2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic leaderboard, grades: Rickie Fowler earns long-awaited win No. 6 in playoff

Fowler bested collin morikawa and adam hadwin in a playoff for his first win since the 2019 phoenix open.

Rickie Fowler was back at some point earlier this season. Possibly after the Zozo Championship in October, where he finished T2. Maybe it was after the Phoenix Open in February, when he finished T10 following a mediocre final day. Or perhaps it was when he led the U.S. Open after 54 holes just two weeks ago at Los Angeles Country Club.

"Rickie's back" became official on Sunday, however, when he won the Rocket Mortgage Classic in a playoff over Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin with a birdie on the first hole of bonus play.

Getting there was a grind, both metaphorically through the last four years of not winning PGA Tour events, and literally; Fowler looked to be kicking away this tournament late in the day after he was the heavy favorite going into the final round.

Following a great start to his day, Fowler stalled over the last few hours of his round, making par on 10 straight holes going to the 72nd. On a day when Morikawa shot 64 and Hadwin had jumped past him, Fowler had to birdie the last hole just to get into the playoff. He got it with one of the more clutch shots you'll ever see a professional hit.

Then in the playoff, after a flared drive way out to the right, Fowler once again fired at the pin.

He left himself 12 feet for his first win since February 2019 when he took the Phoenix Open, and he made sure there wouldn't be a 74th hole of the day.

"It's hard to put it all into words," Fowler told CBS Sports' Amanda Renner. "Obviously, a lot of good stuff this year. I've been playing some really good golf. I knew it was just a matter of time with how I've been playing. I've had a couple of tough weekends where I've had a chance ... but at the end of the day getting to hang with Maya and my wife, winning is great but there's a lot more to life than that."

Fowler famously fell outside the top 170 in the world over the last few years and even seemed to flirt with the idea of playing in the LIV Golf league this time 14 months ago. Instead, he doubled down on his swing, returned to old coach, Butch Harmon, and put in the work he needed to become a top-30 golfer in the world once again.

"After a while, Rickie started coming out to Vegas to see me," Harmon told Golf Digest earlier this year , "and we could both see the path back -- even better than before. Golf is a cruel game, and sometimes those bad times, if you can get through them, really help you going forward."

No, the reward for Fowler at the summit of this mountain is not hundreds of millions of dollars, but it is the gratification that comes with once again excelling in your craft. The U.S. Ryder Cup team, which Fowler will almost certainly be a part of now, is not a bad parting gift, either.

What's not being discussed is how much is still at stake this season for the now six-time PGA Tour winner. The Open at Royal Liverpool in three weeks is where Fowler almost won in 2014 over Rory McIlroy, and the FedEx Cup Playoffs loom beyond that. Fowler could still accomplish plenty over the rest of 2023, but make no mistake about what the Rocket Mortgage Classic marked on this Sunday in Detroit. Rickie Fowler is now officially officially back and likely not going anywhere anytime soon. Grade: A+

Below are other grades following the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Challenge: 

T2.   Collin Morikawa (-24):  I said on Saturday that I didn't really care what happened on Sunday, and that remained true even as Morikawa tried to fight his way to the top of the board. This was the type of week everyone has come to expect from Morikawa — amazing from tee to green, and if the putts fall, he's going to win the golf tournament (which he nearly did on Sunday). It's also a bit different than what's been going on with him recently. In three of his previous six starts coming into this week, he had lost strokes either off the tee or (gasp!) with his iron play. This week portends for what could be a strong closing kick to the summer for somebody who has not fallen off quite as much as everyone thinks.  Grade: A-

T40. Ludvig Aberg (-11):  My biggest takeaway from Aberg's nice week is what European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald, who played with Aberg on Thursday and Friday, said about him before the third round.

"He [Donald] told me there have only been a few [players] that he's played with for the very first time that have the 'wow' factor," relayed Nick Dougherty of Golf Channel. "One of them is Rory. That was back in 2008 at the Dunhill Links.

"Now he says Ludvig Aberg is one of those guys as well," Dougherty continued. "He said his driver is a huge weapon, he makes the game look effortless. He added that as long as he continues to show form, he will definitely be considered for the [Ryder Cup] team. ... This guy is going to be a superstar."

Aberg is a total menace with driver in hand— he finished third in the field in strokes-gained off the tee — and is going to be a force. His double-bogey-bogey run late on Saturday took him completely out of the golf tournament, but it was the 65-67 start that has folks buying stock (a lot of it) in what seems like an extremely bright future.  Grade: A+

MC. Justin Thomas (+1):  It's been a no good, very strange year for the two-time major champion. After a few months of struggle, he seemed to turn the corner last week at the Travelers Championship when he got in the mix on the weekend. However, a 76 in Round 1 at Detroit Golf Club paved the way for his third missed cut in his last four PGA Tour starts.

Clearly, he's struggling. Whether that struggle is simply physical or mental (or both) remains to be seen. And though the near future — the Open Championship, FedEx Cup Playoffs and Ryder Cup — do not bring about optimism that J.T. can apply a quick fix to whatever besets him at the moment, he remains undeterred in his quest to once again become the best player int he world.

"Definitely saw a lot of great signs last week and played some really, really good golf those last three days," he said earlier in the week. "I'm just a couple events away from being right there. And a lot of things can happen. The unknown is the fun and bad part about this game, so we'll see where it takes us."

