[ad_1] Everyone who told you the greens at Pinehurst No. 2 were going to be brutal wasn’t lying. We saw that in the first round of the 2024 U.S. Open on Thursday, with some golf balls that looked pretty good … until the hard, fast greens chewed them up and spit them out. That happened…
[ad_1] A familiar voice rang out as Jack and Barbara Nicklaus wheeled their golf cart past the 17th tee Wednesday at Muirfield Village Golf Club. “Love No. 16,” Matt Kuchar yelled from No. 17 tee. Nicklaus waved thanks and kept driving, presumably satisfied that at least one PGA Tour player was giving his redesign of…
[ad_1] It’s easy enough to imagine an Open Championship host course as a hoity-toity place for the average golfer. You might think of the grand clubhouses that overlook the 18th greens and assume they are full of stuffy members looking down on the action (and maybe those of us stood outside too). A venture to…
[ad_1] COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jack Nicklaus got the message loud and clear.

[ad_1] The R&A announced a multi-year agreement Monday that will see NetJets become the official private jet provider for The Open. Golf’s oldest and perhaps most cherished major is big business. And it’s getting bigger. The last time The Open was at Royal Troon in 2016, a total of 173,000 spectators watched golfing affairs unravel….
[ad_1] Golf course architect Pete Dye probably didn’t envision anyone driving the par-4 13th hole when he designed TPC Louisiana with a back tee at nearly 400 yards long. But no one told Ryan Brehm, who flirted with the second ace in PGA Tour history on a par 4. (Andrew Magee at the 17th at…
[ad_1] This is an interesting golfing dilemma, with a video showing a ball that has been embedded in the ground into the lip of the cup. There is a rule that goes part way to addresssing this, but it is unclear from the video whether the ball is resting against the flagstick. That is golf’s…
[ad_1] A year ago, LIV Golf Adelaide was considered the upstart circuit’s largest and most successful event as thousands of golf fans flocked to a party hole with a DJ, and the team competition came down to the wire.
