You can even get real time scores from tournaments on some sites, allowing you to keep up with the action from the around the world as it happens.
Watch tournaments
You can learn plenty of information about golf players from online resources, but the only way to really learn about a player is to see them play on TV or in person. Watching your favorite golf players hit shots and move around the course will help you identify with the style, and perhaps teach you something about your own golf game. Nothing beats watching the players in action to learn more about their playing style and shot ability.
Not just about the big names
Although you might be familiar with the big names in golf such as Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson, there are plenty of other great players out there. If you want to follow a player’s career closely, then pick someone from your own state or even your local course professional. You might even get to play a round or two with some of these lesser-known players. And if they make it big, you can say you played with them when they started out! Whether you like the big name golf players or are supporting a local favorite, there are plenty of resources to help you find out more about the stars on the greens and fairways.
