Jordan Spieth won three majors in the span of two years, setting off on an incredible pace early in his professional golf career. However, it's been nearly seven years since Spieth last won a major, at the 2017 Open Championship.

He's gone back-to-back twice already this season, and he's earned nearly $20 million in on-course ..read more

In fact, Woods said his daughter doesn't have a positive view of golf. "She has, I think, a negative connotation to the game," Woods said. "Because ..read more

For probably an equal number of players, their problem with short-game shots is all in their approach. They're not thinking about the shot in the right ..read more
