8:09 AM ET SANDWICH, England — Like it did with everything else, COVID-19 turned golf upside down. In 2020, there was no Open. The Masters was in August. The PGA Championship was back in August, where it normally fell before being moved to May the year before. The U.S. Open was in September. Instead of

8:11 AM ET In your head, this should sound like a bad, over-the-top game show host … Hey everybody, it’s the waaaay-too-early major championship predictions for 2022! I’ll give you all the picks that have zero chance of coming true but are great for starting arguments! And what’s the first big one I’m gonna give

It’s easy to forget that he’s a kid. He

4:23 PM ET SANDWICH, England — He waved to the crowd, clapped his show of appreciation and then stepped to the microphone like he’s been giving speeches for years. Collin Morikawa might have called it the “British Open,” but he nonetheless handled the ceremony as coolly as he did Royal St. George’s. Morikawa is just

Just a few hours earlier, he’d been standing on the 17th fairway at Royal St. George’s, 60

After missing out on the Open Championship last year, we deserved a great tournament. Sunday, we’ll get exactly that.  The 149th Open Championship will conclude with a trio of golf’s finest talents — Louis Oosthuizen, Collin Morikawa and Jordan Spieth — dueling for the Claret Jug. They stand a stroke clear of the field after

Louis Oosthuizen finds himself in contention yet again at a major championship after two sensational rounds at the 2021 Open Championship. Oosthuizen set the 36-hole scoring record at the Open Championship after shooting 64-65 in the first two rounds at Royal St. George’s Golf Club. The 38-year-old sits atop the 2021 Open Championship leaderboard at

If it’s the middle of a major, Louis Oosthuizen must be atop the leaderboard.  The South African and 2010 Open Championship winner once again torched a tame Royal St. George’s on Friday, carding a -5 to go with Thursday’s -6 for a two-stroke lead on the field. That sets up yet another weekend where Oosthuizen

11:36 AM ET Tyrrell Hatton has never been shy about showing his emotions. On Friday, that was clear. After missing a putt at The Open, Hatton walked toward the hole and flipped off a member of the gallery. The middle-finger salute was caught on camera during the broadcast and was in plain sight as he

Sergio Garcia may want to try arriving to the course late more often. Garcia got stuck in a traffic jam on his way to Royal St. George’s on Thursday and needed a police escort to get to the course in time for his opening round at the British Open. When he walked off the course

They’ve each got a single Open Championship victory, but the narratives around Jordan Spieth and Louis Oosthuizen are very different.  Spieth, the onetime Golden Child, has rediscovered his form after four years spent wandering in golf’s wilderness. Oosthuizen, meanwhile, never lost his form … if we define “form” as “runner-up, time and time and time

Getty Images Coming off his first career major championship last month at the U.S. Open and a seventh-place finish at the Scottish Open over the weekend,  Jon Rahm will look to capitalize on his momentum at the 2021 Open Championship this week.

5:00 AM ET For the first time in his career, at this Open, Spain’s Jon Rahm will tee off at a major championship on Thursday morning without the burden of having never won one. After winning his first at last month’s U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, Rahm will attempt to become only the seventh player

Golf’s final major of the year is here. The Open Championship, also known as the British Open, kicks off Thursday at Royal St. George’s Golf Club in Sandwich, Kent, England. The last Open contested at this course was in 2011, won by Darren Clarke, and before that Ben Curtis won in 2003. After being canceled

The way Brooks Koepka sees it, taking shots at Bryson DeChambeau is “fair game.” Koepka, speaking at Royal St George’s ahead of this week’s British Open, elaborated again on the feud between the two that has dominated the golf world in recent months. The whole thing started back at Liberty National for The Northern Trust,

Betting golf can be really intimidating if you are new to the market. Heck, even if you aren’t new, choosing an outright winner out of over 130 players is a tall task. To do it weekly? Even tougher. There are other betting markets that offer more value in terms of long-term profitability. Here’s a look

U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm is favored to get another major win. Rahm won the first major of his career at Torrey Pines in June. And now he leads the field at the British Open with +750 odds to win the fourth and final major of 2021. Rahm is the most-bet player at BetMGM. He
