still “has its moments.” Perhaps that explains why his game continues to have moments that are equally troublesome. Koepka started out saying that inconsistency was holding him back, and there was plenty of
5:14 PM ET DUBLIN, Ohio — Justin Thomas‘ caddie left on the back nine of his third round at Memorial Tournament on Saturday. “Jimmy (Johnson) just wasn’t feeling well,” Thomas said. “He was feeling dizzy. I mean, I can tell he was light-headed and just didn’t have a lot of energy. I mean, I told
Jack Nicklaus, a 73-time PGA Tour winner, earned $5,734,031 during his illustrious tour career. On Sunday, the winner of the tournament that he hosts, the Memorial, will earn a prize money payout of $1.674 million. We’ll help you do the math here: That’s a little more than 29 percent of Nicklaus’ career earnings, for the
7:18 PM ET Associated Press DUBLIN, Ohio — Jon Rahm showed Saturday in the Memorial why he’s one of the most explosive players in golf. With his clubs. A back nine that capped off what he considers one of the best rounds of his career gave Rahm a 4-under 68, turned a four-shot deficit into
DUBLIN, Ohio — Becoming the No. 1 golfer in the world is a bit like winning the lottery. There’s no bad way to do it. Still, some ways are better than others. Back in 2018, Justin Rose lost in a playoff and became world No. 1 the next day. That was nice, because he played
“That’s what I think it is, personally…the yips,” says Golf Digest 50 Best Teacher and tour short game guru Kevin Weeks. “He’s doing something he has to do to get control again over the face. He’s done the claw or the saw before, so he’s had some issues, and this is another step toward finding
DUBLIN, Ohio — Winning is out of the question for Tiger Woods here at the Memorial. He knows this. Heck, he looked destined for an early flight home after 15 holes on Friday. Two late birdies and a clutch up-and-down par on his last hole of the day salvaged a four-over 76, which turned out
6:25 PM ET DUBLIN, Ohio — Bryson DeChambeau had his worst-ever score on a hole when he had a quintuple-bogey 10 on the par-5 15th hole during the second round of the Memorial Tournament on Friday. To make matters worse, the score took DeChambeau from safely inside the cut line to missing the weekend at
DUBLIN, Ohio — It started off well enough. A beautiful flop shot on his first hole of the day to save par, two perfect swings on his second to reach the par-5 11th in two. It was all going swimmingly for Tiger Woods to start the second round at the Memorial. But nothing kills a
2:31 PM ET DUBLIN, Ohio — Tiger Woods‘ return to the PGA Tour at the Memorial Tournament might not last as long as he had hoped. Woods sputtered along all morning Friday, struggling to find the fairway while shooting 4-over 76 to put him at 3 over through the first two rounds and in danger
In line with the chunky shoe trend arriving in golf, Nike has released the popular Air Max 270 golf shoe—a remix of the popular extra-cushioned street shoe version. The Air Max 270 G is available now on the Nike website—with one of the five color options already sold out and the rest expected to go
TBD on those first two. But we can now answer No. 3—yes. At least to some degree. Despite an extremely short backswing, Tony Finau is one of the longest players on the PGA Tour. Last year, he finished ninth in driving distance at more than 309 yards despite never taking the club back past his
A reusable water bottle is a necessity for golfers. It’s a great way to stay hydrated and go easy on the environment by avoiding single-use plastic bottles. As with most products these days, you can take your water-bottle selection to the next level with “smart” bottles containing futuristic technology to keep your water cold, tasting
The Minnesota native wasn’t technically a golf course architect—he never built an actual course—but rather a golf course artist. And yet the creative flair and dramatic realism that Chapman, who died on July 9 at age 97, brought to his fictional drawings made them as memorable as some real-life designs. An accomplished player who attempted
Being good at playing golf on TV doesn’t mean someone will be good at talking golf on TV. Johnny Miller was a paragon in that arena. Christina Kim might be, too, if she could be bothered. She’s off to a good start. This week, the three-time LPGA winner is dipping her toes into the TV
