We all know Tyrrell Hatton is a fiery guy on the golf course. Sometimes he burns a little too hot and crosses the line, but that’s not always a bad thing. After Hatton’s two-under 68 on at Oakmont on Saturday, the LIV Golf pro was asked why his volatile temperament seems to fit golf’s most Read more…
You may or may not heard, but Johnny Miller once played the greatest round in U.S. Open history. Yes, that’s a hint of sarcasm you’re picking up.

With sadistic conditions battering the field through a round-and-a-half at Oakmont, it was only a matter of time before tempers began to flare. Early Friday afternoon, they finally did, as putt after putt after putt slid by and ran away, leaving the world’s best golfers wondering if they’d have better luck with a hockey stick Read more…
Inspired by an odd collision of streetwear and Americana, golf is undergoing a fashion revolution. Led by the likes of Jason Day, Keith Mitchell and Viktor Hovland (by way of the oft-controversial J. Lindeberg), the PGA Tour looks cleaner, cooler and more inclusive than it has in decades. This, however, well, this is something else. Read more…

Phil Mickelson may be aging out. He might be riding the gravy train straight to YouTube, but make no mistake, he’s still a surgeon with a 60-degree in his hands. We got ample evidence of that at LIV Virginia last weekend, where Mickelson stopped the golf world in its tracks with one last (?) unforgettable Read more…
Even amongst elite pros, there are golfers and then there are students of the game. Dustin Johnson? Golfer. Rory McIlroy? Student of the game. And that’s not just a LIV vs. PGA Tour thing either, because a dude by the name Jon Rahm falls squarely in the latter camp. Don’t believe us? Heading into the Read more…
In the build-up to the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont, much of the conversation has focused on the rough. Not just it’s length, but the custom mowers the grounds crew have used to make the grass blades stand up straight, ensuring balls sit down in the thick stuff instead of stay on top. The results, Read more…
Since becoming Malbon’s first PGA Tour ambassador in 2024, Jason Day has transformed from a mild-mannered Nike bot to a high-fashion fit god before our every eyes.
When Shooter McGavin famously asked “how am I supposed to chip with that going on, Doug?” he was referring to “two big fat naked bikers in the woods off 17 having sex.” In the years since the iconic ‘Happy Gilmore’ villain posed that question, however, it has taken on life of its own, applying to Read more…
At LIV Virginia, 54-year-old Phil Mickelson turned back the clock. Lefty has struggled since his switch to LIV Golf, looking well past his prime both on the upstart tour and in his subsequent major appearances, but during the final round at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club on Sunday, Mickelson proved there’s still magic in his Read more…

Docherty lived up to his end of the bargain, firing a final-round Read more…
For the past 18 months, Johnson Wagner has served as Golf Channel’s de-facto crash-test dummy. Since he nearly tore UCL trying to Zapruder a Rory McIlroy water ball at the 2024 Players Championship, Wagner has traveled the globe, recreating some of professional golf’s toughest shots with, um, mixed results.

“Golf’s Longest Day” is here. Across the US and Canada, Final Qualifying for the 2025 US Open is underway, with pros, Joes, amateurs and terminally bored former athletes all vying for a spot in the field at Oakmont.
Short par 4s are soooo 2024. 2025 is all about the long par 3. From the 223-yard (203 metres) 17th at Quail Hollow to the 290-yard 8th at Oakmont, the site of next month’s US Open, it seems like par 3s everywhere are experiencing a sudden growth spurt. The masochists among us are gleefully pulling Read more…
Bryson DeChambeau has a need for speed. On an ordinary weekend, that’s ball speed, but on Sunday, the two-time major champion experienced a different kind of acceleration when he enjoyed a 180-mph joyride in a two-seat Indy car at the Indianapolis 500. Buckle up, folks. RELATED: This Charlie Woods scorecard from an AJGA event at Read more…
Golf clubs are specifically designed to transmit high amounts of force to a concentrated target area. That, of course, makes them uniquely effective at launching golf balls long distances with great accuracy. When wielded incorrectly, however, they can be extremely destructive. Iranian-born golf instructor Mohammad Mohseni Goudarzi learned that the hard way last year when Read more…
It’s been a rough month for Joel Dahmen. After bricking a three-foot par putt on the 71st hole to choke away a certain victory at the Corales Puntacana Championship in April, Dahmen has missed three straight cuts.
