PGA Tour action expands to four feeds this week at The American Express. Here is how to watch on ESPN+.
The PGA Tour heads to La Quinta, Calif. this week for The American Express. Here are our best bets for the event.
Phil Mickelson is the host this week at The American Express. That got our experts to thinking -- can he produce more magic in 2022? Plus, a look at the next breakthrough 40-something and more.
The chase for No. 1 is on. There's a new commissioner. There's more money at stake. A big season opens on the LPGA Tour. Here's a look at the things to watch.
MyTaylorMade+ represents a significant overhaul of what was TaylorMade’s MyRoundPro App. If you’re not familiar with MyRoundPro, it was TaylorMade’s foray into sensor-less shot/round tracking. With the rise of mostly automated shot-tracking platforms like Arccos and ShotScope, unless you’re willing to go full DECADE, entering every shot by hand is neither appealing nor necessary. Golfers should want more.
With that in mind, MyRoundPro needed to evolve.
Where evolution might creep towards revolution is a new structure which arguably makes TaylorMade the first golf company to offer a rundle.
What’s a rundle, you might ask?
The Latin America Amateur Championship has a spot in the Masters riding on it. Here's how you can watch this week on ESPN's family of networks.
More than 50 United States colleges will be represented at the Latin America Amateur Championship, including five players from Arkansas. All arrive with the same goal: a spot in the Masters.
The new Srixon Z-STAR DIVIDE yellow/white golf balls beg one simple and obvious question.
Why?
Fortunately, there’s a simple and obvious answer to that simple and obvious question.
Why the hell not?
I’m sure a bit more went into Srixon’s decision-making than why the hell not? There had to be questions of market potential, unit forecasting, break-even points, new-equipment capital expenditure and amortization, the potential for cannibalizing existing sales versus market share growth and so on. Those are all for the grown-ups to decide.
As a sizable herd prepares to descend on Saudi Arabia in a few weeks to cash in and talk league golf with Greg Norman’s pals, there are signs that the Crown Prince’s act is wearing then. Except with autocrat-tolerating pro golfers.
While the potential damage to sportwashing may make those at the Global Home feel better about the likelihood of Saudis failing at disruption, the damage done to the “product” may be just as painful.
Last week Bryson DeChambeau, who has been blowing off press sessions even when he’s endorsed by the tournament sponsor, gladly talked about the Public Investment Fund Saudi International Powered by Softbank Investment Advisers (PIFSIPSIA).
It’s amazing what happens when the fees are paid by folks linked to murder instead of mortgages! From Steve DiMeglio’s item at Golfweek:
“So, not a politician, first off,” he said Thursday in a video conference with the media ahead of next month’s tournament in the Middle East. “I’m a golfer, first and foremost, and I want to play where the best golfers in the world are going to play. And that is the end of the story for me.”
Hideki Matsuyama made up a five-shot deficit on the back nine and then won the Sony Open in a playoff with one of the best shots he never saw, a 3-wood into the sun to 3 feet for an eagle to beat Russell Henley on Sunday.
It’s not a huge surprise to read of Kevin Kisner’s frustration over getting passed over in recent Cup Captain’s picks. After stellar play in 2017’s Presidents Cup, Kisner seemed like a wise candidate for Paris the following year. Especially given the likelihood of the European’s narrowing landing areas and nullifying long driving. He was passed over for Royal Melbourne’s 2019 Presidents Cup despite being a strong fit for the course and format. And as he continued to emerge as an incredible match play golfer, culminating in a 2019 WGC match play win, his game was seen as less suited to the (ultimately successful) plan for Whistling Straits: bomb’s away!
Either way Kisner’s no Task Force fan based on comments made in the Subpar podcast hosted by Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz.
From Golf.com’s story by James Colgan detailing Kisner’s gripes:
“I don’t know, man. They don’t like me I, guess,” Kisner told GOLF’s Subpar podcast. “I’ve had the same phone call for about four [Ryder Cups] in a row from about every captain. ‘Man, you were on the team and then you didn’t play well in the playoffs.’ OK, bud.”
If match play resume is part of the criteria, Kisner certainly has an argument. In five starts at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, between 2016-2021, he’s 16-6-2, including a victory at the event in 2019.
Golf is a pastime of the open air—“a blowing away of mental cobwebs,” runs the famous phrase—and in golf there is, or ought to be, no place for the cheat, the ignoramus, or the opportunist where the rules are concerned. It is impossible to eradicate cheating entirely and there will always be some golfers eager to profit by the letter of the law to the detriment of the spirit. But I believe the great majority of golfers are men and women enjoying the game for the game’s sake and willing to obey both letter and spirit. GEOFFREY COUSINS
Russell Henley fired a 3-under 67 Saturday at the Sony Open in Hawaii and earned a two-shot lead over Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama with one round to go on the Waialae course in Honolulu.
