Masters plans for a limited number of spectators in April
Some volume is returning to the Masters, just maybe not the head-turning roars.

In other areas, the Masters in April...
Thomas, English share lead on idyllic start to new year
KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Defending champion Justin Thomas began the new year with an 8-under 65, a share of the lead with Harris English and no bogeys on his card, all of which made him happy Thursday in the Sentry Tournament of Champions. He owes the clean card to Dustin Johnson's caddie. Austin Johnson,...
Masters behind him, Johnson ready to keep going in new year
KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Dustin Johnson will have gone 53 days from tapping in for par to win the Masters by five shots to blasting his tee shot down the hill at Kapalua toward the Pacific horizon. A little rust is inevitable, even with being on Maui for more than a week. Motivation doesn't appear to be an...

Masters field at 84 players heading into the final 3 months
C.T. Pan set a Masters record of sorts by having to wait 571 days from the time he qualified by winning the RBC Heritage until hitting his opening tee shot at Augusta National. In that respect, Daniel Berger doesn’t have it so bad. He has to wait only about 10 months. Berger became a talking point for a...
Column: Tales from the tour in a pandemic-shortened year
Justin Thomas and Viktor Hovland ended the first and last tournaments with birdies. Along the way, the PGA Tour staged 37 events that allowed 91 players to earn $1 million or more.

Column: A major success getting in 7 major championships
HOUSTON (AP) — Already the latest a major championship had ever been played, it was only fitting the U.S. Women's Open had to go an additional day because of rain. Equally appropriate for the conclusion of this surreal season was the winner, A Lim Kim, wearing a mask while she played. “I'm OK to get...

The PGA Tour plans to start the new year with spectators. There just won't be very many. And the views, while as gorgeous at Kapalua as anywhere, will be limited. That doesn't set the tone for the rest of the West Coast swing, where three tournaments already have announced there will not be spectators, two of...
Hovland birdies the last hole to win Mayakoba Classic
PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico (AP) — Viktor Hovland says his nerves are a jangled mess when he gets into contention. It sure didn't look that way at the Mayakoba Golf Classic, where he captured another PGA Tour title with another big putt at the end. Hovland saved par with a splendid 40-yard save from a waste...
