But while many golf fans are taking aim at McIlory, Nicklaus isn’t among them. ‘I am not throwing Rory under the bus,’ the 85-year-old Nicklaus told reporters at the 50th Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio. ‘I like Rory too much. He’s a good kid. He’s played some great golf. He’s had a lot of things that have happened to him. He’s got to make his own call on things. ‘Could he have done them differently? Probably. But that’s all right. I could probably have done…

The digital world can be a wild place. With social media, it’s become easier for scammers to impersonate celebrities and trick fans out of their money. Many people have fallen victim to online scams, losing cash and personal data. On that same note, recently, golfers in Tiger Woods’s TGL team have taken to social media to warn about a surge in fake accounts impersonating them.

The third men’s major, the U.S. Open, is almost upon us; however, there’s little sign of Tiger Woods. In fact, there’s none. The golfer, having undergone Achilles surgery, has missed the 2025 season so far. In 2024, he played in all four majors and missed the cut in three. Additionally, he recorded his career-worst score at the Masters (16-over 304). Given his lack of presence and poor performance, the golfer has fallen to his career worst OWGR: 1,341. However, his performance has been affected by both the surgeries and injuries—especially the one he dealt with in 2013. The story starts with…

Rory McIlroy completed his long-awaited career Grand Slam when he clinched Masters glory at Augusta last month, while the finishing touches were also being put to another of the Northern Irishman’s projects.

He revealed last week that one of his first stops had been to Wentworth, home of the famous private golf club in Surrey, where it costs £200,000 to be a member. The club is surrounded by the Wentworth Estate, which has become the…

Rory McIlroy is set to miss his 3rd signature event of the year, with no known reasons. Rory McIlroy is giving The Memorial Tournament in Ohio a miss this year, marking his first absence since 2017. After already skipping The Sentry and RBC Heritage, it’s clear he’s being choosy about his schedule. Following a tied-47th finish at the US PGA Championship — where that non-conforming driver drama unfolded — McIlroy’s taking a two-week breather before jumping back into action at the Canadian Open on June 5, all in preparation for the US Open at Oakmont. There must be some consequences for…

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…

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.

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…