What is true, however, is the old adage that nearly every player who has played at the level J.T. has played at has uttered at some point in their careers: Nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems.  Grade: F

MC. Tony Finau (-1):  The potential U.S. Ryder Cup team did not have the greatest week in Detroit. Since winning Mexico earlier in the year, Finau has more missed cuts (2) than top 25s (1). This is a curiosity that can probably be attributed to the ebbs and flows of professional golf. Unlike J.T., Finau has not dropped off the planet from a statistical standpoint. In fact, he's having one of the best seasons of his career from a strokes-gained perspective. 

It was a fun return for the 2022 champion to Detroit — replete with a bobblehead, menu item and meeting with Chris Webber — but unfortunately it ended much (much) earlier this time around for Finau than it did when he touched off back-to-back wins a little under a year ago at this tournament.  Grade: F

Rickie Fowler is seeking his first win in over four years Sunday.

The 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic concludes on Sunday, July 2, with the final round at Detroit Golf Club. You can find full Round 4 tee times for the Rocket Mortgage Classic at the bottom of this post.

Featured pairing for Round 4

Rickie Fowler is just 18 holes away from his comeback PGA Tour win, but he’ll have plenty of competition for it.

He’ll start Sunday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic at 20 under, one ahead of Adam Hadwin and two clear of Taylor Pendrith.

Due to forecasted inclement weather, the final round is being played in threesomes with groups going off the 1st and 10th tees so that trio will be the final group. Tee times are also being pushed to early morning, with Fowler, Hadwin and Pendrith going off at 8:55 a.m.

Those three aren’t the only ones in contention, however. Among the other chasers , three shots back is feel-good Monday qualifier Peter Kuest and another shot back at 16 under is two-time major winner Collin Morikawa.

The broadcast windows have been adjusted as well due to the weather. You can stream Sunday’s final round via PGA Tour Live on ESPN+ beginning at 6:45 a.m. ET or watch the action on Golf Channel from 9:30-11:15 a.m. ET followed by CBSSports.com from 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. ET. Encore presentations will be shown on Golf Channel and CBS in the traditional 1-3 p.m. and 3-6 p.m. windows.

2022-2023 PGA Tour schedule: Tournaments, dates, purses and venues

The 2022-2023 PGA Tour schedule has been announced, with a significant overhaul to the 48-event docket that golf fans have been accustomed to seeing in recent years.

The most significant changes to the schedule are related to the creation of elevated events and who qualifies for the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Elevated events

The PGA Tour has created a series of elevated events, all of which will have purses of at least $20 million: the Sentry Tournament of Champions, The Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational, The Players, WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, the Masters, the PGA Championship, the Memorial Tournament, the US Open, the Open Championship and the three FedEx Cup playoff events.

FedEx Cup playoff changes

The FedEx Cup playoffs are changing for 2022-2023 as well. The series will remain at three events, but only the top 70 players in the standings at the end of the regular season will qualify, with cuts to 50, then to 30 players after each of the FedEx Cup events.

The BMW Championship will be played this year at Olympia Fields Country Club near Chicago.

One World Golf Championships event left

Since 2009, there have been four World Golf Championships events on the schedule. However, there is now just one on the 2022-2023 schedule: the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in Texas from March 23-27.

PGA Tour Schedule And Results 2023

The PGA Tour schedule for the 2022/23 season is confirmed, and it includes some huge purse increases

• Sign up to Golf Monthly Newsletter Newsletter

The 2022/23 PGA Tour schedule is made up of 47 tournaments comprising 44 regular season events and culminating in the three FedEx Cup Playoffs. 

The most significant changes from last year concern the purses on offer. With LIV Golf expanding its schedule for 2023, the PGA Tour has responded with some huge prize money increases in an attempt to combat the threat.

The purse for the Sentry Tournament of Champions leapt from $8.2m to $15m, while the Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational, Memorial Tournament and WGC-Match Play are to feature total prize pots of $20m - up from $12m. 

At March's Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass , the game's biggest names will compete for a record $25m, while the FedEx St. Jude Championship and BMW Championship have had their purses increased from $15m to $20m. 

Team USA's Ryder Cup standings will also be finalised at the conclusion of the second BMW Championship, while European hopefuls will have until September 3 to qualify automatically for Luke Donald's side.

The WGC-Match Play at Austin Country Club is the only World Golf Championship on the schedule following the announcement of the PGA Tour's 13 "designated events" aimed at getting the best players together more often. The co-sanctioned Genesis Scottish Open in July also returns as part of the DP and PGA Tour's ongoing strategic alliance.

Speaking on the changes, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said: "We’ve heard from our fans and the overwhelming sentiment was that they wanted more consequences for both the FedEx Cup Regular Season and the Playoffs, and to further strengthen events that traditionally feature top players competing head-to-head.

Vanderbilt’s gordon sargent just officially locked up his pga tour card.

• Brentley Romine ,
• Brentley Romine

Gordon Sargent has officially locked up his PGA Tour card for next summer.

In what has for months been a formality, Gordon Sargent satisfied the 20-point requirement for PGA Tour University Accelerated by teeing off in the first round of the World Amateur Team Championship on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi. The 20-year-old Vanderbilt junior will be able to take up full PGA Tour membership upon the conclusion of the NCAA Championship in late May and will then be eligible for open, full-field events for the remainder of the 2024 season and the following season (subject to reshuffles).

“Since winning the NCAA Championship as a freshman, Gordon has consistently proven himself as one of the top amateurs in the game, and he’s very deserving of becoming the first underclassman to earn PGA Tour membership through PGA Tour University Accelerated,” said PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan. “We look forward to welcoming him to the PGA Tour after he concludes his collegiate career at Vanderbilt.”

