PARAMUS, N.J. – Here are some things I think I think after a third-round 3-under 68 at The Northern Trust Saturday at Ridgewood Country Club: • Let’s start with the good. This was Tiger’s first bogey-free round on the PGA Tour in 1,148 days. Yup, since The Greenbrier in 2015. • Driving, for the second […]
Tiger Woods’ 3-under 68 on Saturday morning looked better on paper than it did in person.

After five straight […]

The CP Women’s Open used to be designated as one of the LPGA’s major championships, back when it was called the du Maurier Classic.

PARAMUS, N.J. – Brooks Koepka showed some muscle and unleashed a monstrous finish Friday to share the lead in The Northern Trust. Tiger Woods missed yet another putt and was relieved to still be playing. Koepka spent most of the second round trading birdies and bogeys, going nowhere. One swing changed everything on the 631-yard […]
PARAMUS, N.J. – Here are some things I think I think after a second consecutive mediocre 71 at The Northern Trust at Ridgewood Country Club: • Just like Thursday, Tiger made two birdies and two bogeys in his second round. He was 2 under after 14 holes and bogeyed two of his last four, including […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – Tiger Woods officially split with swing coach Chris Como last December, although the two hadn’t worked together for months following the 14-time major champion’s fusion surgery on his lower back in April 2017, and he’s been flying solo ever since. Woods played a full PGA Tour schedule for the first time since […]

After a third-round 73 that included 34 putts and sent him tumbling down the leaderboard, Tyrrell Hatton wasted no time getting there. The Englishman needed something new on the greens. “Well that’s the best $172 I’ve ever spent,” Hatton tweeted following a final-round […]
