3 PROS ATTEMPT 1-YARD FAIRWAY

There’s one thing the DP World Tour (formally known as the European Tour) has always done better than the PGA Tour — social media content. Sure, the PGA Tour has stepped up its game recently with the year-end reviews video and the Shorties Classic, but the Tour’s European counterparts have owned the space for years.

That trend continued Friday.

The DP World Tour sent Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, and Tyrrell Hatton to a race track to see if they could hit a one-yard wide fairway in regulation.

The result was hilarious.

Hatton, known for his one-liners on the course, encouraged his teammates to throw their drivers at one point.

“Throw it. It doesn’t make you a bad person.”

Golf’s Green Revolution Has Begun

For decades, golf courses were seen as water-guzzling, chemical-reliant patches of perfectly manicured turf. But times are changing. Across the globe, golf course operators are embracing eco-friendly practices—reducing their environmental impact while maintaining the beauty and challenge of the game we love.

From solar-powered golf carts to smart irrigation systems, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s becoming a standard.

Smarter Water Management = Healthier Greens

Water is one of the biggest concerns for golf courses, especially in regions prone to drought or seasonal dryness. The good news? Many clubs are stepping up.

Here’s how:

  • Smart irrigation systems use real-time weather data and soil sensors to target only the areas that need water.
  • Drought-resistant grasses are being introduced to reduce water dependency without sacrificing playability.
  • Recycled or reclaimed water is being used more often for course maintenance, especially in urban or dry climates.

This isn’t just good for the environment—it’s good business. Courses that use less water lower costs and stay open more reliably during dry seasons.

Energy Efficiency on the Move

Golf carts are also getting a sustainability upgrade. More and more facilities are transitioning to solar-powered or fully electric carts, which reduce emissions and energy costs.

Some clubs have even installed solar panel arrays to power clubhouse operations or cart charging stations, dramatically cutting their carbon footprint.

“We’ve saved thousands annually by switching to solar-powered carts. It’s been a win for both our budget and our sustainability goals.”
Course Manager, EcoLinks Golf Club

Natural Landscaping & Biodiversity

Sustainability doesn’t just mean reducing waste—it also means working with nature, not against it.

Many modern courses are:

  • Eliminating chemical fertilizers and pesticides in favor of organic alternatives
  • Planting native vegetation to support local wildlife and pollinators
  • Creating buffer zones near water features to filter runoff and protect local ecosystems

Some courses even become sanctuaries for birds, bees, and butterflies, blending sport with stewardship.

What You Can Do as a Golfer

Sustainability isn’t just the course’s responsibility—it starts with us, the players. Here’s how you can contribute:

  • Walk the course when possible—fewer carts = fewer emissions.
  • Recycle your scorecards, water bottles, and tees—or better yet, go digital.
  • Use eco-friendly golf balls and tees made from biodegradable or recycled materials.
  • Support courses that are making sustainability a priority.

When booking a tee time, ask if your local club is certified by programs like the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf or GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf.

The Future of Golf is Green

Golf has always been a game rooted in nature. Now, it’s returning to those roots with a new sense of responsibility. Thanks to innovation and awareness, courses can now thrive without compromising the planet.

And the best part? None of this comes at the expense of play. If anything, sustainable golf is often better golf—with healthier turf, fewer interruptions, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

Whether you’re a weekend hacker or a scratch player, it’s time to recognize that every swing we take has an impact beyond the fairway. By supporting sustainable practices—and practicing them ourselves—we ensure this game we love continues for generations to come.

So next time you tee it up, think green—on and off the course.

In the ever-evolving world of professional golf, few rivalries capture the contrast of style and substance like Scottie Scheffler versus Bryson DeChambeau. While both have claimed massive wins and global headlines, their paths to success and how they play the game couldn’t be more different. Here’s a deep dive into their strengths, weaknesses, career highlights, and what makes each stand out in today’s competitive landscape.

Backgrounds and Styles

Scottie Scheffler
The Dallas-born Scheffler embodies a classic, workmanlike approach to golf. Known for his calm demeanor, efficient swing, and remarkable consistency, Scheffler has risen to the top of the world rankings with little flash but elite-level substance. His game is built on balance, precision, and one of the most reliable tee-to-green performances the sport has seen in years.

Bryson DeChambeau
Nicknamed “The Scientist,” DeChambeau has taken an analytical and experimental approach to the game. He’s redefined physical fitness in golf, adding serious bulk to increase driving distance. Known for using single-length irons and obsessing over launch angles and biomechanics, Bryson is a true disruptor. His aggressive style polarizes fans and analysts, but it undeniably commands attention.

Strengths

Scheffler

  • Tee-to-Green Excellence: Leads the PGA Tour in strokes gained tee-to-green.
  • Consistency: Rarely misses cuts and often finishes in the top 10.
  • Short Game: Exceptional touch and creativity around the greens.
  • Mental Game: Composed under pressure; rarely rattled.

DeChambeau

  • Driving Distance: One of the longest hitters in the game; regularly over 320 yards.
  • Innovation: Willing to take unconventional approaches for marginal gains.
  • Power Play: Dominates par 5s and shortens long courses with his length.
  • Confidence: Self-belief and boldness to attempt shots most won’t.

Weaknesses

Scheffler

  • Putting: Historically his weakest stat, though he’s shown improvement.
  • Media Presence: More reserved; lacks the big personality that moves the needle for fans and brands.

DeChambeau

  • Inconsistency: Can be volatile—either dominating or struggling.
  • Course Management: Aggressiveness sometimes leads to trouble.
  • Injury Risk: His physical transformation has come with some health setbacks.

Biggest Wins

Scottie Scheffler

  • The Masters (2022)
  • The Players Championship (2023)
  • Multiple WGC and Signature Events
    As of 2025, Scheffler has claimed over 10 PGA Tour titles and continues to rack up top finishes in majors and elite events.

Bryson DeChambeau

  • U.S. Open (2020)
  • Arnold Palmer Invitational (2021)
  • Multiple LIV Golf Wins
    DeChambeau made headlines by joining LIV Golf, where he’s claimed multiple high-stakes victories, including a team championship and a dominant individual LIV win in 2023.

Career Earnings

Scheffler:
Over $50 million in PGA Tour earnings alone, with additional income from endorsements like Nike, TaylorMade, and Rolex.

DeChambeau:
Estimated $60–$80 million, largely boosted by a reported $100+ million LIV Golf contract and additional prize money. His endorsements have shifted due to his controversial LIV move, but he remains a marketable figure.

Similarities

Both are U.S.-born and played collegiate golf (Scheffler at Texas, DeChambeau at SMU).

Each has reached the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Both have won majors and represented the U.S. in Ryder Cups.

Each has shown a willingness to be different—Scheffler through quiet dominance, DeChambeau through outspoken innovation.

Final Thoughts

Scheffler and DeChambeau represent two archetypes in modern golf: one a quiet technician, the other a showman scientist.
