Whether you believe Scottie Scheffler or Xander Schauffele is leading the PGA Tour Player of the Year race is one of the more fun golf water cooler topics to banter about heading into the final leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the Tour Championship at East Lake.

Justin Thomas has had a very interesting year. He came out on fire, logging four top-12s in his first five events. But down the stretch of the season, the two-time major champion struggled mightily. As Sunday’s final round of the BMW Championship played out, Thomas needed to play well and get help to reach this […]

Adam Scott’s roller coaster season took on more twists and turns Sunday.

Keegan Bradley was the last PGA Tour member in the 50-person field for the BMW Championship, the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Rory McIlroy entered play Friday at the BMW Championship looking to make a move into contention. McIlroy’s opening round was suspended on 18 due to lightning as he was about to attempt his par putt. As frustrating as that likely was, his play Friday was probably even more irritating. He missed the par putt to […]

Longtime PGA Tour veteran Adam Scott played the back nine last Sunday under incredible stress. He needed to perform down the stretch to ensure he would even make it to Colorado for this week’s BMW Championship. He did just that and now Scott suddenly finds himself with a shot at the FedEx Cup after Friday’s […]

Rory McIlroy — who has earned over $150 million for his golf on the PGA Tour and beyond — is investing a sizable chunk of his career earnings into TickPick, a secondary ticketing marketplace. Through his investment firm Symphony Ventures, based out of Ireland, McIlroy is partnering with Brighton Park Capital to make a $250 […]

Rory McIlroy, the only 3-time FedEx Cup winner, had one goal for the PGA Tour’s postseason: End his year on a high note. “I think when the bulk of the season has come and gone and you’ve got this opportunity of three weeks to really, I guess, flip the script a little bit or change […]

Over the last few weeks, PGA Tour stars have been asked to weigh in on the tantalizing Player of the Year race between Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele. Scheffler, the World No. 1, has six prestigious PGA Tour victories, including the Masters, and an Olympics gold medal. Schauffele has two majors (PGA Championship, the Open) […]

The PGA Tour’s best player, Scottie Scheffler, has made it pretty clear over the past week: The FedEx Cup Playoffs? Sure, they’re fine. Not really his thing, though. “I talked about it the last few years, I think it’s silly,” Scheffler said before last week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind. “You can’t call […]

The PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs format has been a hot topic the last couple of seasons. Some fans love it while others consider it a joke. Even some of the players have voiced strong opinions on the matter. FedEx St. Jude Championship winner Hideki Matsuyama stopped just short of calling it unfair to Scottie […]

Hideki Matsuyama held what appeared to be an insurmountable lead entering Sunday’s final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He led by five strokes over Nick Dunlap, with superstars Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele even further back. Viewers at home likely lost interest at some point, as the Japanese pro seemed to be cruising […]

Xander Schauffele and the rest of the field entered Sunday’s final round at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in need of some magic if they wanted to track down Hideki Matsuyama. The Japanese star took a five shot lead into the final round, with Nick Dunlap being the closest competitor. Schauffele, on the other hand, […]

Jordan Spieth’s “frustrating” 2024 season mercifully culminated with a second-to-last place finish at the St. Jude Championship on Sunday — therefore eliminating him from the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Spieth battled a confounding wrist injury all season — the result of a torn ligament in 2023. The 3-time major champion finished 66th in the FedEx Cup […]

The first leg of the PGA Tour’s “silly” season, the FedEx Cup Playoffs, was completed this past weekend, as Hideki Matsuyama claimed the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis with a pinch-hit caddie. The top 7o in the season-long FedEx Cup points standings qualified for the St. Jude. The top 50 after […]

Scottie Scheffler is once again reminding the golf world why he is the top-ranked player in the world.

A handwritten letter by Tiger Woods, in which the future PGA Tour legend denounces racism in golf on personal terms, is currently up for auction at Goldin, a collectibles marketplace.

