The 2023 badminton World Tour season is almost at a close, with just 40 of the world's best players and pairs from this year left in action this week at the BWF World Tour Finals in Hangzhou, People's Republic of China, available to watch live on Olympic Channel via Olympics.com and the official Olympics app in selected territories.

Who to watch out for at BWF World Tour Finals 2023

Axelsen – the two-time reigning Finals champion – has had a strong year, winning five World Tour titles in addition to maintaining his position as world number one. However, injury issues have plagued the Dane this year. He's in a tough Group A featuring top seed Naraoka Kodai of Japan, the player who gained the most points on tour this year. 

Group B is headed by Indonesia's Jonatan Christie , who reached four finals on tour this year and won two titles, as well as world champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand.

In the absence of Yamaguchi, An Se-young is the hot favourite in the women's singles competition. She has had a stunning year, winning eight tour titles in addition to the Asian Games individual crown. She will have 2020 Finals champ Tai Tzu-ying of Chinese Taipei providing the resistance in Group A. 

The other group sees the pick of the matches being between home favourite and 2019 Finals winner Chen Yufei , and her predecessor as Olympic champion Carolina Marín of Spain.

Viktor Axelsen will look to secure hat-trick of titles in men’s singles category.

The BWF World Tour 2023 is all set to mark its conclusion with its most prestigious event – BWF World Tour Finals 2023 taking place from December 13 to December 17. The highly anticipated tournament will be held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo Center in Xiacheng, Hangzhou, China. The season-ending event will witness 64 prominent singles and doubles athletes who, throughout the season, created a strong impression with their consistent performances at various World Tour events.

The tournament will feature the season’s top eight performers in five distinct categories – men’s and women’s singles and men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles events. The tournament is notable not only for its competitiveness but also for its substantial prize pool of US$2,500,000, which establishes it as the most lucrative event in the world of badminton .

Officially known as the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2023, the event is the successor to the BWF Super Series Finals, the event which saw its occurrence from 2008 to 2017. The BWF World Tour Finals is typically held in the month of December every year where the players who have accumulated the highest points from the BWF World Tour events over the calendar year compete for the coveted title.

Since its inauguration (2018), China has been the most successful nation in the tournament, having won nine titles overall – three in the mixed doubles, two each in the men’s and women’s doubles, and one each in the men’s and women’s singles. Japan is in the second position, claiming four titles, making its mark in every discipline excluding the mixed doubles. The nation is closely followed by Denmark and South Korea, who jointly share the third position, with three titles each.

World Championship Finals Set at Thunderbowl

Tournament leader Matt Russo, defending champion EJ Tackett headline nine-player stepladder finals

The marathon of the PBA World Series of Bowling XV has reached its final destination as PBA World Championship qualifying has completed at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Mich.

Matt Russo led the field in the season’s fourth major championship with a blistering 14,198 (+2,718) total pinfall. He averaged over 239 for his 61 games — 15 on the 35-foot Cheetah pattern, 15 on the 42-foot Scorpion pattern, 15 on the 48-foot Shark pattern and 16 on the 43-foot Earl Anthony pattern.

Russo will be joined in Sunday’s championship round (noon ET on FOX) by Jesper Svensson, Graham Fach and defending champion EJ Tackett.

Justin Knowles qualified fifth to earn top seed for Saturday’s semifinal stepladder (7 p.m. ET on FS1), where the fifth through ninth qualifiers will compete for the final berth in Sunday's finals.

Knowles will await the winner of 19-year-old Eric Jones, Kyle Sherman, Packy Hanrahan and Michael Martell.

        View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by PBA TOUR (@pbatour)

Russo led the left-handed-heavy field primarily using reactive equipment. He used urethane on the short Cheetah pattern and in Friday’s final round of match play — which he said was a safety move to hold onto the lead — and reactive equipment for the vast majority of the other 46 games.

“I just can’t believe how well I bowled the last week and a half,” Russo said. “I think it'll all set in when I bowl on Sunday. From missing the first cut, to winning a title and making another show, to now bowling for a major championship is phenomenal. 

“To me, this is a win already,” Russo added. “I've won a title this week and led the World Championship. I'm gonna bowl for a major. I can't control what anybody else does. The only thing I can do is bowl my best game on that pair that I’ve bowled on a decent amount and if the pins go my way, fantastic.”

Svensson, who qualified second, said he tried to stay present as he transitioned from fighting Russo for the top seed to staving off Fach, Tackett and Knowles for the second seed.

