The turkey is going to taste just a little bit juicier on Thanksgiving for Charles Howell III, who used the final start of the fall season on the PGA Tour to grab his third career win, but his first since 2007. Leading after each of the first three days at the RSM Classic, the 39-year-old […]

Ariya Jutanugarn had already won the 2018 LPGA Player of the Year, the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award, the official money list and the newly created Leaders Top 10 competition (with 16 top-10 finishes). Now, she's also $1 million richer. The LPGA's Race to the CME Globe is similar to the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup, a […]

Charles Howell III is used to waiting. Having gone 4,291 days since his last win on the PGA Tour at the Nissan Open at Riviera C.C. in 2007, Howell had no problem going an extra two holes before finally downing Patrick Rodgers for his third PGA Tour victory.

It is hard not to like and root for Jason Gore, a large man with a gregarious nature who endeared himself to the masses when he threatened to win the U.S. Open in 2005. Gore, 44, is the quintessential journeyman whose journey recently took a detour away from professional golf and into the insurance business, […]

It’s been an odd year for Lexi Thompson, who found herself in strange places: missing cuts, taking time off in the middle of the season to maintain her mental health. But after all of it, she finds herself in a familiar place at the end of the season: atop the leaderboard of the CME Group […]

We hate to kick people when they are down, even though that's exactly what it looks like when it comes to the Rutgers football program. Yes we pointed out that awful kickoff return against Maryland, and the story about the anonymous Vegas gambler who was making a killing betting against the Scarlet Knights, and yes, […]

For anyone who knows how much of a grind of mini-tour golf can be, you'll be able to appreciate Willie Mack III's particularly precarious situation.
