Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we couldn’t be more excited to be growing the game. That’s right, my oldest daughter, Julia, recently started a town rec golf class. And it looks like we’ve got a future LPGA star on our hands: OK, so we’ve got a ways to go before we declare Read more…
Dylan Wu says the tour underestimated how many top-50 players would play in the ‘fall’ events, thus taking spots from guys battling to keep their jobs.

Life is good right now for Ryan Fox. Coming off the biggest win of his career at the BMW PGA Championship, the 36-year-old New Zealander returned to the site of his previous biggest win as defending champ of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. With all those positive vibes, Fox decided to treat himself to a Read more…
By now we thought we had seen every angle of every Team Europe celebration following its 16.5-11.5 triumph in Italy, but we were wrong. Because before bottles started being popped, there were some tears flowing. In particular, between Luke Donald and Shane Lowry. A new video shows Lowry making his way over to Donald before Read more…
Until Friday morning, we were not aware of high school golfer Tad Griffin, AKA “Clutch Mikey.” And that is a shame. Because “Clutch Mikey” might be one of the game’s best personalities. At the very least, he’s given us one of golf’s all-time best interviews. A senior at Southeastern High School in South Charleston, Ohio, Read more…
If things go to plan for the Phoenix Suns, they’ll be the favorites heading into the NBA Playoffs next spring. And by the end of that playoff run, they’ll also be the best putting team in the league. Matt Ishbia, owner of both the Suns and Phoenix Mercury, announced earlier this week an ambitious plan Read more…
A golfer was arrested in the middle of his round in San Ramon, Calif. His alleged crime? Cheating other golfers. Sort of.

Alan Shipnuck’s “LIV and Let Die: The Inside Story of the War between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf” is scheduled to come out on October 18, but some spicy parts have come out from advance copies and an excerpt released by the Fire Pit Collective.
Max Homa was the lone bright spot for Team USA during their latest loss to Europe in the Ryder Cup, recording the squad’s only winning record and producing its two best highlights of the week. The first, a walk-off chip in that gave the Americans their first full point on Friday, and the second, a Read more…
No one does a rant quite like radio legend Chris Russo. Heck, we talked to the ‘Mad Dog’ about the art of the rant when we had him on The Loop podcast back in January. So it only made sense that Russo would have a strong take on this year’s Ryder Cup and produce a Read more…
We’ve long known that Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the most talented basketball players on the planet. But he also might be one of the longest drivers in the world. Towns has boasted about his prodigious power on the golf course in the past, once claiming he could drive it 400 yards. Well, we certainly Read more…
(Editor’s note: This post originally appeared in November 2022, 10 months before the Europeans were popping bottles in Italy after winning the 2023 Ryder Cup. And based on their reputation for partying, we can only hope Luke Donald shares what this year’s bar tab in Rome wound up being.) To the victor of the Ryder Read more…
The 28-year-old will be the seventh woman to play in a PGA Tour event dating back to Babe Didrikson Zaharias, who made the cut at the 1945 Los Angeles Open. Brittany Lincicome was the last to do it at the 2018 Barbasol Championship.
Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we are kicking ourselves for missing out on a golden opportunity to show off all that Italian we learned from seventh grade through freshman year of college. OK, so finishing that final final exam was one of the greatest days of my life, and I don’t remember Read more…
There wasn’t much that went wrong for Europe during its latest Ryder Cup romp on home soil. It turns out, the ensuing celebration was a different story.
After a drama-filled Ryder Cup week in which a nasty rumor spread about Team USA being “FRACTURED,” Brooks Koepka made his own joke about the Americans splitting up. And he even included props! Following Sunday’s conclusion of the Ryder Cup, Koepka and four other players (Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Max Homa and Sam Burns) posed Read more…
The final score might not indicate it, but there was plenty of drama on Sunday at the 2023 Ryder Cup. There was also a fair amount of history made. Sort of. We’re not just talking about the boring stuff that goes in the record books. That will show the Europeans won 16.5 to 11.5 to Read more…
