HONOLULU (AP) — Steve Stricker came to Hawaii for two weeks of work, just like the old days, but with a twist. Instead of starting at the winners-only field at Kapalua and then going over to the Sony Open, he started at the Sony Open and heads to the winners-only field on the Big Island for the PGA Tour Champions opener.
The question is how long he stays with players his own age.
It's a question Vijay Singh and Davis Love III have contemplated over the last few years.
HONOLULU (AP) — Davis Love III is headed off to play in the Singapore Open, and so is his son.
This will be the 14th time they have played in the same tournament since Davis Love IV — who goes by Dru — turned professional 18 months ago. That doesn't include the PNC Father-Son Challenge, which they won last month with a record score. Nor does it include the 2017 U.S. Open at Erin Hills, where Dru played his first major as a qualifier and his father caddied.
HONOLULU (AP) — Matt Kuchar didn't have the start he wanted Sunday in the Sony Open, not with three bogeys in five holes after making just one through three rounds.
NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Bubba Watson ends the year at No. 12 in the Presidents Cup standings, and his mission is to be at Royal Melbourne one year from now.
But not necessarily as a player.
Watson was asked during the Hero World Challenge what would make a good 2019, and he didn't hesitate.
As much as former President George H.W. Bush loved golf, he was never on the course very long.
For all his passion and heritage in golf — his grandfather and father were USGA presidents — the 41st president was mainly known for being the best example of the Rule 6-7: "Play without undue delay."
Davis Love III discovered this during one outing at Cape Arundel Golf Club in Kennebunkport, Maine.
SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France (AP) — Johnny Miller's first Ryder Cup overseas for NBC Sports was in 1993 at The Belfry, so long ago that Davis Love III was a Ryder Cup rookie who holed the cup-clinching putt for the Americans.
Could he have imagined that 25 years later it would remain the last time the Americans won on foreign soil?
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Latest from the PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club (all times local):
4 p.m.
Davis Love III will join a select group led by Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player when he participates in his 100th major championship this weekend in St. Louis.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods will be in France this year for the Ryder Cup as a vice captain.
Still to be determined is whether he gets to play.
U.S. captain Jim Furyk appointed Woods and Steve Stricker as two more of his vice captains for the Sept. 28-30 matches at Le Golf National. Furyk previously selected two-time Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III to assist him.
Americans finally found the recipe for continuity in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.
The key now is to avoid a closed shop.
Jim Furyk is the Ryder Cup captain for next year's matches in Paris, and it will be the fourth straight team event that he is assigned a radio and a cart. He was an assistant captain the previous three cups in South Korea, Hazeltine and Liberty National.
NEW YORK (AP) — Davis Love III was among four players inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in a ceremony rich in history and praise for the family who helped get them there — and for Lorena Ochoa, a family that allowed her to leave with purpose.
"Golf has improved my life in every way," said Love, a PGA champion and two-time Ryder Cup captain. "This induction is the greatest honor of my life."
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Two putts, a 6-iron and an 11-wood.
Those are among the memorable shots in the Hall of Fame careers of Davis Love III, Meg Mallon, Lorena Ochoa and Ian Woosnam. They spoke about them Tuesday ahead of their inductions in a New York ceremony.
The putts belonged to Love and Woosnam, and they were predictable.
A capsule look at the four players being inducted Tuesday into the World Golf Hall of Fame:
DAVIS LOVE III
Country: United States.
Worldwide victories: 23.
Majors: 1997 PGA Championship.
First victory: 1987 MCI Heritage Golf Classic.
Last victory: 2015 Wyndham Championship.
Signature moment: The rainbow coming out at Winged Foot as he birdied the final hole of the 1997 PGA Championship.
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — With just over a month remaining to qualifying for the Presidents Cup, this is shaping up as a new American team.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Davis Love III can still get some solid work done in a PGA Tour event.
Heading into the World Golf Hall of Fame in September, the 53-year-old Love shot a 7-under 63 on Thursday in The Greenbrier Classic, leaving him two strokes behind first-round leader Sebastian Munoz.
