The USGA is moving away from a playoff format that -- in this day and age -- made it one of a kind in major championship golf.

Previously, when two or more players were tied after 72 holes at a U.S. Open, the tournament was then decided in an 18-hole playoff the next day.

But that has all changed.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Justin Thomas nearly holed a wedge that got him into a playoff, and then hit 3-wood over the water and onto the 18th green for a two-putt birdie to beat Luke List on the first extra hole Sunday to win the Honda Classic.

Thomas closed with a 2-under 68 and won for the second time this season. He also won in a playoff at the CJ Cup in South Korea last fall.

Paradise Awaits You

Nuevo Vallarta has some of the most beautiful white sand beaches along Mexico's Pacific coast.  This tropical beach paradise, located about 25 minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta, is nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre Mountains in a region called Riviera Nayarit. 

Beyond it's gorgeous setting, it also boast an average temperature of 80 degrees, some of the friendliest people you'll meet in your travels, delectable food and, of course, top notch golf!

The Nicklaus Design Golf Course

Surrounded by lush jungle and the Sierra Madre Mountains on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, the Nicklaus Design Golf Course at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta is a natural and technical masterpiece.

This 6,668 yard, par 70 course is a joy to play for every player, from your low to high handicap. But with seven lakes, 49 strategically placed bunkers, and constant, strong crosswinds coming off of the ocean, this course always presents a challenge.

And to fine-tune everyone's game, the nearby Jack Nicklaus Academy of Golf offers an unprecedented level of instruction with state-of-the-art training technology.

The Norman Signature Golf Course

The Norman Signature Golf Course at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta encompasses the finest in golf with unsurpassed course conditioning on wall-to-wall Paspalum playing surfaces.

The exciting layout winds along the banks of the Ameca River providing views of the Sierra Madres from every hole. Large landing areas off the tee give way to large undulating greens protected in typical Norman fashion by cavernous bunkers. Indigenous trees, native grasses and jungle surround the core course layout which is uninterrupted by housing and civilization throughout.

As challenging from the championship tees as it is forgiving from the forward tees, the Norman course offers four different options for players. All this and a trip across the world's longest golf cart suspension bridge spanning the Ameca River from Nayarit to Jalisco, and you'll not experience a round like it anywhere else in the world.

So.... grab your partner and come join us for this unforgettable golf competition and vacation!

Another Waste Management Phoenix Open is in the books, and much like the past two years, more than 18 holes were needed to decide a champion during Sunday’s final round. Gary Woodland finds himself in the winner’s circle after besting Chez Reavie in a sudden-death playoff, tapping in for par and the victory on the first playoff hole. This is Woodland’s third PGA TOUR victory, and his first since the 2013 Barracuda Championship.

Woodland made birdie on three of the final four holes to enter the clubhouse as the outright leader at 18-under par. Reavie – who teed off with the final group – entered the final three holes one shot back. Reavie overcame a bogey on 16 and was two shots off the lead with two holes to play before making birdie on 17. The crowd who walked with the final group all day then found themselves at the 18th green to witness Reavie drain a clutch 21-foot putt to force a playoff.

Woodland and Reavie only needed one extra hole to decide a champion. Both players left their approach shots short of the 18th green, but Reavie’s third shot came to rest outside seven feet, which opened the door for Woodland to tap in for the victory.  It was the fourth-straight PGA TOUR event ending in a playoff, and the third-straight WM Phoenix Open playoff.

Amazing winter weather and an entire city abuzz with anticipation for the 2018 event drew nearly 720,000 (719,179) fans to the tournament during the week. In total, four attendance records were broken (Wednesday, Friday, Saturday) including the weekly total, which broke the previous record (655,434) set just last year by more than 63,000.

Relive the sights and sounds from the final round of #thepeoplesopen!

Some of the biggest names in sports packed Wednesday’s star-studded Annexus Pro-Am to tee it up with the best PGA TOUR players in the world at the 2018 Waste Management Phoenix Open.

2018 Annexus Pro-Am Results

Thousands of golf fanatics flocked to the famed 16th hole after the Pro-Am to watch the Phoenix Suns Charities Shot at Glory, a closest-to-the-pin contest for a chance at $1 million for charity. Spectators on hand were treated to the sight of professional skydivers bringing the American Flag down from the clouds, as well as the Phoenix Suns dance team and firework displays. Dave Wood, senior VP of OUTFRONT Media, secured first place in the contest when his ball came to rest 14 feet five inches from the center pin location. Jim Pitman came in second only five inches outside of Wood’s shot, and Charles Kelley from Lady Antebellum came in third place, 21 feet seven inches from the hole.

Buckle up, sports fans: Thursday’s first round kicks off tomorrow morning at 7:20 a.m. with the afternoon groupings starting at 11:35 a.m.
