Golf set for another major PGA-LIV face-off as Koepka looks to defend his title and Scheffler aims to continue winning form when PGA Championship begins on Thursday. A still ball. Some steadfast tradition. And a sport in the throes of a disruptive market. The PGA Championship, starting Thursday, is another opportunity for golf to navigate the enduring tension between elite skill and profound skullduggery. It is fitting perhaps that the defending champion Brooks Koepka carries the flag for LIV Golf, which has poured an unimaginable stash, soaking the game in confusion and controversy. The field is stacked — 16 former champions and 33 major champions, besides 98 of the top 100 in the rankings. Clearly, the stage is set for another round of this bruising bout between the incumbent powers of the traditional circuits of golf and an irreverent, disruptive new circuit.

Players who stayed loyal to the PGA Tour amid lucrative recruitment by Saudi-funded LIV Golf are starting to find out how much that loyalty could be worth. The PGA Tour on Wednesday began contacting the 193 players eligible for the USD 930 million from a "Player Equity Program" under the new PGA Tour Enterprises. The bulk of that money — USD 750 million — went to 36 players based on their career performance, the last five years and how they fared in a recent program that measured their star power. How much they received was not immediately known. Emails were going out Wednesday afternoon and Thursday informing players of what they would get. One person who saw a list of how the equity shares were doled out said the names had been redacted. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because many details of the program were not made public.

Tiger Woods' 100th competitive round at the Masters 2024 golf tournament didn't quite live up to expectations. Despite his remarkable career and past successes at Augusta, this round proved to be challenging for the golfing legend. With a score of 5-over-par 77, Woods concluded the tournament at 16-over par, marking it as one of his least impressive performances at the Masters. This outcome, coupled with finishing last among the 60 players who made the cut, added a somber note to an otherwise illustrious career at Augusta.

Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler. As many as seven golfers exchanged the lead on a roller coaster day, even as the Sun shone brightly over Augusta. In the end though, there was just one possible outcome, or so we learnt. Scheffler, the irrepressible world No.1 survived a midround stumble to work his way back to the top of the leaderboard. Nothing else has felt more certain this week. A 71 was enough to hoist him to the top at 7-under 209. Scheffler has momentum and history supporting his claims for a second Green Jacket. As many as 28 of the last 33 Masters champions started Sunday in the final group (according to Justin Ray of the sports intelligence outfit, Twenty First Group). The first win at Augusta had also come to Scheffler when he slept on the 54-hole lead in 2022. The world No.1 was quickly up by two with birdies at the first and third holes. A double bogey at the tenth was his biggest stumble on the day. He fired his iron too hot, sending the ball rolling 27 yards behind the pin. Scheffler sent his third 60 feet past the flag, eventually taking a six. At the eleventh, once again from the middle of the fairway, as he was on the tenth, Scheffler left his approach just short of the green. He fell back to four under, caught in the vortex of a downward spiral.
