The GOATS – Old & New chopping it up on the range – what are they talking about – READ ON and be as shocked as I was and quite frankly still am! ?? My Vote goes to 1997 Tiger – I know 2000 Tiger won the SLAM, but that ’97 swing is just oily!

Question: What does it take to mesmerize golf’s No. 2 player in the world?

Answer: Not taking any divots during a driving range routine, apparently. That’s what Tiger Woods can do at his absolute best, and Scottie Scheffler simply can’t believe it. 

The two major champions were featured testers of TaylorMade’s Stealth 2 lineup of drivers, alongside Collin Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy. Toward the end of the nearly 33-minute video, Scheffler, making conversation, noticed Woods had not taken any divots in his driving range stall. A curious Scheffler didn’t hesitate to ask the 15-time major champion if there was a reason for the peculiar sight.

“What is up with no divots?” Scheffler asks, to which Tiger responds, “Why, do you take a divot?” Woods then explains to Scheffler that his swing doesn’t result in divots when he is “swinging well.”

“When I am flushing it, I don’t take divots,” Woods said. “Just, it is what it is.” 

Scheffler, in a quite obvious daze, as he tried to comprehend what he was hearing, stood awestruck. If you’re wondering what renders one of golf’s two best players speechless, that covers it. 

Both stars in their own right, Woods and Scheffler sit at quite different points in their respective careers. No golfer carries more name recognition than Woods, but the 47-year-old has only played on a limited basis since a February 2021 car crash in Southern California threatened his golfing career. Woods last appeared in the Masters Tournament in April, making the cut before withdrawing mid-weekend. Woods later underwent ankle surgery that month, casting doubt about his ability to play again in 2023.

Scheffler, meanwhile, burst onto the scene in 2022 and has quickly become a fan favorite on the PGA Tour. Scheffler notched the first Tour victory of his career at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February 2022, and he has since won five additional events. Scheffler won the Masters in 2022 and will take this rare TW swing nugget with him to the opening tee box on his next event

Spanning over half a century, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am has undergone changes in latitude as well as attitude. But the core of the tournament remains not only the exceptional golf by the world’s best players, but also the lore surrounding each yearly winter extravaganza.

Wyndham Clark made history at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Tied for 23rd heading into Saturday’s third round, he ended the day in first place with a 12-under 60, setting the course record for the lowest score ever at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

In 2017, Justin Rose & Justin Timberlake collaborated on one of the most unique moments in AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am history. While JR took a selfie, JT nearly made an ace on the iconic par-3 7th ultimately leading to a tap-in birdie.

Always a fan favorite and one of the best entertainers Pebble Beach has ever seen, check out Bill Murray’s best shots and funniest moments from his career at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Signature moments from the five U.S. Opens that were held at Pebble Beach (Calif.) Golf Links, site of the 2019 championship.

Perhaps remembered best for a hole out at the par-4 15th hole, Tiger Woods came back from a 5-shot deficit to move past 54-hole co-leaders Mark Brooks and Matt Gogel and claim victory at the 2000 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Iconic courses, iconic golfers. See you at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, returning for its second year as a PGA TOUR Signature Event.

Stay out of the bunkers!

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.

Eddie Pepperell, the 33-year-old English golfer renowned for his candid demeanor and sharp wit, has been a notable presence on the DP World Tour. After securing two tour victories in 2018, his career faced challenges, leading him back to the Qualifying School (Q School) in 2024—a path he hadn’t traversed since 2016.

Early Career and Rise

Pepperell’s ascent in professional golf was marked by his victories at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters and the Sky Sports British Masters in 2018. These achievements elevated him to a career-high 32nd in the Official World Golf Ranking, showcasing his potential to compete among the elite.

Challenges and Return to Q School

Despite his early successes, Pepperell’s subsequent seasons were inconsistent. In 2024, after narrowly missing the top 114 in the Race to Dubai Rankings, he returned to Q School at INFINITUM, aiming to regain his tour card. Embracing the six-round “ironman” challenge, he expressed optimism about the opportunity to refine his game.

Recent Performance

Pepperell’s determination was evident at the Mauritius Open, where he led after the first round with a six-under-par 66, including birdies on four of the last five holes. Reflecting on his performance, he noted, “After bogeying the second hole I was worried it was going to be one of those Thursdays again. But I turned it around really nicely and played very well to be honest. So I’m very pleased.”

Pepperell’s journey underscores the resilience required in professional golf. His recent performances suggest a potential resurgence, and his candid reflections continue to endear him to fans. As he strives to regain full status on the DP World Tour, the golfing community remains attentive to his progress.
