Lynch: Anthony Kim, Gary Player are outliers. Only one is a positive Neither will change much, for Player at Augusta National or for LIV with Kim a new winner.

Lynch: The Players isn’t a major and won’t be, unless the PGA Tour makes a big move β€” literally The PGA Tour's push to elevate The Players Championship to major status is causing debate. A new proposal suggests making it a global, traveling event to earn its place among golf's biggest tournament...

Lynch: Patrick Reed’s LIV exit made both sides happy, but no player matters Just like his flip in ’22, Reed’s flop in ’26 will inspire sighs of relief among all parties.

Lynch: Brian Rolapp scored an early win with Brooks Koepka’s return. His tougher battles are coming next In the months ahead, PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp must be able to point fans toward what’s additive, otherwise they’ll focus on what is being deleted.

Lynch: Clock is stuck on amateur hour at PGA of America. Can it move forward? The Ryder Cup fiasco in September was a tipping point when it came to the board’s impatience with Rea and his messaging missteps.

Lynch: As Golfweek celebrates its 50th, the only constant is change 1975 was the year of Golfweek’s debut, when tournaments were hosted by celebrities whose naming privileges have long been erased by whiz kid CMOs.

Lynch: The PGA Tour needs a plan for when a LIV star comes knocking. The path back isn’t complicated. While LIV continues to list, the moment nears when someone aboard starts looking for a life raft.

Lynch: Brian Rolapp’s last job prioritized NFL fans. Let’s hope he doesn’t think his new gig does too A delicate balance needs to be struck between current priorities and longer-term opportunities that boost the overall health of the sport.

Lynch: Caitlin Clark, Kai Trump were opportunities for the LPGA, but they aren’t the answer A professional sports organization isn’t entitled to a free pass from scrutiny or criticism because it’s a women’s league.

Lynch: Forget 54 or 72! The only hole that really matters is LIV’s financial black hole This move illustrates how furiously the league is bobbing and weaving for relevance that it can breezily jettison the format from which its numerical brand derived.

Lynch: The Ryder Cup needs a new vision in the U.S., and new owners The finger-pointing at the U.S. team should wait. More urgent criticism should be squarely directed at the PGA of America for its shoddy mishandling of the event.

Lynch: Luke Donald will keep the Ryder Cup. He should keep the captain’s job, too The fist-pumping and flag-waving didn’t work. Nor did the foul-mouthed heckling of players and their families by Bethpage’s signature cadre of bellicose imbeciles.
