SPRINGFIELD, N.J. – In the normal rhythm of a golf season, there is ample time to exhale after golf’s biggest tests. The majors stretch across five months, and there’s plenty of time to recover, reflect and react. Time to breathe.
Not so this summer. Golf’s re-entry into the Olympics after an absence of 112 years has reworked and condensed the summer schedule. It’s more jammed than a Manhattan rush hour, with big tournaments aligned bumper to bumper.

For Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson, it’s back to work at PGA Championship