Hideki Matsuyama, in the aftermath of a robbery that forced his caddie and swing coach to abruptly return to Japan ahead of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, opened his FedEx St. Jude Championship by shooting a 5-under 65 at TPC Southwind in Memphis. At the completion of a 100-degree day in Tennessee, Matsuyama sits in second […]

By most people’s standards, Rory McIlroy has enjoyed an enviable season on the PGA Tour. As the FedEx Cup Playoffs get underway, the no. 3-ranked player in the world has two wins (including a Signature Event), a U.S Open runner-up, and seven top-10s. Of course, Rory McIlroy is not most people. “I certainly don’t want […]

Ahead of the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind — the first leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs — PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan provided an update on the progress of talks with LIV Golf’s backer, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia. Progress … or lack thereof. Here’s what Monahan told reporters […]

Scottie Scheffler hasn’t performed all that well in the PGA Tour’s postseason, so you can understand why he isn’t exactly attached to the three-week FedEx Cup Playoffs as a year-ending competition. Rory McIlroy, for the most part, disagrees. “I talked about it the last few years, I think it’s silly,” Scheffler said Wednesday at his […]

PGA Tour star Hideki Matsuyama — who recently won a bronze medal for Japan at the Paris Olympics — will be without his caddie and coach when the FedEx Cup Playoffs begin, after he and his team were robbed during a stop over in London. The FedEx St. Jude Championship starts Thursday at TPC Southwind […]

The PGA Tour released its 2025 season season schedule on Wednesday, the eve of the 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs. The slate doesn’t introduce a slew of changes, as has been the case in recent years as the PGA Tour has tried to mondernize in the face of competition from LIV Golf. Notably, the 2025 PGA […]

At the end of the year, either Scottie Scheffler or Xander Schauffele will be honored with the Jack Nicklaus Award for PGA Tour Player of the Year.

The first leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the PGA Tour’s postseason, begins on Thursday at TPC Southwind in Memphis with the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

At the same time Phil Mickelson reevaluates his role with LIV Golf, he’s identifying how he can remain “in contention” for majors. Mickelson, 54, has struggled to stay competitive since loudly jumping from the PGA Tour to the disruptive “Golf, But Louder” league (and controversially helping the Saudi-backed enterprise launch with notoriety). Lefty finished 34th […]

Scottie Scheffler earned himself an $8 million bonus — more than all but seven PGA Tour players have made in 2024 — for winning the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 for the 2024 PGA Tour’s FedExCup regular season, which concluded at the Wyndham Championship. Scheffler, ranked no. 1 in the world, became the first player […]

Graeme McDowell became the first LIV Golf member to receive a suspension for violating the league’s anti-doping policy after testing positive for a banned substance. In his statement, the 2010 U.S. Open champion appeared to take a dig at the PGA Tour. Here’s what happened with Graeme McDowell. Graeme McDowell’s suspension, explained McDowell tested positive […]

Presumably, dozens of Wyndham Championship staffers will be asked to return to Sedgefield Country Club on Monday so Matt Kuchar can finish off his PGA Tour season, likely with an irrelevant bogey. (Note: This article has been updated after Monday’s events.) Aaron Rai (-18) has already won the tournament, snagging his first career PGA Tour […]

Chi Chi Rodriguez, one of the most charismatic, popular, and generous figures in the history of golf, has died. Juan “Chi Chi” Rodriguez, indisputably the greatest golfer Puerto Rico has ever produced, was 88 years old. The Puerto Rico Golf Association announced his passing. No cause was listed. A gifted player, entertainer and humanitarian, World […]

As with Tiger Woods and the PGA Tour, Phil Mickelson may shift into an off-the-course role with LIV Golf. “I see glimpses and my teammates see glimpses of me being where I expect to be able to compete at this level,” Mickelson said on a press call ahead of LIV’s Individual Championship at Bolingbrook Golf […]