PGA Tour U Accelerated was announced in November 2022 as a pathway to the PGA Tour for college underclassmen. In this program, players earn points for achieving different elite benchmarks, including winning the NCAA Championship (Sargent did that in 2022), reaching No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (Sargent, now No. 2, first accomplished that last February) and playing on a Walker Cup team (Sargent went 4-0 last month to lead the U.S. to victory at St. Andrews).

Competing in the WATC marked Sargent’s 20 th and final point. Here’s a full breakdown of how he got to 20:

• Oct. 18, 2023 – Competes for U.S. at World Amateur Team Championship (1 Point)
• Sept. 2, 2023 – Competes for U.S. at Walker Cup (2 Points)
• July 7, 2023 – Makes cut in PGA Tour event at John Deere Classic (1 Point)
• June 16, 2023 – Makes cut at major championship at U.S. Open (1 Point)
• June 15, 2023 – Makes major championship start at U.S. Open (1 Point)
• June 8, 2023 – Competes for U.S. at Arnold Palmer Cup (1 Point)
• April 6, 2023 – Makes major championship start at Masters (1 Point)
• Feb. 15, 2023 – Reaches No. 1 in WAGR (5 Points)
• Aug. 31, 2022 – Competes for U.S. at World Amateur Team Championship (1 Point)
• July 1, 2022 – Competes for U.S. at Arnold Palmer Cup (1 Point)
• June 1, 2022 – Wins 2021-22 NCAA D-I Outstanding Freshman Award (2 Points)
• May 30, 2022 – Wins 2022 NCAA individual title (3 Points)

While Sargent is expected to forego his final year of eligibility at Vanderbilt and accept his PGA Tour card by turning pro next summer, it’s not a 100% certainty, Golf Channel has heard from several people close to the program and Sargent over the past few months. The big decider would be how the Commodores fare as a team at the NCAA Championship as Sargent’s main goal right now is winning an NCAA team title.

Should he choose to remain in school for a senior year, he’d be able to defer his PGA Tour card until Summer 2025.

Jury trial date in multimillion-dollar lawsuit against PGA Tour golfer Tony Finau will be moved from October to 2025

One of the investors in PGA Tour golfer Tony Finau’s career when the Utah-born sports icon was a teenager will have to wait at least four more months, perhaps longer, to get his day in court after he filed a lawsuit in 2020 seeking more than $16 million in what he says are unpaid expenses, loans and percentages of winnings.

Last January, Judge James Brady of Utah’s 4th Judicial District Court scheduled an eight-day jury trial to begin on Oct. 2, 2024, in Provo to hear Salt Lake City businessman Molonai Hola’s case against Finau, 34, who was born and raised in Salt Lake City, but resided in the Utah County town of Lehi at the time of the original lawsuit filing in September 2020.

However, an email from Brady’s office informed attorneys representing the plaintiff, Hola, and the defendant, Finau, that “the court has received word recently that this case will need to be rescheduled due to unavoidable circumstances.”

One of Brady’s law clerks declined to give a more specific reason for the delay when contacted by the Deseret News on Friday, saying that once the new trial date is set, the reason will be listed on the courts calendar.

Hola’s Salt Lake City-based attorney, Joshua S. Ostler, said counsel on both sides know the reason “and understand it,” but are not at liberty to discuss it.

Judge Brady has announced he is retiring at the end of this calendar year after serving on the Fourth District Court bench since May 2010 when he was appointed by then Gov. Gary Herbert.

The judicial case manager informed both parties that the next available date for an eight-day jury trial at Provo District Court is May 28 to June 6, 2025. So the case will presumably have to be heard by a different judge.

Finau’s attorney, Stewart Peay, informed the court that he has a trial set in Idaho from May 27-30, 2025, so those dates will not work for him.

“It seems like that is not going to work for all the parties, or attorneys,” Ostler said. “We have been in contact with the clerk a little bit and they might work to see if we can get on some kind of expedited schedule. … There is a possibility we can get on the calendar the first thing next year, but I am not sure yet.”

A January trial could cause Finau to miss a PGA Tour event or two in Hawaii or California, but it comes before pro golf’s major tournaments begin in April with the Masters in Augusta, Georgia.

The trial’s continuance from next month to 2025 means that Finau will now be available to play in the PGA Tour’s new Black Desert Championship in St. George from Oct. 10-13, 2024.

Ostler said although the continuance puts Hola’s camp “in a little bit of limbo right now,” it is not necessarily a setback for the plaintiff.

“We want to get to trial. We want Mr. Hola to have his day in court, and have his claims heard. That is still going to happen. We were looking forward to the October trial. But if it has to be rescheduled, it has to be rescheduled,” Ostler said. “We will still be able to make our same case. I wouldn’t characterize it as a blow to our case or our side or anything like that.”

Here’s why plaintiff wants trial moved out of Utah County

After receiving notice of the continuance on Wednesday, and realizing that the continuance would likely require a new judge in the case, Hola’s counsel on Thursday filed a motion to change the venue from Provo to Salt Lake City, where the lawsuit was originally filed before Finau’s attorneys got it moved to Provo in January 2021.

Hola’s attorneys argue that the case should have remained in Salt Lake County because attorneys on both sides are in the state’s most populated county, as are most of the witnesses. Other participants will fly into Salt Lake City for the trial, they said in the motion, and will be inconvenienced if they have to make the longer drive to Provo.

Why does Tony Finau’s faith matter in this case?

Also, the plaintiffs argued in their motion that “a fair and impartial determination is more likely in Salt Lake County” due to Utah County having a higher concentration of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints than Salt Lake County.

“Tony Finau’s celebrity is well known throughout Utah, but especially in Utah County, where’s he’s resided for the past 15 years and where he resided when he first became famous,” the motion states.

