: Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson are expected to make a formidable team at the TaylorMade Drives Relief charity skins game at Seminole on Sunday. At the 2016 TOUR Championship, though, they were competitors, with McIlroy prevailing in a thrilling stretch run that included a three-man playoff (Ryan Moore and Kevin Chappell) on his way to the FedExCup title.
Wolff's first title: McIlroy, Johnson and Rickie Fowler, three of the four players in this Sunday’s TaylorMade Drives Relief charity match, are veteran stars. Relatively little is known of Fowler’s funky-swinging partner Matthew Wolff, who had just left Oklahoma State when he held off fellow newly-minted pro Collin Morikawa to capture the inaugural 3M Open in Minnesota.
Fowler's epic PLAYERS Championship playoff win: It’s the second week of May, so head down memory lane to THE PLAYERS Championship before it moved back to March. Arguably the best finish of any PLAYERS was Rickie Fowler’s surge in 2015. He took just 11 strokes over the final four holes of regulation (3-3-2-3), a PLAYERS Championship record. He was 6 under for his last six holes. Then, in the playoff, he birdied the par-3 17th for the second and third time of the day – after sticking his tee shot inside seven feet all three times. Electric.
Tiger's second title at TPC Sawgrass:At the 2013 PLAYERS Championship, Tiger Woods, the 2001 champion at Sawgrass, joined two-time PLAYERS champions Fred Couples, Steve Elkington, Davis Love III, and Hal Sutton. The victory was No. 78 of Woods’ gilded PGA TOUR career (82 and counting!), and it was in doubt until Sergio Garcia hit his wedge in the water on the way to a quadruple-bogey 7 at the 17th hole.
