The PGA Tour takes a detour this week in more ways than one. The gang travels to Austin, Tex., to compete in the second World Golf Championship of the season, this one being the Dell Technologies Match Play, which returns to the schedule after being canceled due to COVID concerns last year. The field of 64 players is divided into 16 groups of four going against... 

After saying hello to the Florida Swing last year, the Honda Classic says goodbye with this week’s playing closing the door on four straight tournaments in the Sunshine State. And the field will go out with a bang looking to tame the Champion Course at PGA National Resort and Spa, one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour. Stuck between THE PLAYERS and the WGC-Match Play, a number of ... 

With the theatrics of THE PLAYERS Championship behind us and the WGC Match Play on the horizon, a number of PGA Tour superstars are skipping this year’s edition of the Honda Classic. Not to worry though, there are a handful of big names at the top of the board this week looking to tame the Champion Course at PGA National Resort and Spa. Defending champ Sungjae Im will attempt to become ... 

Often referred to as the fifth Major, THE PLAYERS Championship attracts the world’s best golfers thanks in part to its enormous prize pool and cool $2.7 million to the winner, which also adds plenty of incentive. All but two of the top 50 players in the world are slated to peg it up at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach this week with a chance to claim the most lucrative pa... 

While it’s not officially a major, THE PLAYERS Championship has often been referred to as the PGA Tour’s fifth major.

It’s not a major but it sure has the feel of one with a star-studded field assembled for the first World Golf Championship of the year, the WGC Workday Championship at The Concession. It’s a familiar event in an unfamiliar setting thanks to COVID forcing the event to be relocated to Bradenton, Fla. from its usual stop in Mexico. The Concession Golf Club makes its debut ... 

With the bigger names in the golfing world teeing it up this week at the WGC in Florida, the alternate field Puerto Rico Open doesn’t have the splash. But it does have a highly-competitive field of golfers lower down the PGA Tour food chain looking to pick up some valuable FedExCup points and a Tour title belt. We’ll also see a number of Korn Ferry Tour stars try and make the leap. Eig... 

Held as an alternate field event alongside the WGC at The Concession, the Puerto Rico Open didn’t attract the biggest names in the golfing community. But there are FedExCup points, a nice payout to the winner and, of course, a PGA Tour title at stake. A number of past PGA Tour winners, rising young stars looking for their first Tour victory, and the top performers from the Korn Ferry Tour make up the field. Ian Poulter is the highest ranked player in the field, but Thomas Pieters emerged as the betting favorite with odds suggesting a wide-open field. Five past winners of the PRO are scheduled to tee it up with the most recent being Martin Trainor in 2019.

The PGA Tour makes the short trek down the California coast to Pacific Palisades for this week’s Genesis Invitational. The status change means a smaller field, but it’s a stacked lineup with world No. 1 and betting favorite Dustin Johnson ready to peg it up after skipping the festivities at Pebble Beach. In all eight of the OWGR’s top-10 players are set to take a twirl around famed Riviera Country Club with Adam Scott back to defend his title.

The biggest party on the PGA Tour won’t be as big this week, but at least there will be fans in attendance at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

The atmosphere will be more subdued thanks to COVID, but that hasn’t prevented a star-studded field from making the trip to the Arizona desert for this week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open. There will be some fans in the gallery this week, though, as the event is planning to allow fewer than 5,000 people onto the course. They should be treated to some spectacular golf... 

We won’t see Tiger Woods at this week’s Farmers Insurance Open, but we do get the strongest full field of the year with 10 of the world’s top-20 golfers teeing it up at iconic Torrey Pines. And that means plenty of wagering opportunities on tournament matchups. Sidelined after back surgery, the debut of Woods, a seven-time winner of this event, will have to wait. We will se... 

Things are starting to heat up on the PGA Tour with a top-notch field ready to tee it up at this week’s Famers Insurance Open.
