Xander Schauffele seems to have misunderstood the term, “He’s got it in the bag.” Or at the very least, he’s taking it a bit too literally at Augusta National.
“We’re Dude Perfect. I’m Bryson DeChambeau. And believe it or not, welcome to All Sports Golf Battle at Augusta National.” [And then a lot of yelling for some reason.] That’s how the 11-minute Dude Perfect’s Masters video from 2022 begins, and to be honest, many couldn’t believe it. Augusta National, the home of secrecy, phone Read more…
Viktor Hovland has made five eagles in his six Masters starts—which means two things: 1. He’s better at golf than everyone reading this. 2. He has five crystal glasses gathering dust in his house. Well, until his friends come over and he has a chance to “flex” in their faces. For those unaware, if you Read more…
Last year, we debated the best Masters traditions, and now it’s time to look at the other side of the coin. Hence, we spoke to Golf Digest staff members to gather their thoughts on the most overrated Masters traditions. The takes were hot, from a flaming Pimento Cheese character assassination to an takedown of the Read more…
Rory McIlroy has had a lot of time to think over his Masters Champions Dinner menu, including perhaps during last year’s extra playoff hole. And although things weren’t easy, McIlroy finally donned a green jacket in 2025, completing his career Grand Slam. Perhaps the most pressure he’s felt since that monkey-off-the-back birdie putt is putting Read more…
Mike Lavezzo loves to tell the story (and rightly so) of his first ace. The teacher at Tamalpais High School in Northern California and his friends had a deal: If any of us makes a hole-in-one, we’re all going to Las Vegas. Well, it happened a handful of years ago at Mill Valley Golf Course, Read more…
Yes, the Masters is a tradition unlike any other. Then it’s only fitting that it features a TV schedule unlike any other. And unless you’re making the trek to Augusta, you might want to know exactly what to watch and when (and how!). Obviously, you can tune into CBS on Sunday afternoon to see the Read more…
The Masters is a bastion for tradition, and it seems like we’ve had a new one emerge over the last few years: Jason Day and Malbon testing out a new outfit that’s a bit too out there for Augusta National.
For those looking to get in one more test run before the Masters (or a final chance to sneak into the field at Augusta National), might we suggest the Valero Texas Open? This week’s PGA Tour event is the final call before the festivities begin in Georgia for the year’s first major, and nine of Read more…
The golf novel is a rare breed. There are obviously a near-infinite number of historical deep dives, oral histories and unauthorized biographies of Tiger Woods. But the golf bookshelf shrinks dramatically when it comes to the world of fiction. Former ESPN writer/reporter and now full-time University of Tennessee professor Gene Wojciechowski knows this, which is Read more…
Friendship is a wonderful thing. Sometimes they’ll get you a free beer, or maybe you can crash on a couch if you’re from out of town. Or maybe, if you’re friends with the exact right person, they’ll surprise you with a trip to Augusta National. Now, none of my friends has done this yet, but Read more…
Asterisk Talley will be making her third Augusta National Women’s Amateur start next week. She’s finished inside the top 10 twice, and she’s coming off a one-stroke loss in 2025. But now the 17-year-old has a secret weapon heading into this year’s ANWA: No. 1 male junior Miles Russell on her bag. In an Avengers-esque Read more…
Jordan Spieth hasn’t won on the PGA Tour since 2022, but remains one of the PGA Tour’s most beloved current golfers for good reason. Spieth is never not exciting … in the best of ways and the worst of ways. One round, he’ll have a death-defying shot that forces Pebble Beach to shift one of Read more…
If you’re like us, you’re starting to get Georgia on your mind. But before we travel to Augusta National and the Masters, the PGA Tour makes a two-week visit to Texas, beginning with this week’s Texas Children’s Houston Open. Min Woo Lee will be back to defend his first PGA Tour title, but he’ll have Read more…
We’re sorry to say that this is the last week of the beloved Florida Swing (especially for tour pros who call the Sunshine State home) before the PGA Tour picks up and heads to Texas. To close out the four-tournament run, golf’s best will make their way to the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort for Read more…
Weddings are expensive. Between travel, attire, gifts, it adds up very quickly. And if you’re in the wedding party … forget it. You might have to take out a mortgage or call up your local loan shark to finance the bachelor party. Well … at least there’s this groom who went all out for his Read more…
There’s a pretty impressive menu if you’re on the grounds at TPC Sawgrass for the Players Championship. There’s Taste of JAX, which features a selection of popular Jacksonville restaurants, from Cousins Maine Lobster to Ajua Mexican Kitchen. Maybe you’re more in the mood for an always-appetizing Blackstone griddle smashburger right behind No. 16, or something Read more…
A 21-minute rain delay is just enough time to throw you off. It’s not really worth it to head back to the clubhouse, especially if you’re being held “in position.” And you certainly don’t want to get caught snacking, nearly missing the restart. So, what else is there to do but find nearby shelter and Read more…
A year ago, the Arnold Palmer Invitational was ultimately decided by a Russell Henley eagle on Bay Hill’s par-5 16th. And with the entire top 10 in the World Ranking set to tee off this week in Orlando for the signature event honoring one of golf’s all-time greats, it’s likely going to be another down-to-the-wire Read more…
A handful of years ago, we did a feature on the golfer’s paradise that is Jupiter, Florida, and noticed that Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy and Ernie Els all resided in the sport’s coolest town. When Michael Jordan was planning out the Grove XXIII, “the Jupiter area was the only place he considered.” And Read more…
