ATLANTA -- There probably was more scoreboard watching done by the players at East Lake on Thursday than there has been during the first round of any other event this season.

ATLANTA -- This week, the European Tour announced a new series of slow-play rules designed to identify and more severely punish those players who gum up the works.

In a Tuesday sit-down with selected media, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said his organization would not be prodded to additional action by the moves overseas.

When Justin Thomas won the 2017 FedEx Cup he was just about as unhappy as a dude could be who just earned $10 million. Because, it seems, he's a bit OCD about this winning thing.

He had made this lovely little charge on that Sunday, with birdies on Nos. 16 and 17, and just missed a birdie on 18. That was good enough to position him to win the ...Read more

ATLANTA -- Justin Thomas needs to get a few strokes from the field like Brad Pitt needs another dimple.

You don't let the chip leader see your hole cards. You don't give Mark Zuckerberg a handout. And you sure don't give strokes to a guy who just a few days ago at the BMW Championship shot 61. That's just madness.

Like, when was this 10-time ...Read more

MEDINAH, Ill. -- As Phil Mickelson put it on Twitter, how's this for crazy?

The BMW Championship started on time Sunday, with groups going off the first and 10th tees at 10:19 a.m. Turns out Medinah Country Club can take a punch from Mother Nature.

The course received eight tenths of an inch of rain overnight and in the morning, boosting the ...Read more

MEDINAH, Ill. -- Matt Kuchar was as rooted at East Lake and the Tour Championship as the Bermuda rough. He had made it to eight in a row before the Roundup of a particularly non-descript 2018 got him.

That was but a momentary glitch it turns out. An uncomfortable deviation from the norm. "It's no fun sitting at home watching," said Kuchar, a ...Read more

MEDINAH, Ill. -- The PGA Tour could adopt this slogan for the FedEx Cup playoffs: No chumps allowed.

Those who survived the season-long points race and opening playoff event near Lady Liberty are the tour's best performers. They played like it Thursday at Medinah in the first round of the BMW Championship.

Only two of the field's 69 players ...Read more

Tiger Woods said he feels "so much better" than last week, when he withdrew from the Northern Trust with a strained oblique.

"Played ...Read more
