News about Steve Stricker

According to Scottie Scheffler, LIV defectors should be able to return to the PGA Tour in a 'pathway', but they shouldn't return without any form of compensation. Following Jon Rahm's spectacular switch to the Saudi-backed golf league last month, there has been a lot of discussion among some of the sport's top figures over whether LIV players should be able to re-join the original tours until the historic merger between the three organisations is finalized. "I believe there should be a pathway back for them [LIV defectors], but they certainly shouldn't be allowed to return to the tour without any type of contribution, if that makes sense," Scheffler said to the Golf Channel on Wednesday, ahead of the WM Phoenix Open.

On Thursday, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will debut his bid to become the first player since Steve Stricker in 2011 to win a PGA Tour event in three seasons at the WM Phoenix Open. The 2022 Masters champion, who came off the back of a victory at the Hero World Challenge in December, has started 2024 well, finishing T5 at The Sentry before returning to T16 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am last weekend. He is the favorite to win at TPC Scottsdale, but Sky Bet is giving Scheffler a Boost to win outright at 5/1.

Tiger Woods' family feud with son Charlie, 14, continued on Sunday as he and his son Charlie, 14, took the PNC Championship course in Orlando, Florida, in the golf icon's traditional Sunday red. Woods were also joined by daughter Sam, 16, who was once more on the bag for her golf legend dad after caddying for Tiger for the first time on Saturday as they walked up to the course. The Woods team returned to the clubhouse on eight-under-parody after the first round. After being matched with good friend Justin Thomas and his dad Mike in the first round of Team Woods, Team Woods was disbanded at 10:51 a.m. ET in a clubing with Steve Stricker and his daughter Izzi.

At the Ryder Cup in Rome next September, Luke Donald has selected Nicolas Colsaerts to be his third vice captain. Thomas Bjorn and Edoardo Molinari will serve in Donald's support staff for Europe's war against the United States, which will take place 11 years after he appeared in what became known as the Miracle of Medinah in 2012. Colsaerts defeated Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker in the Friday fourball session, on his debut in Cup competitions.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: A decade ago this month? It may have been yesterday. And so Luke Donald is smiling his way into the midst of an amazing weekend. 'I can't believe it's been so long,' he says. "Even now, it's good to sit down and reflect about Medinah every so often.' That was always his style, a thinker more than a shouter, except for the time he wasn't one, when he stood on a bench and belted out songs with champagne-soaked hair.'
