Yealimi Noh is 18 and has no status on the LPGA Tour. But you wouldn’t guess it by how she’s playing at the Cambia Portland Classic. After rounds of 65-68-64, Noh is leading this week’s LPGA event in Portland, Ore., by three over Hannah Green. Not bad for a teen who had to Monday qualify

There are crazy scorecards and then there’s whatever the heck Evan Grenus turned in on Friday. The young pro from Glastonbury, Conn., made a triple bogey, a double bogey, and four bogeys during pre-qualifying for Korn Ferry Tour Q School—and still advanced!

There were plenty of vocal critics of Bryson DeChambeau’s slow play after a video of the Mad Scientist taking more than two minutes to hit a 10-foot putt at Liberty National went viral. But perhaps no critic was as harsh as Eddie Pepperell, who went as far as calling DeChambeau a “single minded twit” in

11:58 PM ET Associated Press CALGARY, Alberta — Michael Bradley birdied his final two holes and tied the course record with a 9-under 61 in Friday’s opening round of the Shaw Charity Classic.

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? It’s a fun conversation that elicits various responses, but, of course, it’s impossible to know the answer. These days on the World Long Drive Association, however, there’s no wondering about

Anirban Lahiri withdrew from the Korn Ferry Tour Championship on Thursday afternoon, citing concern for his family’s safety in the face of Hurricane Dorian.

1:59 PM ET Austria’s Matthias Schwab and France’s Mike Lorenzo-Vera are tied for the lead at the European Masters after the opening round at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland.

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

10:52 PM ET Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — Top-ranked Jin Young Ko finally made a bogey, ending a record run of 114 consecutive holes without dropping a shot, and finished with a 4-under 68 Thursday in the opening round of the Portland Classic, four shots off the lead.

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. Even more surprising might be that

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. But that didn’t keep him from flying to Switzerland and playing in the Omega European Masters, just his

7:43 PM ET ATLANTA — For three frenetic minutes on Sunday, at least 14 people searched frantically through fallen leaves and thick kudzu under magnolia trees for Brooks Koepka‘s wayward tee shot on the seventh hole at East Lake Country Club. Someone found a Callaway. Then a TaylorMade. And finally a Titleist, but not the

Matthew Fitzpatrick is a loyal Englishman, but he certainly seems to have an affinity for the mountains of Switzerland. Since turning professional in 2014, Fitzpatrick has played in the Omega European Masters on the Crans-sur-Sierre course five times. After a missed cut in his initial appearance, he subsequently has finished seventh, second, first and first.

8:15 PM ET ATLANTA — As much as he later said he enjoyed being part of and witness to history a year ago at East Lake, Rory McIlroy didn’t much relish that final-hole walk. Fans rushing past him. That chanting and singing and hollering for someone else. The fleeting fear of being trampled. It was

The debate was over by January. He had a short-game prowess to match his prolific power, and his iron production was miles ahead of were it had been on the Web.com circuit. The results backed it up: Cam Champ, hailed as the “Future of Golf” by several publications—this one included—had a win, four top 11s

It was 23 years ago this week, Aug. 29, 1996 to be precise, that Tiger Woods, 20 at the time, made his professional debut at the Greater Milwaukee Open. It was a memorable week, notwithstanding his tying for 60th, and occasionally an amusing one as well. Here are 10 reasons why: 1. En route via

10:52 AM ET Just like that, the golf season is over. Four majors and the FedEx Cup in the rearview before the calendar flips to September — this new calendar might take a bit of getting used to. So we look back on the year that was and what comes next. Rory McIlroy or Brooks