“Also, it is well known that Tony Finau is a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” it continues.

Hola’s attorneys cited a 2021 Deseret News article stating that a survey showed 72% of Utah County residents identify as Latter-day Saints, compared to below 50% in Salt Lake County.

“Plaintiff acknowledges that the jury pool will consist of Tony Finau’s fans and admirers regardless of where the trial is held, but the impact on fairness and impartiality is undoubtedly smaller in Salt Lake County,” the motion states.

Finau’s attorneys have two weeks from last Thursday to respond to the change of venue motion. Ostler declined to elaborate on the prospects of getting the case moved back to Salt Lake County, or if the religion arguments are valid.

“I think the motion speaks for itself,” he said. “We’ve always maintained that the best place to have this trial is here in Salt Lake City.”

Golf reporter Dan Rapaport makes shock update as he walks out of Barstool Sports

Dan Rapaport has left Barstool Sports and its popular 'Fore Play' podcast.

Renowned golf reporter Dan Rapaport has today confirmed he has left Barstool Sports and the brand's popular 'Fore Play' podcast. 

Rapaport made his announcement on the brand's latest podcast episode that was titled: 'Goodbye Dan Rapaport'. 

He has covered all things PGA Tour and the rest of the sport for Barstool Sports ever since he joined the company in the summer of 2022.

Prior to joining Barstool, the American enjoyed stints at Golf Digest and Sports Illustrated.

Rapaport also worked for BBC Radio 5 LIVE during their on-course commentary of The 152nd Open at Royal Troon in July. 

Rapaport is now going to take some time out to consider his next options, but he has confirmed he will remain in golf media. 

Fore Play tweeted: 'Dan announces that today’s episode will be his last as he goes on to try and forge his own path in golf'.

Rapaport then released a statement on his own X / Twitter account, which you can read below.

'I'm beyond grateful for these last two years. What a life experience, man. Running around the world with an incredible group of guys on a bunch of golf adventures,' the statement began.

'I will always be indebted to Riggs, Frankie and Trent for the opportunity and platform they provided me. And the behind the scenes crew—Brendan Jones, Alex Busch, Rob White, Jared de Libero, Kyle Tims, Pilar, Allison, Live Event Lisa/the entire Barstool Classic crew, Jake Bass, Noah An—you guys are the engine that keeps this thing moving.

'I was a huge Barstool and Fore Play fan before I joined and I'm an even bigger fan now.

'Sometimes you just gotta follow your gut and that's where I'm at right now. As for what's next, I'm going to take a little time away and decompress (and maybe work on my own game!) before diving into my next journey. 

'I *love* golf, I'm excited about where it's headed and I remain committed to covering it in new and exciting ways. Hit it hard.'

Rapaport confirmed during the latest Fore Play episode that his contract was up at the end of the PGA Tour season and that he has been contemplating his future within golf media the past few months. 

'I have zero negative emotions toward Fore Play or Barstool or any of the three beautiful faces I'm looking at,' said Rapaport.

PGA TOUR releases full schedule for 2022-23 season

Reduced field sizes for FedExCup Playoffs adds additional importance to every week of the Regular Season and the Playoffs

Change Text Size

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA – The PGA TOUR today announced its 2022-23 FedExCup Season schedule of 47 tournaments, featuring 44 Regular Season events and three FedExCup Playoffs events, culminating with the crowning of the 2023 FedExCup champion at the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, August 21- 27.

As announced on June 22, qualification criteria for the FedExCup Playoffs have been revised starting in 2023, with just 70 players earning a start in the first Playoffs event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, followed by 50 players advancing to the BMW Championship, with the TOUR Championship field remaining at 30 players.

Next season’s schedule includes record prize money and eight invitationals spread throughout with players competing for elevated purses ranging from $15 to $25 million. The bonus pools totaling $145 million include $75 million for the FedExCup, $20 million for the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 and $50 million for the Player Impact Program.

“We’ve heard from our fans and the overwhelming sentiment was that they wanted more consequences for both the FedExCup Regular Season and the Playoffs, and to further strengthen events that traditionally feature top players competing head-to-head,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. “We feel strongly we’ve accomplished all of these objectives and more, creating a cadence of compelling drama for every tournament throughout the season. Each week has its own identity and purpose, and we’re set up for an exciting 2022-23 campaign as we transition into a calendar season in 2024 that will include a number of new and innovative competitive aspects in the fall.”

The 70 players who qualify for the first Playoffs event will be fully exempt for the following season as the TOUR transitions to a calendar-year season beginning in 2024 with the core portion of the FedExCup contested from January to August. Following the core FedExCup season, official PGA TOUR events will be conducted in the fall, where all players with status for the 2022-23 FedExCup Season will be eligible to compete. Those outside of the top-70 will compete for FedExCup points in a compelling, consequential final stretch to secure status for 2024.

Following the fall events, the TOUR will introduce a series of international events that include the top-50 players from the final FedExCup Points list, the top performers in the fall and additional eligibility as part of a limited-field, no-cut format. Further details on the fall events and the global series are expected to be announced later this year.

Highlights for the 2022-23 PGA TOUR Season:

The 17th edition of the FedExCup Playoffs features three events, all carried by network partner CBS in 2023.

• FedEx St. Jude Championship (August 7-13) at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, with a 70- player field.

• BMW Championship (August 14-20) at Olympia Fields Country Club in Olympia Fields, Illinois, with a 50-player field. o The FedEx St. Jude Championship and the BMW Championship feature significant increases in prize money, from $15 million to $20 million

• Supported by Proud Partners Accenture, Coca-Cola and Southern Company, the TOUR Championship (August 21-27) at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta will feature the top-30 players in the FedExCup standings.

