Jordan Spieth has revealed a new scare regarding his previously injured left wrist, raising concerns among fans and analysts alike. While the golfer has made progress since December surgery, any resurgence of pain could jeopardize his return to the PGA Tour.
At the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, the second day was dramatically altered by fierce winds howling at 30 to 40 miles per hour. Jon Rahm has seized the solo lead after two rounds, but many players faced a tough battle with errant shots, highlighted by Matthew Wolff’s back-to-back sevens. Rory McIlroy remarked that the conditions rendered any strategic planning nearly impossible, as the relentless wind dictated every move on the course
Tee Box Modifications for Junior Golfers at PNC Championship Pro-Am
At the PNC Championship Pro-Am, the tee boxes have been adjusted to accommodate the young participants. Charlie Woods, the 13-year-old son of Tiger Woods, is among those who will benefit from these modifications.
The tee markers have been moved up to approximately 3,500 yards for the junior golfers, allowing them to hit shorter shots and focus on developing their swings.
These modifications ensure that all participants, regardless of age or skill level, can enjoy the tournament and showcase their golf abilities.
Tiger and Charlie Woods captivated everyone at the PNC Championship Pro-Am with an impressive 59, but honestly, it was to be expected.
This dynamic father-son duo has been honing their skills together for over a year, and their dedication truly shone through on Thursday. Tiger, still on the mend from a car accident, displayed remarkable form, delivering some of the most breathtaking shots of the day.
At just 12 years old, Charlie is already making waves as a gifted golfer, showcasing his remarkable talent at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Orlando, Grande Lakes.
The Woods team wrapped up the day with an astonishing six-stroke lead over their competitors and are now poised as strong favorites to clinch the tournament title
Holders Tiger and Charlie Woods seized a share of the PNC Championship lead on Saturday as they bid to become the first two-time winners of the tournament played between pairs of major winners and family members.
Tiger rolled back the years with a brilliant homeward 31 – including a birdie-birdie-eagle run from the 14th – to leave the pair tied with Team Daly, Team Singh and Team Strange at 14-under 130 halfway through the 36-hole event in Orlando.
Charlie, 13, had earlier birdied the par-five 12th before pars at the tricky 16th and 17th kept the Woods within touching distance of the leaders despite a bogey at the last.
Rafael Campos, new father and tournament leader reflects on Bermuda Championship week: “It’s very exciting to play good golf in conditions that we don’t play very often. It’s just tough. You have a lot of crosswinds, lot of wind, a lot of gusts. It’s definitely made the tournament a lot tougher and it’s going to be tough to win.”
Rickie Fowler’s triumphant return to the winner’s circle at the 2022 Honda Classic marked a significant milestone in his career. However, just a year later, Fowler’s form has waned, leaving his resurgence feeling like a distant memory. Struggling with inconsistency and a lack of confidence, Fowler has fallen to 80th in the world rankings. His once-promising return has faded, leaving questions about his ability to recapture the form that once propelled him to the top of the golf world.
Scottie Scheffler made his worst score of the year in the first round of the Charles Schwab Challenge. He shot a 2-over-par 72, his worst score since the opening round of the Masters. But Scheffler didn’t let that get him down. He bounced back with a 6-under-par 64 in the second round to put himself back in contention.
Scheffler’s resilience is a testament to his mental toughness. He’s one of the most mentally strong players on tour, and he’s always able to stay positive even when things aren’t going his way. That’s a valuable asset in golf, where rounds can turn on a dime.
Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are among the leaders after the first round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The Northern Irish and Irish duo shot a 6-under 66 in alternate-shot format on Thursday to sit one stroke off the pace set by Americans Trey Mullinax and Scott Stallings. McIlroy and Lowry made seven birdies and one bogey at TPC Louisiana, including four birdies on the back nine. They are tied for second place with four other teams, including defending champions Billy Horschel and Sam Burns.
The Zurich Classic of New Orleans is a team event in which players compete in alternate-shot and four-ball formats. The tournament is being played for the first time since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
