Good Monday morning, golf fans, as Team Singh were the victors at a very entertaining PNC Championship.

1. Team Singh takes the PNC

Adam Woodard for Golfweek…”Three-time major champion Vijay Singh and son, Qass, started off hot and finished strong on Sunday to claim the 2022 PNC Championship at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando. Team Singh made birdie on each of the first seven holes and added two more on Nos. 12 and 13 before an eagle on the par-5 14th tied the lead at 24 under. A birdie on the 16th gave the Singhs the solo lead at 25 under and another on the 18th gave them a two-shot lead at 26 under. The Singhs shot 59-59 to become the first team to shoot two sub-60 rounds in PNC history.”

Full piece.

2. And team Woods…?

Golf Channel’s Brentley Romine…“Team Woods (65) ended up six back and tied for eighth.”

  • “Charlie and I, we played great yesterday,” Tiger said. “And today we were both like walking penguins out there. It was all good, though.”
  • “A day after posting a 59 of their own, Tiger and Charlie only carded seven birdies and an eagle while also bogeying Nos. 7 and 17 in the scramble format.”
Full piece.

3. Rozner wins Mauritius Open

AP report…”French golfer Antoine Rozner produced a brilliant burst of scoring on the front nine on Sunday to win the Mauritius Open by five shots and become a three-time European tour champion.”

  • “Rozner, who started the final round with a two-shot lead, extended his advantage to five after carding an eagle and three birdies over the first nine holes.”
Full piece.

4. Daly slated for knee replacement surgery

Golfweek’s Adam Schupak…”Tiger and Charlie Woods aren’t the only ones hobbled this week at the PNC Championship.”

  • “Former two-time major champion John Daly revealed that he is scheduled to have left knee replacement surgery Wednesday. Daly, 56, who has dealt with osteoarthritis, previously had his right knee replaced three years ago.”
  • “It’s tough when you don’t have a follow-through,” Daly told pgatour.com. “I’m basically just trying to stay on one leg. But the adrenaline of playing with my son will get me through.”
Full piece.

5. Report: LIV COO resigns

ESPN news report…”The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers executive hired to be the chief operating officer of LIV Golf has resigned after one year as the Saudi-backed rival circuit moves toward a league format, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach.”

  • “The news was first reported by The New York Times.”
  • “Atul Khosla was expected to lead LIV Golf into its franchise model of 12 four-man teams in which players and the LIV Golf League would have equity.”
Full piece.

6. Charlie Woods’ NIL numbers

Jim Gorant for Sportico…”Next fall Charlie should enter high school, a realm currently coming to grips with NIL money, which could jump start the son’s asset accumulation. “Charlie is in rare air, just from name recognition alone,” said Sam Weber, the senior director of communications at Opendorse, an NIL platform. “He’s similar to Arch Manning, Bronny James and even Shaquille O’Neal’s sons in that way.”

  • “How does that sort of family legacy translate to cold hard NIL cash? “He’s probably looking at seven figures as soon as he’s eligible,” Weber said, adding that it “would be surprising if the brands that have been prominent in Tiger’s career would not want to join the fold. You can almost see the Nike commercial with the two of them.”
Full piece.

7. Bubba: Fear of criticism delayed LIV move

Michael McEwan for Bunkered…”Bubba Watson has revealed that worrying about what people would think of him made him hesitant to join LIV Golf.

  • “In this day and age, it’s so easy to make up a fake name on social media and say what you want and there are no consequences,” said the American. “Nobody gets in trouble and that’s really sad to see.
  • “For me, personally, that’s what I was dealing with when I was trying to sign the paper. I was so worried about what people were going to say to me and think about me. But I can honestly say that I’ve had nobody, face to face, say anything negative.”
Full piece.

8. Berkshire breaks ball speed record

Matt Cradock for Golf Monthly…”Kyle Berkshire is arguably the longest driver of the golf ball we have ever seen, with the American a two-time Long Drive World Champion and the owner of several World Records when it comes to the pursuit of distance and speed.”

  • “Now, on Thursday, the 26-year-old can lay claim to yet another record, as Berkshire delivered a frightening ball speed of 236.2mph. No, that is not a misprint, 236.2mph!”

Testing Lorem Ipsum

Published

on


What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Photos from the 2026 PGA Championship

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
