This Week in Golf (Week Ending Saturday, March 28, 2026): Houston Heat, Korda in the Chase, and DeChambeau Does It Again
Golf didn’t slow down this week—it just spread out across the map. Here are the biggest storylines worth sharing with your readers.
🏌️ PGA Tour: Gary Woodland out front in Houston
At the Texas Children’s Houston Open, Gary Woodland surged into the lead at the halfway point with a pair of low rounds and a lot of fan support behind him—especially given his comeback story since 2023. He’s got company on the board, but he’s clearly found something in his swing this week.
Tournament details (including the event week and purse) are listed on the PGA Tour/ESPN coverage pages.
🌵 LPGA: Ford Championship has a tight race at Wild Horse Pass
Over in Chandler, Arizona, the Ford Championship presented by Wild Horse Pass has been a fun one to watch, with Hyo Joo Kim near the top and Nelly Korda right there in the hunt. If this stays close, Sunday could come down to who keeps their nerve on the closing stretch.
🌍 DP World Tour: Jordan Gumberg grabs the Hainan Classic
On the DP World Tour, Jordan Gumberg picked up a win at the Hainan Classic, a strong “keep-it-simple and finish” kind of performance. That’s the sort of result that can turn a solid season into a real step forward.
🔥 LIV Golf: DeChambeau wins again (playoff vs Rahm)
On LIV, Bryson DeChambeau kept rolling by beating Jon Rahm in a playoff to win LIV Golf South Africa. Two straight wins like that changes the conversation fast—suddenly you’re not just playing well, you’re a problem.
🧠 Golf Buddy Take
This week had a clear theme: momentum. Woodland looks comfortable again, Korda is right where you’d expect her to be in a home-state event, and DeChambeau is stacking wins like a guy who doesn’t plan on cooling off anytime soon.
