5 days ago Golf Channel

Rahm had two putts to finish at 17-under 261 and win for the ninth time on the PGA Tour.

Last week, Phil Mickelson created headlines when he said the PGA Tour is “trending downwards” and that he was on the “winning side” with LIV Golf. “I certainly don't see the PGA Tour trending downward at all. In response to an anecdote about LIV players voting for the right to wear shorts during tournament rounds, he said, “Democracy’s OK.

Monday Scramble: Rory McIlroy's rise back to the top; the ultimate 2023 player schedule

Rory McIlroy climbs the mountain, four PGA Tour events get a lift, Lydia Ko becomes a dominant force (again!) 1, and this time he did it with the weight of the golf world on his shoulders. “Just the steady climb back up to the summit of world golf and what it takes, right?” he said. For a guy who didn’t have a Tour win as of Feb. 12, Scheffler wore the crown for the past 30 weeks like a seasoned veteran. For the third time in his past 14 starts Kitayama finished runner-up in a Tour event, putting him on the short list of players who appear poised to take the next step in 2023.

Rory McIlroy confirms snub as video shows tee toss; Patrick Reed fires back

Rory McIlroy claimed Wednesday that he never saw Patrick Reed flick a tee in his direction in Dubai, but he also made clear that there will be no love lost between the two major champions. 1 and then tossed a tee in McIlroy’s direction. “Like, you can’t pretend like nothing’s happening, right?” McIlroy said of Reed. “Rory just looked down there and was messing with his Trackman and kind of decided to ignore us,” Reed said, according to Golf Digest.

PGA Tour commissioner on LIV: ‘It’s product versus product’

KAPALUA, Hawaii — PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan described a landscape Sunday of two rival leagues going down different paths, even as the PGA Tour is still trying to formulate plans for a revamped structure in 2024. The PGA Tour began its year at Kapalua for the Sentry Tournament of Champions. LIV Golf does not resume until Feb. 23-26 at Mayakoba Golf Resort in Mexico, which had hosted a PGA Tour event every year since 2007. Since the Tour Championship, the PGA Tour suspended six more players — including British Open champion Cameron Smith and Joaquin Niemann — for signing deals to play with LIV Golf. Outside the ropes, there’s the matter of LIV’s antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour, and the Tour's countersuit against LIV.
