I really wanted to check the CJ Cup rankings last week but didn’t know the best way. Here’s exactly what I did step by step.
First Attempt: Obvious Google Search
Just typed “2023 CJ Cup leaderboard” into Google. Tons of results popped up but half were sketchy sites wanting my email. Official golf sites buried under ads. Clicked three links that promised live scores – got hit with pop-up surveys about my golf habits instead. What a waste of fifteen minutes.
Switching to Dedicated Sports Apps
Opened ESPN app on my phone. Found golf section after scrolling past football scores. Selected CJ Cup tournament… only showed top 5 players without full rankings. Same thing happened with CBS Sports app – had to watch a 30-second ad before seeing partial leaderboard. Frustrating as hell when you want real-time standings.
Social Media Workaround
Remembered PGA Tour accounts post updates. Checked their Twitter feed – found daily highlight clips but no complete leaderboard. Their Instagram had pretty course photos with minimal scoring info. Clicked through stories of golf journalists covering the event. Found partial screenshots of Round 3 scores in some guy’s Instagram story. Felt like detective work just to see rankings.
What Actually Worked
Finally went straight to the source:
PGA Tour official site had full interactive leaderboard with filtering options.
Game changer features:
- Real-time scores updating during play
- Sort by nationality, current round score or total
- Highlighted players moving up/down the ranks
- No email signup or paywalls blocking access
Mobile site loaded fast without ads interrupting. Also discovered their official app shows detailed stats like driving accuracy and putting averages right beside player names – perfect for nerding out on performance details.
Conclusion? Skip all the middlemen. Go direct to tournament organizers next time. Saved me hours of pointless clicking around.
