If you’re old like me, you probably remember NBA Jam, the classic two-on-two basketball game that used to dominate arcades across America. Like Golden Tee on the hardcourt, when you made two baskets in a row with the same player, the announcer would often shout “HE’S HEATING UP!” Folks, it’s with great joy that we Read more…

For the average stick, birdies are an occasion to be celebrated. They show up sporadically, often without warning, and disappear just as fast, leaving golfers chasing that fleeting high, sometimes for the rest of their lives. Eagles, however, are an even rarer bird. For the mid-handicappers among us, they require an elusive convergence of ability, Read more…

In just over a week, 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley will announce the squad for the upcoming Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, and the remaining contenders are hitting the campaign trail HARD.

How old were you when you first broke par? Chances are, it hasn’t happened yet. In fact, for the majority of golfers, it never will (at least using gross scoring). The same can’t be said for the DP World Tour’s best and brightest, however. This week, they were asked how old they were when they Read more…
There are few things Paige Spiranac hasn’t done in the world of golf. Professional competition? Check. Social media? Check. Modeling, Hollywood cameos and serving on the PGA Tour’s new Creator Council? Check, check and check.

At PGA National in February, Jake Knapp came inches from making PGA Tour history when he missed an eagle putt on the 18th hole that would have tied Jim Furyk’s single-round scoring mark of 58. As it was, Knapp tapped in for 59, just the 15th such score in the tour’s history. The 31-year-old’s incredible Read more…
Nothing in life is more certain death, taxes and Bryson DeChambeau going viral. Last week, we debated the somethingburger vs. nothingburger of an incident between DeChambeau and a spotter at Royal Portrush.
