The British Open leaderboard is essentially the United Nations right now. Obviously, it’ll depend on when you’re reading this, but at the top are golfers from the United States, China, Denmark, Scotland, England, Sweden, Thailand and even South Africa.

Rahm, in particular, went 2-0-2, Read more…
The Open Championship might be days away, with a chance for Xander Schauffele to become the first repeat winner since Pádraig Harrington in 2008, but even his father, Stefan Schauffele, found himself looking ahead to the Ryder Cup. Even though the competition is months away, the elder Schauffele has already decided that he won’t be Read more…
We’re somehow already at the final(!) men’s major of the golf calendar, the British Open upon us, which means we’re about to see some dynamite last-ditch efforts to add to major tallies or perhaps another J.J. Spaun-esque Cinderella Story. The location: Royal Portrush Golf Club in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Just like the players themselves, Read more…
A 28-year-old man was struck by lightning on the 15th hole Ballyowen Golf Course during an all-day Iron Man golf competition on Tuesday.

All golf course junkies know the name Tom Doak. And if you don’t know the man, you certainly know his courses.

Back in 2017, Hideki Matsuyama and his wife Mei welcomed their first child into the world. That’s nice and all, except for one thing, no one knew the tour pro was married at the time. Eventually, he stated that, “No one really asked me if I was married, so I didn’t have to answer that Read more…
It’s too hot to think of a creative lede for this story. Although a mere 94 degrees, it feels like 100 (at least on the East Coast), and the temperatures in this heat wave are only going up for the rest of the day. It’s too warm to think, let alone play 18 holes. But Read more…
Drop the “Mortgage.” It’s cleaner. No matter what we’re calling it, the Rocket Classic is back this week, returning once again to Detroit Golf Club, its home since the event’s debut in 2019. As in years past, it’s one of the last PGA Tour tournaments before the final major of the season and an opportunity Read more…
Xander Schauffele might have just accidentally solved the male loneliness epidemic. All you have to do is be a major champ and multi-millionaire, hit an errant drive at a signature event and then treat the unlucky fan it hit to dinner.
