Five storylines to follow at the PGA Championship

Five storylines to follow at the PGA Championship

May 11 : Five storylines to follow during the 2026 PGA Championship, the second major of the year that begins on Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania: SCHEFFLER EYES REPEAT AFTER NEAR MISSES World number one Scottie Scheffler will arrive at the PGA Championship in familiar territory: firmly among the favorites, even if his recent run has been marked more by near-misses than trophies. Scheffler, the defending champion after winning last year’s tournament at Quail Hollow by five shots, has finished runner-up in his last three starts, including at the Masters, where Rory McIlroy beat him by one stroke at Augusta National. The American also finished second at the RBC Heritage and the Cadillac Championship, the latter by six shots behind Cameron Young, continuing a sequence that underlined both his consistency and his frustration at not converting chances. Scheffler has already won on the PGA Tour this year, capturing The American Express in January, but his form since the Masters has kept the spotlight on whether the 29-year-old can turn another week …

Rory McIlroy Says LIV Players Should Be Able to Return to PGA Tour, but He’s Not Sure They Want To

Rory McIlroy Says LIV Players Should Be Able to Return to PGA Tour, but He’s Not Sure They Want To

Published by Sam Flores

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Rory McIlroy is no longer opposed to LIV Golf players returning to the PGA Tour, but he said Friday that “it’s a question of if they do want to come back.” McIlroy said the answer will likely depend on what happens with LIV’s financial situation in the coming months. Last month, Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund pulled the plug on future funding for LIV Golf, which had lured away stars including Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau with lucrative, guaranteed contracts. LIV’s uncertain future raises new questions about whether some players should be allowed to return to the PGA Tour — and if so, under what set of rules or penalties. Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton are among the players who remain under contract with LIV beyond this season. “If it is a scenario where they have the option to come back and play on the traditional tours, I think (PGA Tour CEO) Brian Rolapp has said anything that makes this tour stronger, anything that makes the DP World Tour stronger, I think …

Mickelson withdraws from PGA Championship for family health reasons

Mickelson withdraws from PGA Championship for family health reasons

Published by Sam Flores

May 5 : Six-times major champion Phil Mickelson has withdrawn from next week’s PGA Championship due to a personal health matter with his family, tournament organisers said on Tuesday. The announcement comes just over a month after Mickelson said ahead of the Masters that he was taking an “extended” break while his family deals with a personal matter. Mickelson will be replaced in the field by the first alternate, Max Homa. Mickelson had missed the first four events of LIV Golf’s 2026 season due to the same ​family health matter and had just returned to ​action on the breakaway circuit in South Africa, where he finished in a ​share of 48th, before announcing his decision to step away. Mickelson produced one of golf’s most improbable wins when, at age 50, he won the 2021 PGA Championship to become the oldest major champion. He won his first PGA Championship in 2005. The year’s second major is set for May 14-17 at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Source link

Producers Guild Sets PGA Awards Dates for 2027 and 2028

Published by Daniella Wilson

We’re not even halfway through 2026, but on Tuesday afternoon, three major Hollywood organizations revealed the dates of their 2027 and 2028 awards ceremonies. First up was the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Oscars, around which the rest of the awards-industrial complex revolves. Then came SAG-AFTRA and the Actor Awards. And now, the Producers Guild of America has announced that its PGA Awards ceremony, which was held in 2026 on Saturday, Feb. 28, will take place on Saturday, Feb. 27, in 2027 and on Saturday, Feb. 19, in 2028. Notably, the 2027 PGA Awards ceremony will take place during the final round of Oscars voting (which will run Feb. 25-March 4), increasing the possibility that the selection of the guild’s members could influence the selection of the Academy’s members. (The guild is also the only major awards body other than the Academy to choose its winners via a preferential ballot.) The Producers Guild also announced a number of other key dates pertaining to the 2025-2026 awards season: Eligibility Period for 2027 …

Barry Diller Quips About David Ellison, Harvey Weinstein

Barry Diller Quips About David Ellison, Harvey Weinstein

Published by Daniella Wilson

While introducing Producers Guild of America Milestone Award nominee Jason Blum at the PGA Awards on Saturday night, Barry Diller made digs at David Ellison, as well as the guild itself, for giving the honor to people like Harvey Weinstein and Les Moonves in previous years. “Samuel Goldwyn, Adolph Zukor, Jack Warner — What would Jack Warner do to know he’d been succeeded by a stunt pilot?” Diller, chairman of internet and media conglomerate IAC and an executive who led Paramount Pictures and Fox, said, which evoked audible gasps and laughs from the audience. Current Paramount chairman and CEO Ellison, who has been in the news in recent days for the mega merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, is a licensed pilot for helicopter aviation, aerobatics and more. Warner, of course, was the founder and president of Warner Bros. Studios. Diller, a longtime friend of Blum’s, continued: “Cecil B. DeMille, Disney, and now Blum: Not the most obvious succession, but then you also gave this award to Harvey Weinstein and Les Moonves. So there’s …
