Sportsbooks are divided on the favorite to win the Masters, but the betting public is gravitating to defending champion Scottie Scheffler.
The decision not to invite Greg Norman to the Masters was made to ensure that attention focused on the tournament and players, not on LIV Golf's ongoing rift with the PGA Tour, Augusta National Golf Club chair Fred Ridley says.
How far does the average golfer at your home course hit the ball off the tee?
It depends, right? Age and skill level are the two key criteria. But according to the Arccos 2022 distance report, skill has a greater impact than age.
You’ve likely heard something about the distance rollback proposal announced jointly by the USGA and R&A. If not, here’s the skinny. For their part, the ruling bodies seem intent on leaving the ball alone for recreational golfers, reserving any changes for those who intend on playing in professional events and elite competitions.
I mention that as an important context because while “distance” is routinely part of the equipment dialog, it’s squarely in the crosshairs as the industry prepares for what could become a serious line of demarcation.
That aside, let’s take a closer look at amateur driving distance in 2022.

MyGolfSpy Ball Lab is where we quantify the quality and consistency of golf balls. Today, we’re reviewing the Spalding SD Tour. To learn more about our test process, click here.
About the Spalding SD Tour
The SD Tour is one of two urethane-covered golf balls sold under the Spalding brand (the other being the presumably firmer SD Tour X). It caught our attention because the dimple count matched a couple of other interesting balls. Oh, and it also sells for less than $20 per dozen which sounds like a hell of a good deal, especially for golfers looking to save big on golf balls.
Like looks, sounds can sometimes be deceiving.
While it was previously listed on the USGA conforming balls list, the Spalding SD Tour appears to have dropped off. That could suggest the ball is at the end of its life or, at a minimum, the manufacturer, Reliable of Milwaukee, has chosen not to pay the cost of keep the Spalding balls on the list.
In a year that saw Rory McIlroy play No. 1-ranked golf and cement himself as the leader of the PGA Tour, an elusive green jacket would mean that much more.
Who can win? Who has the best betting value? What props are the most interesting? Our experts look at the 2023 Masters from all angles.
Phil Mickelson is back at Augusta National Golf Club after skipping the Masters last year.
Scottie Scheffler says he "still can't believe" he'll be in the room as defending Masters champion for Tuesday night's Champions Dinner at Augusta.
Of all of the golf courses Tiger Woods has transited throughout his storied career, Augusta National sets apart -- a mirror of what has been and what's to come.
Lean into connectivity and storylines or go the scientific route? The USGA and PGA take different approaches to tournament pairings, but both are watching to see how the Masters sets the tone.
Tee times and pairings for the first two rounds at the Masters were announced Tuesday, including the grouping of Tiger Woods, Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele playing together on Thursday and Friday.
Ahead of his 25th appearance at the Masters, Tiger Woods acknowledges he doesn't know how many more competitive rounds he has left at Augusta National.
An arbitration panel has ruled that the European tour can fine former members with LIV Golf who don't have a conflicting events release, according to a report.
When it comes to green jacket recipients, Scottie Scheffler might seem, well, boring. His inner circle insists there's a method to the defending champ's monotony.
It’s early April, which explains why there’s an abundance of limited edition golf gear to celebrate the season’s first major. What differentiates this offering from most everything else is that, while the other stuff is designed to celebrate Augusta National, the Vokey WedgeWorks Limited Editon 64W is designed to help golfers play Augusta National.
A WedgeWorks Tradition
If you’ve kept up with WedgeWorks over the years, you know that the launch of a high loft, low bounce wedge is standard WedgeWorks practice ahead of the Masters. That said, it’s not every year we’re treated to this combination of high loft and low bounce.
The WedgeWorks 64W is roughly 6 degrees stronger than your average kitchen spatula with the same stated bounce as a T Grind.
If nothing else, it sounds like it could be a hell of a lot of fun.
About the Vokey WedgeWorks 64W
Even those of you well-versed in Vokey grinds may not be familiar with the W Grind given that it’s not in the retail lineup.
Bryson DeChambeau clarified you need your "A game" to treat Augusta National as a par-67, something he suggested -- and was criticized for -- in 2020. "Because of that statement, [people] think I don't have respect for the course. Are you kidding me?"
