Casey Martin Qualifies With Golf Cart for Return to U.S. Open-
Casey Martin again will be riding a cart for the U.S. Open at the Olympic Club, qualifying for the golf season’s second major championship six years after ending his professional career. Martin, who successfully sued the U.S. PGA Tour in 2001 for the right to ride a cart because of a degenerative circulatory disorder, was the medalist in yesterday’s U.S. Open sectional qualifying.
The 40-year-old Martin rode a cart during local and sectional qualifying and will use a single-rider vehicle when the U.S Open begins on June 14 in San Francisco, the United States Golf Association said on its website. Click here to read the full story

Davis Love III is going back to The Olympic Club for the U.S. Open, this time as the 48-year-old Ryder Cup captain and not the reigning PGA champion.

Photos from the 2024 Cognizant Classic
GolfWRX is on site this week at the Cognizant Classic —FKA the Honda Classic.
The first leg of the PGA Tour’s traditional “Florida swing,” the Cognizant Classic continues to be contested at PGA National’s Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, host course of the 1983 Ryder Cup and 1987 PGA Championship. The course is known for its famed “Bear Trap,” a three-hole stretch of holes that take their name from Jack “The Golden Bear” Nicklaus, who redesigned the course in 2002.
The Bear Trap includes No. 15 (a par 3), No. 16 (a par 4), and No. 17 (a par 4). All three holes involve water and have led to several big numbers from Tour players over the years.
Check out an assortment of general galleries, WITBs, and pullout albums below.
We’ll continue to update the galleries as more photos flow in from Florida!
