World number one Scottie Scheffler confirmed his position as world number one with a dominant performance on Friday at Augusta as Tiger Woods dug deep after a terrible start to make the halfway cut in the 86th Masters.
Play-offs aren’t always exciting (remember Mike Weir and wotsisname* in 2003?), but the three-way, 18-hole play-off in 1962 between Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Dow Finsterwald, showed the most exciting player in the game at his thrilling best.
Rory McIlroy is not a fan of the R&A and USGA's Distance Insights Project, well I'll go to the foot of my stairs! We should not be surprised that one of the bigger hitters in golf doesn't want to be reined in after all turkeys don't vote for Christmas.
For the first time since 1955 there will be no live coverage of any golf on the BBC in 2020. The BBC has lost their rights to show any live coverage of the Augusta event which means that the UK pay TV Channel Sky is now the only place to watch live coverage of the majors. This is the end game for millions of golf fans who have seen the free to air coverage of their favourite sport fade and die in the hands of the BBC over the past decade.
Tiger Woods. The incredible story so far...

Phil Mickelson has done some of the maddest things on the golf course ever. Last night at Shinnecock Hills he went completely over the edge of reason. It's enough to make you question the man's sanity...
Jordan Spieth is one of the best golfers on the PGA Tour these days. Still just 24, the Dallas native already has a trio of major trophies on his mantle and he is only a PGA Championship victory from completing the career sweep of the Tour’s most prestigious tournaments. Spieth will be looking to improve upon his 2015 second-place finish at the PGA later this year.
The R&A won't like this, but Rory McIlroy has gone on the record to state that he believes that the Masters has now overtaken the other major championships as "the biggest golf tournament in the world".
Edinburgh golfer Gavin Scott was saved from missing out on the chance to shoot for $1million and a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Masters after playing the popular Million Dollar Hole in One (MDHIO) competition – by letting another group play through.
