After a thrilling week in Charlotte for the year’s second major, the PGA Tour now returns to a far more serious golf course at the newly...

The PGA Championship heads to Charlotte, North Carolina and familiar territory in Quail Hollow Golf Club, the annual host of the Wells Fargo Championship. Quail Hollow was also host to the 2017 PGA Championship, which was won by Justin Thomas at eight under par. Storylines are abound this week, as Rory McIlroy will look to capitalize on a potential “floodgates” situation after finally capturing the green jacket. Scottie Scheffler also enters the week as Rory’s co-favorite, an

The Truist Championship heads to Philadelphia Cricket Club this week, as its regular home, Quail Hollow, will be hosting the PGA...

The PGA Tour returns to individual stroke play this week with the CJ Cup honoring Byron Nelson. For the fifth consecutive year, this event will be held at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. Quite simply, the PGA Tour has now soft admitted on multiple occasions that this is not a golf course of high enough quality to host a PGA Tour event. After playing as one of the five easiest golf courses on the schedule in 2021 and 2022, the par was changed to 71 instead of 72, in an eff

Good morning! Andy is taking a well-deserved break this week, so there won't be a full Zurich Classic course breakdown. Fortunately, because I'm an obsessive editor who hates deleting things, I've got some of Andy's old writeups on TPC Louisiana, so I've taken some of those write-ups and put them together so those of you who are looking for a deep-dive on the Zurich will have some information. The course doesn't appear to have changed much (it's still playing to exactly 7,425

There's always a natural exhale after The Masters, which makes the decision to host a Signature Event in the following week that much more confounding. I understand this from a geography standpoint. I made the drive myself from Augusta to Hilton Head last year. It's certainly not inconvenient. Yet at the same time, doesn't this feel like the perfect week to host the Zurich Classic? Let fans exhale, miss real competition for a week, and then position your 'Signature Event' as

Hello, friends.

The Valero Texas Open is one of the longest-running tournaments on the PGA Tour, dating all the way back to 1922. As of 2017, the event has been managed by Wasserman Media Group (I was a former intern!), and it has been played in the San Antonio area since inception. It is the longest-held PGA Tour event in the same city, and while the tournament has moved around to multiple venues in the greater San Antonio area, we have been coming to TPC San Antonio since 2009. In 2019, th

The PGA Tour heads to Houston for the Texas Children's Houston Open, which will be returning to Spring for the second year in a row after a few editions in the Fall swing. Memorial Park will be the host course for the fifth consecutive year, an undisputed upgrade from the Golf Club of Houston, which couldn’t even stay in the LIV rotation! I am far more partial to Memorial Park, particularly given my affinity for Tom Doak. While many of the PGA Tour's best players are in full

The PGA Tour heads to Tampa this week for the final stop in a four-week Florida swing. While I don't think that the Valspar Championship is the best Florida event, it might be the most underrated. The field strength has been up and down over the years amid multiple scheduling changes. While most of the best players in the world are now in full-on Masters mode, we'll still get one more look at Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Tommy Fleetwood, Sam Burns, Shane L

The PGA Tour returns to the swamp for its flagship event, the All-Caps PLAYERS Championship. This event now features the highest purse in golf, a whopping 25 million, which has doubled since 2019. The field consists of 144 players and remains the strongest non-major championship field of the year. The host venue is the iconic TPC Sawgrass, designed by Pete Dye in 1980. Scottie Scheffler will look to become the first player in its 40-year history to win three Players Champions

After a disappointing #NotMyHonda, I’m tentatively excited for the fourth signature event of the season, the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The API will receive the signature banner for the second year in a row, and the 72-man field is one of the few signature events that will also feature a cut. Similar to the Genesis Invitational, only the top 50 players and ties will advance to the weekend, which feels fairly nonsensical to me. Regardless, Bay Hill is one of the best tests of

The Cognizant Classic opens one of my favorite stretches of golf on the PGA Tour, the Florida swing, known for its firm and grainy Bermuda greens, copious water hazards, and swirling winds. Yet for reasons unbeknownst to myself, the PGA Tour has attempted to re-brand the previous Honda Classic as another 15- to 20-under-par approach and putting contest. In a sign of solidarity, for the ethos of the Honda Classic, we will quietly support the Honda of old while not standing for

After a torrid start to the season, the PGA Tour takes a natural exhale for the Mexico Open at Vidanta Vallarta, a logical exhale for many of the game’s best players. This event will unquestionably feature our most underwhelming field of the season. Yet with more lesser-known players comes a stronger reliance on data and often a greater edge. My most financially successful part of the season has historically been the Fall swing, after all. Even with such an underwhelming fiel

With the Genesis Invitational being moved from iconic Riviera due to the California Wildfires, I find myself tortuously diving into my complicated relationship with Torrey Pines for the second time in four weeks. Yes, the PGA Tour will be returning to the San Diego coast again, although this time under the Signature Event structure: 70 players, no cut, four rounds on the daunting South course. For my full thoughts on Torrey Pines, my 3,000-word-plus preview from two weeks ago

The PGA Tour heads to Phoenix this week for the Waste Management Phoenix Open, one of the only events on the schedule with a distinct personality. Consistently the highest attended and rowdiest tournament of the season, the “Waste” (as we like to call it) is pure, unadulterated fun—although it seemingly rubbed right against the fine line between fun and shitshow last year. Yet this isn’t simply one of my favorite weeks from an energy and viewing standpoint, TPC Scottsdale has

For the second year in a row, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will play as a Signature event, featuring a field of 80 players. While this debut format at Pebble Beach didn’t truly get to realize its potential with the final round being canceled to an atmospheric river in Northern California, 2025 should provide the Sunday battle at Pebble Beach without amateurs we have always been hoping for. Prior to last year, Pebble Beach was a Pro-Am event with a cut, where players rotated t

The PGA Tour heads to beautiful La Jolla, California this week for the Farmer’s Insurance Open, a staple on the PGA Tour since 1952. It was not held at Torrey Pines (simultaneously one of the greatest architectural travesties and most beautiful walks in the country) until 1968, a public golf facility owned by the city of San Diego. I go to this event every single year, and I am extremely familiar with the golf course. I'll get into my architectural qualms below, but Torrey re

The PGA Tour heads to sunny Palm Springs for the American Express, the first stop in the West Coast swing. The event was previously five rounds of competition, known for its celebrity pro-am hosted by Bob Hope. In 2012, the event changed to a traditional 72-hole format across three different courses with a 54-hole cut, not dissimilar to the AT&T Pebble Pro-Am.
