As I wrote back in February, if you fancy yourself a competitive golfer, then you simply have to be playing for money on the course. Whether it’s $1, $5 or $10-10-20, it has to be an amount that makes that six-foot, downhill right-to-left slider mean something. For some, it’s a much larger sum, which I Read more…
As his shot went screaming past the flagstick and off the green, the Englishman directed his fury at the bunker, unleashing a serious of violent overhead chops reminiscent of a slasher-movie villain chasing a bunch of promiscuous high schoolers.
There was little surprise in the joint announcement made Thursday that ESPN and TMRW Sports, parent company of TGL, have agreed to a multi-year extension of their U.S. media rights partnership. In coverage of the first two seasons of the nascent indoor simulator league backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, the cable network and Read more…
It’s been a big week for chaotic golf families. Just yesterday, we brought you a story of a father and son facing felony charges after damaging a New York golf course. And today, we have something arguably worse: Twin brothers running a corrupt tee-time brokering business. Few things are lower than that, at least in Read more…
After a quick sojourn to Medinah for a nerve-racking but ultimately victorious Presidents Cup, Jackson Koivun will lead the charge as the PGA Tour returns to Black Desert Resort for the PGA Tour’s Bank of Utah Championship.

The PGA Tour’s fall swing continues with the Bank of Utah Championship at the Black Desert Resort, home to a top-ranked resort course crafted by the late legendary designer Tom Weiskopf.

The Americans could feel the celebration coming before they knew where it would find them, a low roar gathering across Medinah without a fixed address, the only question was where it would finally break. They were waiting behind the 18th green to welcome Jackson Koivun after he finished off Si Woo Kim, but the United Read more…
MEDINAH, Ill. — The International team lost another Presidents Cup on Sunday, and it’s not a stretch to say that this was one they probably should have won. The perennial upstarts hadn’t had a better opportunity to beat the United States since the 2003 edition in South Africa, where they led by three going into Read more…
MEDINAH, Ill. — For better or worse, it seemed all too predicable. The International team built a three-point lead heading into the Sunday of the Presidents Cup with a legtimate chance to end a streak of 11 straight defeats. But the players from around much of the world simply can’t get out of their own Read more…
What a difference a day makes. On Saturday night, U.S. Presidents Cup captain Brandt Snedeker was practically despondent over the situation facing the Americans. They were trailing an undermanned International team 10½-7½, and Snedeker pointed a lot of the blame at himself for the situation they faced, a heavy favorite now looking at possibility of Read more…
