Four risks to golf's momentum

2 days ago | golfdigest.com | Jerry Tarde

A popular Irish golfer—who has flip-flopped so many times I’m not sure where he stands now—spoke the unvarnished truth when he said he used to be opposed to the PGA Tour partnering with LIV, but looked at how much money he made last year, and, well, you know, it’s all good. The game's ongoing success has four risks and that's one of them. We're all sick of pro golf's infatuation with money and inability to bring the top players back together.
Before Sunday’s playoff, Justin Thomas told his caddie a heck of a story about the only other time he played with Andrew Novak

After nearly three years lost in the pool-noodle forest, Justin Thomas has finally found his way to the other side. On Sunday, the two-time Wanamaker winner defeated Andrew Novak in a playoff at the RBC Heritage to claim his first PGA Tour title since the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Thomas knew it wasn’t going to come easy, however.
Analyzing the last three years of Callaway drivers with a swing robot

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Jonathan Wall

We receive a lot of questions about the latest gear in the marketplace. Most of them center around one specific question: "Should I switch out my current gamer for a [fill in the blank] driver?" Understanding how the technology housed inside the head can benefit your game is important, but golfers want to see real numbers. The best way to do this is to go test them yourself. Of course, it'd be nice if you had a cheatsheet of sorts that let you know which drivers were worth testing or avoiding.
Can TaylorMade's Qi35 'core' driver top last year's Qi10? We let a robot decide

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Jonathan Wall

A robot can't swing the golf club for you, but it can give you a good idea of how a driver performs against the competition. In a new equipment series from Golf Digest, we tested the latest drivers from every major manufacturer on the Golf Laboratories swing robot to determine if they were noticeably better than their predecessors. The testing process is identical for each driver: we use the same 95 mph swing speed, attack angle and shaft (Fujikura Ventus VeloCore+) for every model.

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Coleman Bentley

The PGA Tour officially closes the book on the 2025 Masters on Thursday at the RBC Heritage, but the reverberations of Rory McIlroy’s career-Grand-Slam-clinching victory continue to reverberate across the world. Nowhere more so than the United Kingdom, where McIlroy’s triumph was honored on each and every piece of mail sent between Tuesday and Thursday. Check it out.
Who is the next golfer to pull off the career Grand Slam, and how long will it be until it happens?

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Greg Gottfried

The first time someone completed what we call golf’s modern career Grand Slam was 1935, although nobody knew it then. That’s when Gene Sarazen won the Augusta National Invitation Tournament … which eventually became known as the Masters … which eventually gained status as one of the four men’s professional majors. Since then, five other golfers have won all four men’s majors —Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, Open Championship.
PGA Tour player suspended for participating in LIV Golf influencer event

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Joel Beall

The PGA Tour has suspended Wesley Bryan for participating in a LIV Golf influencer event. Ryan French of Monday Q was the first to report the story. Bryan, 35, has made 134 starts on the PGA Tour, and won the 2017 RBC Heritage. However, since his rookie season, Bryan has not finished better than 156th in the FedEx Cup as he’s battled injury and the yips with his driver. He has played in three events in 2025, his last event coming in March’s Puerto Rico Classic, but does not have a tour card.

How Carry Golf is helping tour pros where they need it most-and you can help, too

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Alex Myers

The 2020 Scottsdale Open won’t be remembered by too many golf fans, but it holds a unique place in the game’s history. Contested two months after the PGA Tour canceled the Players Championship after the first round to join the rest of the sports world shutting down for COVID, it was one of the first sporting events played during the pandemic. Suddenly, this mini-tour stop felt like a big-time tournament, even drawing PGA Tour pros like Joel Dahmen, Kevin Streelman, Nate Lashley and Colt Knost.
LIV pro shoots 65 only to get completely dusted by Jon Rahm's 59 (!) at Whisper Rock

1 week ago | golfdigest.com | Alex Myers

A T-14 at the Masters certainly wasn't Jon Rahm's best effort at Augusta National given that he slipped on the green jacket in 2023. But a Sunday 69 to move up the leaderboard may have indicated the Spaniard might be rounding back into top form. And a couple days later, one of his fellow LIV golfers and countrymen found out the hard way that's the case. David Puig shared Tuesday on Instagram that he shot a 65 at vaunted Whisper Rock. Not too shabby, right?
