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…
Adam Hadwin was in the first group to tee off on Friday at 7 a.m., along with Keith Mitchell and Bob Sowards. By 9:45 a.m., he had already texted his wife to “book us flights.” As I’m writing this, Hadwin is still trying to survive the “Green Mile,” (oh, another bogey on No. 17), but Read more…
Golf is a weird sport. You get to one of the biggest events of the calendar year, and the next thing you know, you’re researching common snapping turtles in North Carolina. Let’s see football or basketball lead to a search result like that! It’s been quite a week at Quail Hollow—between the Kardashian comps and Read more…
A free round at Quail Hollow is nothing to scoff at, with initiation fees around $150,000 to join the club. So it looks like Hunter Mahan has found a little golf lifehack. All you have to do is insult the course to “The New York Times,” sit back and let the internet do the rest. Read more…
There’s an easy explanation for why most of us media members ended up in the media, and that reason is that we were bad at math growing up. Professional golf tournaments know this, which is why they send out a list of stats (oftentimes compiled by Elias Sports Bureau) for us right-brained creative types who Read more…
This might be the first time this sentence has ever been written, but it’d actually be inconsiderate of you not to try to play Winged Foot. The vaunted course is one of many impressive tee times being auctioned off in a fundraising event for First Tee-Metropolitan New York. There’s also Friar’s Head, Fishers Island, Tree Read more…
Now that the sun’s out and the spring weather has fully arrived, it’s time to sit on the couch, get extra comfy and watch the PGA Championship. We’re on to the second men’s major of the year, and Rory McIlroy has a chance to continue his Quail Hollow dominance, Jordan Spieth has another opportunity to Read more…
Let’s start with the big news: There’s a new Pope. He was born Robert Prevost, and he’s from the United States. He’s planning to go by Leo XIV, which is a strong choice.