• With only 70 players earning a spot in the first FedExCup Playoffs event, the Wyndham Championship (July 31-August 6) will take on an even more significant role in determining who qualifies for the Playoffs. The Wyndham Championship will also be the final event in the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10, where the top-10 performers earn bonus money for performance in the Regular Season.

In addition to the two Playoffs events, six invitationals will see significant increases in purse sizes in 2023:

• Kicking off the 2023 portion of the season, the Sentry Tournament of Champions (January 2-8) will have a purse of $15 million, up from $8.2 million in 2022. The winners-only event will lead off 2024 when the TOUR transitions into a calendar season.

• Three player-hosted invitationals, The Genesis Invitational (February 13-19) hosted by Tiger Woods, the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard (February 27-March 5) and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday (May 29-June 4) hosted by Jack Nicklaus will see purses increase from $12 million to $20 million.

• With support from Proud Partners Grant Thornton, Morgan Stanley and Optum, the TOUR’s flagship event, THE PLAYERS Championship (March 6-12), includes a PGA TOUR-record purse of $25 million, up from $20 million in 2022.

• The World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play (March 20-26) will once again feature 64 of the world’s top players competing for $20 million up from $12 million.

• After a successful debut as a co-sanctioned event, the Genesis Scottish Open (July 10-16) will be featured on both the PGA TOUR and the DP World Tour schedule ahead of The Open Championship (July 17-23) at Royal Liverpool. Additionally, the PGA TOUR’s Barbasol Championship (July 10-16) and Barracuda Championship (July 17-23) will offer access to DP World Tour members for the second straight year.

• The 2022-23 season will once again kick off with the Fortinet Championship (September 12-18) in Napa, California, one of nine official FedExCup events to be played across the fall.

• Following the Fortinet Championship will be the 14th playing of the Presidents Cup (September 19-25) at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The three Global partners of the Presidents Cup are Citi, Cognizant and Rolex.

• Announced earlier this summer, THE CJ CUP has relocated from Korea to Congaree Golf Club in Ridgeland, South Carolina, and has been renamed THE CJ CUP in South Carolina (October 17-23).

• Also, with the cancellation of the WGC-HSBC Champions, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship (October 24-30) has a standalone date with full FedExCup points awarded.

• Additional 2022 dates include the Sanderson Farms Championship (September 26-October 2), Shriners Children’s Open (October 3-9), ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP (October 10-16) in Japan, World Wide Technology • Championship at Mayakoba (October 31-November 6), Cadence Bank Houston Open (November 7-13) and The RSM Classic (November 14-20) to conclude the fall calendar.

• After the Sentry Tournament of Champions (January 2-8) and the Sony Open in Hawaii (January 9-15) – celebrating its 25th year with Sony as title sponsor – launch the 2023 calendar year, the TOUR heads to California for The American Express (January 16-22) with its pro-am format in La Quinta.

• With a crowded weekend sports calendar, the Farmers Insurance Open (January 23-29) in San Diego will feature a Saturday finish (January 28) for the second consecutive year.

• The TOUR then heads up the coast to the Monterey Peninsula for the celebrity-laden AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (January 30-February 5) followed by the WM Phoenix Open (February 6-12) at TPC Scottsdale. The WM Phoenix Open will be played the same week as the NFL’s Super Bowl, which will also be contested in the Phoenix area.

• The Florida Swing includes five events, with four events in Florida and the Puerto Rico Open (February 27- March 5) which is played alongside the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard. The Honda Classic (February 20-26), THE PLAYERS Championship (March 6-12) and the Valspar Championship (March 13-19) round out the Florida events.

• Now in its second season as an official event on the PGA TOUR schedule, the Mexico Open at Vidanta (April 24-30) is preceded by the two-player team format of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (April 17-23) and followed by the Wells Fargo Championship (May 1-7), which returns to North Carolina and Quail Hollow Club.

• There are five official FedExCup events in Texas throughout the 2022-23 PGA TOUR Season: the Cadence Bank Houston Open (November 7-13), played for the third consecutive year at Memorial Park Golf Course; the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play (March 20-26) in Austin played concurrently with the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic; the Valero Texas Open (March 27-April 2) in San Antonio prior to the Masters Tournament; and the AT&T Byron Nelson (May 8-14) and the Charles Schwab Challenge (May 22-28) to bookend the PGA Championship (May 15-21), which will be played at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, one of two events held in the northeast alongside the Travelers Championship (June 19-25) in Cromwell, Connecticut.

• RBC serves as title sponsor for two events, the RBC Heritage (April 10-16), held the week after the Masters Tournament, and the RBC Canadian Open (June 5-11), to be played for the first time at Oakdale Golf & Country Club in Toronto, the week prior to the U.S. Open (June 12-18) in Los Angeles.

• Notable date changes include the Rocket Mortgage Classic (June 26-July 2) which moves from late July to late June, and the 3M Open (July 24-30) which will slide one week later in the calendar as the penultimate event in the FedExCup Regular Season. The TOUR’s long-running Midwest event, the John Deere Classic (July 3-9), will once again precede the Genesis Scottish Open (July 10-16).

Envelopes, Please: The ‘Other’ Awards From Highs and Lows of the 2024 PGA Tour Season

Gary van sickle | sep 4, 2024.

ATLANTA — We were a country divided. It was Coke vs. Pepsi, Ford vs. Ferrari and Tastes Great vs. Less Filling all over again.

Was Scottie Scheffler your Player of the Year in 2024 or was it Xander Schauffele? 

