Saint Andrews, SC

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Call her the last of the legends. With Annika Sorenstam 16 years into retirement and now Laura Davies missing from the AIG Women’s Open for the first time since 1979, Karrie Webb is the lone remaining player of the three who dominated women’s golf at various times for a 30-year period from 1985 and 2015. Actually, even the soon-to-be 50-year-old Australian has almost disappeared from view. Competing this week in the year’s final women’s major championship for the first time since 2019, Webb is in St. Andrews simply because, well, it’s the Old Course.

U.S. Solheim Cup captain Stacy Lewis expected this version of the matches to mirror the 2023 edition at Finca Cortesin. With the matchup having only one year between contests this time, thanks to the LPGA opting to move it to even years, the second-year captain thought only a few players would change between the teams. However, with a week to go before the American and European rosters are finalized following the AIG Women's Open, there is a possibility to have three new American faces at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club next month in Virginia.

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.

Paint is sooooo 2023. Art in 2024 is all about thousands of tiny pieces of wood. Just ask Kansas City based artist Aaron Norris. Norris graced these pages last year when he completed a portrait of Tiger Woods made entirely out of golf tees. We didn’t think he could top that feat, but that was before we saw his latest Tiger tribute, crafted from 30,000 tiny blocks of wood. Feast your eyes.

It’s been nearly three decades since “Happy Gilmore” was released in theaters, but in the meantime the comedy classic has aged like a fine wine. Those who were around back then fondly remember the film—perhaps, even too fondly—and those who were born after have come to love it on streaming platforms that weren’t even conceived of back in 1996. The movie’s enduring popularity was never more apparent than it was on Tuesday when an open casting call for a long-awaited sequel caused massive gridlock in Morristown, N.J., and created a line longer than one of Happy’s mythical tee shots.

Some golfers are visual learners. I am one of them. I haven't had very many one-on-one lessons in my life. Growing up, I learned a great deal from watching professional golf on TV, paying close attention to how the world's best golfers have swung the club over the years. I...

The PGA Tour's best player, Scottie Scheffler, has made it pretty clear over the past week: The FedEx Cup Playoffs? Sure, they're fine. Not really his thing, though. “I talked about it the last few years, I think it's silly,” Scheffler said before last week's FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind. “You can't call it a season-long race and have it come down to one tournament.”

Probably not, so jot it down in your golf memory books. It's an important term to know, and better yet, a useful one that can help improve your golf swing. When we make a golf swing, our upper and lower bodies sway back and forth, or side-to-side. But your upper and lower bodies don't sway back and forth the same amount. Sway Gap is a term coined by SportsBox AI, and that's what it measures: the difference between how much your upper and lower body sways.

It's called 'sway gap'—why golfers like you should know and care about it

LIV Golf star Tyrrell Hatton will tee it up in his first DP World Tour event in seven months at next week's British Masters on home turf at The Belfry. Despite having joined LIV Golf earlier this season, Hatton, 32, is eligible to participate in the Ryder Cup's first qualification event - the British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo - on 29 August since he has served his outstanding suspensions on the DP World Tour.
