For the last two seasons, Tarik Skubal has been the most intimidating presence to grace the mound 60 feet and 6 inches from home plate in Major League Baseball. It took just one pair of heinous joggers, however, to instantly remove all of that aura. Normally, on the diamond, Skubal, who won a second consecutive Read more…
Golfpocalypse is a meandering collection of words about golf (professional and otherwise) that sometimes, but not always, has a point. Reach out with your questions or comments on absolutely anything at [email protected]. We’ll publish the best emails here. I have something called an “annual pass” at my local public course, which is vaguely analogous to Read more…
Michael Kim roared to the top of the leaderboard on Day 1 of the DP World Tour Championship, outplaying everyone from Rory McIlroy to Tommy Fleetwood. And after, the 32-year-old wasn’t even sure if he’d ever been in this position. Which is exactly why he’s No. 1 in the hearts of many on Golf Twitter. Read more…
Happy Caitlin Clark Day to all who celebrate! We’re only kind of kidding based on the level of excitement—and coverage—around the WNBA superstar playing in Wednesday’s LPGA pro-am. Clark is teeing it up on the eve of the Annika for a second consecutive year, and once again, her round is being broadcast live on Golf Read more…
Just as the fallout from the first two episodes of the Internet Invitational seemed to be winding down … Episodes 3 and 4 dropped like an Acme anvil on Wile E. Coyote’s head. Will they live up to the drama of missed tee times and Jon Gruden speeches? Can the Internet Invitational continue its stranglehold Read more…
The talk of the non-professional golf world over the past week has been Luke Kwon, a former PGA Tour China winner-turned-YouTube golf star who overslept his tee time at Barstool Sports’ $1-million-dollar Internet Invitational last week. It was a major faux-pas in the context of the lucrative influencer competition, and it incensed teammate Ryan Whitney—a Read more…
Luke Kwon became the most-hated man in golf last week after oversleeping his tee time at the Internet Invitational. This week, it was the Asian Tour’s turn to pile on the YouTube golf star. In case you missed it, Kwon, a past PGA Tour China winner who also won the first Creator Classic last year, Read more…
Rory McIlroy will be the clear favorite when he tees it up at this week’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, but he’ll be in the unfamiliar position of not being the clear longest hitter in his group come Thursday at the DP World Tour event. That’s because the five-time major champ will be paired with Marco Read more…
For those who don’t spend every waking minute doomscrolling on the internet (kudos to you, you are the real MVP), the first episode of The Internet Invitational—billed as the biggest golf tournament in the history of the internet—dropped on Tuesday. So far, two popular YouTube golfers, Grant Horvat and Luke Kwon, are grabbing all the Read more…
Michael Brennan should not have made winning his first PGA Tour title on Sunday as easy as it looked. It was just his third career PGA Tour start. He’s just 23 years old. It was the ultimate “this guy seems very talented, but no way he’s closing this one out” spot. If you thought that, Read more…
I recently played a round with a close buddy who, on two separate occasions before we reached the sixth tee, left one of his wedges on the hole prior and had to drive back to get it. He had a few excuses for the mental lapses, the first being that he was extremely hungover from Read more…
Michael Brennan may look and sound like a typical golfer—heck, he even has a typical golfer name—but there was nothing ordinary about his maiden victory at the Bank of Utah Championship on Sunday. The newly minted Korn Ferry Tour pro teed it up at Black Desert G.C. this weekend on a sponsor’s exemption. It was Read more…
