There are a million reasons why Tiger Woods is the G.O.A.T. It’s his putting, iron-play, mental toughness, the 2000 season, cut streak (142 consecutive cuts on the PGA Tour, a record), and much more. When Nelly Korda first met Tiger Woods at the 2021 PNC Championship, the World No. 1 couldn’t help but ask for a selfie with him. He had made a remarkable comeback to competitive golf after his car accident in February 2021.

Most fathers share videos of their babies’ first steps. Some capture their child’s first words or funny facial expressions. Tiger Woods had something different up his sleeve. Instead of crawling or walking, his baby was swinging a golf club. This revelation came during a heartwarming exchange between two famous dads. Years ago, at a charity event, Tiger Woods and Jimmy Fallon shared a special moment. Now, Fallon revealed the details on The Tonight Show. The late-night show host remembered sitting beside Tiger on a golf cart. He’d just had his first daughter and wanted to share baby videos. Tiger patiently waited as Fallon fumbled…

Greg Norman’s exit has lifted the weight off LIV Golf, it seems, as Jay Monahan & Co. have been more accepting of the Saudi-based league. They have also pushed to complete the merger with Yasir Al-Rumayyan and the PIF sooner. Even the new CEO, Scott O’Neil, has been widely accepted by the golf community. In fact, Tiger Woods and his team welcomed the new LIV Golf boss to the TGL arena during the season opener back in January 2025. All this was never considered when Greg Norman was in charge. It’s not that O’Neil has been an absolute hit for LIV Golf as…

One, a dominant force riding a historic win streak. The other, a global phenom desperate to prove he belonged on that same mountain. The air was heavy with tension, the ocean winds whipping across the fairways, and every shot carried the weight of legacy. What happened next? Well……

COLUMN: Rory McIlroy will have to blank more golf icons Rory McIlroy (Image: Getty) What are we all going to talk about next year? That was Rory McIlroy’s cheeky opening line as he skipped into the Augusta press conference room wearing his shiny new green jacket. McIlroy can’t be that naive to think all the pressure has been lifted. It’s only going to be amplified. The ghosts of Augusta past – the meltdowns, the collapses, the near-misses – are finally exorcised. No longer will sleepless nights be haunted by visions of Amen Corner disasters. But there are other problems on the…

Justin Thomas has achieved something not even Tiger Woods has managed (Image: Getty) Justin Thomas romped to an opening round of 10-under during Thursday’s RBC Heritage at Harbour Town. The event, which is typically held the week following the Masters, gave the American a chance to achieve something even Tiger Woods never managed. Thomas’ incredible score was made all the better by the fact that he didn’t hit an eagle once and even managed to bogey the par-four 10th. Instead, it was his incredible consistency with…

The name Tiger Woods holds immense weight—after all, he’s a legend with 15 major wins and 82 PGA Tour titles. That kind of dominance creates an undeniably intimidating presence. While it’s a major advantage for the GOAT himself, it can prove be a double-edged sword for his son, Charlie Woods. Take the 2025 Junior Invitational at Sage Valley, for instance—Charlie finished tied for 25th out of 36 competitors and was unable to deliver an ideal performance. As the pressure surrounding him grows, John Daly’s son has also shared his perspective on the situation. Recently, John Daly II was on the Identity Sports Podcast. He shared about his…

The Masters champion is taking some deserved time off following his Augusta heroics. McIlroy will not play at the RBC Heritage but, unlike in 2023, he will not be punished for doing so. Back then, the PGA fined players if they missed two signature events during a single season. Having missed the cut at the Masters the week before, McIlroy decided to accept a mammoth £2.2million…

John Daly, well-known for his strong drives and flamboyant demeanor, has recently shown concern for Woods’ 15-year-old prodigy, Charlie Woods, as well as pride in his own son, John Daly II.

In the end, it was Rory McIlroy‘s day. Despite an admirable (yet underwhelming) effort by Bryson DeChambeau, the green jacket finally found the Northern Irish’s capable shoulders after a final round that can only be described as dramatic. Heading into Sunday, the tension was palpable. Saturday’s third round had seen the veteran snatch the lead from his LIV Golf counterpart following closely behind with just two shots back after three birdies in the final five holes. Ahead of Corey Conners and the rest of the field, DeChambeau was striving toward the Masters glory that has escaped them throughout his careers. But…
