Hi,

For the last few years I have been keeping an archive of golf results from the ESPN golf website but recently I havent been able to import the data. I now get the message "NOT FOUND: http://www.espn.com/golf/leaderboard/
The URL you requested does not exist, but you may be interested in the content below.

Is this simply a browser issue or have they blocked people from importing their results?

Can anyone see if they can import data to excel from the following website to see if it works for them?

The Barclays Golf Leaderboard and Results- ESPN

Cheers!

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
I also have this same problem.

Data > From Web
&
New Query > From Other Sources > From Web

both produce the same error
DataSource.Error: The remote server return an HTTP status code '404' when trying to access 'http://www.espn.com/golf/leaderboard/'.
Details:
http://www.espn.com/golf/leaderboard/

I was using this successfully through the 2016 British Open and noticed it start not working for the 2016 PGA Championship.
