4 days ago | golfdigest.com | Christopher Powers

Jason Day has been battling the injury bug for most of his career, even as a young player. But now he's 37, a wily PGA Tour veteran by today's standards, making him even more susceptible to the odd bump or bruise, including ones that occur off the golf course.

'Don't be fooled, kid': Ted Scott has all-time response to fan on Muirfield Village range

In the least surprising news of this PGA Tour season, Scottie Scheffler carded a bogey-free 68 on Saturday at Muirfield Village that featured four birdies over the last five holes. The unconscious finish put him at eight under and gave him the solo 54-hole lead at the Memorial Tournament. Same old, same old.
Ben Griffin's explanation for why he wears sunglasses sounds kind of scary

6 days ago | golfdigest.com | Christopher Powers

Take a scroll on Golf Twitter when Ben Griffin is near the top of the leader board and you'll inevitably see someone poke fun at his look, the look being Griffin's gigantic Aviator sunglasses. It's a look normally reserved for a movie star, not a slender 6-foot-1 PGA Tour pro who used to be a mortgage loan officer.
Shane Lowry 'walked in' after five holes in his first-ever round at Oakmont

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Christopher Powers

As we all know, golf is a very strange game. Just when you think you're about to play well, you throw up a stinker. And on days when you think you just aren't going to have it, you throw up a career round. Maddening would be the appropriate word to describe these experiences. Shane Lowry had to be feeling somewhat good about his game heading into the 2016 U.S. Open at Oakmont.

Unless you were living under a rock, you probably saw and heard that Baseball Hall-of-Famer Ken Griffey Jr. is now a photographer. In his first ever trip to the Masters this past April, he captured one of the lasting images of the week, Rory McIlroy down on his knees with his head in his hands on the 18th green at Augusta National. Augusta National That's right, folks, that's a Ken Griffey Jr. joint. Not bad for your first foray into photography at the Masters.
Memorial Tournament picks 2025: It's time for Tommy Fleetwood to get it done

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Christopher Powers

After a down week for Scottie Scheffler, the books have adjusted in a massive way. Just kidding. Coming off yet another top five at Colonial, Scheffler is still an enormous favorite at +280 to win the Memorial Tournament. Scheffler is the defending champion at Jack's Place, and he seems primed to become the first player to go back to back at Muirfield Village since Tiger Woods in 2000 and 2001. It is a Signature Event, so Scheffler will have plenty of challengers, but he won't make it easy.
This Charlie Woods scorecard from an AJGA event at Streamsong is outrageous

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Christopher Powers

After one round of the AJGA's Team Taylormade Invitational at Streamsong Black, Charlie Woods sits in a tie for 13th out of 71 players. And yet, it would be hard to find a scorecard more impressive from any of the 12 players ahead of Woods on the leader board.

Ben Griffin puts on Twitter Masterclass on Memorial Day following Colonial win

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Christopher Powers

It's a weekly tradition during a Ryder Cup year - literally just saying "[insert recent PGA Tour winner] . . . Ryder Cup?" In other words, inserting any player with a pulse into the American or European lineup nearly five months before the event at Bethpage Black. The latest player to thrust himself into that mix is Ben Griffin, who just picked up his second PGA Tour victory and his first invididual PGA Tour win at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial.
