PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan laid out the newest steps he’s putting into place to prepare players for legalized gambling’s inevitable impact on professional golf during a players’ meeting Tuesday at the Honda Classic.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – The Bear Trap’s party hole shouldn’t be quite as daunting this year. The Honda Classic moved up the tee box at the PGA National Champion Course’s 17th hole and rebuilt the seating around the party pavilions. The scorecard yardage is now 175 yards, but it will probably play even shorter, perhaps […]

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Erik Compton will turn 40 later this year, but he’ll always be a South Florida kid. The locals love to root for him. The proof is on his cell phone, where he received a good luck text from Tiger Woods on Wednesday morning. Woods is the most famous local rooting […]

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – It’s been said many times before. Adam Scott is no stranger to change, and his short game is seeing another revamp this week at the Honda Classic. Scott used a different putter and grip than he has in the past, during Round 1 at PGA National, even though he’s having […]

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. ‑ Even at 43 years old and in his 15th year on the PGA Tour, Zach Johnson sets the bar pretty high. Last season did not live up to those expectations. The 2007 Masters champion hasn’t won a PGA Tour event since the 2015 Open Championship, but he comes into this […]

Rickie Fowler ran afoul of the new knee-height drop rule last week at the WGC-Mexico Championship, and he had some choice words after receiving a penalty for dropping from shoulder height. “I think, with the new rules that have been put in place, it’s not doing any favors for our sport.
