It's time for the 2024 RBC Heritage tournament! Will Matt Fitzpatrick defend his title? Check out how to watch the action on ESPN now.

Chevron extended its sponsorship with the LPGA through 2029 and increased the purse for the Chevron Championship to $7.9 million.

Rory McIlroy dismissed a report that he's pondering an offer from LIV Golf for a reported $850 million: "I will play on the PGA Tour for the rest of my career."

Other than being a couple of weeks late (the first WedgeWorks offering typically arrives in time for the Masters rather than just after), the launch of the Vokey WedgeWorks Low Bounce K Grind Lob Wedge is reasonably predictable.

You may not have noticed but the Low Bounce K was the first grind to hit WedgeWorks after SM8 hit shelves in 2020. The same was true following the launch of SM9 in 2022.

There’s a pattern here.

You can chalk the predictability up to the evolving strategy behind Vokey’s limited-edition WedgeWorks platform. To be sure, you’re still going to see a few limited releases that are arguably impractical (though immensely fun) oddballs, but WedgeWorks has become the permanent home to loft, bounce and grind offerings that would likely be in the retail lineup were there unlimited space on retail shelves.

There isn’t but there is unlimited space at WedgeWorks.

Near the end of Sunday’s Masters broadcast, CBS announcer Jim Nantz fired a subtle shot at LIV.

“And the top five are all PGA Tour players,” Nantz said as Scottie Scheffler approached the 16th tee.

It would stay that way as Scheffler dominated everyone en route to a four-stroke victory over rookie sensation Ludvig Aberg. The rest of the top five was rounded out by Max Homa, Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood.

Those five players, who are some of the more adamant PGA Tour supporters, were among the pack battling for the green jacket over the weekend.

Meanwhile, LIV had a Masters to forget. The league’s 13 players combined to go 82-over as five LIV members (Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson, Adrian Meronk, Charl Schwartzel and Sergio Garcia) missed the cut.

Good ideas generally stem from unsolved problems.

adidas’ newest innovation in materials, TWISTKNIT and TWISTWEAVE, was born to provide golfers with a lighter, more comfortable alternative to the typical knits and weaves of golf apparel.

“The creation of TWISTKNIT and TWISTWEAVE essentially started with the idea to create wider weight materials for the golf category,” said Chase Aaronson, Senior Manager of Materials Development, adidas Golf. “Lightweight can equate to comfort and less fatigue.”

Less fatigue, you say? More comfort? Sign me up.

The purpose of adidas’ latest innovation is also to provide the golfer with fewer distractions and, thus, more focus. That all sounds great in theory. But if that can’t be done without sacrifices, the end result may not be worth it. Stretch and recovery, among other things, were a particular focus for the adidas team.

On Friday, the Masters asked Jason Day to remove his Malbon sweater vest.

That, in my mind, was absolutely uncalled for. The Masters singled out Day and Malbon, and they should issue an apology for doing so.

Sure, optically the insubordinate garment wasn’t the most appealing. Most golf fans weren’t too thrilled with the look. (I’m on the fence, I don’t love it but don’t hate it.)

But the optics of the Masters dictating what Day can wear, especially when other golfers are plastered with logos and brands, are far worse than that of the actual Malbon vest.

I’m not one for smear campaigns but I can’t fathom a world in which the Masters can ask one single player to change their attire. And unless there’s some rulebook that I’m not privy to (I’m not one of the good ol’ boys), I don’t understand how Day’s Malbon vest broke any rules.
