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.

It’s been a weird year betting golf. Scottie Scheffler finally broke the long run of longshot winners with his dominant performance at Bay Hill.

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…
For the first time in a long time, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am has a truly elite field, perhaps the most elite it’s ever had. As it should. One of the sport’s most iconic venues has been missing some serious star power over the last few years. That’s not the case this week thanks to Read more…

Another week, another longshot gets it done on the PGA Tour. Sadly, we were not on Chris Kirk at Sentry nor Grayson Murray at Sony, but it’s good to see the mega bombs can still get it done. There are big tickets to be cashed in 2024. Shoutout to Brandon Gdula, who was on Keegan Read more…
The PGA Tour heads to the desert this week for the American Express, the first stop on the West Coast swing.
