Jon Rahm will defend his first title of 2024 when he returns to Augusta National with his green jacket—and some of Mama Rahm’s lentil stew. It’s an odd quirk considering Rahm won three PGA Tour titles before March a year ago, but those are the consequences of leaving for LIV Golf. RELATED: Jon Rahm reveals Read more…
It is tough to put Sunday’s emotional roller-coaster into words. Wyndham Clark gave us hope on the 72nd hole. Once Xander’s approach was 50+ feet from the cup, we all knew it was down to Scheffler and our outright. The 36-hole leader played the weekend five under par with a four-stroke lead and lost by Read more…
I hope you read our prop bets article last week for The Players! It was better than most, as we were up nearly three units for the column. It would’ve been a few more if our friend Christopher Powers didn’t go 0-for-3, but we digress. Regardless, you don’t care about last week. Just give me Read more…
It wasn’t exactly going out on a limb, but it still took some guts for our anonymous caddie to take Scottie Scheffler to win the Players Championship last week. No player had ever gone back-to-back, and it was a roll of the dice to expect him to back up his strong putting week at Bay Read more…
After an action-packed weekend at The Players, the PGA Tour heads to Tampa for the Valspar Championship. While a collective exhale feels in order, the Valspar Championship remains one of the most underrated events on the schedule, which is largely a product of the golf course. Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead Course, designed by Larry Packard in Read more…
I was watching Wyndham Clark warm up on the range this weekend, and there she was. Most would have missed her, but not these educated PGA eyes. Julie Elion was standing right near me, and though Clark lost his four-stroke lead on Saturday and trails Xander Schauffele by one entering the final round, Elion remains Read more…

One of my rituals you will soon learn is my love for sunsets and “closing time” at the practice areas. In my 20-plus years as a PGA professional, I’ve learned there’s something very enlightening about the golden hour around a golf course. As the sun set on Tuesday evening at The Players Championship, Matsuyama was Read more…
There’s many reasons to be excited about The Match 9, the latest in the Capital One’s The Match series, which will air at 6:30 p.m. eastern on Monday on TNT. First, the participants—for the first time in the five-plus year history of The Match, we have female golfers. Lexi Thompson and Rose Zhang will tee Read more…
Heading into Sunday at Riviera, our experts had the leader board covered. Then, Hideki Matsuyama happened. Matsuyama wouldn’t normally ever be categorized as a “longshot,” but that’s exactly what he was last week, continuing the trend of the longshot winner on the PGA Tour in 2024. Chances are that continues this week in a weak, Read more…
After a memorable week at Riviera in Los Angeles, the PGA Tour heads south to Vallarta for the third edition of the Mexico Open. Vidanta Vallarta, the host venue, was designed by Greg Norman in 2015 and will provide a different test for defending champion Tony Finau and a promising group of challengers. Vidanta features Read more…
Golf fans are looking forward to seeing a familiar face in Tiger Woods taking on a familiar track in Riviera this week. There will be some major differences when the 15-time major champ makes his PGA Tour return—including his new clothes and his new caddie—but for the most part, things will be back to normal. Read more…
And just like that, the West Coast swing has reached its peak with the Genesis Invitational, the second signature event in the last three weeks. A 70-man field of elites with only a small cut should theoretically increase our chances of bagging a winner. We could use one, badly. The streak of triple-digit longshots has Read more…
After navigating untimely inclement weather over the past few weeks, the PGA Tour heads to sunny Southern California for the Genesis Invitational, a staple on the schedule since 1926. After rotating through multiple venues, Riviera Country Club has hosted the old LA Open consecutively since 1973. The iconic George C. Thomas masterpiece is a venue Read more…
