Phil Mickelson fired the first shot in the trash-talking battle between he and Tiger Woods, in advance of their $9 million match. It wasn’t so much a shot at Woods, though, as it was at whomever created the promotional poster. @TigerWoods I see you have a left-handed driver, well played. I hope it’s a Callaway […]

Dustin Johnson entered the par-5 17th in Round 1 of The Northern Trust at 4 under par. Playing competitor Brooks Koepka was at 2 under. When they exited, Koepka led DJ by three. Koepka, who is trying to overtake DJ for world No. 1, made eagle at the 581-yard hole. Up-and-down from 277 for @BKoepka. […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – Dustin Johnson is often celebrated for his ability to ignore past mistakes and failures, his victory at the 2016 U.S. Open standing as a testament to his short-term memory when it comes to competitive miscues. Justin Thomas is not like that. Asked on Tuesday at The Northern Trust if he’d been able […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – Brooks Koepka has often said it’s the doubters, those who questioned his goals and game, who have fueled him on his climb to No. 2 in the world ranking and three major victories in his last six Grand Slam starts.

This week’s Web.com Tour event in Columbus, Ohio, kicks off the secondary circuit’s four-tournament “finals” series, but with […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – Phil Mickelson picked a good day to join the Twitter-verse. Immediately following his pro-am round on Wednesday at The Northern Trust, Mickelson was asked about his upcoming match against Tiger Woods in Las Vegas, which Woods had tweeted about moments before.

It may not be Tigermania, but Brooke Henderson creates her own mania teeing it up in her native Canada. She would relish taking that to another level with a victory in Saskatchewan this week. She’s trying to become the first Canadian to win the title since Jocelyne Bourassa won the inaugural event in 1973. “I […]

The day is coming when Brooks Koepka is going see his name atop the Official World Golf Ranking. In fact, that day could come as soon as this week. Depending on how Dustin Johnson plays in The Northern Trust, a tie for 15th could be enough for the U.S. Open and PGA champion to vault […]

PARAMUS, N.J. – All total, five players who were qualified for this week’s Northern Trust decided to skip the event – Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Patrick Rodgers and Bud Cauley.
