We don’t know if Rory McIlroy regularly tunes in to “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on the ABC network in the US. But if he was happening to watch the program last Sunday, he would have seen himself become the target of truly out-of-nowhere swipe.
Known for his Augusta National whisper and genteel broadcasting approach, it’s jarring when Jim Nantz lets his opinions fly for everyone to hear. The golf legend is almost always cool and collected, but he made an exception regarding his hatred for AimPoint. The green-reading method by feeling the slope with one’s feet has become a Read more…
There’s nothing better than a ridiculous (but fun!) gimmicky golf collection. All the companies do it and we eat it up every time. July 4th hot dog golf balls? Check. Valentine’s Day candy hearts? Check plus. And now … a Halloween collection that’s just as terrifying as your golf game. It’s probably obvious from those Read more…
Back in 2018, Mark Wahlberg dropped the schedule of all schedules on his Instagram. We’d write up his entire typical regimen here, but it’s so unwieldy and irregular that you’re better off seeing it from the source. A 2:30 a.m. wake-up time is not for the faint of heart. As you can see, that’s quite Read more…
We have a PGA Tour first this week at the inaugural Black Desert Championship: It’s the first time a professional golf event will be played in a lava field (or at least it’s believed to be the case). The Black Desert Resort Course, opened in 2023, will host the tour’s first stop in Utah since Read more…
The stuff this guy can do doesn’t always make sense, but we’re grateful that one of the best golfers in the world is so open to some of the most bizarre challenges.
Caitlin Clark is (of course) known for her basketball prowess, but she also played softball, volleyball, soccer, tennis and, happily for us, golf while growing up in Iowa. As we all know, she eventually narrowed in on the hardwood, yet that doesn’t mean she isn’t excited to book a tee times during the WNBA offseason. Read more…
Hitting a bird with a wayward drive is incredibly unlikely but not impossible. In the last year, it’s happened at least twice, once in the U.S. Open Women’s Open and again recorded on a random range. This weekend, Saturday Night Live took those real-life instances and ran with them in a potentially PETA-upsetting sketch in Read more…
The Presidents Cup is over, so it’s time for the PGA Tour to turn the calendar to October and focus on … the FedEx Cup Fall. This week’s Sanderson Farms Championship is the second of the eight events in which players ranked outside the top 50 on the FedEx Cup points list can continue earning Read more…
If you’re like us, you’re playing golf until the last possible second. Mitten over glove, snow jackets blocking out your local muni polos and an extra pair of socks in the bag in case of rain. Some good comes out of playing in freezing conditions, but there’s just as much bad, irritating and exhausting. That’s Read more…
A 54-year-old golfer was knocked unconscious, allegedly stopped breathing for 10 seconds and was ultimately sent to the hospital after an altercation at The Links at Heartland Crossing in Morgan County, Indiana last Friday. It all started when the middle-aged man confronted the group in front of him for “cutting,” despite him and his group Read more…
With “Happy Gilmore 2” on the way, it’s high time for Adam Sandler golf content. We at Golf Digest have done what we can with updates from the set, mini-golf with Shooter McGavin and inside looks at the casting process, but that all pales in comparison to this Sandler Reddit story. A few lucky golfers Read more…
Golf sometimes brings out the worst in us: Expletives galore, broken clubs, sh*tty attitudes. But no matter how bad it might get, cheating always crosses the line.
Dog zoomies, concert screeching, thirst trap, X/Twitter screenshots, viral dance move, yet another viral dance move, mini-golf tournament, cat being a jerk, “New Girl” clip, podcast ra .. n … t … wait a second. Let’s scroll back up to that mini-golf tournament. This is the typical TikTok madness that we all know and (sometimes) Read more…
Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx Cup Playoffs and Tour Championship to “wrap up” the 2024 PGA Tour season earlier this month. Or so it seemed. But there’s actually more golf in store on the PGA Tour as the FedEx Cup Fall begins with tour cards for 2025 on the line. This week’s Procore Championship (previously Read more…
This is a no-lose situation. You get to tee off at one of the best golf courses in the United States while giving a student out a better chance to get into the college of their choice. That’s a real Butterfly Effect scenario, and all you have to do is pony up some money and Read more…
I get nervous before a lot of things: work Zooms, first dates, whenever I have to call someone. But that all pales in comparison to teeing off against Christopher McDonald, aka Shooter McGavin, aka my new bitter rival. Growing up as a “Happy Gilmore” fanatic, I never expected to meet McDonald, let alone play golf Read more…
A good-luck charm isn’t going to win you a tournament. It’s not going to sink a putt or find the fairway for you, but sometimes, it’ll get you in the right mindset … ready to play the best golf of your life. U.S. Amateur winner Josele Ballester knows this, which is precisely why he needed Read more…
BEDMINSTER, N.J. — We’re driving a golf cart the wrong way down Fiddler’s Elbow’s Forest Course discussing death. Behind the wheel is Hailey Rounsaville, and she’s reminiscing about Timothy Piazza’s all-too-short life. Back in the spring of 2017, her friend Timothy, a 19-year-old sophomore at Penn State, was pressured into running an alcohol-infused obstacle course Read more…
Thirty players have the chance this week to claim the title of 2024 FedEx Cup champion with a victory at the Tour Championship—and take home the $25 million reward for the honor. The money is substantial—$7 million to the winner than a year ago—but it’s about a lot more than that, especially for Scottie Scheffler. Read more…
Exhausted, crabby, upset, loud, sore, mad, blubbering. We could be describing a toddler mid-temper tantrum or perhaps an especially unhappy golfer amid a tough day on the course. Either way, both have the same descriptives, which is a connection that tour pro Adam Schenk put to good use while parenting a cranky kid this week. Read more…
