Wolff Wasn’t Letting Gusty Winds & Mud Balls Stop Him in Houston

So far Matthew Wolff has shown us that he is prone to a hot streak now and again. It seems that once he gets on a roll, there is just no stopping him. The 22-year-old from Oklahoma is up for all sorts of challenges. With a pair of top-5 finishes in his last two starts,
Surprise Leader in Houston Hasn’t Made a Cut in 4 Months

The numbers are presented not to demean Martin Trainer, but simply to put into perspective just how brutal the game can be at the PGA Tour level, and how difficult it can be to fight your way out of massive slumps. And for that matter, how remarkable it is that Trainer is leading this week’s
Mickelson Candid About closed vice-captain mic at Ryder Cup

It’s been two months already since the U.S. squashed the European squad at the Ryder Cup. Phil Mickelson, who opened with a 65 at Phoenix Country Club to kick start his Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Thursday, was a vice captain for the winning side, the first time he served in that capacity. It gave
Is the PGA Tour Transitioning into a Team Format?

The PGA Tour plans to create a series of lucrative, international tournaments that will offer guaranteed money to the world’s best players, we can reveal. The Tour intends to stage between four and six events annually outside of the United States, in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The series will begin in the fall of 2023
DeChambeau Says *THIS* Part of His Game (Not Distance) Has Changed Most in the Last 3 Years…

It’s been an eventful year for Bryson DeCheambeau, to say the least. Over the last 14 months, the 28-year-old superstar has notched two wins: a U.S. Open at famed Winged Foot, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where his tee shot over the water on the par-5 6th hole immediately went viral; he feuded publicly with frenemy Brooks Koepka, went 2-0-1 in
Phil Mickelson to Play Huge Role in Brooks/Bryson Match

Phil Mickelson won’t be on the course for the latest edition of The Match — a much-hyped Nov. 29 showdown between frenemies Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka — but he will be in a place where he can provide just as much entertainment: the booth. Mickelson, whose steady needling and pontificating has carried previous editions of The Match, will be
Houston Open 2021 Expert Picks to Win

Picking up right where we left off in 2020-’21. Not to brag. This week, we like our chances again, even with just one year of course
Fans Will Be Disappointed By This Tiger News

While Tiger’s recovery from his car crash has been going fairly smoothly, he is not going to be competing on the Tour anytime soon. It’s a work in progress, but we will have to wait a little longer before we get to see one of our favorite golfers back in action. Unfortunately, Woods has also
Is Bryson Switching to New Irons?

When it comes to his driver, the long-hitting Bryson DeChambeau is ready and willing to test endless designs to ensure he’s using the longest and straightest driver possible. He frequently switches his driver, sometimes week-to-week, and sometimes even round-to-round. With his irons, though, it’s a bit of a different story. Early on in his professional career, when he
Moth Sparks Debate Over Obscure Rule

Perhaps you’ve heard of The Butterfly Effect? It’s the chaos theory where a small change in one place (something as small as the flap of a butterfly’s wings) can lead to a larger unpredictable change somewhere else. Well, Padraig Harrington saw a variation of that theory seemingly play out (somewhat literally) on Friday at the
Pro Gains a Stroke, Is His Diet to Blame?

It was easy enough to discern that something was very, very off with Louis Oosthuizen. Slightly harder was figuring out what that thing was. For months, the former major winner had dealt with a maddening stretch of inconsistency, and yet nobody was quite sure why. After diving into the data, Oosthuizen’s coach, Justin Parsons, and physiotherapist, Marnus