“I never felt there was anybody more deserving of the top seed than Matt. Throughout the week he bowled fantastic. I feel like second was the best I could get and I’m definitely happy with that,” Svensson said. “When I won my only major title (the 2016 PBA Tournament of Champions), I was the No. 2 seed so I’ve got good memories from that. I've lost a couple of majors from the one-seed, so I'll take the two-seed for now and see how that works out.”

Fach began the day in 16th place, sitting 236 pins behind third place. The Canadian southpaw shot 300 in the first game of match play and said “We’ve got nowhere to go but up. Why not climb high?”

“My arm swing was loose because there was nowhere to go but up. I just would not let myself believe than I was in 10th, eighth, sixth, third,” Fach said. “It still hasn’t sunk in yet. In my mind, I was still 16th and thinking I still had nothing to lose. Obviously that mentality worked, so I'm going to try and hold on to it for as long as I can.”

Tackett led qualifying in this event a year ago. He defeated Jason Belmonte in a thrilling title match to win the 2023 World Championship, the capstone to his dominant Player of the Year campaign. With a win on Sunday, following his Shark Championship victory on Thursday night, Tackett could skyrocket to the forefront of the 2024 Player of the Year conversation.

“This wasn’t one of those deals where I matched up. I bowled really well,” Tackett said. “I got nine a lot this week. These pins were hard to knock down. I just kept myself in it and that was pretty much all I did this whole week.”

IT'S HIS TIME! THE YEAR OF EJ CONTINUES! @ejt300 claims his 2nd major title, and 5th overall title, of the 2023 PBA season winning the 2023 PBA World Championship Finals presented by @PabstBlueRibbon pic.twitter.com/wgXl6TnNn8 — PBA Tour (@PBATour) April 23, 2023

In the 2023 U.S. Open, Knowles earned the No. 9 seed and climbed the ladder, losing to No. 5 seed Kyle Troup. On Saturday, in a bowling center about an hour from his home of Okemos, Knowles gets a chance at redemption.

“I got maybe too comfortable with all the wins, and I forgot to have that killer instinct,” Knowles said of his loss to Troup. “I felt, especially late in that match with Kyle, I got too easy with it, too lackadaisical. I wasn't hungry for it, wasn’t chasing it. I was just enjoying the moment. Now I feel like let's work on it. Let's chase it. I'm going to attack it with a different mindset.”

The 19-year-old Jones earned the No. 6 seed and will make his TV debut on the national tour, but his rise to the national tour spotlight has been years in the making.

As a non-member, Jones became the youngest player to win a PBA Regional Tour title at 15 in Oct. 2020. Five months later, he competed in the 2021 PBA Junior National Championship, falling to Landin Jordan in the televised finals. He finished fourth in the 2021 PBA Jonesboro Open (coincidentally Russo's first career title) in a non-televised stepladder.

Looking back on his PBA Jr. experience, Jones drew an interesting lesson: “Don’t bowl that good.”

“Every single shot I threw that show was on top of the others and it made the lanes so cliffed,” Jones said. “I need to be smarter in practice. I couldn’t have bowl better; it's probably the best game I've ever bowled. I’m confident with how I handle myself on TV. I just need to set the pair better for myself.”

The seventh-seeded Sherman finds himself in a similar position to Jason Belmonte in Tuesday’s Scorpion Championship as the lone right-hander in a stepladder. While Sherman did not cash, let alone make the cut, in any of the three animal pattern events, he performed consistently well all week.

• Cheetah: 22nd place, five pins behind 21st and 45 pins behind 16th
• Scorpion: 24th place, 22 pins behind 21st and 92 pins behind 16th
• Shark: 23rd place, eight pins behind 21st and 36 pins behind 16th

The 30-year-old has battled numerous injuries over the years and spends 60-90 minutes before every round of competition warming up his body. He said his main focus this week was finishing qualifying and trying to keep his body in line as he battles injuries that get progressively worse as he bowls.

Injuries haven’t been the only reason Sherman only suited up for two PBA Tour events this season before the WSOB: Sherman said he and his girlfriend Amanda Greene welcomed their daughter, Mya, into the world seven weeks ago.

Sherman also said he received added motivation after the New Jersey KingPins dropped him from the PBA Elite League last month.

Hanrahan, who finished as the runner-up in the Scorpion Championship to Russo, will have to win seven consecutive matches to set up a rematch.

The final player on Saturday’s show, Martell, would have won the 2023 USBC Masters at Thunderbowl Lanes had it not been for the fire-breathing dragon known as Anthony Simonsen.

“This building has always given me what I like. We always joke about me moving to Detroit because I match up that well in this building,” Martell said. “It was calming to know I was in a setting that I had bowled well in before — and that was about the only calming thing about those last couple of games.”

