Woods hasn’t played competitive golf since August 2015, and since then he’s undergone two surgeries. He ended months of (mostly idle) speculation the Friday before the Masters by declining to […]

January 21, 2016 by
CIMB Classic winner Justin Thomas caught a lot of flak two weeks ago when he told Golf Channel, without hesitation, that he’d prefer being on a winning 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup team to winning a major this year. On Wednesday in Abu Dhabi, Jordan Spieth elevated the biennial match to a similar level. “[The Ryder […]
Dustin Johnson seemed to get over his U.S. Open loss very quickly
January 2, 2016 by
One putt. Two putts. Three putts. Just like that, the U.S. Open had slipped away from Dustin Johnson and into the hands of Jordan Spieth. Johnson reached the par-5 — that day, at least — 18th hole at Chambers Bay outside of Tacoma, Wash., in two. He was 8 feet or so away from a […]

Golf club’s ‘$9.11 for 9 holes on 9/11′ promo goes so very, very wrong
September 11, 2013 by
Oh no. Oh, this is so very, very bad. In an unfortunate attempt to “honor” 9/11, the Tumbledown Trails Golf Course in Wisconsin crafted the above advertisement. As you can imagine, it wasn’t received very well. And you thought Golf Channel’s unfortunate tweet about Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream was bad. Deadspin put together a […]
Nicholas Thompson’s astonishing water save could have gone so very wrong, but goes right
March 23, 2013 by
There’s nothing better than trying something ridiculously stupid and pulling it off to perfection, is there?

Thompson’s shot from […]
