A casual "day off" for prime Tiger Woods. ⛳

According to Hank Haney, a non-tournament day looked like this: 5:30 AM wake-up followed by over two hours of cardio and weights.

Five hours of range, short game, sand, and putting practice.
Two separate 9-hole rounds at 11:30 AM and 3:00 PM.

A second weightlifting session at 5:30 PM before dinner at 7:00 PM. All done in heavy rain and cold unless there was lightning.

Team Young is officially locked in for December. ⛳

2026 Players Champion Cameron Young will make his PNC Championship debut alongside his father, David, from December 17-20.

The resume for this father-son pairing is serious business:
Cam: 2026 Players Champion and two-time tour winner this season.
David: Former Sleepy Hollow Head Pro and Cam's lifelong swing instructor.

With Brooks Koepka, Nelly Korda, and Bernhard Langer also in the mix, December's family scramble is stacked.

The ultimate brotherly ultimatum at the Mexico Open. ⛳

Wyndham Clark's regular caddie is in Italy for a wedding.
His brother Brendan threatened to revoke Wyndham's wedding invite unless he got the bag this week.

Now the World #5 is hunting his 4th win of 2026 to fund Brendan's wedding and honeymoon.

At $1,401.60 on a $100 Polymarket play, the tournament favorite has plenty of motivation to go low in Vallarta

Two minutes of respect is not that hard. ⛳

Places to practice your golf swing:
The driving range.
Your living room mirror.

The first tee box.Places not to practice your golf swing:
The middle of the court during the National Anthem.

LeBron James decided pregame air swings were more important than standing at attention, and President Trump absolutely torched him for it.

Was Trump spot-on with this roast? Drop a YES or NO below. 👇

Firmer than St Andrews in 2022 is an insane stat. ⛳

The R&A setup for the 2026 Asia-Pacific Amateur at Te Arai Links sounds diabolical: Potentially the firmest championship turf in R&A history.

Heavy New Zealand winds.

Greens slowed down just to keep balls on the putting surface.
Zack Swanwick testing 3-wood chips off the slopes in practice.

A spot in the 2027 Masters and The Open is on the line, and the golf course is the ultimate star this week.

The fairway divot rule is the dumbest thing in golf.

You shouldn't be punished for hitting the center of the fairway. You shouldn't lose a stroke because the group ahead of you was too lazy to use the sand bottle. You shouldn't have to gouge an iron out of a hole after a pure tee shot.

The USGA still refuses to treat a divot as ground under repair. Even tour pros like Nelly Korda are tired of getting robbed by bad breaks in the middle of the short grass.

Sign the executive order and make the free fairway drop official everywhere.

Should the USGA finally allow free relief from fairway divots, or does that open the door to cheating?

Driving the green on #10 at Riviera is an elite flex. ⛳

Owen Wilson just proved he is one of us ahead of "Stick" Season 2: Lost his swing for an entire month.

Caught a heater and drove the iconic 10th green at Riviera.
Missed the 12-foot putt for his first career eagle.

Settled for a tap-in birdie and told everyone about it anyway.

Even Hollywood's biggest golf star isn't safe from leaving an eagle putt on the lip.

Where does the 10th at Riviera rank among the best short par 4s in the world?

Traditional network TV cannot compete with the Internet Invitational.

Look at what happened in just the first episode with $4 million on the line.

You don't get stiff commentary. You don't get country club gatekeeping. You don't get robotic press conferences.

Instead, you get Luke Kwon camping on the first green for ultimate redemption. You get Bobby Ray ready to throw hands over a shoe joke from Short Game King.

Then you get Claire Hogle and Sam Heung Min having the most awkwardly hilarious golf cart conversation on camera right before an eagle putt drops.

Is the Internet Invitational officially more entertaining than regular tour events?

Look at the roster left standing beside Bryson DeChambeau.

Brooks is gone. Rahm is out.Now look at the confirmed names committed alongside Bryson for next season: Richard Bland, Cameron Tringale, Ben Campbell, and Brendan Steele.

With all due respect to those pros, that is not a heavyweight rival tour. That is a one-man show carried by a single superstar in a Crushers GC polo.

Bryson is arguably the biggest draw in the sport right now.

Watching him spend his prime without elite weekly competition is tough to stomach.

Be honest: will you actually be watching LIV next year with this lineup, or should Bryson come back to the PGA Tour?
