A final resolution to golf's anchored putting issue will be announced at a Tuesday morning news conference conducted jointly by the United States Golf Association and the R&A.

Padraig Harrington believes anchored putting strokes should be banned and is fully behind the pending proposal to outlaw the method. But that didn't stop him from using a belly putter on Thursday at the Wells Fargo Championship.

His round at Bay Hill witnessed the kind of outing that is rare for Woods, a combination of spectacular and awful, and a rather stunning finish of three straight bogeys, writes ESPN.com's Bob Harig.

Arnold Palmer is against having two sets of rules for professional and amateur golfers and is not in favor of "contraptions," such as belly putters, long putters and anchored strokes.

The magic he found on the Doral putting green earlier this week continued Friday for Tiger Woods, who rolled in a slew of birdie putts to take the 36-hole lead over a star-packed leaderboard at the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

Tiger's getting putting tips yet leads after 36 holes. Rory McIlroy finally broke par in 2013, but he's 11 shots back. So what's one to make of it all at Doral?

Rory McIlroy opened the first round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship on Thursday with a 73, while playing partner Tiger Woods shot a 66 for a share of the lead.

Tiger Woods rode a hot putter to a share of the lead at the WGC-Cadillac Championship on Thursday. A close friend -- and fellow tour pro -- might deserve some of the credit, though, writes ESPN.com's Bob Harig.

Tiger Woods reiterated his position on the anchored putting debate Wednesday, saying that he doesn't believe the practice should be allowed.

As the comment period comes to a close Thursday on the proposed anchor ban, Bob Harig combs through the arguments to shed light on the topic.

After the belly putting ruling came down, Keegan Bradley felt a bit of a stigma on his back. Now, after a 69 on Thursday, the major winner feels he's got something to prove, writes ESPN.com's Bob Harig.

Keegan Bradley is gearing up to fight the governing bodies of golf if they decide to ban the long putter, and the American is hoping others will rally around the cause, too.

How exactly did Ernie Els resurrect his career with a win at the Open Championship? It all started with his eyes, and a different kind of putting coach, writes ESPN.com's Bob Harig.

Not so long ago, Ernie Els' game took quite a downturn. Ten years after his last Grand Slam triumph, the Big Easy clutched the Claret Jug for a fourth career major victory, writes ESPN.com's Bob Harig.

There were putting woes and losses to journeyman golfers. Eventually came the first victory since 2009. So, how did Tiger go from missing the cut at the PGA to celebrating at Bay Hill on Sunday?

With 34 putts in Round 1, Tiger Woods stands right on the cutline and needs to make up some ground Friday if he wants to play the weekend at the Honda Classic, writes ESPN.com's Bob Harig.
