It’s been two years since the merger talk popped off. Is this the longest-running debate? Does the public know about it any better than it did before? Maybe, and no. As Collin Morikawa quipped two years ago, “I love finding out morning news on Twitter,” fans can’t help but wonder if that’s how they will find more details. The lack of clarity isn’t just frustrating for the fans. The players are kept in the dark about the details as well. While this has caused anxiety among some, the 8x PGA Tour champion Billy Horschel has surprisingly come to the defense of this Jay Monahan decision. Recently, Billy…

In Los Angeles GC’s 6-2 win over Boston Common three weeks ago, on Tuesday night, a strange moment left everyone puzzled. After Justin Rose and Collin Morikawa had made significant progress on the 582-yard, par-5 second hole, Tommy Fleetwood was set to hit a short-iron from 167 yards out. As the Englishman prepared to strike, his shot toward the super-sized TGL screen at SoFi Center seemed to disappear for a moment. The screen then showed the ball trickling along the ground, as though Fleetwood had topped it. Confusion spread instantly. Fleetwood was confused. Rory McIlroy was confused. “What just happened?” McIlroy exclaimed.…

Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau played out a major championship battle for the ages at last year’s US Open, and the PGA Tour star would like the opportunity to take on the LIV golfer more often Rory McIlroy has admitted he would like the opportunity to take on Bryson DeChambeau more often amid the ongoing split between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. McIlroy infamously lost out to DeChambeau at last year’s US Open, after the American capitalised on a number of mistakes from the Northern Irishman down the stretch. It proved to be one of the great major championship finishes, with two of the most in-form players…

Rory McIlroy’s heartbreaking collapse at the US Open last year has been brought into focus with the release of the new series of Netflix’s Full Swing, with a critical conversation being revealed Rory McIlroy’s caddie Harry Diamond came under fire for his part in last year’s US Open collapse that prolonged the Northern Irishman’s 10-year wait for a major championship victory, and the conversation they had before his fateful final tee shot has finally been revealed.

Gene Sarazen wasn’t just a golfer; he was golf. From his famous sand wedge to his iconic wins, Sarazen defined the game. His legacy was celebrated yearly at The Masters, where he was part of the ceremonial opening. “Gene Sarazen is unavoidable in the history of golf,” said Jack Nicklaus, recognizing his mark on the sport. Sarazen passed away on May 13, 1999, at 97, leaving behind a monumental legacy, including his unforgettable “shot heard ’round the world,” which helped put The Masters on the map. This happened just a few months before Tiger Woods had added a feather to his hat. In 2000,…

Tiger Woods was left red-faced during his latest appearance in the TGL, with the 15-time major winner admitting that he had suffered one of the most embarrassing moments of his career Tiger Woods experienced an ’embarrassing’ blunder during his latest TGL appearance, as the golf legend made his return to the sport. While competing for Jupiter Links at the inventive indoor golf tournament, Woods had a distance of 199 yards to cover on the 13th hole. However, a miscommunication with his caddie led him to believe he only needed to hit 99 yards, so he picked up a wedge. The shot by the 15-time major…

TGL has two words that keep floating around to describe it. One is innovative. The technology base makes it more in line with the modern era and gives it a more polished presence. Frankie Borelli, one of the hosts of Fore Play Podcast, had this to say in the latest episode. “It is 2 hours long. It is easy to consume.” The second is consumer-friendly. In a world of dying attention spans and second-screen ventures, TGL fits perfectly. Maybe these are the reasons TGL started on a high note. Averaging over 900,000K viewers in the debut match? Came week 2, the number skyrocketed…

PGA Tour golfers are known for their hefty earnings, with top players amassing substantial wealth throughout their careers. However, Maverick McNealy might just be the richest golfer you’ve never heard of. The 29 year old secured his first PGA Tour victory in November by birdieing the final hole at The RSM Classic. Just last week, the California-born prodigy, who qualified for the 2014 U.S. Open at the tender age of 18, narrowly missed out on winning the Genesis Invitational. Despite a stellar final round where he shot an impressive 64 to finish 11-under par, McNealy was edged out by Ludvig Aberg. This meant missing out on…

Ludvig Aberg got his hands on the Genesis Invitational in front of Tiger Woods last weekend, but like the 82-time PGA Tour winner, the young Swede wants more With the dust settling on Ludivg Aberg’s Genesis Invitational win at Torrey Pines last week, the Swede has one thing on his mind – to win again. Aberg stormed his way through the pack in last Sunday’s final round, making four birdies across his final six holes to shoot a six-under-par 66 and win by one ahead of Maverick McNealy. It was the latest step in the youngster’s incredible rise on the PGA Tour, having only turned…

Jon Rahm has dropped out of the world’s top 50 for the first time in over eight years after his Spanish PGA Tour embargo, the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) confirmed on Monday Jon Rahm has dropped out of the top 50 golfers in the world for the first time since 2017, with the OWGR placing him at No. 52 this week.

