Waugh leaves no room for misinterpretation on super league
By DOUG FERGUSONMay 18, 2021 GMT
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) The PGA of America joined with other organizations with statements of support for the PGA Tour and European Tour in response to a Saudi-backed “Super Golf League” trying to lure top players with massive amounts of money.
Seth Waugh, the CEO of the PGA of America, left no doubt about his position.
To chase the money is to give up on the Ryder Cup.
“If someone wants to play on a Ryder Cup for the U.S., they’re going to need to be a member of the PGA of America, and they get that membership through being a member of the tour,” Waugh said Tuesday. “I believe the Europeans feel the same way. And so I don’t know that we can be more clear than that.”
2007 U.S. Women’s Open champion to make her 24th consecutive championship start
LIBERTY CORNER, N.J. (May 10, 2021) – The United States Golf Association (USGA) has announced that 2007 U.S. Women’s Open champion Cristie Kerr has accepted a special exemption into the 76th U.S. Women’s Open Championship, which will be conducted June 3–6 at The Olympic Club (Lake Course) in San Francisco, Calif.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) â The roars returned to Masters. At least two of them.
There were enough spectators, believed to be roughly 8,000 a day, to at least bring some sound back to the gorgeous scenery of Augusta National in April. And they stood six-deep over the final 100 yards of the 18th green â masks on â as Hideki Matsuyama walked up the hill to a one-shot victory.
Missing was that head-turning volume, a brief burst of cheers that made spectators look around and try to figure out where it came from and what they were missing.
One of those roars was for Tommy Fleetwood making a hole-in-one on the 16th hole in the opening round. The loudest of the week was for Corey Conners making his ace on the sixth hole Saturday.
