Western Canada is in flames. In British Columbia, over 300 wildfires currently blaze, displacing thousands and cutting off major westward travel corridors. To the east, at the heart of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, another 170 wildfires have broken out, with officials in Jasper—the home of Canada’s largest national park and one of the most Read more…
For better or worse (mostly worse), Jean van de Velde is best known for what he didn’t win.

The weather at Royal Troon on Saturday has been absolutely rancid. By the time the leaders tee’d off, the rain was falling at a clip of over a quarter inch an hour, soaking gloves, thickening rough and turning the pot bunkers into quicksand.

John Daly is as synonymous with the British Open as fescue and fish and chips. Since Daly’s triumphant victory at the 1995 Open Championship, the chain-smoking, Diet Coke-crushing fan favorite has become an annual fixture across the pond, entertaining European golf fans with his hyper-concentrated dose of Americana.

Then, despite the swirling winds and rain, things took an unexpected turn as the Smash GC skipper carded four straight birdies to move from two over to two under faster than you can say “Playing Read more…
It’s tough to imagine two PGA Tour pros with more different demeanors than Tiger Woods and Tom Kim. At Woods’ peak, he was a cold-blooded killer. Laser-focused, intimidating, as much myth as man. Kim, on the other hand, has been affable and approachable from the start, rarely seen without a smile on his face, whether Read more…
There’s no such thing as “summer weather” in Scotland, at least to us Yanks. The forecast at Royal Troon this week calls for highs in the mid-60s with stiff winds and intermittent rain.

Mother Nature was huffing and puffing on Thursday at Valderrama. The windy conditions made it tricky for players during the opening round at LIV Golf Andalucia, including Tyrrell Hatton who had to back off a par putt after a gust caused his ball to move on the green.

Pretty soon, Coleman Read more…
