For as good as Day, McIlroy, Spieth and the other top players currently in the game are, the namesake of this week’s tournament will always be remembered for accomplishing a feat that will almost certainly never be even approached, let alone repeated, in professional golf. In 1945, Mr. Byron Nelson won 11 straight professio

One of the best stages in golf, the most famous par 3 in the game, and a finishing hole where anything can happen. Open to the top-50 players in the world, TPC Sawgrass plays like a major championship. In the past 10 years of this tournament, we have seen champions such as Fred Funk (2005), Stephen Ames (2006) and Tim Clark (2010), revealing that in order to succeed in this tourname

Always drawing many of the game’s top players, Quail Hollow Club accurately describes the event as follows: Quail Hollow Club hosts the PGA TOUR in Charlotte, North Carolina each year during the first week in May. The Wells Fargo Championship is one of the largest, most presti

Sometimes we forget just how difficult this game really is. We get accustomed to seeing names like Day, Fowler, Spieth & McIlroy toward the top of leaderboards, and as such it can give the impression that the game is somewhat “routine”. Nothing could be further from the truth. While the players aforementioned are incredible talents, they compete every week against a plethora of players with world-class talent themselves. One such example is last week’s champion, Charley Hoffm

Last week, players battled Harbour Town Golf Links - a track that can certainly bite, and do so quickly. Come Thursday, they will have to battle another true test of ball-striking, with TPC San Antonio, as the Tour makes its way back to Texas for the Valero Texas Open. Known for deep bunkers, and tight fairways, here is how TPC San Antonio describes its Oaks tournament course: The

Photo Credit: Getty Images It may be the week after the Masters, but by no means does that mean we are in for a week of boring play. Just like Augusta provides golfers with a unique playing experience, so too does Harbour Town Golf Links. Not an overly long course, a premium is put on hitting fairways. The tight layout makes it very difficult to score from anywhere outside of the short grass. Last year’s champion, Jim Furyk, will not defend his title, as he is still recoverin

Photo Credit: Getty Images It has arrived….Masters week! Personally, this is my favorite event in all of sports. I love the stage and the history - all of which leads to an incredibly memorable week, each and every year. There are always specific storylines for fans to follow once play begins Thursday morning, but the 2016 Masters will have more than usual. Jason Day is currently number one in the world, and is coming to Augusta for the first time with a major championship un

The Shell Houston Open is always an exciting week - but for unique reasons. It leads to the year’s first major, and one of the most prestigious events in all of sport. Some players choose to rest before Augusta, while many others prefer to tee it up and compete. For those who do participate this week, we will watch intently as we seek to get a glimpse of what to expect heading into what always goes down as a historic week. Last year at this event, J.B. Holmes took home the ha

Welcome to the World Golf Championships-Dell Match Play, y’all! The annual tournament boasting 64 of the world’s best golfers has a new home at Austin Country Club in Texas. So, if things get weird, it’ll make sense in the backyard of progressive culture and vibrant nightlife. Austin is also the hometown and serves as the headquarters for the new title sponsor. The tournament will be at ACC and sponsored by Dell for at least four years, so what is new to most in this week’s f

As 64 of the top players in the world head to Texas for the World Match Play Championships, the rest of the PGA Tour will journey to Puerto Rico for the annual event at Coco Beach Golf & CC. Many remember this event being held at one of Donald Trump’s namesakes, but the course was forced to change its name to Coco Beach after the licensing fees to use the Trump title became too costly. This tournament provides a wonderful opportunity for both the players, and fans. With so ma
