RSM Classic picks 2023: Is Billy Horschel all the way back? - GolfDigest.com

While we still have Tiger Woods’ annual Hero World Challenge in early December, this week’s RSM Classic marks the official end of pro golf in 2023. After this week, we won’t see the PGA Tour again until Kapalua. In other words, it’s our last chance to dance. We head to Sea Island, where longshots have historically fared well and things almost always get wacky late on Sunday. In the 13-year history of this event there have been six playoffs, and three other times it’s been decided by one stroke.…

Comedian tackles protestor on first tee at Netflix Cup, in case you...

From the few clips we’ve seen of the Netflix Cup on social media (likely the entire point of the event: viral clips), it appeared to be an utterly chaotic mess that had Ben Hogan rolling over in his grave. And the absurdity began long before a shot was even struck by any of the competitors. RELATED: DP World Tour pro pulls off all-time recovery shot from the middle of a lake That’s the beauty of live sports, though. Anything could happen at any moment, including a protestor running onto the firs…

It was right around this time last year that the PGA Tour announced a new and improved PGA Tour app, in addition to a website overhaul, was coming. There were promises of faster loading speeds, more video and imagery and an overall cleaner look. It’s safe to say the tour delivered on all of those fronts, despite what the naysayers will have you believe.

This week’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship serves as a great test - just how much do you enjoy betting on golf? Because you have to really, really enjoy it to wager real American money on it this week. Of course, others would argue this is the perfect opportunity to win some serious cash. This event has been very kind to longshots, historically, and there are plenty of good ones to choose from at Port Royal. Scroll down to see who we like this week at the 2023 Butterfield Bermuda Championship.…

When Colson Brown throws his first touchdown pass at Georgia Tech, it will undoubtedly be a special moment in his college sports career. Yet it still may not replace the highlight of his college sports career, which came last week on the golf course. RELATED: Tour pro ‘not sure where to start’ in criticism of golf course designed by Tiger Woods No, Brown is not a two-sport athlete, though the freshman quarterback at Georgia Tech acted as one for two days last Monday and Tuesday at Cypress Point…

Freshman quarterback to play for Georgia Tech golf team at Cypress ...

There is living your best life, and then there is what Georgia Tech freshman quarterback Colson Brown is doing on Monday (HINT: it has nothing to do with football). Brown is in California, which seems odd given the Yellow Jackets are due to play the University of Virginia this coming Saturday in Charlottesville. But that’s because he’s doing double duty this week. On Monday, Brown is joining the Georgia Tech men’s golf team, which has two separate events it is competing in. One is the East Lake…

D.J. TRAHAN IS WEEPING THROUGH the phone, overcome with so much joy that the tears are pouring out, and he doesn’t resist. The two-time PGA Tour winner, once known as a golfer who could run hot, has never been more at peace. Golf no longer defines who he is, a refrain among pros who have gone through every up and down and have decided to accept the fact that the party is winding down. Trahan, 42, credits plant medicine for his improved mental health, especially ayahuasca. This is normally the po…

Based off of everything we’ve seen, heard and are still learning about Collin Morikawa, it’s clear that this is a 26-year-old who is wise beyond his years. Never forget, this is a guy who, after winning his first major at the 2020 PGA Championship, gave all the credit to his then girlfriend and now wife Katherine Zhu. He’s no dummy.

You know those moments during a golf broadcast when you hear a player-caddie conversation, and the player is in search of an “exact” number? You’ve probably rolled your eyes in one of those moments, and maybe even said something along the lines of “just hit it, dude.” In reality, these guys are so good that they can hit it that exact number, which is why they make sure they get it before hitting.

Zozo Championship picks 2023: Why Xander Schauffele will silence th...

After an ugly performance in Rome, not to mention some ugly rumors, you’d think nobody would touch Xander Schauffele with a 10-foot pole this week at the Zozo Championship. You’d be mistaken. A few of our experts are betting on a big Xander bounce back, something he is in desperate need of. Despite another solid season on tour, Schauffele has now gone over 15 months without a victory. It’s about that time for the X-man, isn’t it? Scroll down to see who we like this week at the 2023 ZOZO Champion…

As many sushi lovers can attest, watching the famous 2011 “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” documentary was a painful ordeal. Not because it’s bad (it’s incredible), but because the entire time all you can think about is how badly you’d like to try a piece of Jiro Ono’s hand-crafted sushi, knowing full well you’ll likely never get the chance.
