Rory McIlroy at long last winning the Masters was one of those sports moments we’ll remember for a long time. To know the journey he had been on leading up to that final putt Sunday, and to see the emotions pour out of him after winning his first major in 11 years to complete the career grand slam was truly touching. It was all the things we love about sports. It was also probably the worst thing that could’ve happened to the Masters short of Tiger Woods tearing his Achilles one month prior to the tournament.

Bryson DeChambeau was the closest to Rory McIlroy at Augusta National when he saw the latter light up the course for the last 18 holes before the playoffs.

However, during that time, there were very limited interactions between the two golfers. At least that is what DeChambeau claims. In the post-round interview, Bryson DeChambeau claimed Rory McIlroy “Didn’t talk to…

A T3 finish was Phil Mickelson’s best score in his LIV career, which came at the LIV Golf Hong Kong event in February. And while that wasn’t half bad considering the recent injury he had before the LIV season opener, it was still a bit of a concern that the golfer was losing touch with the game.

The PGA Tour is all about traditions and legacy. And what better way to celebrate the legacy of all the Masters so far in a neat tradition like the Champions Dinner? Like every year, on the Tuesday evening before the event kicks off, all former green jacket holders were invited to the dinner “Served in Honor of Mr. Scottie Scheffler.” Of course, everything on the menu was hand-picked by the reigning champion Scottie Scheffler who was in a mood of moving on from some things. Seemingly, he skipped the unanimously-“spicy” tortilla soup from 2023’s menu. But what caught everyone’s eyes was that he also fanned…

Tiger Woods can’t get back to golf soon enough. Anything to keep him off social media.
