📣 In homage to (no) Masters week, I recreated the 4 most eye-popping moments in Masters history. Big takeaway for me was that none of these shots are as hard as they looked. Here’s Bubba from 2012. (Volume ⬆️) Check back tomorrow for Phil’s derring-do from 2010. #playingthrough

The most remarkable thing about St. Andrews Opens is the ease of access. One moment you’re on a quiet street corner in town, the next you’re green side at 18. No ticket required. It’s incredible. You can be literally a block away and have no idea the event is happening.

Tiger’s net worth is ~$800m, which means the $100k putt he left short on the final hole of the Japan Skins represented about .0125% of his wealth. The equivalent for a weekend hacker worth $97,300 (the median net worth of a U.S. household)? A putt worth 12 bucks.

one of the best developments of '23 is having Lucas Glover back in the press room on "scrappy" 66 in 3rd rd: “Parts of it you could remove the ‘s.’” on whether he'll scoreboard-watch in 4th rd: “I never saw Belichick coach the fourth quarter without knowing the score.”

Find yourself a looper like Mo at Morris County (NJ) GC. My man kept four sets of clubs cleaner than a military latrine, worked wizardry on the tee boxes, and delivered yardages (*before* you’d arrived at your ball) via handwritten notes.

Neal Shipley's dad told me a 🔥 story about little Neal (outfit in Tiger gear!) attending a practice round at the 2007 USO at Oakmont. All Neal wanted was a high-five from his idol, but he never got it. On Masters Sunday, tho, he got something far better.

He idolized Tiger Woods as a kid. On Masters Sunday, he played dream round with him

Neal Shipley, the low amateur at the 2024 Masters, had a dream finish to his week when he played the final round with Tiger Woods.

Unsettling spotting one in the wild. Sorta like when you were a kid and you saw one of your teachers at the grocery store

In the wake of @Jerrythekid21 ’s heroics, I looked into the degree of difficulty of making a simulated ace.

The odds of making a golf-simulator hole in one? We mined the data

Barstool Sports personality Jersey Jerry’s grueling hole-in-one challenge got us wondering: What was the degree of difficulty?

“This merger is going to come under scrutiny. It is far from a done deal.” — Craig Seebald, an antitrust specialist with a nose for PGA Tour and LIV dealings, speaking to our @JoshSens

Can the PGA Tour and LIV legally merge? It's no sure thing, experts say

As the PGA Tour and LIV move forward with their merger, federal regulators will be watching closely — and deciding the legality of the deal.
