There is more to professional golf than the leaderboard. I collect PGA Tour results, majors coverage, LIV Golf developments and the stories around the players, each with my take and a link to the original report.
Tiger hasn't played a tournament since missing the cut at Royal Troon in 2024. Seeing him in the Bahamas would make the whole winter.
Gusts up to 40 mph pushed last year's final round average to 73.113. Patience is going to win this week.
Söderberg sits just 0.75 points behind Hovland on the card bubble, and Hovland isn't even playing. Talk about pressure in Korea.
Winning at 63 years old is ridiculous. Vijay just refuses to slow down. $345k dub.
Savoie jumped from No. 12 to No. 4 with a closing 67 to grab his card. What a way to finish a season.
He recently fractured a toe and still closed this out in Delhi. Tough as they come.
Seven birdies in each of his first two rounds is how you chase down Reed in the Race to Dubai. Chacarra just won't go away.
Falleur got into this field as the last man at No. 60 and now shares the lead. That's the Sunday story I'm rooting for.
Rory holing out of the bunker for eagle at the 14th saved an ugly day. Nobody makes a messy round look this fun.
Even 81st place in Shanghai pays $5,939. Not a bad way to kick off a four event Asian Swing.
Rahm walked away from nine figures just to get back control of 'Rahmbo' and his own name. That's how badly he wanted out.
Players would own 52.5 percent of LIV 2.0, which is wild. I'd still bet half of them take meetings elsewhere first.
Tommy says he never felt like he gave a tournament away this year. Would put money on that turning into a win soon.
With a November 16 deadline for LIV players, my bet is the Australian Open field gets a lot spicier.
Started out as a spotter at Royal Nepal and now he's on the DP World Tour. Rooting hard for his first tee shot.
No Ryder Cup at Adare Manor for anyone who sticks with LIV 2.0. I think that alone sends more Europeans walking.
Hitt's $270,000 is double what Blades took for second. Let's see if that cash feels small once both are teeing it up on the PGA Tour.
Nineteen years old and he skipped college to bet on himself. Would put money on his first PGA Tour win coming soon.
Missed his previous four cuts and now he's going to Augusta. Amazing.
No cut, so even dead last Aldrich Potgieter cashed $14,400 in Japan. I'd take a guaranteed check for four bad rounds any day.
First Rahm, now Puig. Let's see if LIV 2.0 survives when its future might rest on Bryson, and lately he's only been showing up on YouTube.
Adam Scott saying he'd be happy to win anything after six years is the most relatable thing in golf. Would put money on the timeless Aussie Sunday.
Thirteen cards locked, seven up for grabs, and anyone 43rd or lower needs a win. Let's see who steals one Sunday.
Bridgeman won his last start and then beat Min Woo Lee in Presidents Cup singles. Cannot bet against him going back to back.
Sitting sixth at $74.6 million, just behind Adam Scott. Surprised JT is that high on the list. Will be a long time before Scottie is dethroned.
Shoulder pops at Wentworth, then he's back leading the Race to Dubai in Spain. Cannot bet against him finishing this thing.
Court freed Sergio for 2027; Rahm's the only deal pushed to Nov. 5, past BC's Oct. 25 deadline. Let's see if he's the last one stuck.
Europe went 13-3 in foursomes the last two Cups. Would put money on a captain who finally makes them practice alternate shot.
Nobody's ever defended this title. Would put money on Greyserman after two straight runner-ups.
Players getting real ownership skin in this. Let's see how many stars actually commit by Oct. 25.
