“Golf Stat Pro” Lou Stagner decided to crunch the numbers to determine if a 12-handicapper could win the Masters if they began each hole with the longest possible putt on each of Augusta National’s greens.
Whether a major champion using irons that were 3D-printed, a six-time PGA Tour winner putting in two drivers at the Masters or a fairway wood from 2006 finding its way back in play, here’s our take on the top gear stories of 2024.
The top five and ties secured PGA Tour status for next year, but the next 40 finishers and ties earned starts on the Korn Ferry Tour, the next 20 earned starts on PGA Tour Americas and the remainder of the field will hold conditional status on the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Americas for 2025.
After winning a second US Open, Bryson DeChambeau will certainly look back fondly on 2024. But most golf fans might better remember something a lot more unofficial that he did late in the year.
Asked what she planned to do with her record-breaking windfall after the round, Jeeno Thitikul delivered a hilariously honest – and painfully relatable – answer.
Thitikul’s talent-affirming fourth career LPGA title solidifies the 21-year-old as a rising foil amid the tour turning a new chapter with a rash of past winners retiring.
Wherever the PGA Tour’s season finale is held, it tends to produce moments steeped in drama and at least a little bit of weirdness. This year was no exception.
