Jim Nantz has a few catchphrases to his name—“a tradition unlike any other” and “a return to glory!” will echo on for decades to come—but perhaps none more iconic than “Hello friends.” For over 20 years, Nantz’s folksy greeting has heralded the start of major championship golf, March Madness, Super Bowls and countless other sporting Read more…
Chef Min Woo Lee was cooking on Friday at Valhalla. The Aussie golfer chipped in not once, not twice, but three times en route to a five-under 67. After his final chip-in of the day, Lee tallied up his shots on his fingers in a move straight of Steph Curry’s celly playbook. RELATED: Fan strips Read more…
Everyone take a minute and catch their breath. It’s been an unprecedented Friday morning at Valhalla Golf Club, where an employee for a PGA Championship vendor was tragically struck and killed by a shuttle bus and the top-ranked golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, was arrested and charged with second-degree assault of a police officer Read more…
The 2024 PGA Championship is less than a few hours old, and golf fans are already angry. This year, though, their ire isn’t directed at the ludicrous beer prices or even the cringey “Halla” hats, but instead at the shuttle bus situation, which left many paying fans waiting in mile-long lines for a lift to Read more…
If we told you last spring that Brandel Chamblee’s would soon be embroiled in a bitter online feud with Anthony Kim (yes, that Anthony Kim), you wouldn’t have believed it. Brooks Koepka? Sure. Phil Mickelson? OK. But 12 months ago, Kim was still a ghost. He’d barely been seen in over a decade and the Read more…
It’s PGA Championship week. Rory McIlroy and defending champion Brooks Koepka are both coming off wins in their last starts, but that’s not why the Internet is talking about either of them. Instead, the golf world found themselves fixated on the pair’s love lives on Tuesday as reports surfaced that McIlroy had filed for divorce Read more…
Back in February, Anthony Kim made his shocking return to professional golf after 12 long years in the wind. Not long after, Kim—like seemingly all pros in the modern era—joined X for the first time. RELATED: Anthony Kim is not who you think he was Things started innocently enough, with Kim posting inspirational platitudes and Read more…
At long last, Scottie and Meredith Scheffler are proud parents. On Monday—after weeks of waiting—Scheffler announced the birth of his son Bennett on Instagram. Bennett arrived on May 8, eight days before the start of the year’s second major, leaving Scheffler with conflicted emotions as he departed for Valhalla this week. With a Players Championship Read more…
While the eyes of the golf world were fixed firmly on Rory McIlroy’s runaway victory at Quail Hollow on Sunday, Chris Gotterup put on an equally dominant performance at the Myrtle Beach Classic, besting the field by six strokes en route to his first PGA Tour win. The former Jack Nicklaus Award winner was thankful Read more…
Nelly Korda is having a year that dreams are made of. The women’s World No. 1 recently tied the LPGA’s all-time consecutive win record at The Chevron Championship, capturing 2024’s first major in the process. This weekend, she will vie for six straight at the Cognizant Founders Cup, but win or lose, Korda’s week has Read more…
It’s not a great time to be a Los Angeles Laker. After another up-and-down season, the Lakers bowed out in the first round of the West Conference playoffs. After the team’s 4-1 series loss to the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James declined to answer questions about his future—fueling speculation that we may have seen the last Read more…
This week, Scottie Scheffler withdrew from the Wells Fargo Championship as he and his wife Meredith continue to anticipate the birth of their first child.

Golf is full of etiquette conundrums and awkward encounters, but nothing is more confusing than knowing when to play through. But don’t stress, we’re here to help, breaking down 10 scenarios that will help you decide whether to stick or twist.
One of the stories of the week at TPC Craig Ranch was Kris Kim. The 16-year-old phenom from England made the cut in his first-ever PGA Tour start, chipping in for eagle and nearly making a hole-in-one enroute to a six-under finish. There have been plenty of memorable golf debuts over the course of the Read more…
Phil Mickelson turned pro in 1992. Let that sink in for a minute. Nirvana was a new band. George Bush (senior!) was president. The Dallas Cowboys were winning Super Bowls. It was a very different world, both on and off the golf course. Mickelson has experienced a lot of incredible highs and low lows since Read more…
All hole-in-ones are special, but not every ace is created equal. There’s various factors at play. Distance, wind and pin position are big ones. Then there’s the course, the tees and, of course, lady luck—a big kick or a fortuitous ricochet count the same on the scorecard but are worth less in social currency. None Read more…
Whether cosying up beside the “Phireside” or putting the entire Golden State Warriors dynasty at risk, the six-time major winner was golf’s first true “viral” star.
No clip from the weekend summed up the chaotic action quite like this video of a fan in the grandstands at the Watering Hole snagging a flying beer out of the sky like a slips-cordon maestro and then chugging it.
It’s hard to believe, but before you know it, football will be back in our lives once again. OTAs have begun and the NFL Draft has come and gone. Pretty soon mandatory mini-camps will be upon us, and with them, the official end of the NFL “offseason” (if there is such a thing). This weekend, Read more…
One of the sneaky news bits of the week is that LIV Golf’s future road map includes plans for “home-team” events, a move that could help to bolster the league’s struggling team dynamic. From the looks of things at The Grange, however, Ripper G.C. captain Cam Smith already has a formidable homefield advantage cooking as Read more…
