The Deutsche Bank Championship is always a fun week on the PGA Tour. The Friday start is a bit different, as is the Monday finish, and the tournament has been an important part of the FedEx Cup since it all began in 2007. As we get set for the second leg of the 2014 playoffs, […]
Check out the top-10 best shots ever from the FedEx Cup playoffs
August 24, 2014 by
It’s crazy to think the FedEx Cup playoffs are now in their eighth year, providing us a lot of different champions over the years and even more incredible golf shots. We all remember what Bill Haas did back in 2011, but you forget about that closing birdie by Jim Furyk when he joined the 59 […]
The five best golf shots ever hit by a left-hander
August 16, 2014 by
August 13 is the one day a year where being left-handed is celebrated. As a southpaw myself, I tend to celebrate this holiday much like right-handers celebrate all the other days, getting any and all golf clubs they want, never having to use awkward scissors and never having ink covering the bottom of their palm. […]
Even without his best stuff, Rory McIlroy is in a position to snag a second straight major championship
August 10, 2014 by
Rory McIlroy doesn’t usually have to deal with this stuff. Normally when he wins a major he grabs the lead, runs away from his competitors and cruises to victory. Even last month at the British Open it never seemed like McIlroy would actually lose the lead he built the first three days, and despite “only” […]

Lexi Thompson’s caddie may have had the best Poppie’s Pond jump ever
April 7, 2014 by
We know a ton of the traditions of the Masters, but no celebration is as famous in the golf world as the jump into Poppie’s Pond. The winner of the Kraft Nabisco Championship always takes a leap into the water just to right of the 18th green with friends, family and their caddie as a […]

What more can I say about the above picture? That is Chesson Hadley, fresh off his first ever PGA Tour win this weekend at the Puerto Rico Open thanks to a closing 5-under 67, and he’s hanging with wife Amanda and son Hughes, who might win the award for cutest kid in golf. Hadley decided […]
Looking back on the best long putts in the history of golf
March 4, 2014 by
On Sunday at the HSBC Women’s Championship, Paula Creamer made one of the most incredible putts we’ve ever seen, holing a 75-foot eagle putt on her second playoff hole to win her first event since 2010. It was the type of putt even a professional would hope to just get close, but it was a […]
