(John Starks’ No. 3 for me. Look him up, kids. The Beastie Boys even mentioned him in a song. Ugh, look them up too Read more…
As the calendar flipped to January 1, I realized it’s been two months since my last round of golf. The optimistic part of me thought about how I’ve gotten through this dark and cold period relatively well, but the glass-half-empty part started to think about how I’m not even halfway through winter. Depressing stuff. It’s Read more…
The walk-and-talk interview has become more common in recent years with various networks trying to make TV golf coverage more appealing to fans.

A bulked-up Will Zalatoris got his 2025 PGA Tour season off to a hot start on Thursday at the Sentry. But the 28-year-old gave more credit for his opening 65 at Kapalua’s Plantation Course to the work he’s done on the practice range than the work he’s done in the gym. Following the round, Zalatoris Read more…

There was only one thing more predictable than Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy winning the Crypto.com Showdown yesterday in Las Vegas. And that would be that if the duo did win, Scottie wouldn’t understand what he just won.
One of golf’s top young talents has decided to forego playing in college to turn pro. In fact, he’s skipping the the last year-and-a-half of high school. Blades Brown, the top-ranked player in the Class of 2026, announced Tuesday he’s making the leap from amateur golf in 2025. And the high school junior from Nashville Read more…
PGA Tour stars Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will take on the LIV duo of Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka in The Showdown today in Las Vegas. After that, it’s unclear when Sin City will play host to a big-time golf event again.
Scottie Scheffler owned 2024, but he wasn’t a factor in the most riveting finish of the golf season. That took place on Sunday at the U.S. Open at Pinehurst, where Bryson DeChambeau delivered arguably the shot of the year to claim a second major by one shot over Rory McIlroy. On the flip side, McIlroy, Read more…

But before then, here’s a look back. Read more…
Two weeks ahead of Christmas, there will be some people celebrating another kind of holiday for the first time. Or, rather, celebrating the life of an extraordinary man—who happened to be an ordinary golfer. You likely have never heard the name Dr. George F. Grant. I certainly hadn’t until a follower of mine on X Read more…
Admittedly, we’ve reached the point of the year where, well, there’s not much going on in golf. So we got a bit excited when one of the game’s most candid voices decided to host a little Twitter Q&A on Wednesday.

The end of the year is a great time to take stock of your financial situation. You know, get those pesky final expense reports in and then assess just how much you should splurge on Christmas presents, possibly for yourself. And PGA Tour golfers are no different.
