With 3 wins including the prestigious The Players Championship and a 5th place end of year World Ranking, Rickie Fowler had the best year of his professional life in 2015. Before last season, the 27 year-old had only 1 career…
Welcome to my 4th annual Frankengolfer column – where I choose which PGA player I want to be on the golf course in four major areas of the sport based on the stats from the previous season. I don’t necessarily…
As a fan of the PGA, I may be an anomaly. I love watching golf not just on Sundays, but on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, too. I enjoy the small tournaments, all the way through to the majors. Even European…
