No matter what you think of Bubba Watson, his style of golf is undoubtedly exciting — especially at its best. Watson needed his best on the final shot of regulation at the WGC-HSBC Champions, shocking everyone when he holed out a bunker shot at the par-5 finisher for a playoff-forcing eagle. In the ensuing extra […]
Patrick Reed uses gay slur while chastising self at WGC-HSBC Champions
Patrick Reed will be fined by the PGA Tour for “conduct unbecoming of a professional” for using a gay slur to chastise himself after missing a putt in the opening round of the WGC-HSBC Champions. Reed missed his par putt on the first hole at Sheshan International (his 10th of the round), and then vented […]
Dustin Johnson will not defend WGC-HSBC Champions crown
Dustin Johnson’s leave of absence from the PGA Tour will not end next week in China. Per his agent, Johnson will not defend his title at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai. Johnson has been on a leave of absence from the PGA Tour since July 31, saying he was taking time off to address “personal problems.” […]
Kevin Sutherland becomes the first Champions Tour player to ever shoot 59
The Champions Tour is named “champions” for a reason. So many legends turn 50 and take their talents to a completely different tour, going up against huge names in golf that can still really, really golf their ball. But unlike the PGA Tour, nobody had ever broke 60 until Saturday on the Champions Tour. While […]
Charl Schwartzel hits one of the most amazing shots you’ll ever see at the Volvo Golf Champions
We are just 12 days into 2014 and if some of the golf shots we’ve already seen are a preview of the season to come, expect a year of the unthinkable from the pros. On Friday we saw two players make an albatross at different events, but Charl Schwartzel might have topped them with this […]
Joost Luiten makes rare albatross at Volvo Golf Champions
The shot in golf that is most talked about is the hole-in-one. It’s the question you get from your random aunt that has never picked up a golf club and the shot that makes the local newspaper if you happen to be the lucky one to write down “1” on your scorecard, but it isn’t […]
It’s HSBC Champions week, which means we get more of these incredible photos
This week marks the start of the WGC-HSBC Champions event in China, one of the biggest events of the offseason and one that brings a lot of the big names to another side of the world. Oh, and we get these pictures. We love these pictures. In the past we’ve seen Tiger Woods and Phil […]
Check out the best shots of the week from the WGC-HSBC Champions in China
This past weekend marked the last World Golf Championships event of 2013, but that didn’t stop a ton of big names from giving it a go and making it as entertaining an event as we’ve had since the PGA Championship. Dustin Johnson went on to win thanks to an incredible back nine on Sunday at […]
Rory McIlroy is leading the HSBC Champions thanks to an opening 7-under 65
To say that 2013 has been a disappointment for Rory McIlroy would be an incredible understatement. The former No. 1 player in the world not only failed to win a major for a third straight season, but didn’t win a single golf tournament all season, struggling in the majors and looking confused by his golf […]
The guy that ended up penalizing Tiger Woods at the Masters was a Champions Tour player
Of the tens of millions of people that tune in each day to the Masters, one person called in on Tiger Woods during his second round at Augusta National to report a penalty. Rumors flew around of who it might have been, even landing on the ex-husband of Tiger’s current lady, Lindsey Vonn. So who […]
