Just wondering if PGA exemptions are cumulative? If someone wins two majors in the same year, are they exempt for 10 years(5 years for each major) or just 5 years?

I was watching the 1st round of the Mercedes tournament last night and was wondering why each player was signing their golf ball at the end of their round...then depositing this golf ball into the Fedex Cup trophy. I missed the reason for this...anybody know?

Anyone know what putter David Toms is using at the Players? Just curious...

Anyone else notice Jason Day was carrying a R9 umbrella when the rain first started falling? Quite quickly afterwards, the umbrella was nowhere to be seen... He had a nice all white tm umbrella to stand under.

Who do you think will win the 2016 "Masters"

http://www.golfweek.com/news/2011/jan/06/notes-applebys-last-minute-adjustment/ The good news is, Stuart Appleby didn’t start the round with 15 clubs, which is a penalty. The bad news is, he had only 13 and the missing one was a rather important one – his putter.
