Mizuno has always been an industry juggernaut when it came to forged irons, being the popular choice among the game’s best players without an equipment endorsement. But they never could quite make any noise with their metal woods. The ST-200 series dipped their toes in the water of having a driver that could compete with...
Without the staggered start of the leaderboard, Kevin Na and Jon Rahm actually beat Patrick Cantlay this past weekend at East Lake. But due to the wonderful season Cantlay had, especially the last few weeks, he was crowned the Tour Championship winner and FedEx Cup champ. Cantlay began the event as the leader at -10....
The Ryder Cup is not just my favorite golf event but it may be my favorite event in all of sports. I have been quite vocal over the years and in past writings of just how inspirational the 99 installment was to my life and career. With the exception of that amazing comeback in Brookline,...
Distance off the tee has been a great equalizer since golf’s inception. Modern golf courses are long and the classic courses are getting longer (you can almost hear the golf purists weep as you read that sentence).

Annika Sorenstam returned to the game she dominated for so many years, and dominated yet again. She cleared the field by 8 strokes at Brooklawn Country Club and won her first major in 15 years,...
Sadly, Jon Rahm has been more attached to Covid than Dr. Faucci the last few months. Rahm was forced to withdraw from the Memorial as the leader after a positive test back in May. He then got vaccinated, came out of quarantine, and won the US Open at his home away from home – Torrey...
This week the Open Championship returns to Royal St. George’s for the first time since 2011 where Darren Clarke was victorious. When it was held at the Sandwich, England links track in 2003, the 396th ranked player in the world claimed the Claret Jug. He was a 500 – 1 long shot. It was his...