After the first game of the second round of match play, Martell sat in fifth place. He then dropped to seventh, then eighth, then 11th. The one-handed southpaw hovered between 11th and ninth until the position round.

“I thought I was dead with a couple games to go,” Martell added. “I was not bowling well. I did not know what to expect. I kept looking at scores, which I usually don't do, and it got tighter and tighter and tighter. The last game, four of us were bowling for two spots.”

Martell found himself in a battle with Hanrahan, Belmonte and Keven Williams for the final two berths in the position round. Hanrahan shot 238 on the high end of Thunderbowl to lock himself onto the show, unbeknownst to the other three competitors on the low end.

Martell squeaked by Belmonte with a 208-204 win, but Williams had an opportunity to go around both players with a strike in his 10th frame. The two-handed lefty knocked over seven pins and came up four pins shy of Martell.

“I didn't believe it just because his ball reaction on that pair had been really, really good,” Martell said. “He missed a spare earlier in that game, so it shouldn't even come down to that if I'm being honest. He had thrown the previous three shots as perfectly as he could throw. I wasn't expecting him to throw it the way he did (in the 10th). All you need is a pulse, and I'm very grateful that he was the one to give me the lifeline.”

Martell will kick off Saturday’s semifinal stepladder against Hanrahan Saturday at 7 p.m. Eastern on FS1.

The player who emerges from that stepladder will advance to Sunday’s championship round, airing live at noon ET on FOX.

2024 RBC Heritage leaderboard: Scottie Scheffler nears fourth win in five starts with event to finish Monday

Weather prevented the final round from completing, but scheffler is well on his way to continuing his hot streak.

Scottie Scheffler's fourth victory in his last five tournaments will have to wait one more day. With the 2024 RBC Heritage experiencing more than a 2.5-hour weather delay Sunday, tournament action was unable to be completed before nightfall; it will instead leak into the work week. The final round at Harbour Town Golf Links will resume Monday at 8 a.m. ET with Scheffler holding a five-stroke lead at 20 under.

The world No. 1 is well clear of his nearest pursuer, Wyndham Clark, with three holes left in his tournament. Clark, meanwhile, is in the clubhouse at 15 under hoping for another runner-up check behind Scheffler. Others on the golf course like J.T. Poston, Patrick Cantlay and Sahith Theegala stand at that same number with holes to play.

Monday morning may only be a formality as Scheffler looks to be in control of just about everything -- like he has been the last two months.

Scheffler began Sunday in Hilton Head Island with one arm already slipped in the tartan jacket. Possessing a one-stroke lead, the Texan was crowned by many late Saturday evening despite the bevy of stars who had plans to upend him.

After knocking in a 6-foot par save on the 1st, Scheffler more or less turned those predictions into a reality. Chipping in for eagle on the par-5 2nd from long of the green (his 11th hole-out from off the green this season), Scheffler opened a three-stroke lead on the field and never looked back.

Charges were made by many, including a familiar foe in Clark, but none were that threatening. The reigning U.S. Open champion turned in 7-under 29 and tacked on another birdie on the 11th to get within one of Scheffler, but the pressure of perfection proved too much.

Hitting a tree with his second shot on No. 12, Clark's ball ricocheted out of bounds and led to a double bogey. Another dropped shot came on the following hole and all but secured another near miss from the U.S. Open champion.

Collin Morikawa, Ludvig Åberg, Cantlay and Theegala all hovered on the first page of the leaderboard but never truly threatened. Instead, it was Patrick Rodgers who emerged as Scheffler's greatest threat thanks to an eagle-2 at the turn. A bogey a few holes later put an end to his Cinderella story.

Remaining in the wake of mistakes was a spotless Scheffler at 19 under, four ahead of the field. Turning in 3 under, the steadiest man in the game marched forward with a heavy diet of fairways and greens before a spell of thunderstorms halted his momentum on the par-4 12th.

Inclement weather was all that could stop Scheffler as the 27-year-old returned to the golf course more than two hours later and resumed his round without a hitch. While temperatures cooled and winds freshened, Scheffler was unaffected.

He picked off a birdie on the 13th to push his lead to five before a mud ball on the 15th led to his second finding the water on the par 5. It didn't matter as Scheffler launched a pitching wedge onto the surface, spinning it left and utilizing the slope to access the tucked pin. He avoided what would have been his first dropped shot since the 3rd hole on Thursday with an emphatic par save, and he will sleep easy Sunday night knowing five strokes separate him from the field and three holes separate him from victory.

