PARAMUS, N.J. – Phil Mickelson picked a good day to join the Twitter-verse. Immediately following his pro-am round on Wednesday at The Northern Trust, Mickelson was asked about his upcoming match against Tiger Woods in Las Vegas, which Woods had tweeted about moments before. Before answering reporters’ questions he thumbed in a response to Woods […]
It may not be Tigermania, but Brooke Henderson creates her own mania teeing it up in her native Canada. She would relish taking that to another level with a victory in Saskatchewan this week. She’s trying to become the first Canadian to win the title since Jocelyne Bourassa won the inaugural event in 1973. “I […]
Phil Mickelson fired the first shot in the trash-talking battle between he and Tiger Woods, in advance of their $9 million match.

PARAMUS, N.J. – Although officials didn’t announce how much it would cost to watch November’s winner-take-all match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, interest for the pay-per-view event among the duo’s contemporaries seemed low. “No,” Paul Casey laughed when asked if he plans to pay to watch the match. “I’ve never bought anything on pay-per-view.

According to Snedeker’s manager with Lagardère Sports, Snedeker began to feel the spasms on Wednesday and withdrew from the pro-am.

PARAMUS, N.J. – It’s been a long time since Paul Casey has been through this and, if he’s being honest, it’s somewhat bittersweet.
