Look at Tiger Woods saying good morning… from the golf course!
Tiger Woods is swinging golf clubs again. It’s not at a tournament, or what even looks like a practice round, but a club is technically making contact with a ball.

Naomi Osaka’s decision to withdraw from the French Open has sparked necessary conversation about athletes and mental health.

Old Man Mickelson becomes oldest golfer to win a major

PGA's Triplett, Whose Son is Black, Says Change 'Needs to Come from All Sides,' Adds BLM Logo to Bag
The community that makes up the world of golf is largely conservative, white men over 50 years old.

The PGA Championship: Why it Matters and What to Watch For
