It probably will require a hole-in-one, but we’ll all find out soon enough. Now, our math is sometimes shaky—we are writers after all—but there’s an excellent chance you Read more…
There’s been a lot of talk lately (this website included) about Nelly Korda’s role as an ambassador for the game. We know that she can win golf tournaments and dominate the field at a historic rate, but some have wondered if she’s too walled off to grow golf as a sport. Respectfully, phooey. Is there Read more…
The birds are chirping, the sun is out, and summer’s almost here. Isn’t it about time you own a golf course? Odds are that you don’t have one at the moment (if you do, please reach out to me), but now’s your chance, especially if you live in the Pennsylvania area, where there’s a dang Read more…
If this year’s RBC Canadian Open ends like it did last year, everyone will be happy. Well, everyone but Adam Hadwin. A down-to-the-wire tournament that ended with a sudden-death eagle by Nick Taylor on the par-5 18th was quickly followed by Hadwin rushing the green and getting flattened by a security guard. Play the tape! Read more…
Perhaps that’s not the best example to set for impressionable young fans, but Hull is just following in the footsteps of John Daly, Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan. That’s mighty fine company to be in.
The odds of smashing someone else’s Apple Watch with a shot from an adjacent fairway are somehow both 0% and 100%. Like, of course, you’re not going to slice it so poorly that Steve Jobs will roll over in his grave, but also, when you’re on the course, the worst possible scenario is never not Read more…
Scottie Scheffler started off his week at the Charles Schwab Challenge with a shocking (for him) two-over Thursday. Trying to get back into the swing of things on Friday, Scheffler was flummoxed by Colonial’s bentgrass greens once again. He still has plenty of time to turn things around, but his 36 consecutive cuts streak is Read more…
If you’re perusing your grandparents’ old keepsakes, the best you’ll usually find is a bunch of fountain pens, some magnets from random vacations and a few photos that look like they could be from a horror movie. Very rarely do you find sports memorabilia that could easily be the centerpiece of a golf museum, but Read more…
A human bone was found around 8 a.m. on Tuesday at the Patty Jewett Golf Course in Colorado Springs.

After an … eventful PGA Championship, the PGA Tour will switch gears and head to Texas for the Charles Schwab Challenge. A mainstay on the golf schedule, Colonial Country Club has become the longest-running host venue among non-majors with the inaugural event held 78 years ago in 1946. Although not a major field, this year’s Read more…
Xander Schauffele needed to make a birdie putt on the 72nd hole at Valhalla Golf Club to win the PGA Championship (spoiler alert: he did), but somehow that still wasn’t the most dramatic closing performance in a pro golf tournament on Sunday. Fighting to get back onto the PGA Tour after losing his status in Read more…
Sahith Theegala’s best showing at a major championship in eight career starts was a ninth-place finish at the 2023 Masters. Mind you, the 26-year-old has only been a pro for four years. Even so, championship chances like the one he’s looking at on Sunday at the PGA Championship—one stroke off the lead, having carded just Read more…
John Daly’s time at this year’s PGA Championship is now over—with a WD due to a thumb injury—but let’s remember the good times. And boy, were there many. The legend only played 18 holes at Valhalla, but what an 18 holes they were. Zooming around in a cart with his caddie and clubs lagging behind, Read more…
While many golf greats are huffing and puffing around the Jack Nicklaus-designed Valhalla Golf Club this week, John Daly will be cruising around in a golf cart. No sight represents the PGA Championship better than JD rocking once-in-a-lifetime pants while zooming around fairways with caddie Lance Odom trudging behind him, clubs in tow. Like in Read more…
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that’s perhaps never been more true after hearing this story. Many of us have trinkets and knick-knacks from various sporting events, but very few of us are as committed to keeping something so obscure as this r/golf legend. In honor of the PGA Championship returning to Read more…
Highs in the upper 70s and good golf as far as the eye can see call for one thing and one thing only: An ice-cold beer. Suppose you’re lucky enough to find yourself walking around Valhalla this week. In that case, you’ve probably already spent a pretty penny on tickets and accommodations, but you shouldn’t Read more…
More than 30 years after his shocking PGA Championship victory at Crooked Stick, John Daly is still going strong at the revered major.

A $100,000 payday would have placed you in the top 30 payout-wise at last year’s PGA Championship. It’s only Monday of this year’s PGA week and North Carolina golfer Jack Romans Jr. has earned all that without lifting a single club. All he had to do was buy a scratch-off ticket and watch the money Read more…
Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator” won five Oscars, featured Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett at the peak of their powers and made just under $214 million, and yet the most remarkable story from its set centers on a golf instructor having the most impressive (and nerve-wracking) putting day of his life.
