One of my favorite all-time golf photographs was taken at Riviera in the 1950 Los Angeles Open. It pictures Ben Hogan putting from the edge of the sixth green and Sam Snead waiting impatiently, with the milling gallery behind them and a marine layer rolling in.

Scottie Scheffler came from behind to win the Tour Championship and claim a second FedEx Cup title, capping a season he called “a big battle” and surpassing Tiger Woods on the career money list.

Add some competition, and even a little bit of swag, and you’ve created something for up-and-coming boys and girls for which to Read more…
Last summer, on a magical day at a course here in Durham, NC, I shot a personal best 74 and ascended to the heavens on a white cloud, surrounded a choir of glowing angels. It may sound strange, but if you play golf, you know exactly what I mean. I was truly happy. I had Read more…
