Golf Games Explained is exactly what it sounds like. You want to mix it up and try something new for once? Well, someone has to do the thankless work of playing different golf formats and telling you if it’s worth it. You can thank me later. It is and always will be the most standard Read more…
To the untrained eye, it looked like McIlroy had missed a “gimme” with a US Open trophy on the line. Rahm, who was watching on the couch like the rest of us after withdrawing early in the week due to injury, believes it was anything but.
As hard as it is to get back up for a signature event after that U.S. Open finish, we simply must continue on. The 2023-’24 PGA Tour schedule remains as aggressive as ever, but as gamblers we will never shy away from more action. Other than no Rory McIlroy, who bowed out, understandably, on Monday, Read more…
Originally, this headline read “Golf Twitter meme’d Rory McIlroy to death …” Then, after continue to scroll through the many tweets, I realized it was all of Twitter. That’s when you know you are witnessing something historic – when all of Twitter comes together to pile on one person or one specific moment. Folks from Read more…
After Bryson DeChambeau’s bunker shot at the 72nd hole rolled out to three feet below the hole, his second U.S. Open trophy was all but secured. A straight, uphill putt to finish it off. We didn’t even have to watch it to know it was going in, dead center. RELATED: Rory McIlroy’s quick exit from Read more…
We’ve come a long, looooong way since Kiawah Island. It was three years ago at the 2021 PGA Championship when we all witnessed the eye roll seen ’round the world, when Brooks Koepka, in contention yet again at a major, had to stop his interview with Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis when he heard the sound Read more…
Ludvig Aberg went full “Happy Gilmore” on Sunday at Pinehurst. Just not in the way you’d expect, unfortunately. No, the young Swede didn’t take a running start before launching a driver. The man hits it plenty far enough without having to do all that. Aberg’s Gilmore moment came after his ball came to rest just Read more…
What happens on a private jet, stays on a private jet. Well, at least that’s what Rory McIlroy believes. Unfortunately, something that happened on the plane from the Memorial Tournament back home did not stay on the plane, and it had to do with a “eureka moment” McIlroy had with his putting. The Northern Irishman Read more…
Discipline is a word we heard constantly from competitors ahead of this week’s U.S. Open, specifically when it came to talking about approach shots into the upside-down cereal bowl greens at Pinehurst No. 2. There are flags you simply cannot go at this week, no matter how enticing or how desperately in need of a Read more…
Hideki Matsuyama perfected the art of being disgusted with a golf shot that ends up finding the center of the green. Somehow, though, Tyrrell Hatton may have stolen Deki’s crown and become king of that move. RELATED: Ian Poulter UNLOADS on unruly LIV fan Case in point, this shot at the par-3 17th from Hatton Read more…
First thing I want to do is apologize to the young people who will have to explain to their elders what the hell is even going on right now. I’m going to do my best to explain. Last month, a 26-year-old woman named Megan Boni created an innocent TikTok video that soon went mega-viral. In Read more…
Not to get gross, but you are a liar if you say you’ve never picked your nose in your life. Sometimes it is simply a necessary evil. The hope is you never get caught red-, er, gold-handed out in public. The total nightmare scenario is getting caught doing it on live television, then having the Read more…
The toughest test in golf is upon us, though most believe Scottie Scheffler has already passed it with flying colors. Hard to blame them given how well he’s playing in 2024, and how great of a course fit Pinehurst No. 2 seems to be for his all-around, boring style of golf. But here’s the thing—we Read more…
For the golf nerds who get to work from home, know how to multitask in the office, or are unemployed (apologies, you’ll get back on your feet soon), Tuesday remains one of the best days of major championship week. There’s nothing quite like flipping on Golf Channel at 10 a.m. and having a full slate Read more…
While pros love to say that they practice extremely hard shots in their spare time, it’s rare you seem them doing that in a practice round during tournament week. A wildly off-line drive is not one players will try to track down when they can simply reload with impunity. RELATED: U.S. Open 2024: Wyndham Clark Read more…
Most will remember Wyndham Clark’s VIOLENT lip-out on the 72nd green at TPC Sawgrass earlier this season as the shot that cost Clark the Players Championship. But it was a shot from a day earlier that Clark likely lost way more sleep over. RELATED: Louisville golfer rolls up “Scottie Scheffler style” to member-guest while “Cops” theme Read more…
Watch (or read) any U.S. Open pre-tournament coverage this week and you will undoubtedly hear about the off-the-green putting masterclass Martin Kaymer put on at Pinehurst a decade ago, which helped him to an eight-shot victory. Watching those highlights back has led many to believe that Pinehurst is a perfect fit for Viktor Hovland, who Read more…
