Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we are oddly intrigued by a potential Brooks Koepka vs. Bryson DeChambeau boxing match. Look, I’m not a fight guy at all. In fact, I didn’t even know who Jake Paul—where this whole idea came from—was before Brooks appeared on his podcast. But now that he’s floated Read more…
George Bryan will make his long-awaited PGA Tour debut at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship next month. Judging by his latest YouTube video, the 35-year-old couldn’t be more locked in.

The sport of long drive doesn’t usually bring to mind the phrase “It’s a game of inches,” but that’s exactly what it turned out to be for Kyle Berkshire on Monday (AEDT). Twice.
Depending on who you talk to, LIV Golf is either doomed or about to dominate the pro golf landscape. Yes, we’re referring to the ever-optimistic Phil Mickelson with the latter.

Golf fans have all very familiar with the phrase “sleeping on the lead,” but what about “eating on the lead”? Or, in Beau Hossler’s case, it’s actually eating to the lead. The 28-year-old PGA Tour pro is one shot ahead at the halfway point of the Zozo Championship, but he has been winning all week Read more…
Golf fans are well aware of the feud between Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau. Before LIV Golf came along, it was basically all we talked about. Ah, simpler times. But the two have squashed their very public beef since joining the new league. And this summer we declared it officially dead when Brooks surprised everyone Read more…

The golf world was focused on Lexi Thompson’s first PGA Tour round on Thursday, but Beau Hossler took a big step toward winning his first PGA Tour title. It just might not be as big as you’d think. Hossler fired an opening 62 at TPC Summerlin to grab the Day 1 lead at nine under. Read more…
An old photograph of Pamela Liebman playing golf at Trump Bedminster shows her taking a phone call—while taking a swing.
