AUSTIN, Texas – After his victory at The Players, Rory McIlroy spent a good chunk of time explaining how he’s learned to separate himself from his work. Who he is as a golfer, he says, does not represent who he is as a person. That philosophy extends to his pursuit of the career Grand Slam […]
AUSTIN, Texas – For two decades, Tiger Woods has insisted that he never enters an event he doesn’t expect to win. But winning here at Austin Country Club will be a little more taxing than normal. Whichever players advance to Sunday’s final match will have played seven rounds of golf in five days. That’s a […]
AUSTIN, Texas – Tiger Woods’ return to the PGA Tour last season created a parade of first-tee introductions with players he had never been paired with.

AUSTIN, Texas – Jim Furyk called his 26th year on the PGA Tour a “season of opportunity.” After beginning the 2018-19 season with limited status and ranked 222nd in the world following a series of injuries and his two-year stint as the U.S. Ryder Cup captain, his fortunes turned around quickly in 2019. The 48-year-old […]