Love is looking for his first win since the 2015 Wyndham Championship, which made him the third-oldest winner in PGA Tour history. He would be the oldest if he wins in West Virginia.
Tiger Woods has found a way to stay competitive without having played for five months.
Woods, who said Monday that he has checked out of a clinic where he was getting help with managing pain medications, still managed to keep in touch with players.
ERIN, Wis. (AP) — The Loves felt the love from the gallery at the U.S. Open.
Davis Love IV made his professional debut at Erin Hills, shooting a 1-under 71 in his first round in a major tournament. His father, PGA Tour star Davis Love III, served as caddie.
The younger Love, who goes by "Dru," called it an "awesome" experience.
"We got a lot of 'Go 3 and 4s' and 'Go Davis,'" Dru Love said. "I think everybody's rooting for us and wanting us to do well."
ERIN, Wis. (AP) — An excited Davis Love IV bolted out the car door after arriving at Erin Hills and went instinctively to pick up his bag when he was stopped by his caddie.
"He goes, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is my job this week,'" Love said in recounting the words of his father, PGA Tour veteran and major championship winner Davis Love III.
ERIN, Wisconsin (AP) — Davis Love III is making his 24th appearance in the U.S. Open, with one big difference.
He'll only have clubs in his hand to clean them, not hit any shots. And for the first time, he'll be wearing shorts at a major championship.
Love is caddying for his son.
Davis Love IV, who just finished college and turned pro, qualified for his first U.S. Open as an alternate from the Georgia sectional qualifier.

Davis Love IV, who just finished at Alabama and turned pro, qualified for his first U.S. Open as an alternate from the Georgia sectional qualifier.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Lee Westwood already had qualified as the best player to have never won a major even before Sergio Garcia won the Masters.
Garcia only made it less of a debate.
The focus is sure to shift between now and the U.S. Open over who fits into that category. When the label first became popular in the early 1990s, it was easy to judge the candidates because of their victories, the number of majors they had played and how many times they came close to winning.
Jim Furyk was appointed Wednesday as the U.S. captain for the 2018 Ryder Cup in France, where his team will try to win on European soil for the first time in 25 years.
Furyk was a unanimous choice by the Ryder Cup committee last month.
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III was so fired up watching the Americans play and win at Hazeltine that he couldn't wait to get out of his cart and get back to playing. He said one of his assistant captains, Tiger Woods, felt the same way.
Both had to wait a while.
Love and Woods were scheduled to play the PGA Tour's season-opening event at the Safeway Open, and both withdrew. One got more attention than the other.
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Tiger Woods will be at Presidents Cup next year with or without his golf clubs.
U.S. captain Steve Stricker said Wednesday he has chosen Woods, Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III and three-time Presidents Cup captain Fred Couples to be his assistants for the matches next year at Liberty National.
International team captain Nick Price said his three assistants would be Ernie Els, Geoff Ogilvy and Tony Johnstone.
CHASKA, Minn. (AP) — Memo to the 11-member U.S. task force organized to break Europe's near-chokehold on the Ryder Cup:
You did well. Now take the next couple years off.
The most lopsided win for the American team since 1981 in the bag, there doesn't seem much need to change the formula that carried the U.S. to a 17-11 win Sunday at Hazeltine National Golf Club. Probably not much need to change the captain, either, after Davis Love III came up a winner in his second time at the helm.
CHASKA, Minn. (AP) — For those U.S. golf fans imagining what it's like to have the Ryder Cup residing in America again, there were always going to be three words of caution:
CHASKA, Minn. (AP) — The Americans are making all the right moves in this Ryder Cup.
Even Tiger Woods.
Europe was riding the momentum as it inched within one point Saturday at Hazeltine. U.S. captain Davis Love III heard conflicting ideas on the radio and by text message from his assistant captains, all of them weighing in with the best lineup for the final session of team matches. The question was Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth, the only Americans who had yet to sit out.