It was too close to call until Scheffler finally tipped the scales by winning the 30-man corporate picnic known as the Tour Championship last week.

Purists favored Schauffele because he had a 2-1 edge in major championships. It was Schauffele’s PGA and British Open titles versus Scheffler’s Masters. Although Scheffler also won the Players, which ought to count as at least half a major by now. 

But the Tour Championship was win No. 7 for Scheffler. He also snagged the Olympic gold medal. He was golf’s dominant force this year. He even set the all-time Tour scoring average for a season at 68.00.

You could argue for Co-Players of the Year because of this: Would Scheffler or Schauffele trade their year for the other guy’s? Not likely.

Thankfully, a seventh Scottie win seems to end debate, which is good because if we had to come up with a combo nickname for the duo such as Bennifer (Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez), Schauffeffler edged Scander and X-Scot in staff voting. 

Crisis solved. As luminaries Peaches and Herb once noted, “Reunited and it feels so good.” Here are some other major award winners from The Year of Schauffeffler Scheffler: 

The Winston Churchill Champion Orator

Rory McIlroy discussing the Olympics and Ryder Cup: “With how much of a sh-t show the game of golf is right now, we don’t play for money (in) the two tournaments that might be the purest form of competition.”

(Second shot: We need a “sh-t show” logo on golf shirts and hats. They’ll sell like … sh-tcakes!)

Most Arresting Event 

Nobody has ever been charged with a felony during a major championship and gone on to win it but Scheffler had the chance. He was arrested for not obeying a traffic cop’s directions near the Valhalla Golf Club entrance in the early morning hours. Louisville police arrested Scheffler, booked him downtown and charged him with a felony. He somehow got back to Valhalla for his morning tee time and shot 66, the Round of the Year under the circumstances. Video evidence later exonerated Scheffler and all charges were dropped. The Scheffler Incident made this PGA Championship unforgettable but the event got even better thanks to a thrilling finish in which Schauffele holed a clutch putt on the last green to edge Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland. 

(Second shot: Great golf, great drama, great police work. Well, two outta three ain’t bad.)

Revisionist History Cup

Awarded to the PGA Tour, which said University of Alabama sophomore Nick Dunlap’s AmEx win made him the youngest amateur to win on Tour since Chick Evans at the 1910 Western Open. 

(Second shot: Geez, the PGA Tour wasn’t founded until 1968 but it’s taking credit for those old Western Opens? Is it also claiming responsibility for Portugal ending its monarchy that year?)

The Stroke of Genius Award

If the hardest shot in golf is the long bunker shot, try it from 55 yards on the 72nd hole at Pinehurst’s No. 2 Course to win the U.S. Open. Bryson DeChambeau floated a beautiful sand shot with his 55-degree wedge that trickled to a stop 4 feet below the hole. Then he holed the putt to win his second Open title. “That bunker shot was the shot of my life,” DeChambeau said.

(Second shot: It was close but that bunker shot possibly was bigger than the final-hole birdie putt holed by President Donald Trump in DeChambeau’s Internet episode of “Break 50” that gave the duo a score of 50 at Trump Bedminster.)

The Green Bib

Given to caddie Ted Scott, who has two Masters wins on Scottie Scheffler’s bag and two with Bubba Watson. That means only legendary Augusta caddies Willie Peterson (five with Jack Nicklaus) and Pappy Stokes (five with four players) have looped for more green jacket winners than Scott. “I’m pinching myself,” Scott said after Scheffler’s April win.

(Second swing: Pinch away, man. You’re aboard Secretariat. Enjoy every ride.)

The Golden Slide Rule

Beau Hossler bounced a shot off the back edge of the famed 17th green at TPC Sawgrass in the Players opening round the same day Ryan Fox made an ace there. Only one of those made history. Oddly, it was Hossler’s, whose shot was the 1,000th ball hit into the water at 17 during The Players, ShotLink reported. 

(Second shot: This is fake math, people. ShotLink didn’t start tracking water balls at 17 until 2003. Sawgrass became the Players home in 1982, so that’s another 21 years and using historical average of 46 dunks per Players week, that 966 more sunken balls. Hossler’s shot was actually closer to being No. 2,000. And that’s not counting Angelo Spagnolo’s 27 water balls en route to a 66 on that hole in Golf Digest ’s ignominious 1985 World’s Worst Avid Golfer contest.)

The Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics Trophy

Awarded to Tiger Woods. The pros and cons of his year:

Pro: He played all four majors for the first time since 2019. 

Con: He missed the cut in three; shot a cumulative 44 over par and averaged 75.6 strokes per round. 

Pro: He set a Masters record by making his 24th consecutive cut, moving ahead of Fred Couples and Gary Player.

Con: His 304 total was his highest in 26 Masters appearances.

Pro: He shot 156 at Royal Troon in the Open, tying his highest score as a professional, but it was one stroke lower than his highest score ever, 157 at Bay Hill in 1994 when he was a high school senior. Take that, kid!

Con: He played the final round with amateur Neil Shipley, who shot 73 to Tiger’s 77.  In a match of cards, Shipley wins, 2 and 1.

Pro and Con: Tiger is now a PGA Tour Policy Board player director and heavily involved in the tedious, never-ending (doomed?) negotiations with PIF (the Saudi money funding rival LIV Golf).

Pro: He got a $100 million loyalty bonus/equity share from PGA Tour Enterprises Inc., the Tour’s new for-profit venture.

Con: Figuring the highest IRS personal tax rate of 37%, he kept only $63 million of that bonus.

(Second shot: Only $63 mill? C’mon, a private jet’s gotta eat, too.)

