How far did Ben Hogan and Sam Snead drive the ball? Unearthed study reveals.

A legal battle to determine whether LIV golfers can still compete in DP World Tour events including the Ryder Cup continues to wage on, but in the meantime, Nick Faldo took on the role of judge and jury to deliver a swifter decision. In an interview with Jamie Weir on...

Gary McCord is known for a lot of things, from being a tour pro, to his longtime role on TV, to his role with the movie "Tin Cup," and, yes, for being dropped from CBS' Masters coverage for saying things Augusta National didn't like. But he is not known for winning on the PGA Tour. Just ask him.

Jack Burke Jr.’s voice, once commanding and direct, is softer these days. His answers to questions are less thunderous, his opinions have less of a hard edge, and his tough-love parables on golf and life are gentler. For this icon of American golf, there’s a reason for the slight transformation. On Sunday, Jan. 29, Burke will celebrate his 100th birthday. The oldest living Masters and PGA Championship winner has arrived at a place we would all like to be—at peace and satisfied.

Getting the seal of approval from Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee, perhaps golf media’s most critical analyst, doesn’t come easily. Especially if you’re Rory McIlroy. Over the years, Chamblee has questioned the four-time major champion’s weightlifting routine and putting technique. The petty Twitter feuds between the two are well-documented.

SAN DIEGO — Oh, to be in Jon Rahm’s head right now. To understand what it’s like to address a golf ball and know that you’re pretty darned sure that you’ll hit it pretty darned close to where you want to. That your self-belief is so strong that nothing seems inescapable, whether it’s the nasty rough on the Torrey Pines South Course or an eight-stroke deficit heading into the final two days.

Max Homa, 32, a California native and graduate of the University of California Berkeley, added to his Golden State resume with a victory on Saturday in the Farmers Insurance Open on Torrey Pines' South Course in San Diego. The victory was his sixth on the PGA Tour, four of them...

Credit where credit is due, Phil Mickelson has never claimed to be a "fashion" guy. Attempts have certainly been made, like with his Mizzen+Main long sleeve button down or with his paper clip in his hat at the Open Championship or his God-awful mock turtleneck era. But no one has ever mistaken Mickelson's scripting for say, Justin Thomas' scripting.

During a recent appearance on the No Laying Up podcast, Max Homa alluded to the fact he has recently been working with the PGA Tour on the "entertainment" side of professional golf. Homa said he'd been bouncing some ideas around, and that one would be put into effect soon, but wouldn't say which.

DUBAI, U.A.E. — There’s just no separating them. Four days on from their brief and over-hyped interaction on the Emirates Golf Club range, Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed are together again. This time the pair are are six under par and high on the leaderboard, as Day 2 of this rain-delayed Hero Dubai Desert Classic crawled to a tardy Friday conclusion.

SAN DIEGO — It could be said that the Torrey Pines golf complex now represents something of a life-and-death circumstance for Max Homa when he's competes in the Farmers Insurance Open. Not literally, of course. But on the same grass, the popular Californian has both absorbed the loss of his childhood idol, NBA star Kobe Bryant, and the joys of cooing at his 2-month-old baby boy, Cam, as the newly crowned tournament champion.

LIV golfers have yet to be kept out of the four men’s majors by the organizations that run them. But that isn’t stopping another high-profile club that runs what some have affectionately called “the year’s first major” from saying no to the pros on the Saudi-backed circuit.

DUBAI, U.A.E. — Say what you like about Patrick Reed—and many have over the course of his controversial career—the man has an inordinate ability to focus on the golf course. Having endured three days of unwanted and high-profile attention ranging from mild ridicule to near humiliation over the so-called “tee-gate” encounter he had with Rory McIlroy on Monday, the former Masters champion is four under par and one-shot off the lead through the 16 holes he completed of his opening round in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. Truly, Reed is a remarkable individual, seemingly able to enjoy, or at least shrug off, even the most vehement criticism.

PGA Tour funnyman Max Homa is the undisputed King of Golf Twitter, but he came dangerously close on Thursday to being the butt of never-ending jokes in his own social media empire. And to having a pretty nasty headache. During the second round of the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open, the...

Given the messy, legal nature of the Rory McIlroy-Patrick Reed saga, you'd think other golfers, both PGA Tour and LIV ones, would want to just stay out of it. Max Homa is not like other golfers. Homa, whose tweeting prowess is well-documented, likes to keep up with current events, both...

Another top executive is out at LIV Golf. Jonathan Grella, who was chief communications officer for the Saudi-backed circuit, is no longer with the organization, a LIV spokesperson confirmed. Grella, who started with LIV last June, handled a variety of tasks, but was hired predominantly to help with lobbying endeavors...

The first offering will be the BB1 MS blade, one of first putters company founded Robert J. Bettinardi produced for the Bettinardi brand. The limited-run putter (just 250) will be available starting Jan. 31 at 10 a.m. CST in the Hive online at Bettinardi.com for $900 a club.

DUBAI, U.A.E. -- Most of the Thorbjornsens in the world are to be found in Norway. But not this one. Michael, born in Ohio, resident in Massachusetts and a junior at college in California (Stanford), is currently in the United Arab Emirates. And he’s doing rather well, too. Rounds of 70 and 64 over the Majlis course at the Emirates Golf Club have the 21-year-old former U.S. Junior champion tied for the halfway lead in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic alongside Richard Bland and Thomas Pieters at 10-under par.

The gimme is a fascinating concept. In our game where the objective is to get the ball into the hole, we often swipe away a two- … or three- … maybe even a four-footer instead of knocking it in. Gimmes are common etiquette in golf—helping pace of play...

DUBAI, U.A.E. -- On the surface, the halfway point of this Hero Dubai Desert Classic might appear to be pretty much like past editions of this event, the oldest constituent part of the DP World Tour’s Middle East Swing. But don’t be fooled. Lurking in the undergrowth is an alternative narrative, one darker than who might make off with the winner’s check in this $9 million Rolex Event.

From time-to-time you’ll see Golf Twitter take to task tour pros who, after hitting an errant shot that’s clearly heading toward the gallery, can’t seem to muster the courtesy of warning said fans that a ball is coming their way. Even tour pros themselves call out their peers on this—recall Eddie Pepperell dressing down Bryson DeChambeau. Is it really that hard to yell “Fore!”?
