Ah, yes. It’s April. The azaleas are blooming in Georgia, and predictions are flowing about who might win the Masters. But this year is different.
Hughes Norton, one of the original SuperAgents of IMG, made Tiger Woods a rich man. What’s more, thanks to Norton, Woods never had to win a golf tournament to get his first $60 million, an unheard-of amount in golf.
Ann Liguori has more energy than six people put together, and she brings it to all her interviews, which are the basis for her latest book, Life on The Green: Lessons and Wisdom from Legends of Golf.
Many have looked down their noses at THE PLAYERS Championship over the years because it wasn’t created by one of the other golf associations, but if Scheffler.
Xander Schauffele was brilliant, firing a 65 when he needed to. As a result, he made up the four-stroke deficit that he had after 36 holes and then some.
Seven years ago, Maverick McNealy was No. 1 in the Amateur Ranks, a Stanford grad with a management and engineering specialty. There was speculation about whether he would ever become a professional player.
Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele are tied at 7-under par with half the field finished at The Players. Both of them had issues with the 7th hole on Thursday.
It seems the only topics at The Players are SSG and PIF, but other things are being talked about.

At THE PLAYERS, PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan was pressed for answers on the proposed entity between the Tour, SSG, and PIF.
There are at least seven golfers who have a good chance to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Another three are not out of it. In other words, it is still anybody’s tournament to win which makes it very exciting.
Today, Bay Hill played the way we presume Palmer wanted it. Tough layout. Tough rough. Tough greens. A manly golf course.
On Friday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Rory McIlroy perhaps invited a future brouhaha with his answer to a question about PGA Tour Signature Events.
Brandishing clothing with the Palmer umbrella logo on hats, shirts, shoes, jewelry, and more, the second and third generations of Arnie’s Army cheer them on, lining the fairways following their favorites.
The PGA Tour has announced the formation of the 13-member PGA Tour Enterprises Board. It includes nine members from the PGA Tour and four from SSG ( Strategic Sports Group). The 13-member board will lead commercial activities of the PGA Tour.
It sounds ridiculous to hear from Viktor Hovland at the Arnold Palmer Invitational that he doesn’t like what his swing is doing.
If there’s one thing PGA Tour players at the Arnold Palmer Invitational are in agreement about, it’s the difficulty of the course setup at this Signature Event. Not that it was easy before it had that designation. You only have to go back and watch Tiger
Rickie Fowler, Rory, and Rose are the headliners in this week’s Cognizant Classic which has a history of winners that includes Nicklaus and Miller, both of whom won twice.
OK, it wasn’t called Cognizant at the time. It was the Honda Classic, but what made it special for Rory McIlroy in 2012 was that he beat Tiger Woods. And it wasn’t easy because Woods made a back nine charge.
For at least two years, Rory McIlroy was the outward voice of reason for the PGA Tour and for golfers who remained with the PGA Tour while some were joining LIV. Now the baton has been passed to Tiger Woods.
