Held in conjunction with the WGC Mexico Championship, the Puerto Rico Open didn’t attract the big names, but there are FedEx Cup points and a nice purse to go along with a PGA Tour title at stake. The event was cancelled last year with the assistance of Hurricane Maria, but the Coco Beach Golf and Country Club is set to resume hosting the tournament for some of the lesser known talents on Tour.... 

With the West Coast swing of the season put to rest the PGA Tour heads south of the border for this week’s playing of the WGC Mexico Championship in Naucalpan, Mexico. The limited field of 72 golfers features some of the best in the world with 17 of the top-20 ranked players scheduled to peg it up at the Club de Golf Chapultepec. Tiger Woods has turned this event into his own playground with seven titles spread over the different venues since the inception in 1999, but none since the Mexico stop... 

Would you expect anything less than a star-studded lineup in Tinseltown? That’s what we have with 14 of the top-20 ranked players in the world teeing it up this week at the Genesis Open, hosted by the iconic Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades. Much like last week, the elements will be a factor with rain in the forecast. That didn’t prevent Phil Mickelson from taking home his record-tying fifth Pebble Beach title. Lefty and the rest of the field make the short trip south with the PGA Tour ... 

After reaching into Monday to finish off the Pebble Beach Pro Am, it’s a short turnaround for the boys on the PGA Tour. At least they don’t have to travel far, just a short jaunt down the coast to Pacific Palisades for the Genesis Open, contested at the famed Riviera Country Club. The legendary course brings out a legendary field with 14 of the world’s top-20 players competing for the hardware.... 

It’s off to the coast of California this week for the PGA Tour with a stop at one of the most breathtaking venues in all of golf when the pros and celebrity amateurs tee it up at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, hosted by the Pebble Beach Golf Links. The pro-am format increases the number of players and requires the field to compete over three different courses with a cut after the third round and Sunday’s final on the iconic layout. The event has surprised us in the past with last year a prime... 

Pebble Beach Golf Links plays host to its namesake event, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am, when the PGA Tour moves from the desert to the California Coast. With a full field of pros and celebrity amateurs, the four-day event will be spread across three courses with the field attacking each one over the first three days. The cut down will be made after 54 holes and the remaining players will compete for the title on Sunday at Pebble Beach.... 

With a good portion of the country blanketed in snow and freezing temperatures, the Waste Management Phoenix Open might attract more fans than usual when the PGA Tour stops in the desert for this week’s event. Playing alongside the prestigious Saudi International on the Euro Tour, and over Super Bowl weekend, the tournament has a solid field of competitors. Once again Jon Rahm is the betting favorite, topping the odds board at BookMaker.eu for a third straight tournament at +605. Phil Mickelson ... 

While most of the midwest and eastern states are suffering through a weather episode known as a polar vortex, the PGA Tour will tee it up in perfect weather this week at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Always a popular stop on the tour the event typically attracts a strong field, and this year is no different. Gary Woodland is back to defend his title on the TPC Scottsdale layout, as is Hideki Matsuyama, who pulled out of last year’s playing with an injury, ending his chance at a three-peat.... 

The season debut of Tiger Woods highlights this week’s stop on the PGA Tour when the gang gets together in San Diego for the Farmers Insurance Open. Woods has won the event seven times and conquered the Torrey Pines South Course to win the 2008 U.S. Open. We won’t see a battle between Tiger and Phil Mickelson, however, as Lefty opted to sit this one out. All eyes will be on Tiger, though, as he tees it up for the first time since the Hero World Challenge. Defending champion Jason Day and tournam... 

Staying in the Golden State, the PGA Tour tees it up at the Farmers Insurance Open this week but will be doing so without Phil Mickelson for the first time in over two decades. Lefty called out on his hometown event since he isn’t a big fan of the Torrey Pines South Course layout following a renovation that massively increased the length. We will see Tiger Woods make his season debut and the field isn’t lacking star power with a number of high-profile players among the field.... 

A return stateside has the PGA Tour getting the West Coast swing of the season underway in La Quinta, Calif. with the playing of the Desert Classic. Two weeks in Hawai’i got the field primed for another resort destination, and we are expected to have a large group of golfers with 156 players scheduled to compete. The four-day event gets underway Thursday with the first three rounds played across three different courses. Sunday’s final round will be contested on the Stadium Course at PGA West.... 

Following a two week stay in Hawai’i, the PGA Tour returns to the states for the first time in 2019 with the Desert Classic in La Quinta, Calif. There are 156 players scheduled to compete over three courses, but more doesn’t necessarily mean better. With higher-profile tournaments stacked on the schedule starting next week up until The Masters, the quality of the field has dropped slightly. The field will play each of the first three rounds on a different course in a pro-am format with the cut t... 

