You can always tell if an event is special by people wanting to talk about the next one as soon as this year’s edition finishes, and Paul Azinger certainly gave golf fans something to talk about overnight.
We’ve all heard about how much pressure golfers feel on the first tee at the Ryder Cup, but what about the 18th green? With the entire outcome of the biennial event on the line? Max Homa found himself in such a position on Sunday—and the cameras caught him expressing just what that moment felt like. Read more…
What an absolutely electric finish to Day 2 of the Ryder Cup. And we owe it all to Patrick Cantlay. First off, he’s the subject of that nasty rumor going around that he’s causing a “FRACTURED” and “SPLIT” American team, and that he’s not wearing the team hat (Insert your Seinfeld “Who won’t wear the Read more…
We interrupt our Ryder Cup coverage to bring you some breaking news from the celebrity golf world. Dwyane Wade made his first hole-in-one. And he couldn’t have picked a better place to do it. The NBA legend’s ace came on Friday while playing the iconic seventh hole at Pebble Beach. What a spot! Even better? Read more…
They say the Ryder Cup doesn’t start until someone screams, “I can’t hear you!” to the crowd. Well, thanks to Sam Burns, the Ryder Cup has officially started. It took until Saturday afternoon, but the U.S. is finally showing some signs of life. And no one was more fired up than the usually laid-back Louisiana Read more…
A sea of blue once again covered the scoreboard at the Ryder Cup on Saturday morning, but one result may just have well been flashing in neon colors. Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka were supposed to be Team USA’s strongest pairing and for good reason. Zach Johnson had to feel pretty good about trotting out Read more…
If there’s one thing you can count on at a Ryder Cup, it’s second-guessing. And, boy, is there a wave of that rolling towards Team USA after getting dominated during the first three sessions in Rome.
Friday at the Ryder Cup was an absolute disaster for the US team. But according to captain Zach Johnson, things are even worse than they seem for the Americans.
Making golf prognostications is downright impossible. Heck, as a co-host of a golf gambling podcast, I’m well aware of how rarely we ever get anything right ahead of time. But in theory, this should be different when you’re talking about Ryder Cup Team USA personnel moves. And you’re talking about a MEMBER of Team USA. Read more…
Luke Donald has handled everything so far this at the Ryder Cup in Rome—specifically, one cringeworthy question from a reporter on the eve of the event.
The jokes about Viktor Hovland’s short game used to be everywhere. Heck, he even used to join in on them. But the guy who once said he “sucks” at chipping is all grown up now. In fact, he’s now grown into a short-game master. Hovland’s hands were on full display on Friday morning at the Read more…
The Americans had life. At least, in one Friday morning match. The scoreboard in Rome was a sea of blue already at the 2023 Ryder Cup, but the final foursome on the course was up in the air with two holes to play after the Americans won the 16th hole to claw to within one. Read more…
A small city in Georgia has fired its golf course superintendent, not for his work on the greens, but for trying to hire a hit man to kill his brother more than a decade ago. The wild story was first reported by Georgia TV station WJCL-TV and involves a man named Jim Roy Watkins Jr., Read more…
The undisputed King of golf impressions cooked up his latest video, and it’s a freaking masterpiece. It’s honestly impossible to pick a favourite moment.
The Ryder Cup is special because it brings the best golfers on the planet closer than ever for one week every two years. And this year is no exception with team bonding on both sides (Team pajamas?!) reaching a level that would bring a tear to Seve Ballesteros’ eyes. That still doesn’t mean Team Europe Read more…
The roars have already started at the 2023 Ryder Cup—and play doesn’t officially begin for another day. That’s because Viktor Hovland pulled off a rare feat at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club on Thursday. His teammates just wish he had saved it for the actual competition. During a final practice round, Hovland didn’t just Read more…
It’s no secret that handling nerves is key to the success of any pro golfer. And we’ll see guys facing arguably the most pressure-packed situation possible at this week’s Ryder Cup. But while golfers use a variety of methods to (try to) remain calm, we’re pretty sure Colin Montgomerie’s is unique. The eight-time Ryder Cupper Read more…
Thanks to the adrenaline that comes with playing for your country—or contintent in Europe’s case—the Ryder Cup has become one of golf’s most electric competitions in recent decades. Having the 1991 installment garner the nickname “The WAR by the Shore” only added to the drama. Same with “The BRAWL by the Mall (of America)” in Read more…
Long, long before the world was obsessed with the relationship of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the golf world got all worked up over an even more athletic celebrity couple. You had PGA Tour star Rickie Fowler and Allison Stokke of track-and-field fame. Again, it wasn’t quite Taylor-Travis, but it was exciting times around here. Read more…
Despite not hitting a single shot that counts yet, we’re pretty sure this is the best week of Robert MacIntyre’s life. Making his first appearance in the Ryder Cup, the 27-year-old Scot is soaking in every minute of the biennial event—even when he’s sleeping. On Tuesday night, MacIntyre made a final post before he turned Read more…
There’s no doubt that it’s been a big year for Austin Reaves. The 25-year-old guard emerged as a key cog for both the Lakers and Team USA, signed a four-year, $56 million contract to stay in Los Angeles, and was even (falsely) linked to Taylor Swift long before Travis Kelce came along. But it’s on Read more…
Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we wish Taylor Swift was dating a professional golfer instead of a football player. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had some great celebrity couples to cover through the years—from DJ and Paulina to Tiger and Lindsey to Rickie and Allison—but Taylor is just a whole other level. Read more…
