Eamon’s Corner: Viktor Hovland’s win a reminder that golf isn’t all about Goliaths

Golfweek’s Eamon Lynch discusses how there’s so much more to professional golf than the big names.

The world’s best golfers were in Mexico City last week for the WGC-Mexico Championship.

If you wanted to see the real beauty of the game, you should have been watching the Puerto Rico Open.

Viktor Hovland has been touted as a future star on the PGA Tour for some time. He won the U.S. Amateur in 2018 and was the low-amateur at both the Masters and U.S. Open in 2019. In just his 17th start on Tour, the 22-year-old Hovland won in Puerto Rico with a clutch putt on the final hole, claiming victory by one stroke over journeyman Tour player Josh Teater.

Eamon’s Corner: The fall of the AT&T Byron Nelson at Trinity Forest

In the latest edition of Eamon’s Corner, Golfweek’s Eamon Lynch unpacks on what the AT&T Byron Nelson’s move from Trinity Forest means.

Earlier this week we learned that the AT&T Byron Nelson will be played at Trinity Forest near Dallas for the final time in May of 2020.

Sparse crowds, declining tournament revenues and logistics issues led to the change, as did the actual course itself. The decision to move the event is a loss for fans who fancy themselves golf course architecture aficionados.

So, what’s next for the event? Maybe a move to a new home in Frisco, Texas? Or a possible return to it’s former host course, which players previously voted the worst on Tour?

Eamon’s Corner: Fans not likely to let up on Patrick Reed anytime soon

It was five days after New Year’s Eve before we got the fireworks. But the Sentry Tournament of Champions was a great way to usher in 2020.

It was five days after New Year’s Eve before we got the fireworks.

But the Sentry Tournament of Champions was a great way to usher in 2020, thanks in part to the man who has kept the lights on in golf all winter: Patrick Reed.

The finish at Kapalua augurs much for the year ahead. It’s also a fair indication of how Reed’s year will go.

The catcall of “cheater” just as Reed stroked a putt shows that golf fans, like fans in any sport, need someone to root against. It’s the lifeblood of any sport. The hope that others lose and lose painfully.

Eamon’s Corner: Phil Mickelson and the delicate balance between politics and sport

Eamon Lynch on Phil Mickelson’s decision to skip the Waste Management Phoenix Open for the controversial Saudi International.

[jwplayer R7sUG9co-9JtFt04J]

The issues that PGA Tour players are likely to take a stand on pretty much end at slow play and high taxes.

When it comes to things like beheading, genocide and human rights abuses, the response is utterly predictable: we just want to play golf.

In the latest installment of Eamon’s Corner, Eamon Lynch unpacks on Phil Mickelson’s decision to skip the Waste Management Phoenix Open for the controversial Saudi International, a tournament that is little more than a public relations fig leaf for the government.
