Golf Digest senior writer Alex Myers is on a one-year mission to see how good he can get at golf through daily practice and playing. Read more from his “Late Scratch?” series here. I was thrilled to get the green light to chase shooting red scores, but how was I actually going to go about Read more…
Golfpocalypse is a meandering collection of words about golf (professional and otherwise) that sometimes, but not always, has a point. Reach out with your questions or comments on absolutely anything at [email protected]. We’ll publish the best emails here. I have a distinct memory of being in my 20s and thinking about the moment, many years Read more…

It was another quiet in the world of golf where nothing ever changes and the vibes are always super chill … PSYCH. Actually, it was bat sh*t crazy, just as it at least 40 weeks out of the year. The circus began Monday, when the PGA Tour announced a new reinstatement policy that will allow Read more…
High Pointe qualifies as golf’s feel-good story of the year. This was the first course Tom Doak built beginning in 1987 as a 26-year-old getting his big break. Located outside of Traverse City, Mich., it was and remains the only course at which he personally shaped all 18 greens. In 2008, the daily-fee course closed Read more…
By his own admission, Jordan Spieth had four months to get ready for Thursday’s opening round of the Sony Open, the first event of the 2026 PGA Tour season. A third of the year to work on his swing, to do any equipment-tinkering. Naturally, Spieth waited until the very last minute to make a rather Read more…
Learning about the golf swing can feel like learning a new language. Path, lag, casting, you’re too steep, too shallow, you’re coming over the top—the list goes on. Resist the urge to be intimidated by all of these phrases. You don’t need to know them all to be able to have a conversation with a Read more…
Although it’s a week later than ususal, the PGA Tour is back in Hawaii to start its season. Sadly, we skipped Kapalua but the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club is quite a nice place to shake off rust and ease into the year. The strong field is playing for $9.1 million with the winner Read more…
The first course at Gamble Sands opened in 2014 and marked David Kidd’s return to “happy” architecture after a detour into the dark corners of extreme design at places like Tetherow and St. Andrews’ Castle Course. With its broad fairways, half-par holes and feeding contours, the Sands was swashbuckling fun tailored to the joys of Read more…
There are worse places to start your year than Hawaii. And so, 120 tour pros, including four of the top-10 ranked golfers in the world, will make their way to Honolulu for a January staple, the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club to kick of the 2026 PGA Tour season. Those four—Russell Henley, J.J. Spaun, Read more…
On one hand, no Kapalua last week left a hole in our heart. On the other hand, it saved us some extra coin from a gambling perspective, which we can now use for the Sony Open, the official opening event of the 2026 PGA Tour season. We are so, so back. The 2026 gambling on Read more…
Pat Perez was a journeyman pro, better known for his acerbic sense of humor than his play on the PGA Tour, before he was among the first American players to defect to LIV Golf in 2022. Perez stayed a journeyman, never coming close to winning on the Saudi-backed circuit, though he was the poster guy Read more…
Brooks Koepka’s imminent return to the PGA Tour is the story currently captivating the golf world. But I’m more interested in another, far more important saga playing out over on Golf Twitter, one starring Brandt “The Golden Doodle” Snedeker (not affiliated with the professional golfer in any way, shape, or form). Snedeker, AKA @sneds_brandt, has Read more…
It’s only January and the year’s first PGA Tour tournament hasn’t even begun, but the finish of the year has already come and gone. Hold on, let us explain. On Tuesday, the PGA Tour welcomed one of its new members for 2026, Haotong Li, to golf’s most pressure-packed circuit with a simple challenge: Make a Read more…
