Dame Laura Davies Explains ‘Really Tough Decision’ To Not Play AIG Women’s Open

Sadly, the Jordan Spieth Experience ended earlier than expected this PGA Tour season with the three-time major champ not advancing past the first round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. A T-68 (out of 70) at the St. Jude Championship wrapped up a rough 2024 for Spieth, who revealed after that he plans to undergo wrist surgery in the offseason. But while the 31-year-old didn't have his best stuff on the course this season, he still gave golf fans plenty of memorable moments in typical roller-coaster fashion.

Jordan Spieth had the most fitting finish ever to his wild and disappointing PGA Tour season

Greg Norman has hit back at a Golf Digest article that claims Jon Rahm is unhappy on LIV Golf and is desperate for a return to the PGA Tour. According to a Golf Digest article written by Jaime Diaz earlier this week, an unnaned 'veteran Tour insider' told the publication "if Jon Rahm could give the money back to the Saudis and come back to the PGA Tour, he couldn't write the cheque fast enough."

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Everything seems to be fake on the internet these days, so when we saw the below photo shared by our friend @Top100Rick on X last week, our BS meter was engaged. Rick posted the photo of what appeared to be a note from inside the stall of a golf course bathroom, offering a fresh pair of underpants and shorts if anyone had an … accident … on the course. No, this isn’t a golf course for preschoolers. We’re talking grown men and women.

MEMPHIS — Thomas Detry played his first 10 holes Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in seven under par, but the shot he might remember best in his final round at TPC Southwind is his approach into the 13th green that settled 74 feet from the pin. OK,...

Kate Jackson began her acting career as a silent ghost on TV's classic 1960s gothic daytime drama Dark Shadows but remains alive and well years after two horrific battles with breast cancer. Jackson went on to small screen prime-time stardom on police/detective/crime drama/comedies like The Rookies, Charlie's Angels, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and more. This is her triumphant story.

Major governing body denies audacious claim made by LIV Golf pro

The most remarkable thing about the 2025 PGA Tour schedule is not that it is essentially the same as this year’s but there is no accommodation for LIV Golf. When Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan announced it before start of play at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, he stressed the year-to-year continuity. Questioned about a deal with the Saudi Public Investment Fund backed rival circuit he said one had not been struck, nor did it seem likely in the near future.

Question: Other than loft, obviously, should all my wedges be the same model?. Answer: There is a simple answer to this question: “No.”. But we don’t like simple answers to these questions because every player’s equipment journey is unique, and every potential answer inspires more questions. Again, this is why a relationship with a quality fitter is so important for your game.
