In need of a caddie for this week’s PGA Tour event, Steven Bowditch reached out to Twitter. The 35-year-old Aussie has won twice on Tour, most recently at the 2015 AT&T Byron Nelson. But his game has fallen on hard times in recent years, as Bowditch has missed 35 of his last 37 cuts dating […]
The PGA Tour unveiled its official schedule for the 2018-19 season on Tuesday, ending months of speculation about just how the pieces will fall into place amid a revamped slate of events. The biggest changes have been known for some time. The Players Championship will move from its spot in May back to the mid-March […]
This began as a typical brainstorming session, an opportunity to take a hard look from 30,000 feet at a sprawling business. “It wasn’t a schedule conversation, it was a product conversation,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan recently explained. “The question was, are we producing the best possible product for our fans?

Each week on GolfChannel.com, we’ll examine which players’ stocks and trends are rising and falling in the world of golf.

Buffett was at Chicago Golf Club Monday to caddie for Patricia Ehrhart during a practice round at the U.S. Senior Women’s Open. Ehrhart was a semifinalist at the 2017 U.S. Women’s Senior Amateur, and she also works […]
Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson is meaningless as an exhibition. The outcome won’t matter, and the competition won’t be remembered in any meaningful sense, unless the $10 million they’re reportedly going to play for is their own money, and that won’t happen. At its best, as merely an exhibition match, Tiger vs. Phil shapes up […]
In the run-up to this week’s Scottish Open, England’s Chris Wood tweeted a picture of a custom-made wedge with the words, “It’s coming home,” etched into the toe of the club. Memes of the English team’s rally cry have flooded social media as the squad prepares for its semifinal match against Croatia on Tuesday at […]
Bryson DeChambeau has in many ways broken the mold during the early part of his pro career, and he feels that might be an asset should he make his Ryder Cup debut this fall.
