The violent scenes at the US Capitol last year led to the PGA taking its major tournament away from former president’s Bedminster course and awarding it to Southern Hills. The horrors associated with a violent mob rampaging around the US Capitol last year meant a subsequent decision relating to a golf tournament barely registered. Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course had been announced as the 2022 US PGA Championship’s host venue in 2014. With Trump caught in the middle of the Capitol storm, the PGA of America changed its plan, and Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma was the beneficiary at short notice.

Sergio Garcia has made no secret of his unhappiness recently. When playing at the Wells Fargo Championship, the temperamental Spaniard told a rules official that he couldn't wait to leave the PGA Tour. It was only a few more weeks, he told the official, that he'd have to put up...

Ian Poulter generously arranged for a spectator and her friends to gain access to the first round of the PGA Championship, after they were let down for their tickets. Poulter told the story on Instagram when he saw a lady upset in his hotel reception because her tickets hadn't arrived from the third party site they were purchased from.

John Daly had himself a nice little Thursday in Oklahoma. The 56-year-old opened the 2022 PGA Championship with a very respectable 72, which was well-documented by our own Shane Ryan. And then he treated himself to dinner at Hooters. Obviously. And then he made a pit slots stop at a casino. Also, obviously.

Tiger Woods followed up his opening-round 74 at the 2022 PGA Championship with a 1-under 69 in Round 2 on Friday, sliding inside the 4-over cut line to see the weekend for his second straight major since returning from a serious car wreck. While Woods at 3 over sits 12 shots back of leader Will Zalatoris after 36 holes, it was not contention but improvement that was expected from Tiger this week.

TULSA, Okla. – The field for the first LIV Golf Invitational Series event has not been announced and already the fallout for players associated with the Saudi-backed breakaway tour has begun. According to a report on SI.com, UPS has cut ties with long-time spokesperson Lee Westwood, who confirmed earlier...

Round 2 of the 2022 PGA Championship is officially underway, and the drama -- much like the temperature at Southern Hills -- is beginning to heat up as some of the sport's brightest and best battle it out at the top of the leaderboard. Justin Thomas was at the front of the movers and shakers Friday in Round 2 as he posted a 3-under 67 -- tied for the lowest to par in the morning wave -- to grab the clubhouse lead from 18-hole leader Rory McIlroy. Thomas played his final 13 holes bogey-free at 2 under as part of his move that now has him at 6 under and solo leader.

TULSA — It wasn't very long ago—2016, in fact—that Talor Gooch was on the brink of collapse at the second stage of the Web.com Qualifying School, pondering a future career at Best Buy. The Midwest City, Okla., native had no profile to speak of, and at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas, it took every ounce of resilience he had to recover from a poor start and fight his way to status. Success wasn't immediate, but Gooch, now 30, has gradually risen up the ranks of the game, and the view now looks very different than it did back then—35th in the world rankings, a PGA Tour win at last fall's RSM Classic, and a top-five at the Players Championship. Trace the path of that trajectory, and the next big expectation is contending at majors. Where better than Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, where he's so close to home he could drive, has gallery support as an Oklahoma State alum and where he's the only born-and-bred Oklahoman in the field?

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler appeared to let his temper get the better of him during his opening round of the PGA Championship. It wasn't the start Scheffler was hoping or expecting and the reigning Masters champion said he was further back than he wanted after round one. The 25-year-old fired...

UPDATE (7:33 p.m. ET): Tiger two-putts for par on 18, and he shoots an impressive one-under 69 and is three over for the tournament, one inside the cut line. Thirty-six more holes for Tiger this weekend. UPDATE (7:15 p.m. ET): Woods got up and down for par on 17, and...

Some of the biggest golfing names in the World will be packing their bags and heading home after missing the cut at the 2022 PGA Championship. The second round of the 104th PGA Championship was very much a tale of two stories. Those in the early wave out on Friday morning had to deal with winds anywhere between 20-30 mph which led to challenging scoring conditions. Meanwhile, those who started later in the day were able to plot their way around a course that featured slow greens as they dealt with significantly less wind.

Tiger Woods the star, Phil Mickelson the great absent. And again: Scottie Scheffler to defend world leadership, Jon Rahm to return to the throne. Then Francesco Molinari, recovering and looking for a great result, and Jordan Spieth aiming to complete the Grand Slam. In Tulsa (United States), Oklahoma, everything is...

TULSA — There is less time than you might think, when you wake up at 5:45 a.m. to watch John Daly smash the metaphorical champagne bottle against the metaphorical hull of Southern Hills Country Club to kick off the 2022 PGA Championship, to consider the life choices that brought you to this moment. Call it 30 seconds to brush your teeth, 30 minutes of riding a shuttle through grimmest Tulsa, and then a bit of walking before—at roughly 6:56 a.m.—the man himself emerges onto the first tee to the heartiest shouts the gallery can muster at such an early hour:

TULSA — The top of the 2022 PGA Championship leaderboard is loaded, with Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy and Bubba Watson among those chasing Will Zalatoris. But the list of those who failed to advance to the weekend at Southern Hills isn’t short on firepower, either. From fledgling superstars,...

It’s happened to all of us. You’re having a tough day, you miss a gettable birdie putt, then the wind takes over and the next thing you know, your ball is submerged in the water. The thing is that when us plebians do it and get irate, millions...

TULSA, Okla. -- Tiger Woods will be around for the weekend at the 104th PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club. Needing to avoid a bogey down the stretch to stay on the right side of the cut line, the 15-time major champion did better than that, with a birdie on the 16th hole. He shot 1-under 69 in the second round on Friday, which pushed him to 3 over through 36 holes.

Even though Tiger Woods may not be at his best, just 15 months removed from a frightening car accident that

TULSA, Okla. -- One last birdie in a strong Oklahoma wind gave Justin Thomas another 3-under 67 and set a daunting target for Rory McIlroy and everyone else Friday in the PGA Championship. Trees were swaying and flags were whipping from the opening tee shot, and rounds in the 60s...

With the projected cut at +4, the odds-on favorite at WynnBET Sportsbook to win his second straight major is going home early. Scheffler will miss the mark by two strokes at Southern Hills for the 2022 PGA Championship following a five-over 75 on Day 2. The swirling winds of 15-25...

In 2021, Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship, becoming the oldest golfer in PGA history to win a major tournament. He will almost continue to hold onto that record this year, but he won't be present to defend it, because recent controversies led him to withdraw. Golf fans who haven't...
