PARAMUS, N.J. – A big part of the PGA Tour’s schedule makeover that will begin next season was a reduction in the number of post-season events, with the circuit transitioning from the current model of four to just three stops. Beginning in 2019, the playoff rotation will be The Northern Trust, BMW Championship and Tour […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – As interviews go Tony Finau is nailing it. Paired with U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk for Rounds 1 and 2 at the PGA Championship, Finau birdied seven of his first eight holes on Friday on his way to a 66. Finau also played with Furyk on Saturday at Bellerive and shot […]

Friday must have felt an awful lot like Thursday for Dustin Johnson. In Round 1 of The Northern Trust, the world No. 1 made triple bogey on his opening nine holes and then nearly made an ace a few holes later. In Round 2, he started his round with a triple-bogey 7 at the first […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – William McGirt’s season ended Friday at The Northern Trust, an inauspicious conclusion to what was the most painful year of his career. McGirt, who began the week 109th on the FedExCup point list, missed the cut at Ridgewood Country Club and can now turn his attention toward an upcoming surgery on his […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – Phil Mickelson fiddled with his cellphone as he clumsily searched through Twitter like a man trying to get dressed in the dark.

Stacy Lewis is surprised how active she is on maternity leave as she gets ready to welcome her first child into the world. Yes, the only American to win the Rolex Player of the Year Award over the last 24 years – twice, actually – is following what’s happening in the LPGA, but not too […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – Let the annual scramble begin. For many the PGA Tour playoffs bring a unique brand of pressure, with players vying to move on to the next event or an early off-season. Friday’s cut at The Northern Trust brought a bit of clarity to this race, with six players poised to play their […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – Phil Mickelson once played a Masters with two drivers in his bag and a U.S. Open with no driver, so Adam Scott’s theory for carrying two putters is hardly groundbreaking. “Logically, it sounds good to me to have a putter you like for long putts and one for short putts, if that’s […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – Brooks Koepka continued his quest to demolish everything that stands in his way Friday at The Northern Trust. While playing with Justin Thomas and Dustin Johnson – a grouping of the top three in both the FedExCup rankings and the world ranking – Koepka shot a spiffy 6-under 30 on the final […]

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 […]
