The PGA TOUR starts its new Midwest swing at the 2019 Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. The tournament kicks off a three-week span in the Midwest of the United States, including the inaugural 3M Open in Minneapolis and the 49th playing of the John Deere Classic in Illinois.

The inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic will be contested at Detroit Golf Club. New U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland makes his return to competition hoping to climb into the world's top ten for the first time in his career. Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler are also in the field as they look to find some form ahead of The Open Championship next month.

In the 2019 Travelers Championship, Chez Reavie claimed his second victory on the PGA TOUR with rounds of 65-66-63-69 to finish at 17-under-par at TPC River Highlands.

Defending champion Bubba Watson returns to TPC River Highlands looking to join the late Billy Casper as the only four-time winner of the Travelers Championship. In 2018, Watson entered the final round six strokes off the lead, but a sensational 63 saw him go on to claim a three-stroke victory.

The U.S. Open was Woodland’s fourth PGA TOUR victory. He also has two runners-up this season and has finished in the top-10 in eight of 18 starts.

Five of the top seven players in the FedExCup are now committed to the FedEx St. Jude Invitational, which will be played July 25-28 at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.

Woodland shot a final-round 64 at TPC Southwind to finish T18 in the 2013 FedEx St. Jude Classic. It his best finish in four appearances in Memphis. His best finish in the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational is T17 last year at Firestone Golf Club in Akron, Ohio.

The words held most dear don’t live in isolation but gain meaning from the surrounding world. Love, beauty, freedom are among those concepts that lack singular definition but are determined relatively. It’s an eye-of-the-beholder thing. Greatness is another such concept. And the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship could go a long way in setting the context for that standard on the LPGA.

To say that women’s golf is awash in talent right now is an understatement. The great Mickey Wright said: “Every star needs a chorus line.” What the LPGA has is not a chorus line in lowercase letters but rather the uppercase cast from the musical “A Chorus Line” where star turns abound.

Sorting out the favorites at Hazeltine National, a venue that is a star in its own right, is simultaneously simple and difficult. Many among the 156 in the field are playing well enough to win, which makes settling on one or even a few nearly impossible.

Consider this: It’s been two years and 10 tournaments since the LPGA has had a repeat winner in a major. Through 15 events this year there have been 13 winners with Jin Young Ko and Brooke Henderson the only two-time champs.

And since June 12, 2017, six players have reached No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings with 10 lead changes, Ariya Jutanugarn and Sung Hyun Park each holding the top spot three times. So Yeon Ryu, Shanshan Feng, Inbee Park and current No. 1, Jin Young Ko, have all reached the top. The math shows that seven players could emerge this week as Rolex No. 1

Ko, who hit No. 1 after backing up her victory at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup by taking her first major at the ANA Inspiration, now carries the burden of notoriety.
