In January, the PGA Tour snubbed him by leaving him off a list of locals playing at Torrey Pines—even though he went to TORREY PINES High School. Read more…
On the bright side, it could have been worse for this poor social media admin: they could have misspelled Rahm’s new teammate’s name. Hell hath no fury like Tyler Hatton.

You can’t jump on a ride-on mower and take out the fescue on the right side of the second hole in an effort to find your ball. But if you happen to accidentally rip some grass out as you reach down into the rough and scratch around for your ball, there is no penalty according to Rule 7.1.

Every year, we sign up for the Masters lottery, and every year we get denied. It’s a rite of passage, a beautiful tradition to remind us to strive for greatness even if we come up short. But, if we were ever to receive that vaunted invitation, the chaos could only be compared to that of Read more…
There are multiple parts to the collaboration, but the one that will grab golf fans’ attention the most is called, “Any Shot, Any Time.” And it’s just what it sounds.

Hatton reportedly received a $US60 million signing bonus. He had been in negotiations for more than a month, and it is believed the hold-up was due to Ryder Cup eligibility concerns going forward. However, it was his Europe teammate, Rory McIlroy, who put his mind at ease.
