The only player widely recognized as a true competitor who could challenge Tiger Woods’s dominance among golf’s all-time greats is none other than Ernie Els. Els and Woods’s relationship has always been a complex blend of admiration and rivalry. “The talent of the man is just amazing. The shots that he played and the best closer I’ve ever seen in my life.” Els said in an interview with Graham Bensinger. While Els openly praises Woods as the most talented player and the best closer he’s ever seen, he does not shy away from being brutally honest about Woods’s game. Like I said, their…

Comparing the accomplishments of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, of course, will ignite some kind of fire. While Tiger Woods’s 2019 Masters win was iconic and resonated way beyond the sport, his legacy would not have been harmed had he come up one stroke short. But for Rory McIlroy, everything was on the line. His win at the 2025 Masters overjoyed fans to tears and left broadcasters feeling exhilarated. “It really was human”—is what the iconic broadcaster, Jim Nantz, expressed when asked about McIlroy winning. And when Nantz weighs in, the golf world listens. Tiger Woods’s 2019 Masters victory was, by all accounts, one of the…

Scottie Scheffler has won three major championships, but the golf star was overcome with emotion as he recalled how his wife helped him win the Masters in 2022 Scottie Scheffler recalled an important conversation with his wife during the 2022 Masters(Image: YouTube/@ROLEX) Scottie Scheffler was overcome with emotion as he remembered a crucial chat with his wife before clinching his first Masters title. The newly-crowned PGA Championship winner, who recently celebrated his third major victory with a five-stroke triumph at Quail Hollow, reflected on the conversation that spurred him to success in April 2022. Scheffler, who had just climbed to world number one before he…

The 2025 season witnessed two of the most adrenaline-filled majors, with the best of the OWGR taking the title home. But despite the iconic performance and historic achievements, it felt incomplete. Reason? Tiger Woods was not there. Earlier this year, he shared an update about undergoing back surgery. The hopes of him teeing off at Augusta were still alive, but a new setback in the form of a ruptured left Achilles interrupted that. Even after skipping the PGA Championship, the golf world hoped for an update. And now, there is one! Woods’s doctor, Dr. Charlton, has shared that Woods is expected…

Tiger Woods has always been very careful in guiding his son through the game of golf. Inspired by his late father, Earl Woods, the GOAT prepares Charlie Woods for mental challenges in golf by employing distraction techniques similar to those his father used. In a 2022 interview, Woods explained, “It’s getting to a point where I can’t get in his head, and then no one else can get in there, either.” That’s a good thing. But, you know what’s even better? His son is possibly adapting some Rory McIlroy moves. Tiger Woods’s advice to his son came in late 2022 when the GOAT advised his son: “I told [Charlie],…

The Achilles injury has not stopped Tiger Woods from continuing to work on his other ventures outside of competitive golf. These include golf course design, an activity that Woods and his company, TGR Design, have recently revived. The 15-time major champion recently released a promotional video showing him at the construction site of his latest project, the Bluejack Ranch golf course in Aledo, Texas. It is a private residential club that will include a golf course among other amenities. Woods already designed a course for Bluejack in Montgomery, Texas (Bluejack National), which was built between 2014 and 2016. The start of construction of the…

A resurfaced video from 2007 has reignited interest in the iconic friendship between two of the greatest athletes of all time: Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. Captured during a pro-am event at the Wachovia Championship at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, the clip shows Jordan sinking a putt and immediately mimicking Woods’ signature fist pump celebration, a moment that drew laughter from the crowd and highlighted the chemistry between two fierce competitors at the top of their games. Good chance Tiger hit MJ with one too many fist pumps, and he took that personally. A great moment from their practice round…

But it’s not in the sport of golf. Like father, like daughter! Tiger Woods’ eldest child, Sam Alexis, 17, marked a major milestone on May 16. She graduated from The Benjamin School in Palm Beach County, FL, according to The Palm Beach Post. That means that Woods is at the beginning of his empty nester years. Son Charlie, 16, is a part of the class of 2027, so he has a few years to go before graduation. Sam will be heading to Stanford University in the fall, according to her alma mater’s Instagram post. The teen is following in her father’s footsteps as…

The Spaniard did add, however, that he will take the “positives” from the week into the rest of the season. Rahm started the week bidding to secure his third major title, just like eventual…

Tiger Woods‘s mission to surprise his fans has turned into dust. After weeks of speculation around his indoor golf league, TGL, a recent trademark application shed light on a potential new team while Woods was away from the greens.TGL Holdings LLC has filed for a trademark for “Motor City Golf Club,” sparking rumors that Detroit could be the next city to join the league. The Ford family was spotted attending TGL matches earlier this year, adding fuel to the speculation. Now, an insider has leaked crucial information on it, and fans are gobbling it up. Mike Sullivan, Founder of Metro Detroit Golfers, took…

Look, nobody expected Tiger Woods, still recovering from a ruptured Achilles, to be in the field for next month’s 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont. And it’s stretching belief to the breaking point to think he would be able to compete at a high level even if he were healthy. But it’s still a bit jarring to once again see a qualifying field without Woods’ name in it, and it’s a sign of where golf is headed. The USGA, which governs the U.S. Open, has the ability to hand out special exemptions — golden tickets if you will — that give…

