The annual Cowboy Joe Club golf series, presented by Ford, makes its stop in Laramie Friday at Jacoby Golf Course. These events take place over a four-month stretch during the spring and summer as part of fundraising efforts by the Cowboy Joe Club.

Fourteen-year-old Andy Zhang, of Bradenton, Florida, will make history when he becomes the youngest golfer ever to compete at a US Open tournament.

Just as a 1,000 mile journey begins with a single step, an annual tradition must begin with year number one. That is the hope of Hospice of Laramie, that their inaugural ‘Friends FORE Hospice Charity Golf Classic,’ will become a summer staple and annual event in Laramie.

The University of Wyoming Men's Golf Team is in Arizona this weekend, where they will be competing in the 2012 Mountain West Conference Championship.

During Sunday’s final round of the Frys.com Open, a fan ran at Tiger Woods — who was putting on the seventh green — yelled the former world number one’s name, and then tossed a hot dog at him. “When I looked up, the hot dog was already in the air,” Woods said. “The bun was kind of disintegrating.”

After 778 consecutive weeks as one of the top 50 golfers, Tiger Woods dropped out of the sport’s elite this week. Woods, now ranked 51st in the world, is recovering from injuries to his knees and Achilles tendon that had him sidelined. He finished 2010 in second, and tied for fourth at the Masters earlier this year.

Keegan Bradley, who staged a late-round comeback to force a three-hole playoff, won the PGA Championship on Sunday, edging out Jason Dufner. Bradley became just the third golfer ever to win a championship in his first appearance at a major.

Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that he’s returning to golf…again. It’s been three months since Tiger suited up for a tournament, and he says that he’s finally “good to go” in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.  “My expectation is to win,” he told reporters.
