(AP) — Rory McIlroy won two major championships at age 23. He was the youngest player since Tiger Woods to reach No. 1 in the world. He was won the money titles on the PGA Tour and European Tour in the same season. Now if he can just break par on the TPC at Sawgrass. Or at least make it to the weekend.

(AP) — Adam Scott never had to take this much time walking from the clubhouse to the practice range at TPC Sawgrass. He couldn't take more than a few steps without a player or a caddie stopping to congratulate him for his feel-good win at Augusta National. There were so many fans pressed against the fence to get his autograph that ...

(AP) — Graeme McDowell found just the pick-me-up after a frustrating week at the Masters. The 2010 U.S. Open champion missed the cut at the season's first major by a stroke. Disappointed, he left Augusta National and headed to the RBC Heritage with his fiancee, parents and several friends to de-stress and have fun. ...

(AP) — Charley Hoffman thought he was through with Harbour Town Golf Links and the RBC Heritage. Turns out, he just wasn't ready as a younger player to handle one of the PGA Tour's trickiest layouts.

(AP) — Augusta National kept Tiger Woods in the Masters on Saturday, saying it would be "grossly unfair" to disqualify him for a rules violation that club officials didn't immediately recognize. In a bizarre twist to a complex case, it was a television viewer's phone call that ultimately spared the world's No. 1 player. The viewer questioned ...

(AP) — Phil Mickelson has won three green jackets, and he was the one asking all the questions Sunday during a practice round at the Masters.

(AP) — Bay Hill is not the first chance for Tiger Woods to return to No. 1 in the world. But it might be his best. A win this week in the Arnold Palmer Invitational would allow Woods to go back to No. 1 for the first time since the end of October in 2010.

(AP) — That red shirt is starting to look ruthless on Sunday again. One year after Tiger Woods hobbled off the Blue Monster, he picked up the pace in his march to the Masters. Woods delivered two quick birdies to take the drama out of Doral, and two late bogeys only made his victory in the Cadillac Championship seem closer than it really was. ...

And that's when Graeme McDowell decided to ruin the reunion on the Blue Monster. Woods and Mickelson have sta...

(AP) — Tiger Woods struggled on the practice range, and he didn't feel much better two holes into his second round Friday at the Cadillac Championship. He would not have guessed this would be the day to set a personal record for birdies, much less wind up with a two-shot lead. "All I need is one shot," he said. "And as soon as I feel it on one...

(AP) — Rory McIlroy left before his round was even over. Tiger Woods had to rally just to stick around.
