You come at the king, you best not miss. That’s the moral of the story told by Justin Thomas in his pre-tournament press conference Tuesday at East Lake Golf Club where, in 2017, he was crowned FedEx Cup champion after finishing second in the Tour Championship but at the top of the season-long standings — a fitting end to the best year of Thomas’ career in which he racked up six wins. But there’s another moment that sticks out in Thomas’ mind when he looks back on his time spent at the famed course that sits five miles east of downtown Atlanta, and it…

Tiger Woods won the U.S. Amateur at the age of 18 years, 7 months, and 29 days. Mason Howell achieved the feat 6 months and 9 days sooner. The young star defeated Jackson Herrington in a grueling 36-hole contest in the Finals of the 2025 U.S. Amateur. With that, he became one of the youngest golfers to win the contest. Only Danny Lee (18 years and 1 month) and Byeong-Hun An (17 years, 11 months, and 13 days) have won it sooner. Proud of his student’s amazing achievement, coach Jimmy Gillam made an odd request to Howell when things got tense.…

The debate over golf’s greatest — Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, or Greg Norman — has never lost momentum. Recently, Paul Moloney and Hal Sutton, both seasoned professionals, shared rare first-hand insights that add fresh perspective to this timeless discussion of golfing greatness. Moloney, in particular, offered a vivid recollection. Paul Moloney’s recollection on the Talk Birdie To Me podcast about Tiger Woods’ debut at the 1996 Australian Open is well supported by the records. As Moloney put it, “I think Tiger had a shocking first nine on round one. So I think he went out and sort of like 43, 34 or something of that. For…

There is arguably no debate which has been more widely discussed among golf fans than whether Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods is the greatest player of all-time. It is the debate which is destined to never go away. Jack Nicklaus won 18 majors during his illustrious career, while Tiger Woods is only three behind. The next best male player, Walter Hagen, has 11. Nicklaus also finished second in 19 majors. But Woods seemed to completely change the game with what he achieved between 1997 and 2008. Had injuries and issues off the course not impacted the 49-year-old, it would not have been a shock…

Tiger Woods Faced Intense Pressure Before Signing $40 Million Nike Deal, Reveals Former Rival He wasn’t just another teenage prodigy chasing a title; he was already a myth in the making. In 1996, before the world saw the red shirt on Sundays, those who stood across from Tiger Woods already knew they were up against something far bigger than raw talent. Those who played against him remember not just the swings, but something else entirely. One of those players was Steve Scott — Tiger’s final opponent in the 1996 U.S. Amateur Championship, and the man who nearly stopped him from…

Charlie Woods’ hopes of making the US Junior Ryder Cup team went up in smoke during the final round of the Junior PGA Championships. The 16-year-old was eyeing the first big title of his junior career this week, with many of golf’s brightest young talents descending on Purdue University.

Tiger Woods listed four people when discussing the greatest players in golf history. The American would likely top many lists himself, considering the way in which he rapidly popularized the sport in the 1990s, commanded sponsorship deals with the likes of Nike, and permeated pop culture like no other golfer had really ever managed. And that doesn’t even touch on the 15 major championships — the last of which, his success at The Masters in 2019, was arguably the greatest achievement of an already-great career. And that is because it was a comeback for the ages. Woods hadn’t been competitive for years because…

Despite sitting second in the FedExCup standings, McIlroy is not teeing it up in Memphis for the $20 million FedEx St. Jude Championship. His decision, driven by strategic rest and a track record of poor performances in Tennessee’s summer heat, has drawn both support and criticism. Rory McIlroy made it clear nearly a year ago that he intended to skip the opening FedExCup Playoff event, and he hasn’t been shy about expressing…
