The PGA Tour moves quickly, no matter how much rain comes down the weekend before. After a wet, wild Sunday at U.S. Open, we’re all set for a signature event with this week’s Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands. Recent major champ J.J. Spaun will be teeing off, even with his busy schedule, as will Read more…
Harry Vardon made $US200 after winning the 1900 US Open. And just this week, a golf ball he played to win at Chicago Golf Club was sold for $US194,259 ($A298,000). Yes, there’s inflation and 125 years to account for, but that’s quite the monetary leap for a Spalding “Vardon” Flyer.
Sometimes you just need a break. For example, J.J. Spaun got a perfectly timed weather delay to get his major chances back on track, and then he took advantage of the opportunity. Similarly, Redditor TeezyGolf got, well … another golfer’s broken wrist. All love to the wounded “Brian,” but an inopportune injury was what allowed Read more…
Spaun’s 64-foot, walk-off putt didn’t just win the US Open and change the 34-year-old’s life forever; it got a full grin out of Hatton looking on during a perfectly timed press conference.
When one door closes, another door opens. Or, in golf terms, when one golfer collapses, another one sneaks out with a win. In this case, those golfers were Adam Scott and Ernie Els, respectively, at least when it comes to the 2012 Open Championship. RELATED: Why everyone is cheering for Adam Scott, and the burden Read more…
Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa finished up Oakmont’s par-4 11th hole this morning at 8:07 a.m. EDT. Forty-four minutes later, at precisely 8:51 a.m., the trio got through the brutal par-5 12th. It’s not as if there were any rules shenanigans or lost balls; three of the world’s best golfers took three quarters Read more…
Six years is both a long time and a short time. Yes, 2031 may sound like a fake year, but it’ll be here before you know it. And Dustin Johnson is already planning ahead in a way that few would expect. While speaking to the AP’s Doug Ferguson, DJ admitted that he’s already thinking about Read more…
Rory McIlroy’s worst PGA Tour round this year is a 78 at last week’s RBC Canadian Open. Other than that, he has two 74s—plus many, many more rounds in the 60s. So, when he admitted to struggling at Oakmont during a practice round, one could reasonably assume that it was in the mid-70s, or at Read more…
It looks like we’re in for bedlam at the upcoming 2025 U.S. Open. The fairways are narrow, the rough is thick, the players are (already) frustrated and we can’t wait to watch! We’re assuming—why else would you be reading this?—you feel the same way. Therefore, we felt it necessary to compile all the information for Read more…
Heading into last week’s Team TaylorMade Invitational, Charlie Woods was the 609th-ranked golfer in the AJGA Boys Rankings. Now, after his impressive first win on the circuit, buoyed by a final-round 66, the 16-year-old rocketed up to No. 14. For those who can’t (or don’t want to) do the math, that’s 595 spots all because of Read more…
The PGA Tour returns to the Great White North this week for the RBC Canadian Open, one of the oldest non-majors on the golf schedule. However, this year will feature a new host course, TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, as Canadians and non-Canadians alike look to build some momentum before the U.S. Open. A two-time Read more…
Scottie Scheffler’s run over the last few years is breaking records and rewriting history books. But most importantly, this might be the first time anyone has ever played “Can’t Be Touched” by Roy Jones Jr. in the Muirfield Village locker room. As Mr. Jones Jr. so eloquently says, “Can’t be touched, can’t be stopped / Read more…
It’s not often that someone can ridicule Peyton Manning’s athletic endeavors. He threw for an NFL rookie interception record, sure, and he had his share of embarrassing moments on the gridiron. But that’s going to happen when you play 266 games over 17 seasons. And yet, everything evens out on the golf course, as one Read more…
Although it’s just ice cream and milk, there’s a dramatic difference between a good milkshake and a bad milkshake. The first makes you believe in life itself, the second makes you furious over a waste of calories. There are obviously many golf courses that have a renowned milkshake, but few are as prominent (and tasty) Read more…
This might be difficult to believe, but some golfers will exaggerate how far they drive the ball. “Oh, yeah, I think I hit that one 290,” isn’t just a fib; it might be a reason for slow play at the recreational level. And one prestigious golf course has decided to actually do something about it. Read more…
Scottie Scheffler is trying to become the first golfer to repeat at the Memorial since Tiger Woods went back-to-back-to-back from 1999 to 2001. The World No. 1 has been on a tear lately with two wins, a T-2, two T-4s and a terrible T-8 in his last six starts, and yet the newly minted PGA Read more…
Japan has seen bear attacks skyrocket over the last few years, including a record 219 people attacked and 12 deaths between April 2023 and April 2024. Due to climate change and depopulation, bears appear to be venturing into nearby towns more often, including one waltzing into an Akita grocery store last December. This brings us Read more…
It’s not often you see an honest-to-goodness sports highlight on Bravo. Beer Olympics or some food stunts, sure. But a Superman-esque dive with a slo-mo replay isn’t usually on the menu for a reality-TV channel. And yet, that’s exactly what “Summer House” newcomer West Wilson achieved in a Volo kickball body-sacrifice for the ages. To Read more…
There’s always a line. Sometimes it’s a bit of wind, and sometimes it’s a tornado, but all of us golfers have a demarcation point regarding bad weather where it’s not worth being on the course anymore. Here, at Golf Digest, we have a truly varied panel of experts, from the “too cold” contingent to “is Read more…
So, it’s not like Scottie Scheffler needs a free car. The three-time major winner just won $3.4 million at Quail Hollow with his PGA Championship victory, is constantly raking in money from Nike ads and reportedly made more then $100 million in 2024. And yet, a deal’s a deal. There’s a man out there (perhaps Read more…
One would think that the PGA Championship winner would take a week off after yet another major victory, but that’s why Scottie Scheffler’s Scottie Scheffler and the rest of us very much are not. The World No. 1 and now three-time major champ will have a chance to win his third-straight event this week at Read more…
