Jhonattan Vegas has an opportunity this week to become just the fourth player in the past 30 years to win a PGA Tour event in three consecutive seasons. Vegas is a two-time winner of the RBC Canadian Open. He’s the fourth player to defend his Canadian title since 1930, and the first since Jim Furyk […]
Colin Montgomerie said Wednesday that European Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn should feel “very confident” about his team’s chances in Paris. Francesco Molinari broke through at Carnoustie to snap the Americans’ five-major winning streak, dating to Brooks Koepka’s U.S. Open title in 2017. “Amazing what an Open victory does to a team mentality, and not […]
This is the final year that the RBC Canadian Open will be sandwiched between the Open Championship and WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Next year, with the PGA Tour dramatically reshaping its schedule, the Canadian Open will shift to the week prior to the U.S. Open. The event will also move away from Glen Abbey and be staged […]
Jim Furyk is officially on the clock. All of those vague, circumspect answers he’s given in recent months about the U.S. Ryder Cup team – you know the lines: it’s still early; there’s a lot of golf to play; we’ll see in a few months – now give way to a quickly approaching deadline. The […]

Like the men, the women will play their […]

It was looking a lot like 1995 on Thursday at the Old Course – at least for a few hours. John Daly, who won the ’95 Open Championship at St. Andrews, got off to a brilliant start in Round 1 of The Senior Open. After a bogey at the second, he made birdie at the […]
Tom Watson might be playing his last competitive rounds at St. Andrews. The 68-year-old, who said farewell to The Open in 2015, is playing in the first Senior Open on the Old Course. He opened with a bogey-free, 3-under 69 as he looks to win for the first time on the famed links. “I didn’t […]
Jean Van de Velde was inside the ropes at last week’s Open Championship, with golf spikes on, though of course he wasn’t part of the competition. Only former Open winners can play until they’re 60. He blew that chance 19 years ago. Now, he’s a part-time on-course TV reporter for Canal+ in France. Across four […]
