While the season is still very young and, a

When Jordan Spieth won his first tour event at the age of 19, many saw it as his “coming out party”. That was, however, until his 2015 PGA Tour season which will go down as one of the most impressive in history. Spieth won five events, two of those being majors (The Masters and U.S. Open), and he finished top-5 in the other two. He capped off his season by winning the Tour Championship, and in doing so, became the youngest winner of the FedEx Cup. It had been a long time sinc

​Almost every year on the PGA Tour you find new stars whose games are causing heads to turn. The question is often asked, “Where did they come from?”, and the traditional answer is usually the Web.com Tour, but there is often more to the story than that. Golfers such as Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler who leave college and immediately begin competing on Tour are very rare. For most players, it is a requirement to grind it out on mini-tours just to work their way up for a shot

It was an exciting finish to the first event of the season last week, with Emiliano Grillo taking the crown in his first official start as a member of the PGA Tour. Rolling in a birdie on the second playoff hole to defeat veteran Kevin Na, Grillo instantaneously identified himself as a force on Tour. With a couple solid finishes in Tour events last year, he earned his Tour card just a few weeks ago while capturing the Web.com Tour Championship. He comes into this week’s event

There is a lot on the line this week, and a ton of storylines. Jason Day is now the number one golfer on the planet. His win last week at the BMW Championship moved him into top spot, making him the third player this summer to be named number one in the world. Both Spieth and McIlroy are hoping to take the spot back this weekend at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, but if Day continues to perform the way he has been of late, it is unlikely we will see anyone but him on top of t
