It’s abundantly clear that Scottie Scheffler is the best male golfer in the world.
After that? You can make an argument for several players but no one stands out above the rest.
Scheffler is the dominant top dog among active players for everything except total career accomplishments. He just won the Masters, was the first to repeat as a Players champion and has been leading Data Golf’s Strokes Gained total metric over the past two and a half years.
We’re witnessing greatness with Scheffler, a player who has a path to becoming the best since Tiger.
If you were to rank players since 2010, Scheffler wouldn’t be at the top yet—he needs more major victories to get there—but he’s left no doubt about his No. 1 spot over the past few years, including 2024.
Melin’s latest limited edition hat collection is designed to make you stand out and fit in on the golf course. Introducing the Links Front 9 Collection. The Front 9 collection relies on old-school argyle patterns with a modern aesthetic to capture both golf’s storied history and its bright future.
Fresh off the heels of Melin’s first Links drop, the new five piece collection pays homage to tradition with the benefit of the modern performance features that make Melin hats the best in the business.
If there ever was a time to splurge on a hat, it’s now. While all five styles are enticing, my personal favorite is the new Legend model. This is, without a doubt, the coolest dad hat out there.
Of course, Melin’s hats don’t just look cool. They’re hydrophobic, sweat resistant and anti-microbial. Translation? They are built to perform better than any hat on the market.
Melin is the bar, and they continue to set it with each new collection. You can shop the Links Front 9 Collection now at Melin.

After my recent eBay escapades in which I found some cool vintage golf bags and hats, it’s time we start the hunt for some sweet, vintage golf polos.
You can spend hours at the Goodwill going through racks on racks. Or you could spend a few minutes on eBay and find a host of nostalgic pieces that will upgrade your wardrobe and have the cart girl wondering why you look so old and mature.
Pro tip: Use laundry scent beads to get rid of that “vintage” smell.
No kidding. Vintage is in style and there are plenty of options to go around. Here are just a few of the vintage golf shirts I found on eBay.
Vintage Ashworth Golf Polo
Can we have a list of vintage golf shirts without mentioning Ashworth? This slick geometric pattern is about as nostalgic as it gets. This shirt is 100-percent cotton and in great condition. You can pick up a host of Ashworth polos for solid prices on eBay.
There’s a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted TestsorBuyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
What We Tried:
SwingU—a GPS and shot-tracking mobile app.
Who Tried It:
Michael LoRé. A former mediocre high school golfer who got back into the game recently and can use any advantage he can get.
SwingU
Billed as “the best golf app for iOS + Apple Watch and Android,” SwingU offers on-course tools and statistics to help golfers improve their game.
Launched as Swing By Swing in 2008, the app was rebranded as SwingU in 2016 under new ownership. Not only does SwingU boast longevity in the game but its popularity speaks volumes.

Using your putter as a plumb bob to determine the break near the hole will cut strokes from your game. Unfortunately, too many golfers try to plumb bob from behind their ball and without a calibrated putter. Those mistakes result in more missed putts.
Gravity and your clubs are the only tools that you can legally use to determine the slope of a green. Plumb bobbing only helps you understand the slope of the green where your feet are standing. For any putt, your ball will bend more with the slope of the green as it slows down near the hole. That’s why you need to plumb bob with your calibrated putter on a line from BEHIND THE HOLE and back to your ball.
Calibrate Your Putter
Every putter head has a different weight, and every shaft has a different taper. Calibrate your putter by standing 6 to 10 feet away from any door frame and letting your putter hang freely from your fingertips. Close one of your eyes and rotate the face of your hanging putter until one side of the shaft lines up with the door frame. [ RECORD the eye that you used, the side of your shaft (NOT INCLUDING THE GRIP) and the putter face orientation.]
Use Your Putter as a Plumb Bob to Determine the High Side Near the Hole
-Stand on the line behind the hole so that you can see the hole in-line with your ball.-Hang your putter shaft in front of you to line up the hole near the bottom of your shaft.–The top of your shaft will line up on the high side of your ball so that’s the high side of the slope near your hole.-The greater the gap from your shaft edge to your ball, to greater the slope and the faster your ball will break down to the hole.If there is a significant double or triple break on the green leading to the hole, you need to consider what those breaks will do when your ball is rolling at a higher speed where the slope will have less impact. Plumb bobbing will only help you determine the slope near the hole. If you can see an obvious slope near the hole, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME PLUMB BOBBING.
Nelly Korda, who is seeking to set the LPGA record with wins in six consecutive starts, said she has kept her mind off the pursuit by staying busy off the course.
A final stop before the PGA Championship for Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Justin Thomas & Co., Nelly Korda shines on the course (and the red carpet), and more from the golf world.
Rory McIlroy will no longer replace Webb Simpson on the PGA Tour policy board and the board of directors of PGA Tour Enterprises, saying there were some on the board "that were maybe uncomfortable with me coming back on for some reason."
