Recent European team member Rasmus Højgaard is in the field, as is European Vice Captain Francesco Molinari and American assistant Brandt Snedeker. Kevin Yu is set to return, looking to become Read more…
Team USA is in dire straits. Keegan Bradley’s squad trails 8.5 to 3.5 heading into Saturday afternoon, and even the fans are embarrassing themselves at Bethpage Black. Luckily, Manhattan’s Headquarters Gentleman’s Club has stepped in and made an offer to (hopefully) entice every American on the course to get their game together and figure things Read more…
On Thursday, I took the 7:58 a.m. Long Island Rail Road train from Grand Central to Farmingdale to wander around Bethpage Black, check out the golfers warming up and spend (way too much) money at the merch store. It was around 8:15 when I saw the first beer cracked open, and then everywhere I looked Read more…
It’s finally here. After more than a decade of build-up, the 2025 Ryder Cup begins for real on Friday, the United States and Europe facing off in what genuinely can be considered the most anticipated golf event in the modern golf era. It’s not just the competitors involved—two star-laden teams that, on paper, feel very Read more…
We’re still days away from the official start of the Ryder Cup, but it appears that no one told that to the Team USA faithful at Bethpage Black. Braving the Long Island Rail Road and/or Farmingdale parking, U.S. zealots have already locked in on their rooting interests … which mostly appear to be yelling fore Read more…
Just the other day, our very own Luke Kerr-Dineen broke down “3 sneaky (but legal) tactics pros use to annoy their Ryder Cup opponents” in his latest edition of video series “The Game Plan.” A subtext of his piece was the fact that when it comes to match play, anything goes … well, within reason. But Read more…
“At 26, I quit my job to become a caddie. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made.” That’s how a viral Reddit post by FrontBlunt222 began, racking up 3,400 upvotes, 350 comments and the attention of countless jealous golfers. We reached out to the now-Internet-famous golfer, otherwise known as Collin Woods (no relation), to find Read more…
Fall is here, and with it come the swarms of autumn apologists who defend the season as unequivocally the best to play golf. On the Golf Digest staff, we have plenty in that group, and while the mild temperatures and peak course conditions may make it tough to argue with them, our panel also offered Read more…
And we’re back. Although we’re just a few weeks out from Tommy Fleetwood’s inaugural PGA Tour win at the Tour Championship that also gave him the FedEx Cup title, the PGA Tour is back for the fall finish … starting with this week’s Procore Championship. Once the Fortinet Championship, the Safeway Open and the Fry’s Read more…
Golf is a game of calm. Moment after moment of silence, patience and concentration. It’s all about becoming one with nature and finding yourself … which is what this guy was trying to do, if it wasn’t for someone right in front of him, going through perhaps the worst moment of his sporting life, screaming Read more…
As a subpar golfer who works at Golf Digest with former college athletes, long hitters and gear obsessives, it sometimes gets a bit stressful teeing off with coworkers. Obviously, it’s all for fun and no one (hopefully) is too competitive, but my ultimate goal is always to not embarrass myself and keep the round moving. Read more…
Few people are more locked in on golf right now than LeBron James. The NBA superstar has caught the golf bug over the last few months and even went so far as to start live-tweeting the Tour Championship/Tommy Fleetwood’s inaugural PGA Tour win. Once you start posting, “Up 3 with 2 to play for all Read more…
Every year, we here at Golf Digest stage a company tournament called the Seitz Cup. It’s a Ryder Cup-style event that splits our staff into two teams by age (old vs. young). We typically hold it in late September or, often, October, which doesn’t do us any favors in the weather department. Over the years, Read more…
We’re down to the top 50 in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, from No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to the big 5-0 in J.T. Poston. And there’s more cutting to go with this week’s BMW Championship. At the conclusion of play Sunday at Caves Valley Golf Club outside Baltimore, only 30 golfers will be moving on to Read more…
Money is flying around everywhere in golf … unless you’re an amateur teeing off in a professional event. And with amateurs Jackson Koivun and Lottie Woad playing their tails off on the course for pride but no paycheck, the dreaded debate is back yet again. As always, our Golf Digest panel had many a take, Read more…
Weddings are expensive. Especially if you’re “lucky” enough to be a groomsman or bridesmaid. We’re not complaining, but between the new outfits, multiple trips, the days off from work, all of the hotel rooms and the gifts, it costs a pretty penny to celebrate your good friends getting hitched. At the very least, they can Read more…
It’s quite the undertaking and ballsy to “start over” in golf in your mid-30s, but when you’re as talented as these pros are, we guess you have to invent new ways to challenge yourself.
Dahmen’s idea is a great way to get your kid invested in golf without emptying your wallet and getting them in stressful situations earlier than they need to be.
Golf is a game of inches. But is it a game of inches before you even swing? Technically, of course! When push comes to shove … maybe? This debate centers on teeing off and whether it’s worth calling someone out for teeing it up in front of the markers. It’s something we’ve all noticed from Read more…
With the AIG Women’s British Open being contested this week, LPGA star Charley Hull spoke to the media and broke down her golf TV watching habits, which has minimal golf, or at least very little 21st-century golf.
One of the most important tournaments of the PGA Tour season, the Wyndham Championship is the last chance for golfers outside of the top 70 to sneak into the FedEx Cup Playoffs. There’s a lot on the line here, and the pros know it. Every player from No. 60 to No. 109 will be in Read more…
Slow play has been a hot-button topic as of late, especially in the professional game, but in Florida, it can sometimes lead to “aggravated battery” and broken bones. That’s exactly what happened back in June in Kissimmee when golfer Jason Hughes lost his cool with a slow-playing group ahead of him and unfortunately decided to Read more…
