One of the (many) reasons why golf is so tricky is because the way most golfers practice isn’t all that similar to the game we actually play. Yet, it’s an essential part of getting better. We need to work on our games on the range and practice green, then somehow flip the switch when we Read more…
The PGA Tour season finale is upon us at East Lake for the Tour Championship, where our FedEx Cup champion will be crowned.

Fans tuning in to the BMW Championship on Sunday afternoon were greeted by an all-time implosion in the makng. Ben Griffin, well inside the top-30 after two wins this season, started the day six over through three holes, plummeting down the leaderboard.

There was plenty of drama on Sunday at the BMW Championship—even if everyone knew a Scottie Scheffler win was inevitable. (Sorry, Robert MacIntyre.)

Daniel Berger was a late WD on Sunday morning at the BMW Championship, a move that ends Berger’s season-long revival. The 32-year-old entered the week at No. 33 in the FedEx Cup standings. With the WD, he will not advance to the season-ending Tour Championship next week. Berger cited a finger injury as the reason Read more…
Surprisingly, the best gallery in golf this week isn’t at BMW Championship or LIV Golf Indianapolis—the penultimate events of the season on both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. Instead, it’s clustered around the 91st-ranked men’s amateur, Niall Shiels Donegan, at San Francisco’s iconic Olympic Club. On Thursday, the UNC golfer sprung a massive upset Read more…

SAN FRANCISCO — If Final Qualifying for the U.S. Open is annually dubbed “Golf’s Longest Day,” the U.S. Amateur (or any of the USGA’s amateur championships) can certainly be called Golf’s Longest Week.

If you’re old like me, you probably remember NBA Jam, the classic two-on-two basketball game that used to dominate arcades across America. Like Golden Tee on the hardcourt, when you made two baskets in a row with the same player, the announcer would often shout “HE’S HEATING UP!” Folks, it’s with great joy that we Read more…
