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.

There are just two events left before the FedEx Cup Playoffs, which will ultimately feature $100 million in bonus money. To qualify for the first leg of the playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, players will be Read more…
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. That’s nice and all, and yet this Open might’ve already been claimed by Ireland. We don’t Read more…
After starting his Thursday with an eagle on the second hole en route to a first-round 67, Matt Fitzpatrick is right at the top of the British Open leaderboard.
Tattoos are forever … but so is the 2023 European Ryder Cup team. Led by Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm (with a little Shane Lowry energy thrown in), the squad took over Marco Simone two years ago, starting with a 4-0 lead and eventually turning that into a 16.5-11.5 victory. 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.
