O’Meara expects to be emotional this week at Pebble. No matter what happens. Just because he’s ready to leave the stage doesn’t mean the finality of it all won’t hit him.
When Tiger Woods turns 50 at the end of 2025, he’ll be surrounded by friends, family, loved ones… and perhaps Rocco Mediate and Padraig Harrington with a tee-time all set up.
The only thing that will make this story better is if this bloke goes to follow Mark Calcavecchia at some point in the championship and realises it’s the guy from the sneaker shop.
He knows little of the golf course and has played one competitive round this year, yet Cameron Percy believes he can make an immediate impression on the over-50s circuit at this week’s KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship.
The sexagenarian recapped his “miraculous comeback journey” and went so far as to state that he has plenty of good golf left to play, hopefully including one more competitive go at Augusta National.
Pampling was able to edge out Kiwi Steven Alker by two shots, finishing at 15-under in North Carolina to claim his second title on the over-50s circuit.
Furyk and Friends has become one of the most vibrant stops on the senior circuit, bringing celebrities, music, local food and, of course, golf together for truly great weekend.
Whether this win is a springboard for more senior success, who knows. And yet, maybe it doesn’t matter. Ken Duke will always have this memory, and so will his fans.
