Legacy is a powerful thing in sports. It defines a person’s contribution not just as a purveyor of the sport but as a flagbearer to the very ethos of it. Michael Jordan was a player who defined the legacy of the NBA. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for soccer. The Big Three—Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic—for tennis. Even Golf has several legacy members in their ranks. Jack Nicklaus’s legacy stands out for his immense dedication to success and pursuit of it. But on and off the field, there is one name that stands tall—Tiger Woods. Dan Rapaport, in his podcast Dan on…

Looks like Scottie Scheffler is back to throwing tantrums again! Earlier this year, the #1 had quite a few outbursts after a series of bad performances. His biggest blowup came at TPC Scottsdale when a bad stroke made him reach his boiling point, and he smacked his golf bag with his wedge. The swing was powerful enough to break his bottle of water that was packed in the bag. This time around, he seems to have targeted the fairway after things didn’t go the way he had planned. Playing on the 14th hole in the first round at Oakmont Country Club in the…

Look, Scottie Scheffler is absolutely crushing it right now. Eight wins in 12 starts? That’s Tiger Woods territory. But if you think the U.S. Open is just going to roll over for him, you haven’t been paying attention to golf’s cruelest major. Here’s a guy who’s won everything else—including his first PGA Championship just weeks ago—yet he’s never claimed a U.S. Open title. His best finish? Runner-up in 2022, watching Matt Fitzpatrick celebrate at Brookline while he wondered what might have been. Scheffler dominates the 2025 season like few before him. Still, three significant challenges await him at Oakmont Country Club this week. Each threat could derail…

“Cooked beyond belief” is how Bryson DeChambeau decided to define the 2025 US Open venue, and well, that is some way to describe the Oakmont Country Club. The two-time U.S. Open champion recently took to the course for some early practice, and let’s just say the rough had other plans. DeChambeau battled through the thick, five-inch-long grass, describing one particularly tough lie as “complete guesswork.” The conditions were so challenging that he quipped, “This is the hardest this golf course could ever play right now,” and who can argue with that? Oakmont’s notorious rough, lightning-fast greens and plethora of bunkers have given pros fits in the…

Charlie Woods could not capitalize on his momentum after winning his first American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) tournament. He plummeted down the leaderboard over the weekend to finish second to last in the 108th Florida State Amateur Championship. Tiger Woods’ son started the event well but struggled over the weekend.

His Sunday card included three birdies, three bogeys, four double bogeys, and one triple bogey. Woods’ performance worsened throughout the event. With Tiger Woods watching on site Thursday, he carded rounds of 74 and 72 in…

And they’re promising to make things tough on the game’s very best. The US Open is notorious for its punishing rough and slick greens, that make low scoring a rare feat for the world’s elite. It’s the most difficult Major to score low.…

Tiger Woods is not a person who favors comparisons between himself and his son Charlie. The popular golfer has every right to be delighted with his son’s victory at the prestigious junior event, but Tiger has always emphasized that Charlie should build his own path, without paying too much attention to his father. However, how realistic is that? The media follows your every step, analyzes your every move and compares you with your father from a young age. Charlie clearly needs to find a recipe for this kind of thing, but it seems that the 16-year-old knows how to resist such things.…

“Don’t compare him to me, because he’s not me, he’s Charlie, OK?” These words came straight out of 15-time major winner, Tiger Woods, during his interview with Bridgestone Golf’s “Another Golf Podcast.” Tiger has achieved some remarkable success during his career. 82 PGA Tour wins, 15 Majors, and numerous record-breaking moments while he battled through his injuries. But the 49-year-old never wanted his son to carry the weight of his own legacy. As reflected in various media appearances, Tiger wanted Charlie to have space, time, and freedom to build something entirely his own. Turns out, Charlie didn’t need much time at all. At just…

Rory McIlroy’s Masters win this year was probably one of those PGA Tour stories that underlines heartbreak, perseverance, and continuously showing up to ultimately win it all. Not just the career Grand Slam, but the 14 years of wait that left the Northern Irishman wondering if it will ever be his chance, that’s what the win was all about. And although his Irish golfing partner Shane Lowry joked “Who cares anymore?,” for the competitor inside McIlroy, participating in the Zurich Classic, just 10 days after his huge win, was important. As the 36-year-old said, playing in the PGA’s only lower pedigree team…

Woods slid back to even par with a bogey on No. 14 and carded…

The incredible month of golf that Scottie Scheffler has had is leading to a big pay day – not only for the World No. 1 player, but his caddie as well. Scheffler has really gotten into the swing of things in May – winning the Byron Nelson, the PGA Championship, and the Memorial Tournament which just wrapped up on Sunday. Add to that a T4 finish last week in the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial and Scheffler has raked in $9.629million in tournaments this month. That means not only a huge pay day for Scheffler, but also for his caddie – Ted Scott.…
