ROME — Passionate, highly competitive and, lord knows, mouthy, Jordan Spieth admits he’s probably the sports fan you think he is.

You might have heard the term “early extension” to describe a common downswing fault. It’s when your posture straightens prematurely before impact. It typically happens because inexperienced golfers try to rise up to help the ball in the air or add some extra power to the shot. Unfortunately, if you early extend, you’re altering your Read more…
Growing up in Northern Ireland, it was easy to idolize Rory McIlroy. He and I grew up at the same club, Holywood, and it’s no surprise he’s the player I look up to the most. When I was 13, I got to play with him. I was overwhelmed with nerves and excitement. We got out Read more…
It remains, in my humble opinion, the best clip to come out of the American team’s victorious press conference at the 2021 Ryder Cup in Whistling Straits.

After plenty of international intrigue, Fred Couples’ gaffes and a late-breaking Sergio Garcia last gasp to play this year in Rome, the Ryder Cup is finally here, and the multinational event has never had higher stakes. The Americans, led by Captain Zach Johnson, will make the trek to Marco Simone in Italy and attempt to shatter Read more…
The jury is still out on how Marco Simone will play. Slowly but surely it’s secrets are being revealed, though, starting with arguably the most important of all: the rough.
US captain Zach Johnson said 47-year-old Woods, who last weekend caddied for his son Charlie during his victory at an Orlando regional qualifier for the Notah Begay Invitational, wasn’t likely to offer any advice now that Ryder Cup week is underway.
While the Ryder Cup is one of the biggest events in golf, Im and Kim are playing for something far bigger this week at the Asian Games: military exemptions.
Well, it’s Ryder Cup week and the festivities are starting. The pros have made their way to Marco Sim—what’s this?!
