McIlroy made it pretty clear he’s still got issues with at least two LIV defectors during his Wednesday press conference ahead of the 2024 Dubai Desert Classic.
There’s certainly room to improve for Justin Thomas coming out of 2023. He finished 71st in the FedEx Cup standings and was off by his standards. Well, now’s the chance as JT will make his 2024 debut at The American Express, a tournament he last played in 2015 with a seventh-place finish. World No. 1 Read more…
Another week, another longshot gets it done on the PGA Tour. Sadly, we were not on Chris Kirk at Sentry nor Grayson Murray at Sony, but it’s good to see the mega bombs can still get it done. There are big tickets to be cashed in 2024. Shoutout to Brandon Gdula, who was on Keegan Read more…

The redemption of Grayson Murray is now complete, at least as far as PGA Tour success goes—the man has come from the depths, and on Sunday he won the Sony Open.

The PGA Tour heads to the desert this week for the American Express, the first stop on the West Coast swing.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The Edel Array family of putters on the surface include one blade and three mallets but literally encompass thousands through an array (get it?) of custom fitting options.
