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.

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…

But there are other problems on the…

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…

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.

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…
