In the aftermath of Keegan Bradley’s dramatic Travelers Championship win, the best Keegan-related content that surfaced came from two decades ago. We’re talking about the old college golf video application that Keegan and his dad put together for perspective schools. And it’s pure gold. See for yourself: RELATED: Keegan Bradley’s Sunday color takeover & an Read more…
We here at The Loop have enjoyed the Twitter musings of Jessica Hadwin the past few years, from documenting husband Adam Hadwin’s misadventures around the house to his bad rounds on the golf course. Apparently, we’re not the only ones. Adam, the 2017 Valspar Championship winner and a two-time Presidents Cupper, hopped on SiriusXM PGA Read more…
Blake Griffin played his final NBA game in April 2023 but didn’t take long to produce a different kind of athletic highlight a few months later at Brentwood Country Club. The six-time NBA All-Star used a 7-iron to make a hole-in-one on the 187-yard second hole and started leading another fast break. “I threw my Read more…
Marcel Siem has put together a long and productive career as a tour pro, including six wins on the DP World Tour. He may also just own one of the most impressive records in golf.
Tommy Fleetwood extended a PGA Tour record he’d like to not have by recording a 42nd career top 10 without a win with his latest runner-up at the Travelers Championship. But it gets even more painful when you take a closer look at his penultimate putt.
Take a look above and what do you see? Collin Morikawa posing after striking an iron shot, right? Well, look closely and you should notice something else. Or, notice, something is missing, that is. Give up? Take another look . . . OK, the answer is that he’s not wearing a glove. And he usually Read more…
J.J. Spaun’s incredible U.S. Open winning putt was an all-time golf instant classic, even if people can’t seem to agree on whether it was from 64 or 65 feet (We’ll go with 65 because it sounds better). But the ensuing celebration by Spaun and his caddie was just as good. Spaun provided fist pumps and Read more…
The 2025 Travelers Championship is quickly turning into the greatest football-golf crossover in history. On Tuesday, the PGA Tour announced NFL executive Brian Rolapp—long expected to be Roger Goodell’s successor as commissioner—as it’s new CEO. And on Wednesday, ESPN announced that a guy with just about more NFL juice than anyone will be part of Read more…
There was a lot of percentages chatter following J.J. Spaun’s dramatic U.S. Open victory on Sunday. The 120-to-1 longshot entering the tournament had only about a one-percent chance of winning midway through the final round and his 65-foot walk-off bomb only had a two-percent chance of going in. But those things had short odds of Read more…
Even during a frustrating week, Rory McIlroy managed to make more golf history. The five-time major champ was never in contention at the U.S. Open, needing a closing birdie on Friday at Oakmont just to make the cut. But the reigning Masters champ finally found some good form on Sunday with a final-round 67. RELATED: Read more…
Add Caitlin Clark to the looooong list of golf fans playing the hypothetical “What would I shoot at Oakmont?” game this week. The WNBA superstar–and avid golfer—made her return to the basketball court on Saturday in thrilling fashion with a 32-point, seven three-pointer performance. But on Sunday, it appears that she’s posted up on her Read more…
J.J. Spaun’s accurate ball-striking is the main reason he entered Sunday of the U.S. Open with a great chance of claiming his first major title. Unfortunately for the 34-year-old, he was a bit too accurate early in the final round. Playing in the penultimate group, Spaun bogeyed the opening hole at Oakmont, but after finding Read more…
A day after a rather animated—and extremely frustrated—Scottie Scheffler pounded golf balls following his round, the World No. 1 was back at Oakmont’s practice range in great spirits. Scheffler had only taken one shot less on Saturday, but having a one-year-old in tow made all the difference. That toddler, of course, was Bennett Scheffler. And Read more…
Ian Poulter came agonizingly close to making his U.S. Open debut this week—as a caddie, that is. The longtime European Ryder Cup star has played in the U.S. Open 16 times, the last of which came in 2021 before he joined LIV Golf. But he told talkSPORT that he would have looped for his son, Read more…
We interrupt our U.S. Open coverage to bring you the story of an Indiana man who was arrested for hitting a golf ball at a police car. And with accuracy like that, maybe he should have a spot in the field at Oakmont. The weird occurrence happened on Thursday in Evansville, as reported by the Read more…
Golfers—specially tour pros—will do anything to improve. But Jason Day did something pretty unusual after a disappointing Day 1 at the U.S. Open. And, so far, so good. The former World No. 1 putted poorly—130th in the field in strokes gained: putting—during an opening 76 that put him in danger of missing the cut at Read more…
We have breaking news to report from the U.S. Open: There are still trees at Oakmont. The famed Pittsburgh course’s tree removal through the years has been one of the hot topics this week, not that it’s made the place play any easier. But if you look hard enough, there are still some around the Read more…
Victor Perez played the role of Jordan Spieth better than even Jordan Spieth on Friday at Oakmont. The 32-year-old Frenchman’s wild ride on Day 2 of the U.S. Open included a hole-in-one, a snowman, and a flying chest bump. Let’s start with the snowman, a triple-bogey 8 on the par-5 12th, Perez’s third hole of Read more…
No one summed up how difficult Oakmont can play than Si Woo Kim after Thursday’s first round of the 2025 U.S. Open. “Honestly, I don’t even know what I’m doing on the course,” Kim said. “Kind of hitting good but feel like this course is too hard for me.” And he had just shot 68 Read more…
One of the best stories from Thursday at the U.S. Open was James Nicholas. The first-time qualifier from Scarsdale, N.Y. via Yale University (NBD) shot a one-under-par 69 at Oakmont to get on the first page of the leaderboard after Day 1 and he got a lot of airtime during USA’s TV coverage. Actually, his Read more…
If you weren’t paying close attention, you probably missed what exactly happened to Bryson DeChambeau on the fourth hole at Oakmont during his opening round. Luckily for the two-time US Open champ, a nearby rules official didn’t.