The two players faltered on the final day after appearing in contention. Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau are both with LIV Golf. (Image: Getty) Brandel Chamblee has again taken aim at LIV Golf after both Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau failed to challenge Scottie Scheffler over the closing holes at PGA Championship. The world No.1 fired a level-par 71 to finish 11-under-par, and was able to cruise down the final hole as he finished five clear of the field. However, the tournament appeared in the balance earlier in the round as Rahm surged. After Scheffler shot two over par for his first nine, the Spaniard was briefly with…

After winning the 2025 PGA Championship, Scottie Scheffler is now just two majors away from the career Grand Slam. Scottie Scheffler is fresh off one of the biggest moments of his luxurious career. After winning the 2025 PGA Championship, Scheffler is now just two majors away (U.S. Open, The Open Championship) from the career Grand Slam. Scheffler joins Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only three players “since WWII” to win 15 PGA Tour events and three majors before the age of 29. Scheffler is the No. 1 golfer in the world for many reasons. His passion for winning and his mindset on…

Scottie Scheffler reminded the golf world why he is the number one ranked player in the world on Sunday. Scheffler won the 2025 PGA Championship by five strokes over several golfers, leaving little drama. It was his third major championship of his relatively young career. Scheffler had previously won the Masters twice (2022, 2024). A day after his victory at Quail Hollow, the PGA Tour dropped a video on X, formerly Twitter. The nearly two-minute video primarily features Tiger Woods explaining Scheffler’s greatness. Even Tiger Woods can’t deny Scottie Scheffler’s elite ball-striking 👏 pic.twitter.com/FJo6FQz0Fu — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 19, 2025 “We see shots into the greens…

14 PGA Tour official wins, 2 more in the Hero World Challenge, an Olympic Gold medal, and a long future ahead. Scottie Scheffler‘s resume shines through in an age where fans are desperate for a Tiger Woods-like dominant player. He may not be as enthusiastic as the legend, but Scheffler has certainly left a mark on the history of golf. Still only 28, there is no question he might achieve many more victories. Perhaps even outshine his idol’s records in the sport. But is he also living life king-size just like Woods? Over the last few years, Scheffler has earned over $145 million…

Pádraig Harrington looked at Rory McIlroy’s run during the opening round at Quail Hollow and muttered, “Even for Rory, the high that he got – you have to have some comedown.” The “comedown” for Rory McIlroy manifests in a tilted head, slumped and sagging shoulders, and absolute silence from his side. However, for a golfer who has achieved his career Grand Slam, the golf world expects a few things from him, like speaking to the media. Does the Northern Irishman do that? No–and that’s the issue. Rory McIlroy’s troubles at Quail Hollow began with a 2-over par in the first…

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – One year ago, Scottie Scheffler was stuffed in the back of a squad car, charged with multiples crimes and stretched for his second-round tee time at the PGA Championship in a jail cell. Along with a mug shot in an orange jumpsuit that became a popular Halloween costume, Scheffler has two Green Jackets and now owns the Green Mile at Quail Hollow Club. One year later, Scheffler took no prisoners in closing in even-par 71 to win the 107th PGA Championship by five strokes over Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English and Davis Riley on Sunday and collect his third major championship.…

Not everybody can get to the final stages of the PGA Championship, as one particularly bitter player is coming to terms with all the way in Charlotte as he turned on the fans at Quail Hollow One golf star found the crowds at Quail Hollow to be a bit much(Image: Getty Images) Rory McIlroy only just scraped through to the weekend’s play at the PGA Championship. But for 82 out of the 156 starters, their Major journey came to an abrupt end. The cut was ultimately drawn at one over par, coinciding precisely with McIlroy’s score at the close of play. Giants of…

Just last year, Tiger Woods made headlines with his gritty return to the PGA Championship after a long three-year absence but ended up missing the cut. Even though he didn’t contend for the win, every swing, wince, and walk down the fairway had fans glued to their screens. Maybe that’s why the numbers last year were great. Unlike this year. So we all know Woods has been fighting through another round of surgeries and setbacks. Last fall, he had a back procedure to ease the chronic pain that’s been haunting him for years. Just as fans were getting hopeful again,…

The reintroduction of rangefinders for the PGA Championship has not been without controversy, with penalties now in place for any player found to be in breach of the strict rules Rangefinders will be used with a distance-only setting(Image: Getty Images) PGA Championship competitors are set to speed up their game as rangefinders have been given the green light. The technology was originally banned until 2021. However, with the pace of the game becoming something of a contentious issue, with speed being a particular concern at the Masters in April – and something Rory McIlroy has repeatedly complained about on the PGA Tour – devices will be…

Tiger Woods has not played since the 2024 Open Championship, where he missed the cut at Royal Troon – but has made no decisions on retirement just yet. Tiger Woods’ absence from the professional golfing scene for nearly a year has fuelled retirement rumours, despite his legendary status. At 49, Woods’ record is nothing short of spectacular, boasting 15 major titles, 82 PGA Tour victories, and an impressive 683 weeks as world No. 1. Yet, this hasn’t stopped the whispers about when he’ll hang up his clubs, especially considering his recent slowdown and less dominant performances. Golfing legend Colin Montgomerie hinted that Woods should…

The legendary Tiger Woods may not be in the field for the PGA Championship, but his presence will still be felt during the week. His golf clothing brand, Sun Day Red, has launched a new collection to commemorate this important event. It is the Carolina Collection, the brand’s sixth collection to date. According to the press release announcing the news, the collection was inspired by the “pristine” landscape and prestigious championship heritage of the Carolinas, with designs incorporating insights from Wood’s experience competing at the highest level. “The Carolina Collection represents our celebration of a region with deep golfing heritage and…
