This is the WILDEST Putt You Will Ever See
Imagine you are playing in a tournament at your local course and are on track to win a pretty hefty prize and some bragging rights. You’ve landed your ball nicely on the green. The only thing that stands in between you and this birdie is a few feet. The thing that’s different about this event is that they don’t just make your putts hard. They can seem downright impossible. These golfers are willing to try their luck anyway.
The lefty putted, and his group worked nearly as hard as he had as his ball crept toward the cup.
“I like this. I like this,” one man said.
“That is good, Doug,” another said. “That’s going in.”
“It might,” another said.
“Come on. Come on,” another said.
Then all at once, as the 20-footer was now inches away:
“Gooooooo!”
“THERE’S NO CHANCE!”
Another year, another wild video… The 16th @GilbertPlainsCC during the annual “Ironman tournament” never ceases to amaze. pic.twitter.com/Y5qbcAQwp2— KNG Golf (@KNGgolf) October 11, 2021
The Iron Man Tournament at Gilbert Plains Country Club was up to its old tricks. Each year, to end its season, the track in Manitoba, Canada, backs up its tees, speeds up its greens and drops its holes in near-unmakeable locations, then charges 200 bucks per scramble foursome and watches each team burn. There are many events that are dubbed “superintendent revenge” days, but this one goes above and beyond creating a challenge for competitors.
“A week before, I might trim the fringe shorter like the green would be to get more roll off the greens,” Donnie Senyk told the Brandon Sun last year.
“Number 16, probably our signature one, I put it right on the edge and she’s up on a hill. If you miss the pin, she’ll probably roll three quarters of the way down the hill, at least 20 yards.”
It’s here where our lefty and his group were.
In the now-viral video shared by Manitoba head cover manufacturer KNG Golf, and in one of the wildest putts you’ll ever see, the ball inched forward, then picked up speed as it headed toward the cup cut on the front-right edge of the green. About an inch from dropping, the ball instead darted to the right, rolled down a slope and, as Senyk said, finished about 20 yards away.
“What, what, what, what, whaaaattt, what,” one man shouted.
“There’s no chance,” another said.
A year ago, the KNG Golf crew shared a similar video, where a man, about 6 feet above the same hole location, putted, then chased after his ball after it missed down the hill. This year, they’d share a second video, this one shot by a nearby Gilbert Plains worker.
Luckily, this is a team effort which means someone else in the group can swoop in to save the day. Another lefty would putt, wait about 10 seconds and raise his putter to shouts of: “It’s in!”

The 2025 LIV Golf season is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing in the league’s short but impactful history. With its disruptive approach to the sport, LIV Golf continues to challenge traditions and generate buzz. Here are the most compelling storylines to follow as the season unfolds:
1. New Players, Fresh Rivalries
One of the most exciting aspects of this season is the arrival of new talent. LIV Golf has successfully attracted top-ranked players from the PGA Tour, thanks to its lucrative contracts and innovative format. The clash of seasoned veterans and ambitious newcomers promises to create intense rivalries. Will the newcomers shake up the established order, or will the veterans defend their turf?
2. Team Dynamics in Focus
LIV Golf’s unique team-based format continues to set it apart from traditional golf tours. Teams like Crushers GC, Fireballs GC, and 4Aces GC have cultivated strong fan followings. This season, roster changes and new strategies could shift the balance of power. How will captains adapt their leadership styles to foster team cohesion and success? And which team will dominate the standings?
3. The Battle for Global Expansion
LIV Golf has emphasized its commitment to expanding the sport globally, with events scheduled in emerging golf markets like India, South Korea, and Brazil. These new venues not only offer fresh challenges for players but also present opportunities to engage with diverse fanbases. Will LIV’s global push solidify its status as a truly international tour?
4. Technology and Fan Engagement
One hallmark of LIV Golf is its embrace of technology to enhance fan experiences. This season, expect to see advancements in augmented reality, interactive broadcasts, and player mic-ups. These innovations aim to bring fans closer to the action than ever before. Will these efforts further distinguish LIV Golf as the most fan-friendly tour?
5. The PGA Tour Rivalry
The tension between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour remains a defining narrative. With both organizations vying for the loyalty of players and fans, the stakes have never been higher. High-profile defections and joint-event rumors keep fueling speculation. Could 2025 be the year where cooperation begins to overshadow conflict, or will the rivalry escalate further?
6. Defending Champions and Underdog Stories
Every sports season needs its heroes and Cinderella stories, and LIV Golf is no exception. Last season’s champions return to defend their titles, but a host of underdogs are poised to challenge their reign. The unpredictability of golf means that anyone could have their breakout moment. Which players will rise to the occasion and capture the spotlight?
7. Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Amid growing concerns about climate change and sustainability, LIV Golf has pledged to make its tournaments more environmentally friendly. This includes reducing carbon footprints, promoting renewable energy, and supporting local communities at host venues. Will these efforts resonate with fans and set a new standard for the sport?
8. The Legacy Question
As LIV Golf grows, questions about its long-term impact on the sport persist. Critics argue that it’s diluting tradition, while supporters believe it’s revolutionizing golf for a new generation. How will this season shape the league’s legacy? Will LIV Golf prove its staying power or face challenges that threaten its future?
With a mix of drama, innovation, and high-stakes competition, the 2025 LIV Golf season is a must-watch for sports enthusiasts. Whether you’re a traditionalist or a fan of the league’s modern twist, there’s no denying that LIV Golf is making waves and keeping the world of golf on edge.
During the 2025 American Express, PGA Tour rookie William Mouw found himself in a deep, 20-foot bunker on the par-5 16th hole—famously known as the “San Andreas Fault” for its ability to frustrate even seasoned pros.
Mouw’s shots went from bad to worse: after escaping the bunker twice, he’d end up back in it. After an epic 13 strokes, he followed up with a triple bogey on the 17th.
Despite a 5-under 67 in the next round, he missed the cut by 9 shots.
The lesson is to remain resilient despite setbacks. The 16th hole demonstrated how quickly things can go sideways, but his ability to shake off the octuple bogey and finish the weekend strong with a 67 shows that recovery and perseverance are key. Golf is unpredictable, but staying positive and focused on the next shot is crucial. Mouw’s resilience in the face of adversity can be an important learning experience as he moves forward in his career.
