With the final Major Championship of the season officially in the rearview, the eyes and minds of the PGA Tour officially turn to the stretch run for the FedEx Cup. Two points-paying events remain in the regular season, and with only the top 70 in the season-long standings eligible for an invitation to Memphis, the […]

reThe final Major Championship of the year is upon us -- and according to many in the architecture world, we may have just saved the best for last. Royal Portrush: the only Irish representative in the Open rota, certainly helps the Emerald Isle live up to its namesake. Carved into a windswept stretch of the […]

As the road to the year's final Major Championship winds down, the PGA Tour makes its fourth annual pilgrimage to the home of golf (or at least 20 miles south of it across the Firth of Fourth). Scotland's national Open has been played at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick for the last six years, […]

For the third consecutive week on the PGA Tour, players will face a breakneck sprint to 20-under and beyond. Despite some less-than-stellar fields through the years, TPC Deere Run has spent each of the last eight seasons as one of the easiest 10 courses on the PGA Tour and is one of only three courses […]

As the year's third Major and final elevated event hits the rear view mirror on the PGA Tour, the next month for golf on U.S. soil will turn to the race for the FedEx Cup Playoffs. With only 70 spots up for grabs in Memphis this coming August, the focus for many of the year's […]

From Pinehurst to LACC, Brookline, and Winged Foot, golf fans have gotten more than their fair share of U.S. Open drama in the last five years. But in spite of these legendary backdrops, no other course in the rota better encapsulates the ethos of the United States Open than Oakmont. Designed in 1903 with the […]

If you're one of the many golf fans who enjoy watching some of the best players in the world hack it around like a weekend warrior, the month of June on the PGA Tour should be tailor-made for your suitabilities. Muirfield Village and Oakmont loom as two of the most challenging of a set of […]

At a venue that has become known for crowning breakout stars, there is perhaps no better marriage of course and tournament than Quail Hollow Club and the PGA Championship. From Rory McIlroy's scintillating six-under back-nine to capture his first PGA Title, to Rickie Fowler's clutch approach left of the pin on 18, and Justin Thomas's […]

Just four weeks have passed since Rory McIlroy produced one of the most magical moments in Masters' history, yet we once again stand on the precipice of a Major Championship. With our ordinary host of the Truist Championship gearing up for the 2025 PGA, a brand new venue has been introduced to contest the year's […]

After a one-week hiatus for my least favorite event of the season, we're back in full force for another one of my bottom three! Jokes aside, TPC Craig Ranch will take a lot of flack for its rather featureless layout, but for golf bettors, any course that has yielded three winners from above 80-1 on […]

Things continue to move at a breakneck pace on the PGA Tour, as just four days after crowning our first Major Champion of 2025, another $20 million is up for grabs in the sixth signature event of the year. The battleground on which this lavish prize pool will be contested is one of the most […]

As the frost recedes and Mother Earth slips into her favorite shade of green, 90 of the best golfers on the planet will play for the right to do the very same. It's Masters week: Christmas for those of us who obsess over this sport 365 days a year, and a sacred patronage for anyone […]

Although many of us in the golfing industry maligned the exclusion of Match Play in the current PGA rota, one tournament, in particular, has received a noticeable bump in star power, looking for one last competitive run before teeing it up in next week's Masters. Ordinarily considered a tame opening act for the year's first […]

After a couple of nail-biting final rounds in Orlando and Ponte Vedra, the PGA Tour travels to Florida's western coast for the final leg of the Sunshine Swing. There won't be any $20 million prize pools until the first Major Championship of the year one state North, but with 12 of the OWGR Top 30 […]

We've already crowned both Tiger Woods' annual champion at the Genesis and Arnold Palmer's at Bay Hill, but perhaps no other event on the PGA Tour comes with the cache of the PLAYERS. From Hal Sutton's memorable approach on 18 to take down Tiger, to Rickie Fowler's Sunday charge and Wyndham's heartbreaking lip-out last year, […]

After a stirring hors d'oeuvre in Palm Beach Gardens, the PGA Tour's Florida Swing moves quickly into the first of two upcoming main courses: the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge. "Major Championship Conditions" is a descriptor often overused in golf media, but with winning scores of (-15), (-9), (-5), (-11), and […]

Fresh off of the relaxing, jovial atmosphere of Mexico's National Open, the PGA Tour makes its maiden voyage into the Eastern timezone for the first of four consecutive events held in the Sunshine State. Unlike Vidanta Vallarta, however, the courses in the Florida rotation aren't exactly known for their forgiveness, as the next four weeks […]

The final stop of the West Coast swing brings us south of the border for the fourth iteration of Mexico's National Open as a part of the PGA Tour schedule. And rather befitting of the country it represents, this week's host venue profiles much more like a luxury resort built for double-digit handicaps than the […]

Despite being sandwiched between two "signature events" that have sapped a chunk of the typical star power from Scottsdale, The People's Open remains one of the most highly anticipated events on the entire golfing calendar. With its electric atmosphere, a risk/reward layout that ramps up leaderboard volatility, and propensity for Sunday drama, there isn't another […]

The greatest meeting of land and sea in American golf is always among the more iconic routings we visit on an annual basis, but in recent years, the lack of elite headliners and an insistence on highlighting the "Am" portion of the AT&T Pro-Am has made this event little more to golf fans than a […]

With two of the first three winners on the PGA Tour reaching final scores of 25-under-par, golf fans will be salivating at the prospect of a venue with the capability of sending golfers in both directions on the leaderboard. Enter Torrey Pines South: a golf course that has crowned two U.S. Open Champions since 2008 […]

2025 is finally here, and with it comes an abundance of dates to circle on our golfing calendars. From the Ryder Cup's return to U.S. soil to three historic Major Championship venues and a brand new rotation of “Signature Events,” which will continue to feature the best and brightest names the PGA Tour has to […]

After 11 months, 46 tournaments, and tens of thousands of words documenting my thoughts on golf courses from Tokyo to Paris, we've reached the end of the 2023 PGA campaign. We've had our fair share of triumph and heartbreak at Flag Hunting over the course of the season, but above all else, 2024 has once […]

After a four-leg tour from California wine country to the Deep South and the desert of America's southwest, the 2024 PGA Fall Swing has reached it's International stage: jumping from Chiba, Japan, to Los Cabos, Mexico, and Southampton, Bermuda in the space of three weeks. The ZOZO Championship is the youngest (and the last remaining), […]

The first two events of October have come and gone, and with them, we've crowned two maiden victors at golf's highest level. The first, Kevin Yu, has been a long-time breakout candidate on the lips of many golf touts, and last week, Matt McCarty continued what is one of the hottest runs going in the […]

After a sporadic September on the scheduling front, October brings with it the first signs of fall and a run of seven PGA Tour events in eight weeks! The start of our stretch run begins in Jackson, Mississippi for the Sanderson Farms Championship: an event that has seen its fair share of variety within its […]

Just two weeks after crowning our 2024 FedEx Cup Champion, the PGA Tour is back to start its race for the 2025 Season-Long title. The “Swing Season,” will be taking on a bit of a different role in 2024, as instead of being an optional, uncorrelated set of events for players to accrue FedEx Cup […]
