Golf is a game, a great and glorious game, the greatest game any man was ever privileged to play. It is played for pleasure—for the modest and natural pleasure of walking around in the good clean air and for that other exquisite and almost unbearable pleasure of watching a perfect drive describe its graceful arc against a pure spring sky. Even those of us who earn our livings at the game, I can assure you, play it more for the pleasure than for the money. ARNOLD PALMER
Tiger Woods, who hasn't played in an official PGA Tour event for more than a year while recovering from injuries suffered in a car wreck, won the tour's inaugural Player Impact Program, which measures a player's popularity based on a set of criteria.
There are some mighty interesting tidbits in Acushnet’s 2021 financial report. A couple of them are so interesting that they forced us to go back and review Callaway’s 2021 financial report.
And what did we find? More interesting stuff.
First of all, it doesn’t take Warren Buffett to look in the rearview mirror and see Acushnet’s days as golf’s biggest company getting smaller in the distance. Callaway’s acquisition of Topgolf saw to that. But, despite the widening gap, the two companies are more alike than you might think.
And, depending on how you keep score, they’re a lot closer than you might think.
As we dive into Acushnet’s financials, it’s time to remind everyone that we aren’t—nor do we pretend to be—financial whiz kids. We’re just a gang who loves the golf business and we like to read. So with that in mind, let’s jump in.
The 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational features some of the best golfers in the world, including 2018 champ Rory McIlroy, who has the second-best odds in the field.
The PGA Tour goes to Arnie's place. Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau won't be there, but a solid field will be. Here's how to watch on ESPN+.

Palmer on a golf course was Jack Dempsey with his man on the ropes, Henry Aaron with a three-and-two fastball, Laver at set point, Joe Montana with a minute to play, A.J. Foyt with a lap to go and a car to catch. He never hit a safe shot. He tried to make 2 on every hole. Sometimes, he made 12. That was Palmer. They loved him for it. No one ever quite commanded the rapport with a gallery Palmer did. Players hated to play with him--or in front of him or in back of him. The audience was Palmer’s and they were legion. Part of it was, he swung like they did. Palmer went after the ball like a guy beating a carpet. It wasn’t pretty but it was effective. He won 62 tournaments but always managed to look like a refugee from the truck drivers’ flight at the local municipal. JIM MURRAY on Arnold Palmer
He’s a strong hoodie advocate and has a name out of central casting, so I wish him all the luck trying to diversify golf in the land of Brexit.

Introducing the all-new 2022 KYOEI KK CB! This is KYOEI’s new flagship forged cavity back iron. KYOEI has just announced a new Dual Weight II iron also offered in two finishes and in a couple of days, you are likely to see another new release from the brand.
2 years in the making, you may have seen its first iteration known as the 2021 Handmade Limited iron which was produced using traditional heavier blank forgings and pressed grooves. After tens of thousands of balls hit and many tester’s feedback the final retail release as seen here is much improved.
The new KK CB’s intended shape and center of gravity locations have been refined to specific heights and depths in each number club. Various top-rated forged irons from the other top brands were evaluated to isolate what aspects of the design and performance worked and just as important what attributes did not.
The end result is what KYOEI plans to be in their product line up for more than a few seasons, Yes folks it’s that good and as someone who has played every KYOEI iron including the Limited handmade’s that these were based on, I must say the brand has released an outstanding new line across the board.
The new KK CB also features the brand’s newly evolved modern 5 cut sole design. The sole grind is extremely versatile performing well for both diggers and sweepers. KYOEI has been testing the 5 cut soles for many years and their newest version interacts with the turf and even feels superior to the last version.
It’s not as earth-shattering as the day it signed the world’s 650th ranked player, but today’s news from Bridgestone is noteworthy. The word out of Covington, GA is former World No. 1 Jason Day is joining the Bridgestone Tour Staff starting this weekend in Orlando at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Terms of the multiyear deal are unannounced, but Bridgestone does say Day will be playing the 2022 Tour B X “for the foreseeable future.” Day joins Tiger, Bryson, Matt Kuchar, Fred Couples and Lexi Thompson in the Bridgestone stable.
“We’ve been working with him for over a year now,” Bridgestone Golf Ball Fitting Manager Adam Rehberg tells MyGolfSpy. “He’s very comfortable with the ball now and he wants to be a bigger part of the team.”
Day started experimenting with the Bridgestone TOUR B XS nearly two years ago, after playing with Tiger at Bay Hill. He was still under contract with TaylorMade at the time but asked Tiger for a sleeve of his balls to try. After his TaylorMade deal ran out, Day put the XS into play on his own without a deal.
“But as you guys have said, the Tiger ball doesn’t fit everybody,” Rehberg told us. “It can be way too spinny, even for a guy like Jason Day. He already had plenty of spin around the greens, but he found with the XS he was getting some floaty shots with his 6- through 9-irons. The X was a little more stable for him.”
New for 2022 The KYOEI Dual Weight II Forged Iron – A Players Distance Iron from Japan.
2 years since the Dual Weight I iron KYOEI is following up with their latest design the Dual Weight II which KYOEI believes shows advancement in capability through super high-quality forgings, CNC milling, and 2 years of product design study since the model’s first iteration. KYOEI’s original dual weight iron quickly became their best-selling model in 2020, 2 years later it has evolved to a much more refined and well-rounded option building upon what worked so well with its predecessor.
This is KYOEI’s most forgiving Iron with the brand’s thickest top line and widest sole of their new KK22 lineup which TSG will cover extensively the various models over the coming week. Japan Forged of super soft S20C this single-piece construction iron is designed for excellent accuracy and feel. The PW is based on 44* so it’s strong yet not too jacked by today’s standards you can expect the lofts to give you a few extra yards.
The announcement of Zach Johnson’s Ryder Cup Captaincy came packed with qualifying details for the 2023 matches outside Rome. Looking rested and sporting a robust mane, Johnson was hit with questions about a Phil Mickelson vice captaincy, a task force tradition in advance of a presumed leadership role in 2025. On that, Johnson was less definitive. Instead of saying “it’s 19 months away”, the answers were a roundabout way of suggesting a Mickelson role appears unlikely.
You can watch the full session here.

It’s my favorite time of year. No not Christmas but pretty damn close. The Arnold Palmer Collection 2022 to be exact. So yeah it’s the same thing in my eyes.
Puma Golf has launched its new spring 2022 PUMA X Arnold Palmer Collection. Trust me, there’s something about that yellow, green, red and white umbrella that gives me the tingles. Granted it has a lot to do with Mr. Arnold Palmer himself being a legend of the game but his legacy runs true year after year.
So without further ado, here is the new collection that I thought you might want to see.
Check it out and let me know if you love this time of year also.

Zach Johnson, introduced as the 30th U.S. Ryder Cup captain Monday, says he'll keep current system of six automatic qualifiers, six captain's picks for 2023.
If the average golfer considers the points of strategy which have been worked out in advance for a properly designed hole, he will undoubtedly improve his game in his play of such a problem. There is no question but that the strategy of golf is one of its most important assets, and our newer courses present many most interesting situations which increase their value. The question of strategy is of the utmost importance to the golf architect and to the golfer, and such strategy will be developed more and more during the coming years. GEORGE THOMAS
