    LIV players mixed after meeting proposed investor With LIV Golf's future still murky, players met with CEO Scott O'Neil and the league's proposed new investor on Tuesday for about 50 minutes, and while some claimed progress was made, others were noncommittal.

  2. By Yoo Jee-ho SEOUL, Aug. 19 (Yonhap) -- Going up against elite fields in the two remaining tournaments of the annual PGA Tour playoffs, South Korean veteran Kim Si-woo knows his time is running out to pick up a win in 2026.

  3. In a testament to his consistency, Kim is ranked fourth in the FedEx Cup points standings, the highest position by a winless player this year. He has had the second-most top-10 finishes on the tour with a career-best 11, including three runner-ups. He also leads the tour with 60 under-par rounds and 49 sub-70 rounds.

  4. The BMW Championship is open only to the top 50 players in FedEx Cup points following the playoff opener from last week, the FedEx St. Jude Championship. And the top 30 players after this week will qualify for next week's finale, the Tour Championship. And Kim is virtually assured of his place in the exclusive-field event.
