The Bryson DeChambeau haters must be spinning with glee right now. It has now been a month-long stretch of Bryson lighting it up early but failing to cash in when it counts. First, he stumbled at LIV Doral, shooting a final-round 75 after beginning Sunday with the lead. Then, he electrified the crowd on Saturday Read more…
This week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson does not boast what we’d describe as a strong field, especially coming on the heels of the Masters, the RBC Heritage and yes, even the Zurich, where recent career grand slam winner Rory McIlroy graced New Orleans with his presence. That said, we will see the Texas duo of Read more…
Blades Brown, a 17-year-old phenom from Nashville, Tennessee, was given a sponsor’s exemption into this week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson on the PGA Tour. A golden ticket to professional golf’s Wonka Factory, if you will. In a stunning move, Brown … gave it up?
Golf Games Explained is exactly what it sounds like. You want to mix it up and try something new for once? Well, someone has to do the thankless work of playing different golf formats and telling you if it’s worth it. You can thank me later. It is officially golf season basically everywhere right now, Read more…
It has been nearly one full year since Cal Clutterbuck played in a NHL game. But the 17-year veteran never officially retired from the sport that he amassed over 1,000 games played in. All it took was one trip to Augusta National to make him realize it was time to hang up the skates. Sort Read more…
You don’t really need another reason to root for the duo of Joel Dahmen and Harry Higgs at this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The pair who famously, or perhaps infamously depending on who you ask, removed their shirts at the Waste Management Phoenix Open to raucous applause a few years back would be Read more…
For the last several months, we’ve broken down a new golf gambling game every week. Ideally, some of them were brand new to you. Others you may have heard of before and needed a quick refresher on. The goal was always to give the readers something to spice up their normal weekend rounds or to Read more…
It’s the real tradition unlike any other – a Golf Digest employee winning the Media Lottery to play Augusta National the Monday after the tournament. Two years ago, myself and Stephen Hennessey had the good fortune of winning, and we wrote and podcasted about it extensively. I’m still amazed two years later at how interested Read more…
Andrew Novak is a guy who, quite simply, gets it. We got firsthand experience of this in our interview with Novak on The Loop podcast this past February, right around the time the 30-year-old was beginning a strong run of form that lasted up to this past week. For the second straight start, Novak was Read more…
The biggest non-story from Sunday’s final round of the 2025 Masters seems to have actually been a rather large story based off the internet’s reaction.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — When the highlight package from Rory McIlroy’s final round of the 2025 Masters is replayed years from now, it will likely start with the preposterous shot through a tiny window in the trees left of the par-4 seventh fairway. Then will come the disastrous double bogey at No. 13, followed by the Read more…
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Signs from the golfing gods on Masters week are kind of Augusta National’s thing. So it’s hardly surprising that Rory McIlroy received a practically glaring sign in the form of a note in his locker ahead of Sunday’s final round. The thing is, he had no idea how glaring it would be Read more…
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Even after Rory McIlroy’s disastrous finish on Thursday, when he double-bogeyed two of the final four holes to turn an easy 68 into an “oh no, here we go again” 72, Brandel Chamblee was adamant that not only was McIlroy not out of the tournament, he could still win the damn thing. Read more…
Despite some shaky swings down the stretch, Rory McIlroy was as locked in as he’s ever been on Sunday at Augusta National. Just ask his playing partner, Bryson DeChambeau. DeChambeau, who stunned McIlroy last June in the US Open at Pinehurst, struggled all day with his iron play, hitting long left approach after long left Read more…
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Perhaps the most famous final round pin location in golf is no more. Well, for 2025, at least. Just before 8:15 a.m. ET the official Masters X/Twitter account unveiled the Sunday hole locations and there was an absolute stunner – the classic funnel pin at the par-3 16th was nowhere to be Read more…
Shane Lowry wasn’t having it. He’d just come off the 18th hole having finished bogey-bogey, dropping from five back to seven back in a blink. He’d battled all day to post an under par round and get inside the top four on the leader board. Instantly spoiled.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Enough with the lovefest at the 2025 Masters. My goodness, you can’t scroll past a tweet, an Instagram photo or a TikTok video without seeing somebody fawning over all the possibilties on Sunday at Augusta National. And it’s the same when you are walking around the grounds. The patrons are way too Read more…
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Prior to Saturday’s third round, Zach Johnson had not broken 70 at Augusta National since the final round in 2015, when he shot a Sunday 68 to tie for ninth. Almost a decade later, the now 49-year-old dialed up a masterclass on moving day, shooting a six-under 66, a score he didn’t Read more…
By day’s end, a number of the more recognisable players of past and present had their weekend fates sealed – if two-over par or better was not next to their names, they were headed home early.
Famous American rapper Lil Wayne took a massive shot on social media at Masters coverage of LIV golf star Bryson DeChambeau at the 2025 Masters at Augusta National.
