It’s early, but if the Swede happens to win she’d be eligible for Ladies European Tour membership, which would mark the third consecutive Solheim Cup where a player won tour membership to be allowed to qualify for the matches.
The omission is as head-scratching now to us at Golf Digest as it was to reader Mike Clayton, a former top Australian amateur and professional golfer who has designed golf courses and writes and speaks about architecture frequently. Clayton, who obviously was perusing the fabulous Golf Digest archive, tweeted on July 7 a photograph of Read more…
Forgive us the easy layup question we asked Stephen Curry on our shoot with him back in January for the June cover of Golf Digest. “Is there anybody in the NBA who can beat you in golf?” “Negative. No chance,” Curry said. “I’m taking those bets all day long.” So let’s accept that as a Read more…
LIV Golf is making its 10th stop of the year, this week at venerable Valderrama, host of the 1997 Ryder Cup among other big events over the past three decades.

Despite being fully exempt for this year’s Genesis Scottish Open – after a T-6 finish last year and a third-place finish in 2022 – Kim still needed some last-minute help to make the field at the Renaissance Club thanks to an honest, but near-costly, mistake.