Could TGL be any more invisible? Should we play John Cena’s title track every time it’s on? The golf leagues in 2025 have struggled to find the expected viewership. Even TGL faced a similar backlash from fans as the PGA Tour. Starting the 2025 schedule, the Sentry offered a great victory run for Hideki Matsuyama, scoring under par 35. However, the viewership saw a drop of 34%. Continuing in the schedule, American Express saw the same feat but with bigger margins as it had a 54% drop. The curse of declining viewership has been lifted from the PGA Tour as the…

Was It a One-Sided Affair or a Legendary Rivalry in Golf? The intense yet captivating rivalry between Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods defined professional golf for many years. Their on-course conflicts and off-course interactions have influenced the current state of golf and were once regarded as two of the strongest stars in the sport. Although they never had a particularly close relationship, they did respect one another, albeit with an edge of competition. Mickelson has long recognized Woods’s influence on the game, and in a recent open discussion, he finally acknowledged the true debt he owes to his greatest rival. So, let’s find out…

Karl Vilips is making his PGA Tour debut this week, and he’s doing it in style, quite literally. The 23-year-old Australian is stepping onto the big stage as the first official brand ambassador for Tiger Woods’s clothing line, Sun Day Red. But while the endorsement itself is a huge moment, it was Woods’s personal Instagram shoutout that truly left Vilips speechless. The 82x Tour winner reposted the SDR’s announcement video on his story. Vilips’s reaction? A simple, seven-word response: “Coolest thing that ever happened to me.” He knows he’ll not be the only one, but to be first, alongside Woods means the…

The golf pro’s mistake at a recent TGL match caused his Jupiter Links teammates to fall to the ground laughing Tiger Woods and his team were off their game at a recent TGL match, culminating with an “embarrassing” mistake for Woods that prompted his Jupiter Links teammates to fall to the ground laughing. On Tuesday, Feb. 18, Woods had 199 yards to the hole and asked his friend Rob McNamara to confirm the yardage, according to the TGL official site. McNamara verified it was 99, dropping the “1” as is custom in golf to indicate 199 yards. Woods misunderstood, hitting wedge, a solid…

Tiger Woods has rarely appeared on the golf courses for the last few years, for well-known reasons. Injuries, which present a huge obstacle for the experienced golfer, continue to cause him problems. A body that has been playing this sport for years, at its peak, breaking records, has obviously suffered enormous efforts. The 48-year-old is therefore an increasingly rare occurrence on golf courses, although he appears in several tournaments from year to year. After the surgery in September of last year, golf fans hoped that his appearances on golf courses would become more frequent, but it seems that we have to…

Ever encountered a rival so powerful that their mere existence seemed to be a mental obstacle? That opponent for Adam Scott was Tiger Woods. An iconic figure of his generation, Woods not only won tournaments but also controlled them. His charisma, accuracy, and unwavering determination revolutionized golf, motivating and frightening players in equal measure. Scott, who has 14 career wins and boasts a ranking of 25th in the OWGR list currently, was one of those who was profoundly affected. Although their friendship is based on respect for one another, Scott was immediately struck by Tiger’s psychological superiority. Recently, Scott acknowledged that playing with…

Did Greg Norman’s attempt to stay relevant in LIV Golf just get flushed down the drain? The former CEO of the Saudi-based promotion dedicated 3 years of his life to building a league that can compete with the PGA Tour. He fought tooth and nail to secure some of the biggest deals for LIV Golf. Norman became an icon for what he has done for the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, & Co. And yet, he couldn’t convince the Public Investment Fund to extend his contract past January 2025. Fast forward, the new CEO; Scott O’Neil has since taken LIV Golf…

Rory McIlroy was far from impressed with a fan at the Genesis Invitational, who blamed his caddie Harry Diamond for his struggles during the final round on Sunday Rory McIlroy sensationally stood up for his caddie, Harry Diamond, after a spectator blamed him for the Northern Irishman’s missed shot at the Genesis Invitational.

Mixing modern tech with ancient traditions can get messy. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy co-founded TGL, a tech-driven golf league that aims to transform the game by fusing live play with virtual experiences. Even though the concept seemed audacious, reality had other ideas. It all began in November 2023 when the dome of their Florida venue collapsed due to a power system issue, forcing a one-year delay in the league’s much-awaited debut. Additionally, things weren’t exactly going smoothly when play started in January 2025. Inaccurate simulators, erratic ball tracking, and green complexes that didn’t precisely replicate real-world circumstances were challenges for players. Just when…
