CHARLOTTE — The 14th Presidents Cup is in the books, the Americans won again after a few nervous moments on Sunday, and now that the victorying/celebrating/exhaling has wound down from Quail Hollow, we can try to answer a few of the most pressing questions that remain. Let’s jump right in, true or false style. True

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

Sep 25, 2022 ESPN News Services CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Americans won the Presidents Cup again, no asterisk needed. Sure, the International team lost at least four players — maybe more — who defected to Saudi-funded LIV Golf and were deemed ineligible by the PGA Tour. It had eight rookies asked to play a new

It was Danielle Kang’s brother who broke the news in June. At the U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles, Alex Kang posted on Instagram that his sister was playing with a spinal tumor. Until then fans understood the 29-year-old LPGA veteran was suffering from back pain, but it wasn’t until that post that they knew

9:34 PM ET Associated Press ROGERS, Ark. — Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand birdied the second playoff hole to beat Danielle Kang and win the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship on Sunday. The victory made the 19-year-old the first LPGA Tour player in five years to win twice in her rookie season. Sung Hyun Park posted multiple

CHARLOTTE — The United States celebrated its ninth straight win in the Presidents Cup on Sunday at Quail Hollow Club with beer, cigars and laughter, and rightfully so for dispatching a young and inexperienced—and yes, short-handed—International team that did more than just serve as an accommodating foil. They did the Americans a favor. Despite fielding

10:50 PM ET Associated Press PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Steve Flesch birdied the 18th hole at Pebble Beach on Sunday to win the Pure Insurance Championship, his second PGA Tour Champions victory of the season. Flesch birdied the first four holes and five on the front nine in a strong start, then stalled on the

CHARLOTTE — The 14th edition of the Presidents Cup turned out far more competitive than most golf fans thought it would be. Despite missing star LIV Golf recruits Cameron Smith and Joaquin Niemann, who were banned by the PGA Tour, the Cup was not officially over until 5:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, with the U.S.

The U.S. team captured the Presidents Cup again, taking down the International team 17½ to 12½ at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday. It was the Americans’ ninth straight victory and 12th in 14 editions of the event. Over five days, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas emerged as the face of American

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. It was 25-year-old Migliozzi’s third European Tour win, his first for three years,

CHARLOTTE — The bad news for International team captain Trevor Immelman and his band of 12 gritty golfers is that the final-day comebacks in the Presidents Cup are exceedingly rare. In the 13 previously playings of the matches, the trailing team entering Sunday singles has flipped the script and won only once, and that happened

Sep 22, 2022 Associated Press Rasmus Hojgaard equalled the course record with his nine-under-par round of 62 to hold a two shot lead after the opening round of the Open de France on Thursday. Alexander Bjork lies in second place at seven-under par after an impressive round that included no dropped shots. Paul Barjou is

CHARLOTTE — They said it six times. So, we have to believe them. The American team left Quail Hollow Club Saturday night “pissed off.” And they had reason to be. Leading 8-2 after the first two days of the 14th Presidents Cup, the U.S. looked like it would waltz to its ninth straight victory over

2:25 PM ET Associated Press Rasmus Hojgaard holds a slender one-shot lead over George Coetzee at the Open de France after making a terrible start to his third round and ending with a 3-over 74 on Saturday. The Danish player had a six-shot lead overnight, but he slipped from 15-under to 12-under. Coetzee — a

CHARLOTTE — If you or I happened to split our pants in a very public manner, much less twice in one week, that would likely define our image for some time to come. But in the case of Tom Kim, the 20-year-old South Korean spark plug who has emerged as a kind of high-energy typhoon

12:40 PM ET Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The International team battled to a draw Saturday morning in the Presidents Cup. The way this week has gone, it almost felt like a win. The Korean duo of Tom Kim and K.H. Lee won two late holes and closed out Masters champion Scottie Scheffler and Sam
