Golf’s major season continues with the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y. Situated between the Atlantic Ocean to the south and the waters of Peconic Bay and Long Island Sound to the north, Shinnecock occupies one of the most exposed pieces of terrain in American championship golf. The combination of Read more…
The U.S. Open at Shinnecock. That just sounds right. It’s been eight crazy years in the sport of professional golf, so it feels good to return to a place where times were once simpler and the only drama involved a guy hitting a moving ball and another guy saying the USGA “lost the golf course” Read more…
Having now reached a certain age, I find myself increasingly thinking about the Third Act. (What age? Somewhere between needing reading glasses to clip my toenails and insisting on double knee braces and a headband while playing somnambulant pickleball.) But a Third Act seems appropriate when we come to the U.S. Open and Shinnecock Hills. Read more…
Shinnecock Hills is beautifully chaotic. The exposed rolling dunes, turtleback greens, torturous fescue and swirling winds combine to form the most demanding test in the USGA’s repertoire. It is not built to protect reputations, and Shinnecock has a long history of dragging elite players into uncomfortable places. It’s about teamwork, strategy, and most importantly, endurance.

If we look past the second national championship and focus on the four from the past 40 years, only THREE players have finished under par in those tournaments. That?s what we are in for this week at one Read more…

The PGA Tour stays in Texas for the final event of the season in the Lone Star State, the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge. Colonial Country Club, the longest host venue on tour, once again asks a familiar and specific question: Who can relentlessly control their golf ball for four consecutive days?

Saddle up partners, we have a new TPC Craig Ranch on the horizon. Just minutes after the trophy presentation at the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson, the excavators were digging up the greens as part of a $22-million dollar renovation to stiffen the challenge for 2026. This has been the easiest course on the PGA Read more…
If you thought the PGA Championship looked hard for the players, just imagine how difficult it was for the gamblers. What a grueling experience. We only kid. But seriously, that was a grind, but that won’t stop us from getting right back on the horse at TPC Craig Ranch, where we promise there will be Read more…
After last week’s PGA Championship, the PGA Tour heads back to Texas for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Located within the community of Craig Ranch in the Dallas suburb of McKinney, Texas, TPC Craig Ranch is the host course for the sixth consecutive year.

One of the most chaotic stretches on the PGA Tour schedule continues this week with the PGA Championship, the year’s second major. A top-flight field at a top-flight venue in Aronimink. It’s going to be special. Will it be Scottie Scheffler who reminds everyone who is boss? Will Rory McIlroy keep the calendar-year grand slam Read more…
Like jury duty, colonoscopy prep and collabor-dating, we find ourselves again at the “if we must” major, the PGA Championship. Fortunately, it returns this year to a course with what they used to refer to as “character,” as in cheesesteaks, soft pretzels and “wooder ice.” Just outside Philadelphia, Aronimink Golf Club will host for the Read more…