Rick Gehman, Kyle Porter, Patrick McDonald and Greg DuCharme discuss Scottie Scheffler's hold on the RBC Heritage, Nelly Korda's fifth straight victory and Miles Russell finishing top 25 as a 15 year old. Follow & listen to The First Cut on  Apple Podcasts  and  Spotify .

Play called for evening

The final group is on the green on the par-5 15th meaning they will have three holes to play on Monday. Scottie Scheffler faces a par putt from 10 feet to maintain his five-stroke lead as he stands at 20 under.

Five clear with five to go!

The only thing that can stop him is the sunlight at this rate. Scottie Scheffler adds a birdie on 13 to get to 20 under and five clear of the crew at 15 under. Without the world No. 1 this tournament would be very, very good, but alas they are all fighting for first flight honors it appears.

Conditions are considerably harder for these guys. The wind has switched, it's about 10 degrees cooler and they are racing against the clock. Scottie Scheffler and Sepp Straka make par on No. 12 and head to the par-4 13th. Wyndham Clark posts the clubhouse lead at 15 under, four behind Scheffler.

Let's play ball!

Players are on the golf course and play is set to resume. Scottie Scheffler in the final pairing has about 7.5 holes remaining and one hour until sunset meaning this thing is probably going to leak into Monday unfortunately. 

Play to resume at 7 p.m.

Coverage information, play to resume at 6 p.m. et.

The expectation is this thing will be finished today as the range is open and play is set to resume in 40 minutes at 6 p.m. ET. This will leave Scottie Scheffler a couple hours to complete just about seven holes as he left off in the middle of the 12th fairway with a four-stroke lead at 19 under.

Play suspended due to weather

The horn has sounded at 4:28 p.m. ET as a large weather system (with lightning) has engulfed Harbour Town. This comes as Scottie Scheffler stands in the 12th fairway with a four-stroke lead at 19 under over a number of pursuers up ahead of him on the golf course. Players are being brought back into the clubhouse as rules officials make an assessment on when play will return.

Rain comin' down hard

Scheffler turns in 33 with three-stroke lead.

Scheffler lets a chance slide by on the short ninth and will instead settle for a 3-under 33 on his front nine. It was highlighted by his eagle-3 on the par-5 2nd and Scheffler will head to the back side with a three-stroke edge.

Theegala thriving

Theegala cards four 3s in a row to end his front nine and get within four of Scottie Scheffler. Sahith spoke yesterday about how cool it is what Scheffler is currently doing and how it is a motivating factor for someone like him to get better. It's a great perspective and Theegala continues to get better and better, but it may not be enough this week as he is four behind with nine to go.

Scottie scheffler continues dominant run with 2024 rbc heritage win, share this article.

Scottie Scheffler spent an extra night in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, which typically wouldn’t be such a drag if not for his wife Meredith being pregnant back home in Dallas and awaiting the couple’s first child later this month.

But Mother Nature had other plans, forcing Scheffler to return to Harbour Town Golf Links on Monday morning to play his final three holes of the 2024 RBC Heritage and wrap up his fourth PGA Tour title in his past five starts.

One week and one day after Scheffler slipped into the famed Green Jacket awarded to the Masters champ for the second time in three years, the 27-year-old Texan added another colorful jacket – this time in trademark Tartan – to his closet and became the first reigning Masters champion to win the RBC Heritage since Bernhard Langer in 1985.

Scheffler, who was 4-under through 15 holes in the final round and 20-under overall when play was suspended due to darkness on Sunday, made two pars and a finishing bogey and signed for a 3-under 68 on Monday, three shots better than Sahith Theegala (68) and four better than reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark (65) and past FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay (68). Scheffler banked another $3.6 million to surpass $18 million in earnings this season – and it’s still April.

“I didn’t show up here just to have some sort of ceremony and have people tell me congratulations,” said Scheffler of avoiding a post-Masters victory hangover. “I came here with a purpose.”

CBS Sports roving reporter Colt Knost, who grew up with Scheffler following him around Dallas’s Royal Oaks Golf Club, already has one of the best nicknames in golf: The Big Gravy. But he may have earned another one – Knost-radamus – for a prediction seemingly as accurate as those of the 16 th century French astrologer Nostradamus. In February 2022, when Scheffler won his first Tour title at the WM Phoenix Open, Knost proclaimed him to be “a worldbeater,” and added, “Now that he’s got that first one, I think the floodgates are going to open for him.”

Scheffler’s latest triumph is his 10 th career title, the first player to win that many times (or more) in three seasons since Dustin Johnson did so between 2015-16 and 2017-18. There’s no indication that this flood of success for the world No. 1 will stop any time soon. Did Knost imagine Scheffler would dominate on the PGA Tour? “I really did,” he said. “He never plays badly and he’s one of the most competitive people I’ve ever met. He will never just go through the motions.”

