TPC Louisiana is known as a tricky Pete Dye course from its hidden bunkers to its firm and fast greens. The designer built it in the style of his renowned TPC Sawgrass, and like its Florida predecessor, it has one extra-special obstacle that many courses (luckily) don’t have: Alligators. The teams at the Zurich Classic Read more…
The lone team event on the PGA Tour, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, is back this week, which is nice because it’s been a while since anyone besides Scottie Scheffler got to win a tournament. And given that Scheffler is taking the week off ahead of the arrival of his first child, this week Read more…
It took a K-9 team, two drone units and a golf cart bridge collision, but a 35-year-old Wisconsinite is now in custody following a chaotic Fond du Lac police chase. Police initially arrived on the scene at East Merrill Avenue after they received reports that a local was “destroying property and possibly assaulted someone inside Read more…
Oscar Wilde once said, “Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm.” He was, of course, referencing the hideous shirt John Daly wore en route to winning the 1994 BellSouth Classic. The Ugly Golf Shirt is as much a staple of the game as Tiger Woods’ knack for the dramatic, a hot dog at Read more…
Let’s be honest. You’re not going to be wearing a real green jacket anytime soon. I hate to break the news to you, but it’s time you know the truth. With that said, what you can do is go the exact opposite way and purchase the Jason Day look that drew the ire of Augusta Read more…
What a difference a few days make. Despite a slow start to the year, Viktor Hovland was certainly considered among the potential contenders coming into the 2024 Masters. The not-long-ago World No. 4 finished T-7 a year ago and had made four straight Augusta National cuts heading into the year’s first major. And he got Read more…
Adam Hadwin has had a busy weekend. Not only has he been taking on the best Augusta National has to offer, but he also has been taking on the best that the Augusta rental market has to offer. Instead of grinding on the range or meditating for a moment or two, the PGA Tour winner Read more…
Finishing Thursday with the lead at seven under, it was never going to be quite that easy for Bryson DeChambeau. The former U.S. Open champ and golf equipment innovator has a knack for getting himself in tricky situations or just trying out things that make the rest of the golf world’s heads spin. This (whatever Read more…
It must be hell being a celebrity out in public, especially now that everyone has a smartphone in their pocket. Everything you do is scrutinized, recorded and then posted on social media for the rest of the world to see. Perhaps the best event to attend for this reason (and many, many others) is the Read more…
When you’re hot, you’re hot. And at the moment, nothing matters more at Augusta National than this little Masters Garden Gnome. The tchotchke has become as sought after as the green jacket and nearly as difficult to get one’s hands on. First sold in 2016, the gnome has become a cult-like object, especially when considering Read more…
The Masters may have started a little late, but the delay didn’t seem to bother amateur Christo Lamprecht … at least when it came to his opening two drives. The 6-foot-8 23-year-old put everything he had (and then some) into his first two tee shots, and boy did it show. Lamprecht doesn’t have the experience Read more…
It was initially unclear how the Shark made his way inside the gates this year, but his son, Greg Norman Jnr, took to social media on Thursday to explain.
The original pitch for this story was “Bubba Watson’s daughter hits two long putts,” but by the time pen hit paper (digitally, of course), little Dakota Watson sunk a third ridiculous putt. The two-time Masters winner may not even be the best Augusta National golfer in his own family by the time you’re reading this. Read more…
The man has won five Masters so this might seem like it’s old hat, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. For instance, Tiger Woods has … a new hat. After a pretty good run with Nike, the golf legend has taken his talents to TaylorMade and ultimately Sun Day Red. A huge move Read more…
This year’s Champions Dinner, chosen by Jon Rahm, is gearing up to be a special one. The defending Masters champ went with a Basque-influenced meal that will feature a choice of rib-eye steak or turbot. There will also be a dessert of milhojas de crema y nata, a puff pastry cake with custard and chantilly Read more…
It’s Masters Week, which means soon enough we’ll be lounging on the couch with snacks in hand watching the best of the best take on Augusta National. Before Thursday, however, things may get a little chippy. Elsewhere, the alcohol is flowing and the expletives are flying. Instead of “Hello friends,” this Reddit video of an Read more…
There’s nothing more terrifying than a teen. Growing up with an iPhone from Day One, today’s youths are ruthlessly passive-aggressive and accidentally harsh in a way that would send even the strongest of adults running for the hills. As John Mulaney said, “They will get to the thing that you don’t like about you. They Read more…
It’s somehow already been 12 months since Jon Rahm won his green jacket, besting Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson by four shots during a soggy 72 holes at Augusta National. Now, the Spaniard has joined BK and Lefty as part of LIV Golf, and all three will be back to represent their fledgling tour on Read more…
With the season’s first major just a week away, quite a few of the best golfers in the world will make their way to TPC San Antonio for some final prep before Augusta National. Ten of the top 22 golfers in the world will tee it up this week at the Valero Texas Open, including Read more…
We’re a week away from the Masters, which means it’s time for Viktor Hovland and J.Lindeberg to drop beautiful and confounding outfits for Augusta National
Like the biblical Samson, Cam Smith’s power is in his hair. Cutting it off right before the Masters is a real no-no for the LIV Golfer looking for his second major victory.
