When Sports Illustrated announced last month that Nicklaus would be awarded with the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award, which recognizes the ideals of sportsmanship, leadership and philanthropy, Tiger Woods passed along his congratulations.
Phil Mickelson has dumped swing coach Butch Harmon after working with him since 2007. With Lefty’s two year winless drought his longest since he’s been on tour, it may not come as a complete surprise to many.
The PGA Tour have announced that Jordan Spieth has been named Player of the Year for the 2014-2015 season, whilst Daniel Berger has been awarded Rookie of the Year.
Rory’s gander is properly back up, which is good to hear, especially after this final round performance at East Lakes, when it looked like he had completely lost interest.

There’s an interesting debate going on right now between some of Australia’s top players. A year out from golf’s return to the Olympics, Adam Scott and Jason Day have differing views on the new competition. Scott is not ruling out a no-show, while Day can’t wait to have a go at getting a gold medal round his neck.
Cinderella Story!! When 20 year-old Korean Jin-Young Ko turned up for the Ricoh Women's British Open last wek, she didn't have a caddie, so she asked around and the name of Jeff Brighton, a 17 year old local caddie was put forward.
