“Lauren Coughlin was having a rough go of it in 2026. She started the year with a tie for 27th but then finished near the bottom of the field with a T-62 in the Fortinet Founders Cup and a T-65 at the Ford Championship.
But after playing for a third week in a row, Coughlin came up triple 7s in Las Vegas, winning the 2026 Aramco Championship at Shadow Creek. The victory, her third on the LPGA, was good for $600,000, which accounts for neraly 97 percent of her earnings this season.”

“If you look in the rearview mirror long enough, the details start to blur. But there are certain feelings from my rookie season on the LPGA Tour that remain as clear as day.
I remember the adrenaline, of course. The first tee jitters. The weight of expectations. But mostly, I remember the miles. The endless stretch of highway between the airport and the hotel. The quiet hum of a rental car dashboard when you’re driving alone to a course in a city you’ve never visited. Trying to figure out how to be a CEO, a brand ambassador, and a professional athlete all before you’ve turned 20.”

“It’s early December, six months removed from her breakthrough win at the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open, and Maja Stark is finally starting to feel her competitive fire again.
That might sound like a strange thing to say about a major champion and top 20 player in the world, but Stark’s recent form has been missing something. Despite her Open victory at Wisconsin’s Erin Hills in June, the months since have been somewhat of a struggle.”

“If you’re a golf-agnostic sports editor barracking for the story, Caley McGinty is probably not your girl tomorrow.
It’s not exactly a three-way race to win the Australian Women’s Classic, but the emerging Englishwoman has put herself into a final-round three-ball that has cut itself a little gap on the chasing pack.
She is a future promoter’s dream – a powerful, elegant, well-spoken tyro who is clearly capable of tearing a course apart.
From a golf purist’s point of view, that’s gold.”

“The PGA Tour has recently gotten into the habit of pairing up amateur golfers -- often teenagers -- with stars to play an entire hole together during a pro-am or a practice round before an event.
The pairing of Gary Woodland and Amy Bockerstette from Special Olympics Arizona (with a Matt Kuchar cameo) this week at the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open is probably the best one yet. Amy and Gary met up on the famous par-3 16th at TPC Scottsdale, with Woodland inviting Amy to play the hole with him. After Amy meets Woodland, Kuchar and Kuchar's caddie John Wood, the group walks up to the pro-am tee.”
