The PGA Tour returns to Florida for the Valspar Championship. The players will be greeted by a monster of a course, as Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course is always one of the strongest tests each year. The par-71 layout can be stretched over 7,300 yards featuring water hazards sometimes on both side of the fairway and smaller than average greens. Par is often a welcome score. The key stats I will be looking at for this week will be players who can hit fairways with less than driver consistently, get up and down around tricky greens and strokes gained approach as hitting these greens will be a k...

Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman win Zurich Classic of New Orleans April 25, 2021   Cameron Smith drains winning par putt in playoff to win 2021 Zurich Classic AVONDALE, La. — Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman outlasted Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in a playoff that capped a tight and tense final round Sunday. RELATED:  Smith and Leishman won with a par on their second trip up the par-5 18th after Oosthuizen pushed his tee shot into the water and narrowly missed an 11-foot putt for boge...

The Australians forced the playoff by shooting a 2-under 70 in alternate-shot play at the PGA Tour's lone regular-season team event. Oosthuizen and Schwartzel began the round with a one-stroke lead, but shot a 71 with three pars and two bogeys.

  Peter Uihlein & Richy Werenski birdie No. 18 at Zurich Classic The cold weather state of Massachusetts has plenty of rich golf tradition (think Francis Ouimet, 1913, and Paul Azinger was born there), but it doesn’t turn out too many professionals on the PGA TOUR. Two Bay State natives decided to team up at this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, and had some pretty strong results. Peter Uihlein, hot off his victory on the Korn Ferry Tour last week, joined up with Richy Werenski to tie the low round in Sunday’s foursomes format at the Zurich Classic. Ev...

AVONDALE, La. (AP) — Cameron Smith's aggressiveness on the TPC Louisiana's water-lined 16th hole appeared to doom his team's chances of winning the Zurich Classic when his 294-yard drive bounced off an embankment near the green and into the water. Smith's teammate, fellow Australian Marc Leishman, then flipped the script with a deft chip. Leishman made birdie after a penalty drop in the rough, about 23 feet from the pin, pulling him and Smith into a tie with the South African duo of Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel that wasn't broken until the Aussies won the first playoff hole Sunday....