Best Farewell Tour

Take a bow, personable club pro Michael Block. He had his 15 minutes of fame in 2023 after his star turn at the PGA Championship that featured a final-round ace while paired with Rory McIlroy. Block cashed in well. He even snagged a Charles Schwab commercial—surely a club-pro first—and three more invites to PGA Tour events this year, which ended as three more missed cuts. 

The afterglow of his fantastic, clutch up-and-down on the 72nd hole at Oak Hill that earned him a return invite to the PGA Championship didn’t last long at Valhalla last May. He made a quad on the second hole and missed the cut. Probably only Scottie Scheffler had less fun in Louisville. 

(Second shot: Looks like Blockie’s Eras Tour is over. But he’s 48 and the senior circuit is not far off. He might be able to beat a few of those guys. His more realistic long-term outlook? Social Security.)

The Pet Rock Merchandising Award (Gold Medal)

T-shirt featuring jailbird Scottie Scheffler mug shot) during PGA Championship week: “Making orange great again.”

(Second shot: Hey, it’s always been great in sherbet and Hostess cupcakes.)

The Francis Ouimet Giant-Killer Cup

This prestigious award Dunlap, the reigning U.S. Amateur champ. He shot a third-round 60 and holed a 6-foot putt on the 72nd hole to win the American Express, the tournament long known as the Bob Hope Desert Classic. Dunlap became the first amateur to win a PGA Tour event since Phil Mickelson in 1991, a special feat. 

Said Dunlap: “If you told me Wednesday night that I would have a putt to win this golf tournament, I wouldn’t believe you.”

(Second shot: Nick, what if we also told you via email how to sell your timeshare and buy life insurance in case of a robot attack? Would you believe that?)

Rookie Card of the Year

It’s another award for Dunlap, who looks like the real deal. Dunlap turned pro after winning the AmEx in January, jumped onto the PGA Tour and came from behind to win the Barracuda Championship in July—the first player in Tour history to win as an amateur and a pro in the same year. “I never thought I would have my name next to that,” Dunlap said after his victory in Truckee, Calif. The triumph was worth $720,000, nearly half as much as the $1.5 million check he couldn’t accept for winning the AmEx, money that went instead to runner-up Christiaan Bezuidenhout.

(Second shot: Pay the man, Shirley.)

The Nick Dunlap Honesty Cup

This Dunlap guy is everywhere. So let’s name an award after him for offering the Most Honest Quote of the Year. After winning the AmEx as an amateur, the Alabama sophomore was asked if he had homework from school.

“Yes,” Dunlap answered. “Probably won’t do it, though.”

(Second shot: Wait, athletes at SEC schools have homework?)

The Nick Dunlap Honesty Cup, non-Dunlap Division  

The winner is Akshay Bhatia, who left his 32-foot putt on the Rocket Mortgage Classic’s 72nd green 4 feet short, then missed the next one, handing the title to a surprised Cam Davis. Said Bhatia: “Just a little bit of nerves, honestly. I’m human.”

(Second shot: You’ve gotta respect that admission. Not to make excuses for Bhatia’s miss but we did notice some clouds moving carelessly during his backstroke.)

The Shlabotnik Cup

This award, which goes to former Ryder Cup star Anthony Kim, is named in honor of “Peanuts” character Charlie Brown’s favorite baseball player, Joe Shlabotnik, who had a career .004 batting average. Kim, 38, stepped away from golf in 2012 (when the award-winning Dunlap was 10 years old) for undisclosed reasons. Kim returned in March and joined LIV Golf.  “Eleven years is a long time,” admitted Kim. His results reflect the layoff. His average finish in 10 54-man events is 47.0. He has a 47-477-6 mark, based on how many players he finished ahead of (47), behind (477) or tied (6). That gives him a won-loss average of .094. 

(Second shot: Well, his last LIV finish was 36th so he’s trending upward. But at least his average is way better than Shlabotnik, who later tried managing, fyi, but was fired by the Waffletown Syrups.)

The Glenfiddich Award

Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre had a remarkable summer. He scored his breakthrough first PGA Tour victory at the RBC Canadian Open with his dad, Dougie, the greenskeeper at Glencruitten Golf Club, as his caddie. They shared an emotional embrace after the win. Barely a month later, he was in contention at the Scottish Open. With the vocal galleries supporting him, MacIntyre delivered his best golf and watched a 22-foot birdie putt barely topple into the cup on the final green for a one-shot win over Adam Scott. “It’s the one I wanted and the one I got,” Robert said. The ensuing celebration was reportedly also award-worthy. “I’m not a big drinker but when you get a moment like that—a childhood dream and a lifetime goal—and you’ve got family and friends that have backed you since you were a young kid, I think it was quite right to go absolutely wild.” And, he added with a smile, “I think we’ve done a good job of that.” Because of the party, he moved his Open Championship pre-tournament press conference from Monday to Wednesday.

(Second shot: Lang may yer lum reek, lad. Old Scottish toast translated, Long may your chimney smoke.)

The Van de Velde Cup

The “winner” is former Duke University star Max Greyserman, who had one hell of a week during the Wyndham Championship. Greyserman enjoyed a second-round 60 at Sedgefield Country Club and had a sizable lead in the final round until his drive caromed high off a cart path and out of bounds at the 14th hole, causing a quadruple-bogey 8. Then he four-putted for double bogey at the 16th. The double disasters set up England’s Aaron Rai to notch his first win. “Obviously, stuff happens in golf,” Greyserman said. 

(Second shot: When Double Stuf happens, you hope it comes between two Oreo wafers.)

The Pet Rock Merchandising Award (Silver Medal)

T-shirt featuring jailbird Scottie Scheffler mug shot during PGA Championship week: “Orange is the new green.”

