In the absence of an actual men’s major championship to broadcast during Masters week in April, PGA Championship week in May and U.S. Open week in June, Augusta National, the PGA of America and the USGA (and their TV partners) chose what seemed like the next best thing: vintage footage of classic past championships to

There’s a certain amount of eye rolling that accompanies the announcement of a new podcast, especially when it veers from the conventional model—wry observations from behind a microphone, with some special guests sprinkled in along the way. There are plenty of good ones out there, and for several years Golf Digest had one as well,

7:14 PM ET DETROIT — After six top-10 finishes in a row, Bryson DeChambeau has found the winning formula. After all the experiments, tinkering with equipment, angles, math, bulking up and adding distance, DeChambeau put everything together and won the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. He did it while many on the outside questioned if

The Bryson DeChambeau 240-pound era is here. It arrived, perhaps appropriately, in a city known for its muscle (Detroit), and in booming defiance, with little in the way of apologies to Donald Ross, the camera crew or the field he flattened with the force of a car crusher on his way to a three-stroke victory

There’s something about Pinehurst No. 2 that seems to be suiting Georgia Tech golfers of late.

The Yellow Jackets who finished his senior season this past spring defeated William Holcomb V, 3 and

On Sunday afternoon at Detroit Golf Club, Matthew Wolff has a chance to change the course of a relatively unremarkable sophomore season on the PGA Tour and return his rise in pro golf to meteoric status.

6:32 PM ET DETROIT — The leaderboard has looked different every day at The Rocket Mortgage Classic, which means we should be in for an interesting final round on Sunday.

Bryson DeChambeau has been getting more media attention than any other player since the PGA Tour’s return from its coronavirus break. It’s warranted, given how remarkably well he’s played. But life in the spotlight apparently becomes tiresome, too. En route to a five-under-par 67 on Saturday in the Rocket Mortgage Classic that has him three

7:00 PM ET Associated Press DETROIT — Matthew Wolff had a roller-coaster round that went well enough Saturday to give him a three-shot lead in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Wolff shot his second straight 8-under 64 to move into position for his second PGA Tour victory. He was at 19-under 197 at Detroit Golf Club.

To completely whiff on a golf swing is an embarrassment to anybody at any level. A rank beginner on the range usually makes contact. To have it happen in a professional tour event—well, we had never seen it, until Saturday. Hosung Choi, whose wild, “Happy Gilmore” swing made him an internet sensation and got him

Seeing the final result of any showdown in match play is often a bit misleading. Of course you can always tell who was the winner and who was the loser, but you never really know how well either played. Not all 3-and-2 wins are equal. A closer look at Jonathan Yaun’s 9-and-8 victory over Rasmus
