We may be closer to getting an answer, even if it still leaves nearly

12:14 AM ET The controversial LIV Golf circuit has signed many big names and sparked widespread conversation over the last several months, but one thing it hasn’t had is a deal to broadcast its events on television.

We all know Lydia Ko, the golfer. With 23 career wins at age 25, Ko’s time on the course has been documented better than her time away from it. “I love cooking,” said Ko. “I feel like it’s very different from golf, and I actually like spending time in the kitchen. Sometimes, my mom or

It is one of golf’s hoariest clichés, up there with “stepped up to the plate,” “touch of a surgeon” and “ball-striking machine.” Holes/rounds/tournaments containing an element of inconsistency—ups, downs and everything in-between—are routinely and lazily covered by the snooze-inducing phrase, “roller-coaster ride.” But how else can we describe Rasmus Hojgaard’s week at the Cazoo Open

1:56 PM ET Associated Press Guido Migliozzi beat Rasmus Hojgaard by one shot to win the Open de France after the Italian produced a stunning nine birdies to tie the course record with a 9-under 62 in the final round on Sunday.