Theegala, who recalled playing against Scheffler for the first time in the Starburst Junior Golf Classic at Waco, Texas, didn’t remember ever beating Scheffler, who is a year older than him, in a single junior tournament. Competing with Scheffler, who leads the Tour in 30 statistical categories this season, hasn’t gotten any easier lately. “It’s pretty epic,” Theegala said of Scheffler, who has shot even par or better in all 40 rounds this season and became the first player to win four times in five starts since Tiger Woods in 2007-08. “I was talking to Carl, my caddie, walking to 15 tee box. I was like, I grew up watching the end of Tiger, got to see Rory, DJ, Jordan, like all these guys kind of dominate for a period of time, and I was like, we could be in the midst of something really, really special.”

Some observers suggested that Scheffler would skip the RBC Heritage but Scheffler said he never wavered in his commitment to the tournament. After winning the Masters, Scheffler flew home to Dallas to be with Meredith and didn’t show up to Hilton Head until Tuesday. He played only a nine-hole practice round on Wednesday and spotted much of the field a head start, shanking a bunker shot at his third hole in the first round, making double bogey and needing two late birdies to post 69. He trailed by six and complained of fatigue. But after recharging his batteries, he didn’t make a single bogey or worse until the 72nd hole of the tournament, and even in that case Scheffler said he was counting that one as a par as he played the smart shots with a comfortable lead. He stormed back with a 65 on Friday and was lurking three back before reminding everyone who is boss with a bogey-free 63 to claim a one-stroke lead.

Are you kidding me?! 💥 Scottie Scheffler is doing Scottie Scheffler things. @RBC_Heritage pic.twitter.com/by9vn6dplU — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) April 21, 2024

In the final round, Scheffler laid down the hammer early, chipping in at the par-5 second hole from 53 feet for eagle. His bump-and-run, executed to perfection, marked his 11 th hole-out of the season. He tacked on a birdie at the par-5 fifth and strung together six consecutive pars before the horn blew. When play resumed he wedged to 6 feet for another birdie at 13. When he made his lone blunder, pull-hooking a 4-iron into the water due to mud on his ball at the par-5 15th, he took a penalty drop and carved a beautiful shot to 11 feet. Darkness had fallen and he could’ve wait until Monday to strike the par putt but he opted to play on and sank it for good measure. While that snapped a streak of 53 consecutive holes without recording a score of more than a four on his card, dating to the 15 th hole in his first round, he pumped his fist with glee for keeping a clean card (to that point).

“I felt like I was due for one to drop,” said Scheffler, whose closing bogey gave him a winning total 19-under 265. “So I figured might as well hit it now.”

Clark mounted an early charge, making an eagle and six birdies in his first 11 holes to inch within a stroke of the lead. But his effort to run down Scheffler was spoiled at the 12 th hole when Clark tried to punch between trees. His ball struck one of them squarely and ricocheted out of bounds. He made double bogey.

“It was kind of fun for a little bit,” said Clark, who improved to a career-best ranking of No. 3 in the world. “Seemed like maybe we had a chance to do something crazy.”

Only Mother Nature could prolong Scheffler’s victory another day. Play was suspended due to inclement weather at 4:28 p.m. ET, for two hours and 32 minutes. The delay meant they ran out of daylight.

But on Monday, Scheffler capped off winning for the fourth time this year, all of them Signature events. He finished tied for second in the only tournament he did not win during his scorching run. For the week, he topped the field of 69 in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, SG: Tee to Green, SG: Approach the Green and scrambling.

“We’re watching greatness right now,” CBS’s Jim Nantz said. “It doesn’t happen all the time, but it sure is fun when you find yourself witnessing something like this.

Nantz’s NFL broadcast partner, former Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo, who played in the Invited Celebrity Classic on PGA Tour Champions last week, estimated he’s played around 500 rounds with Scheffler and said he’s never failed to break 70.

“Which is insane,” said Romo who played with him the week before the Masters at Brook Hollow, a Dallas club. “I have not seen a guy hit a golf ball like this since Tiger back in the 2000s when I played with him, the way he was striking the ball, the compression, the trajectory, the spin rate. It was impressive, and I was like, ‘He ain’t losing that tournament.’ ”

No one stopped him at the RBC Heritage either. Could Scheffler be on his way to a season for the record books? That may depend whether history repeats itself — all 10 of his wins have come in the months of February, March and April. So, time will tell if Scheffler can continue to dominate when the calendar flips to May – just don’t bet against the floodgates closing any time soon.