(Second shot: Does anyone really want to see the Masters award The Orange Jacket? Anyone? Bueller?)

 The Glen Campbell Memorial “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” Award

It was 8:25 a.m. when Lucas Glover, still in his hotel room, answered his cell phone and was notified by a PGA Tour rules official that he was due to tee off in the WM Phoenix Open’s first round at 8:26, one minute later. Dangnabbit! The rules allow a player to tee off up to five minutes late, which comes with a two-stroke penalty, but Glover couldn’t make it in time for that. He withdrew and admitted he’d read his tee time wrong, a rookie mistake that a 44-year-old Tour veteran wondered how he could have made.

“I'm kicking myself but laughing at myself at the same time,” Glover told Golf Channel.

(Second shot: Glover ranks 14th in Approaching the Green stats. In Reaching the First Tee, pencil him in for DFL—that’s golfspeak for Dead Last.)

The Silver Calculator Award

Xander Schauffele won explaining how he had to factor in Denver’s mile-high altitude during the BMW Championship there to determine yardages before every shot: “I went to San Diego State, so it’s the most math I’ve done in a while.”

(Second shot: Is San Diego State in the Big Ten Conference yet?)

The Dan Rather Memorial Inquisition Chalice

This award for the most inane media question was earned at the FedEx St. Jude Championship after Scottie Scheffler talked about showing his Olympic gold medal to friends and fans before the event in Memphis and how much reacted to seeing his medal.

Media genius: “Did you use it as a ball marker at all?” 

(Second shot: What he should’ve asked as a topper follow-up—“How far can you throw it?”)

The Pet Rock Merchandising Award (Bronze medal)

T-shirt featuring jailbird Scottie Scheffler mug shot during PGA Championship week: “Straight outta Valhalla.”

(Second shot: Per the late Warren Zevon’s song: “Send lawyers, guns and money.”)

The Job Placement Trophy

Phil Mickelson has zero LIV Golf wins and only three top-10 finishes in three years.

Mickelson recently hinted that he might retire if his LIV Golf play doesn’t improve. His reported $200 million LIV deal expires after next season and his dismal average finish this year is 36.1 (out of 54 players). “I see glimpses of being able to compete but I’m also realistic,” Mickelson said. “If I’m not able to, I’ll step aside.” 

(Second shot: A legit question is, What will Phil do next? LIV broadcast commentator? Head negotiator in the PGA Tour framework agreement talks? Male model for AARP?)

The Dr. Richard Kimble Right Stuff Award

Scottie Scheffler, after video evidence revealed how the Louisville police’s description of his PGA incident didn’t match the officer’s account and charges against him were dropped: “I did not want to pursue legal action against Louisville because at the end of the day, the people of Louisville would have to pay for the mistakes of their police department. And that just doesn’t seem right.”

(Second shot: Justice prevails. Court adjourned.)

GARY VAN SICKLE

Van Sickle has covered golf since 1980, following the tours to 125 men’s major championships, 14 Ryder Cups and one sweet roundtrip flight on the late Concorde. He is likely the only active golf writer who covered Tiger Woods during his first pro victory, in Las Vegas in 1996, and his 81st, in Augusta. Van Sickle’s work appeared, in order, in The Milwaukee Journal, Golf World magazine, Sports Illustrated (20 years) and Golf.com. He is a former president of the Golf Writers Association of America. His knees are shot, but he used to be a half-decent player. He competed in two national championships (U.S. Senior Amateur, most recently in 2014); made it to U.S. Open sectional qualifying once and narrowly missed the Open by a scant 17 shots (mostly due to poor officiating); won 10 club championships; and made seven holes-in-one (though none lately). Van Sickle’s golf equipment stories usually are based on personal field-testing, not press-release rewrites. His nickname is Van Cynical. Yeah, he earned it.

How much money has Scottie Scheffler earned in total so far on the PGA Tour this year?

The world no. 1 has added to his earnings with a win at the tour championship 2024..

Scottie Scheffler confirmed his status at the world’s number one golfer after winning the Travelers Tournament on June 23, 2024 yet East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta has been the most recent site to witness his talent, with him sitting atop the leaderboard of the TOUR Championship 2024 .

Until today, this year Scheffler has become a father, gone to jail and won The Memorial Tournament, RBC Heritage, The Players Championship, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Travelers Championship and the Masters Tournament.

He played well under challenging conditions at the 2024 British Open, but wasn’t able to get hot with his putter on Saturday and Sunday. His T7 earned him $613,677.

How much has Scheffler earned in 2024?

Scheffler is the world’s No. 1 for a reason and he proved that once again at the Memorial Tournament the week before the US Open. Besides lifting the prestigious trophy, he earned an important sum of money .

The 27-year-old talent received a $3.6 million cash prize at the Travelers Championship. His earning this year are already over $28 million for the 2024 season on the PGA Tour.

His recent outings have brought his career earnings total to over $70 million .

But now, having taken home the title at the TOUR Championship, he is now the winner of the biggest ever prize in golf: with the winner pocketing $25 million of the $100 million prize purse, double the amount on offer to the runner-up ($12.5 million).

Scheffler has made his caddie a millionaire

A very graphic way to show how impressive Scheffler’s 2024 earnings are is to take a look at how much his caddy Ted Scott is making on the PGA Tour this term.

It has been a prolific year for Scheffler , but also for his caddy . Caddies usually earn 10 percent of a player’s winning prize money so, in that case, Scheffler’s recent victories had seen Scott earn nearly $2.8 million in the last six months . Now, it’s a lot more.
