Koepka has his chance 'to earn' his way to No. 1

Your browser does not support iframes. There won’t need to be any wonky math involved. He won’t have to settle for finally reaching the the top via some kind of mathematical reset while he’s sitting at home on the couch (or more likely working out in the gym). No, Brooks Koepka on Sunday in South […]

Koepka's pursuers have no illusions about catching him

Your browser does not support iframes. Ahead by four, wielding his driver like Thor’s hammer, Brooks Koepka is 18 holes from his third victory in five months and his first ascent to the top of the Official World Golf Ranking. The tournament isn’t over. No one is handing him the trophy and updating the OWGR […]

Koepka ahead by four, with No. 1 ranking in his grasp

Your browser does not support iframes. Following a closing birdie and a third-round 67 at Nine Bridges, Brooks Koepka will take a four-shot lead over Ian Poulter and Scott Piercy into final round of the CJ Cup. Here’s how Koepka separated himself from the field in South Korea. Leaderboard: Koepka (-13), Piercy (-9), Poulter (-9), […]

Watch: Koepka flies ball 330 yards, drives green

It’s a good thing par doesn’t actually matter in tournament play, because if it did, the PGA Tour would have to consider 350-yard par-3s, and even those might not stop Brooks Koepka. Already ahead by two during Saturday’s third round at the CJ Cup in South Korea, Koepka drove the green at the par-4 14th, […]

Bend it like Garcia? Sergio scores in player-caddie soccer match

Sergio Garcia has always been able to work his golf ball from left to right, but he’s also – apparently – proficient at playing a draw with a soccer ball. This year’s Adalucia Valderrama Masters is suffering through some weather issues. But the highlight of the week – and, according to the Felipe Aguilar, “the […]

Watch: Is this the up-and-down of the year?

Play away from the pin? Just because there’s a tree in your way? Not Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano. Watch him channel some Arnie (or, more appropriately, some Seve) with this shot in the Valderrama Masters: Best up and down of the year?!@gfcgolf #ValderramaMasters pic.twitter.com/jrFQCLl5V3 — The European Tour (@EuropeanTour) October 19, 2018

Birdie binge for Woodland comes up short at CJ Cup

Gary Woodland mounted an impressive rally at the CJ Cup, but in the end even 11 birdies weren’t enough to catch Brooks Koepka. Woodland started the final round in South Korea five shots behind the new world No. 1, but he made the biggest move of the day amid chilly conditions on Jeju Island. With […]

New world No. 1 Koepka already wants more

If there is a knock on Brooks Koepka, it’s that he’s a little too cool. Gary Woodland, who threw 11 birdies at Koepka on Sunday and still finished four shots back, inadvertently captured that exact sentiment after Saturday’s third round. “You know,” he said, “Brooks doesn’t seem like he cares too much.” Woodland meant that […]

Watch: Koepka holes out from off the green at 16

Brooks Koepka faced a stiff challenge from Gary Woodland on Sunday in South Korea, but eventually it came time to end the suspense. Having clung to a slim lead for much of the back nine, Koepka looked as though he was going to have to scramble just to save par when he missed the green […]
