Through the Golf Post Live Blog you can follow all results on the PGA Tour live. Alongside the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), the PGA Tour is the world’s largest tournament series in men’s professional golf. The tour attracts prize money that is just as high as the level of the international elite that comes together at quite a few of the tournaments. The annual highlights of the season are the four major tournaments (co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour), the Players Championship and the final FedExCup playoffs, which conclude the season every year. Signature events were created for this purpose. These include the three FedExCup playoff tournaments, The Sentry, the invitational tournaments (Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament) and four other tournaments, which can change annually.

The PGA Tour has gained its importance primarily through its ability to retain top players through the attractiveness of the tournaments and the size of the prize money, which has risen steadily in recent years. The FedExCup is the American equivalent of the European Race to Dubai, with players collecting points throughout the season until the FedExCup winner is crowned in three tournaments in August. The FedExCup playoffs consist of three tournaments: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship and the final Tour Championship. The winner of the Tour Championship also becomes the winner of the FedEx Cup and secures the record jackpot of 25 million US dollars.

PGA Tour: Rookie Leads With Round of 59

Shots are being fired low at the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic. Defending champion Sepp Straka started with a round of 66 and is still only in 27th place, while the leader Hayden Springer celebrated the fourth of July with his very own fireworks: a round of 59 and still only matching the course record.

All Scores at the John Deere Classic

PGA Tour: With an eagle-birdie finish to 59

Springer has only been on the PGA Tour since this year and can already count himself among an elite circle of players who have finished a round with fewer than 60 strokes. There have been a total of 14 rounds under 60, 13 including Springer with a 59 and Jim Furyk with a 58. Springer started with an eagle on hole 2 and followed it up with six birdies on the front nine alone. The birdie fireworks then dried up a little on the back nine. It wasn’t until the 15th that he gained a stroke to get to nine under par, by which time the prospect of a 59 was already close. But he kept his chances alive with an eagle hole-out on the 17th and completed the rare result with a birdie on the 18th.

“It’s like something you dream of, right?”, Springer said after his round. “We all want to go out and shoot 59. You don’t ever really — I don’t know how many chances I’ll ever get at doing that again. To pull it off and hole that shot on 17 and give myself a putt at it and make the putt on 18 was pretty special.”

Paul Goydos already managed a round of 59 at the John Deere Classic in 2010, but the course was played as a par 70 on that occasion.

PGA Tour: Cameron Young Outburst Causes a Stir

Not happy with his game: Cameron Young. (Image: Getty)

For PGA Tour star Cameron Young, the Rocket Mortgage Classic of the PGA Tour, held from July 27 to 30 in Detroit, Michigan, could have been a complete success. Before the final day, Young was in a promising position in the fight for the title. However, the final day did not go as planned, which his driver felt shortly before the end of the round.

PGA Tour: Cameron Young Breaks Driver After Missing Fairway

Looking at the scorecard of the 27 year-old, one might have thought that he could still be somewhat satisfied with his round up to his outburst on the 14th hole, as he was still 1-under-par at that point. However, it could have gone significantly better if Young had managed to get his driver under control. The American found only 3 of 10 fairways up to that point, which is why, after another miss on the 14th, he had had enough. On the par 5, he hooked the ball and once again missed the fairway. As a result, he put his weight on the driver, causing the shaft to break and rendering the club unusable for the remaining four holes. He finished his final round with a bogey-par-bogey finish, ultimately sharing 6th place.
