Woods had committed to the coming week’s Wyndham Championship, his hand forced by the Friday night entry deadline, but his comments after his round Saturday suggested that he might be prepared to call it a season after 28 rounds spread over 10 events. Woods’ dominance...

Then, he went to the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits with a chance to join Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods as the only players to win three majors in 1 year. More than a caddie, Swatton helped Day, a troubled youth, turn his life around and eventually grab one of golf’s...

Day is the first Australian to win a major since Adam Scott picked up the 2013 Masters and only the fifth to win the PGA Championship after Steve Elkington (1995), Wayne Grady (1990), David Graham (1979) and Jim Ferrier (1947). The stats obviously supported that view – the...

“But I’m going to have fun with it, and I’m pretty relaxed on the golf course“. He’s still good enough to pop into contention occasionally, a la Phil Mickelson, but the days of him living in inside the top half of the leader board at every major are...
