In little more than a month, Tiger Woods went from being tough to beat to having a tough time even playing.
CROMWELL, Conn. — Justin Rose took care of winning his first major championship last week.
Five of 120 golfers, led by Lacey’s Cameron Peck, broke par in the first round of the 87th Washington State Amateur at Chambers Bay Golf Course on Tuesday afternoon in University Place.
Tiger Woods will be unable to defend his championship at next week's AT&T National due to a strain of his left elbow.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will play in the Dubai Desert Classic in 2014 when the tournament marks its 25th year.
Ah, yes, nothing like another episode of Mickelsonian melodrama to spice up the U.S. Open at Merion over the weekend.
ARDMORE, Pa. — Next week marks four years that Justin Rose first began working on his swing with Sean Foley. But in the moments after winning the U.S. Open for his first major championship, Rose referred to him as more than just a swing coach.
