Boy, do we have a feel-good story involving this week’s Valero Texas Open. Or, rather, a feel-better story. It involves a golfer named Tom Adrounie, who somehow overslept his tee time for last year’s Monday qualifier for the event. And it wasn’t even close.

You would think that living in the middle of Westchester County would make it easy to get to great public golf courses, but, sadly, that’s not the case. While I’m within a 20-minute drive from a few of the most famous private clubs in the country, the number of nearby munis is limited. And the Read more…
It turns out, the seven Kevins – including 18-hole leader Kevin Streelman – tied a PGA Tour record. It also turns out the PGA Tour keeps track of such things. That’s impressive in its own right.
Justin Lower had a round to forget on Day 1 at the Valspar Championship. But his sand wedge wound up having it worse. Lower shot an opening 77 at Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course, which we wouldn’t draw attention to if not for a moment where he finally—and understandably—lost his cool.

Jon Rahm will defend his first title of 2024 when he returns to Augusta National with his green jacket—and some of Mama Rahm’s lentil stew. It’s an odd quirk considering Rahm won three PGA Tour titles before March a year ago, but those are the consequences of leaving for LIV Golf. RELATED: Jon Rahm reveals Read more…
It’s been nearly six months since Europe took back the Ryder Cup with a dominant performance in Rome, but one caddie this week is making sure to remind everyone about it.

For college basketball fans, it’s basically Christmas morning. With all due respect to the play-in games, the real March Madness starts in a few hours when brackets will start busting faster than you can say “NCAA Tournament Selection Committee.” Speaking of which, while Joe Lunardi isn’t officially part of that group, he’s made a career Read more…
On the eve of the Valspar Championship, Thomas insisted that he’s putting better than the numbers say. And we have to say that he had a pretty good excuse for those poor stats.
For those complaining that golf in the Olympics looks exactly like golf almost every other week of the year, you’ll be happy about a new report. You’ll just probably have to wait another four years to see something different.
In three weeks, a select group of golfers who have won the Masters will gather for the annual Champions Dinner. And thanks to Jon Rahm, we already know what they’ll be eating.

During golf’s ongoing distance debate about whether to roll back the gear golfers use, Nick Faldo suggested removing a certain piece of equipment. The six-time major champ’s unorthodox solution to players hitting the ball too far was to ban . . . tees. “They could hit 3-wood, and that would be their optimum,” Faldo said Read more…
While “club captain” always sounds like a fancy title, as the person who shared this video that quickly went viral noted, that “doesn’t mean you are the best player, especially under pressure”.
Thirteen runners-up seems like a lot, but is it really a lot based on Schauffele’s seven wins? I decided to look into how his “runner-up ratio” stacks up against his peers.
Wyndham Clark’s 18th hole birdie attempt looked so good, he took not one, but two steps toward a celebratory fist pump. He was left feeling like he took combo to the gut. The reigning U.S. Open champ’s final gasp capped a dramatic Sunday at TPC Sawgrass as Scottie Scheffler emerged with a one-shot win. The Read more…
We’ve heard time and time again that you never want to tempt the golf gods. But time and time again, that’s exactly what golfers do. Usually it comes in the form of an early walk or fist pump on a putt, which makes the miss that much more painful. During the third round of the Read more…
For most golfers, keeping your tee shot dry on the island-green 17th at TPC Sawgrass ends most of the drama on the treacherous par 3.

Rickie Fowler has been a fan favorite on the PGA Tour since turning pro. On Saturday at the Players Championship, though, one fan clearly wasn’t one of his favorites.
