Jim Nantz always knows what to say, whether it’s on the 72nd hole at Augusta National, right after a March Madness buzzer beater or on a podcast with a bereaved sports commentator. Just last week, the always great NFL analyst Kevin Clark lost his father, Jim, a fellow journalist and historian. Despite the obvious difficulties, 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. In eighth grade, my mom sent me to some kind of a “national youth leadership conference” that Read more…
Nobody likes listening to a golfer go through his or her entire round shot by shot, but allow us some indulgence as we near the end of our 75th anniversary year. We were very selective. To choose the 75 moments that tell our story—from a naval officer named Bill Davis getting a taste for magazine publishing after writing an account of a kamikaze attack, to Read more…
For those who don’t spend every waking minute doomscrolling on the internet (kudos to you, you are the real MVP), the first episode of The Internet Invitational—billed as the biggest golf tournament in the history of the internet—dropped on Tuesday. So far, two popular YouTube golfers, Grant Horvat and Luke Kwon, are grabbing all the Read more…
Golfers often talk about the importance of turning in the golf swing because, yes, it is very important. But often they can fall into a specific trap because of it. The golf swing isn’t only about turning. It’s about tilting and turning. Pairing those two movements together; that’s where the good stuff is. As Golf Read more…
Michael Brennan should not have made winning his first PGA Tour title on Sunday as easy as it looked. It was just his third career PGA Tour start. He’s just 23 years old. It was the ultimate “this guy seems very talented, but no way he’s closing this one out” spot. If you thought that, Read more…
While there has been a lot of talk the last few years about all the drivers pushing the boundaries of forgiveness (see all those “Max” and “10K” drivers, for example), the long-standing criticism of highly forgiving drivers always has been that their oversize frame leads to higher spin. Since lower spin is often a key Read more…
I recently played a round with a close buddy who, on two separate occasions before we reached the sixth tee, left one of his wedges on the hole prior and had to drive back to get it. He had a few excuses for the mental lapses, the first being that he was extremely hungover from Read more…
Michael Brennan has three wins this year in PGA Tour-sanctioned events, but until this week if your pro golf interest doesn’t dip below the Korn Ferry Tour level or you’re not a college golf nerd, you may know little about the 24-year-old from West Virginia.

Max Homa was limping so badly on Friday in Utah that it looked like he’d gotten his ankle rolled on while blocking at the line of scrimmage. We rarely see golfers exhibit their aches and pains, but Homa couldn’t help when an injury reared its head during the second round of the Bank of Utah Read more…
The saturation of YouTube has reached a point where you could sit and watch golf all week and not actually play any. That might be good news for those of us above the Mason Dixon Line, who are watching the embers of golf season die as we speak, but hopefully we can help the rest Read more…
Between 2020 and 2022, Will Zalatoris racked up six top 10 finishes in major championships and picked up his first victory in a FedEx Cup Playoff event. He was well on his way to superstardom, but his back had other plans. It was just one week after he claimed that maiden win at the FedEx Read more…
IVINS, Utah — Keep an eye on Frankie Capan III this week at the Bank of Utah Championship. He plays his best golf, it appears, when he struggles to keep his eye on the ball. Capan birdied three of his last five holes Thursday for an opening five-under 66 at Black Desert Resort, just a Read more…
Davis Thompson began his opening round of the Bank of Utah Championship with four straight pars—all fours—on the back nine at Black Desert Resort. He would have given anything for a fifth consecutive four at the par-4 14th. Hell, he would have signed for a double-bogey six if he knew what was coming. Thompson was Read more…
