NORTON, Mass. – Following one of his worst putting weeks of the year, Tiger Woods arrived at the Dell Technologies Championship with a new putter. Woods used the TaylorMade TP Juno, a blade, during his pro-am round on Thursday at TPC Boston, but he did not say if he planned to put it in play […]

NORTON, Mass. – On Thursday Tiger Woods suggested that Rory McIlroy, who last week skipped the first playoff event, may have had the right idea with all of the big events packed into the next few weeks. For Woods, there would be a value in an extra week of rest, but McIlroy’s decision to skip […]

Alena Sharp grinded out an even-par round Thursday at the Cambia Portland Classic, but she couldn’t have left Columbia Edgewater Country Club feeling better if she were atop the leaderboard.

NORTON, Mass. – If you do learn more from defeat than you ever do from victory, consider 2018 a triumph for both Jordan Spieth and clichés. You know the deal – it’s the journey, not the destination.
