      Garcia Clinches Players Championship Win

      Sergio Garcia ended the longest victory drought of his career today by making a clutch par putt to force a playoff, and then adding another par on the TPC Sawgrass' notorious island green 17th hole to defeat Paul Goydos in The Players Championship. Goydos, playing in the final group, missed a 15-foot par putt on the last hole for the win and closed with a 74. More »

      Goydos Takes Rare PGA Lead

      Paul Goydos would love to say he saw this coming, but he's too honest. He had never broken 70 in nine previous appearances at The Players Championship, yet a 2-under 70 today made him the only player to break par all three days on the TPC Sawgrass and gave him a one-shot lead over Kenny Perry.

      Anthony Kim Takes Wachovia

      Knee surgery prevented Tiger Woods from attempting to defend his Wachovia Championship title. Anthony Kim didn't disappoint fans at Quail Hollow Club looking for Tiger-like brilliance. In a near flawless performance yesterday, the 22-year-old Kim became the youngest winner on the PGA Tour in six years. The former NCAA freshman of the year at Oklahoma won't turn 23 until next month.

      Kim Roars to 4-shot Lead

      Quail Hollow Club's tree-lined, old-style setup has produced an impressive list of winners, ranging from Vijay Singh to Jim Furyk to last year's champion, Tiger Woods. With Woods unable to defend his Wachovia Championship title following knee surgery, Anthony Kim moved a step away from joining that elite group, a month shy of his 23rd birthday. More »

      Anyone But Masters Leads at Augusta

      As Tiger Woods finds himself six strokes back going into today's concluding round of the Augusta Masters tournament, ESPN takes a look at the unlikely foursome at the top of the leaderboard. Trevor Immelman is four months removed from a hospital visit, Brandt Snedeker is practically still a rookie, Steve Flesch barely made the cut, and Paul Casey has never cracked sixth place in a Masters tourney.

      Tiger Woods uttered eight words today that every other player on the PGA Tour dreads hearing heading into the final round of an event: "I've played my way back into the tournament." Woods' 4-under 66 in third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational allowed him to grab a piece of the five-way tie at the top, reports the Associated Press. Woods has won Palmer's tourney four times previously. More »

      Mickelson Secures Win at Riviera

      The West Coast has been kind to Phil Mickelson over the years: of his 33 career wins, 16 of which came in PGA Tour Western stops. His latest victory, a two-shot win over Jeff Quinney, came at the Northern Trust Open today. A win at Riviera Country Club is a feat neither Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus has ever accomplished.  More »

      Tiger Holds Lead at Sandy Dubai

      It wasn't pretty but he'll take it, as Tiger Woods overcame the distractions of clicking cameras, high winds, and blowing sand to retain a one-shot lead after two rounds in the Dubai Desert Classic. The putter was his nemesis in round two, as it was in this tournament last year, as he missed several 10- and 12-footers, reports the AP. More »