The PGA Tour stays in Hawai’i and expands the field for the Sony Open in Hawai’i, which gets underway on Thursday, January 10 at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu. For the first time in a few months we’ll have a full field of 144 golfers with 22 making the trip to Oahu from Maui after competing in last week’s Sentry Tournament of Champions. A larger field means more betting opportunities and BookMaker.eu has ple... 

The PGA Tour is off and running in the new year, although it isn’t running very far. After opening 2019 last week in Maui, the Tour moves to the Big Island for the Sony Open in Hawaii, contested at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu. And unlike last week’s invitation-only event that featured 34 players, the field expands to 144 competitors this week with the cut rule back in place.... 

A collection of PGA Tour winners from the past 12 months assemble in Hawai’i for the Sentry Tournament of Champions, contested on the Plantation Course at Kapalua starting on Thursday, January 3. Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose are sitting this one out, but the event isn’t lacking for star power. World No. 1 Brooks Koepka is scheduled to compete, but could lose his top ranking if he doesn’t perform well. De... 

The Holiday break is over and it’s back to work as the PGA Tour opens the New Year in Hawai’i for the playing of the Sentry Tournament of Champions at the Plantation Course in Kapalua. The invitation-only event had 37 players on the guest list, however, Justin Rose, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson elected to skip the tournament. Anyone who won an official PGA Tour event over the past 12 months was invited and those that... 

The end of the year fun and frivolity continues on the golf course as 12 two-player teams vie for the title at the 30th QBE Shootout, contested at the Tiburon Golf Club Gold Course in Naples, Florida, and hosted by Greg Norman. The event consists of three rounds beginning on Friday with each round played in a different stroke-play format. The opening round will be a scramble, followed by alternate shot format on Saturday. Final round play will be better ball.... 

How about a collection of 18 of the finest golfers in the world competing against each other for $3.5 million in prize money? That’s what we have this week at the Hero World Challenge when the invitation-only field tees it up at the Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas. The elite field includes world No. 1 Justin Rose, four of the top five and 16 of the top 28 ranked players according to OWGR.... 

If you get bored of watching football and stuffing your face with leftover turkey sandwiches, there’s always the made-for-TV golf event that pits two of the best to ever play the game. Unfortunately it comes about 10 years too late for Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Viewers can only watch on a pay-per-view basis, and it would have been so much nicer if the two ponied up their own money for the $9 million winner take all prize.... 

As the PGA Tour goes into hibernation for the Holiday months, there is no reason to fret because the golfing world is headed down under for the ISPS Handa Melbourne World Cup of Golf, to be contested at the Metropolitan Golf Club in Melbourne, Australia beginning Thanksgiving Day. ... 

A rather lackluster field of 156 golfers gathers for the final leg of the PGA Tour before breaking for the Holiday season. The field will contend for the hardware at The RSM Classic, hosted by the Sea Island Golf Club at St. Simons Island, Georgia. Golfers will play to the cut line at the Seaside and Plantation Courses with the survivors returning to the more familiar Seaside layout over the weekend. Tour Championship winner and world No. 20 Webb Simpson is the betting favorite and the event fea... 

The final stop on the PGA Tour before breaking for the Holiday season takes place this week in St. Simons Island, Georgia, when the expanded field competes in The RSM Classic. A total of 156 players will reach the cut line playing across two courses at Sea Island Golf Club with the survivors playing the final two rounds on the more familiar Seaside layout. Although some of the world’s top players are skipping the event, there is plenty of intrigue on the betting lines.... 

A good mix of veterans and young players head the field for this week’s stop on the PGA Tour, which heads south of the border to Mexico for the playing of the Mayakoba Golf Classic, one of the last stops before the Tour goes on winter break. Many of the Tour’s high-profile players will be absent leaving Rickie Fowler as the headliner. And he has some unfinished business at the El Camaleon Golf Club after finishing second by a stroke in last year’s event. Fowler opened as the betting favorite at ... 

Following a quick stop in Vegas the PGA Tour regains its international flair with a trip south of the border to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for the Mayakoba Golf Classic, hosted by the El Camaleon Golf Club. It’s the next to last FedEx Cup points event of the year and many of the big names will be absent when the first-round tees off on Thursday, November 5, but overall the field is one of the strongest in the event’s... 

Back in the states after three-week tour of Asia, the PGA Tour is in Las Vegas for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, hosted at TPC Summerlin.
