ST. LOUIS – In 2018, I saw Tiger Woods make eight birdies in the final round of a major championship, wearing his trademark red and black, and it was awesome. Emptying out the notebook here from a wild week at the 100th PGA Championship, where Tiger shot a final-round 64 and finished second, two shots […]

ST. LOUIS – The refrain all week at the PGA Championship was that you had to hit the fairway. Unless you’re Tiger Woods, apparently. Woods hit just 5 of 14 fairways Saturday and still carded a 6-under 64, the lowest final round of his major championship career. “He just kind of ho-hummed 64 today,” his […]
ST. LOUIS – Adam Scott came up three shots short with two different putters in the bag. In the final pairing with the champion, Brooks Koepka, Scott was tied for the lead with four holes to play. But he failed to take advantage of birdie opportunities at 15 and 17 and ultimately bogeyed the 72nd […]
ST. LOUIS – Michael Phelps had a front-row seat to watch Tiger Woods take a run at major No. 15 Sunday at the PGA Championship. Walking inside the ropes at Bellerive, the 23-time Olympic gold medalist was sitting on a hill behind the 15th green when Woods very nearly holed out for eagle from the […]
<p. ST. LOUIS – Gary Woodland didn’t factor into the finish Sunday at the PGA Championship. But he seemed like enjoyed his walk around Bellerive, nonetheless. Paired with Tiger Woods, Woodland got off to a difficult start, playing first 10 holes in 2 over. But as Woods made the turn and threatened to potentially claim […]
ST. LOUIS – He rolled into Bellerive on Sunday afternoon looking every bit the boss, black Nike hat pulled down backward and that legendary glare hidden behind a pair of wrap-around sunglasses. The only thing missing was some metal band walk-up music and an obnoxiously loud announcer to send the muddy mosh pit into a […]
ST. LOUIS – Sunday’s deadline to qualify for the U.S. Ryder Cup team came and went without any changes, which was not a huge surprise considering that Nos. 9 and 10 on the point list, Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson, respectively, both missed the cut at the PGA Championship. There was, however, a shakeup on […]
ST. LOUIS – Brooks Koepka won his third major championship Sunday at Bellerive, and he beat his two idols to do it. Koepka fended off Tiger Woods and Adam Scott down the stretch to win the 100th PGA Championship, and it’s unlikely he would have had it any other way. “If you ask Brooks later […]

Despite the fact that Shane Lowry matched his best worldwide finish of the year at the PGA Championship, the Irishman didn’t mince words over a frustrating ruling that played out late in the final round. Lowry was 10 under and four shots behind Brooks Koepka when he stepped to the 16th tee, but he sailed […]
