Tiger Woods is at Pebble Beach this week for his charity's annual three-day excursion in the Monterey Peninsula. His foundation's Instagram highlighted portions of a driving range Q&A in which the 14-time major winner shed light on the past year and what's on his horizon. One of the subjects discussed was his performance, or lack […]

To all beleaguered golfers without a hole-in-one, make sure no sharp objects are around before reading the following. According to Golf Monthly, 62-year-old Andrew Easdale registered an ace this summer at the Short Course at Trevose in France using…a putter. Why the putter, you ask? “I could claim that with links courses one ought to […]

Steven Bowditch, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour and former Presidents Cup player, announced on Tuesday that he will undergo spinal fusion surgery, the same procedure Tiger Woods had last year. “I spent much of the last two years dealing with lower back pain, leg numbness, sciatic pain, loss of control of my right […]

The PGA Tour continues its mini Asian swing this week in Jeju Island, South Korea for the second-ever playing of the CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges. Like the CIMB Classic, the field consists of just 78 players, each of them vying for the tour's biggest purse outside of the majors and WGCs of $9.5 million, […]

The news of Johnny Miller's retirement from NBC/Golf Channel is a fitting occasion to put Miller's popularity in perspective. Certainly few announcers in the sport have had such a profound influence owing to Miller's willingness to criticize golfers in ways others wouldn't. But did that always equate to fans? That depends. It's worth noting that […]

At the 2017 British Open, I had the pleasure of squiring Gary Player about Royal Birkdale as he critiqued the unhealthy foods being consumed by fans. It was all in good fun — although, I'm pretty sure one kid will never eat potato chips for the rest of his life — and I captured it […]

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we’ve never received a more exciting, yet devastating phone call than when JOHNNY MILLER popped up on caller ID. I had reached out to Miller minutes before to ask about a report he was finally hanging up his headset, and my phone buzzing could only mean one […]

More than 700 courses have had their greens mapped by StrackaLine, and according to the company more than 300 NCAA Division I college programs use StrackaLine maps.

Like everything in 2018, theme songs for sports games on the major networks just ain't what they used to be. The Monday Night Football theme has lost its luster, the Sunday Night Football theme is a pile of steaming hot garbage and other than the FOX theme that's used for football and baseball, there isn't […]

When it was announced that Jason Witten would be taking Jon Gruden's place on Monday Night Football, it felt like an eerily similar move to CBS handing Tony Romo the color commentator job on a silver platter. Neither former Dallas Cowboy had any prior experience calling NFL games, not that that's a prerequisite as many […]
