Ryan Palmer has been thinking about redemption at the Byron Nelson Championship, and a chance at home to hold up that trophy.

Tiger Woods will try for a fifth Memorial Tournament title starting later this month. Woods has accepted an invitation to play in the tournament founded by Jack Nicklaus. So have Jason Day, Bill Haas and Sunday’s winner of the Players Championship, Matt Kuchar.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Matt Kuchar looked beyond the edge of the 16th green at a scene packed with enough stress it could wipe away even his smile.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The Players Championship still lacks some definition going into the weekend. At least it still has one of golf’s star attractions.

Brandon Harkins, amateur Nate McCoy and Andrew Roque all share the lead at 3 under after Thursday’s third round at the Canadian Tour 2012 Qualifying School.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The TPC Sawgrass would seem to be the last golf course where a player can relax. That might explain why Ian Poulter and Martin Laird were atop the leaderboard Thursday in The Players Championship at 7-under 65, even if their mood was for different reasons.

Tiger Woods is about the only person not in a panic about his game. These remain curious times for the guy trying to show he can still dominate golf as he once did. In his last four tournaments, Woods walked off the course in the middle of the final round at Doral with tightness in his left Achilles tendon, won by five shots at Bay Hill for his first PGA Tour title in 30 months, was an also-ran at the Masters with his worst performance as a pro and missed the cut at Quail Hollow for only the eighth time in his career.

Jack Nicklaus was so focused on winning his first professional golf tournament, especially one as important as the U.S. Open, that he wasn’t aware of everything going on around him.

Phil Mickelson loved golf before he was old enough to walk and swing a club. It took him on a thrilling ride of major championships and a few spectacular crashes, eventually leading to his induction on Monday night into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

The only questions Tiger Woods is fielding before his next tournament are from his fans. Instead of a news conference before this week’s Wells Fargo Championship, Woods answered 19 questions that were submitted through Facebook and Twitter.
