This is the story of how determination and passion for the game led him from the local courts to the bright lights of the NBA. Podz first picked up a basketball at the age of 10. Growing up in a small town, he was instantly captivated by the sport. The sound…

With the 2024 season coming to an end, Jay Monahan will address the media. This is often regarded as the State of the Tour Speech by many, where he discusses various topics about professional golf. Xander Schauffele, who enters the Tour Championship in the second position in the standings, is not worried about it. Stating that he has paid no attention to it throughout the season, the 2X Major Champion said, “I’ve been a little busy with my own — with my head in the sand, as I said earlier this year or last year or whatever.” He has been putting his focus…

The golf world’s eye has always been focused on how the only son of the legendary pro, Tiger Woods, plays out as a golfer. Thus, the pressure has always followed Charlie Woods as a large number of galleries watch his every move. On top of that, the 15-year-old’s performance in the 2024 season has been anything but forgetful. He missed the qualifying cuts for the Cognizant Classic and US Open just a few months ago. And the criticism was always there. But everything got bigger than Woods. Jr. made his USGA debut at the US Junior Amateur, the tournament his father has…

What are the odds of Scottie Scheffler winning the Tour Championship? Bookmakers say it’s +110. But if you look at past records, FedEx Cup leaders have rarely maintained their best form at the Tour Championship. Golf Channel pundit Brandel Chamblee dug up some interesting statistics to put the Tour Championship into perspective. Per Chamblee, Tiger Woods is the only FedEx Cup leader who has shot the lowest score in the Tour Championship. That too in its first edition in 2007, when he carded 23-under. Indeed, two years later, Woods came up three strokes short of Tour Championship winner, Phil Mickelson. Although Woods bagged the FedEx Cup…

Anyone who knows Tiger Woods also knows how dominant he used to be on the greens. Despite enduring multiple injuries and undergoing several surgeries from 1994 to 2023, Woods has 82 PGA Tour and 15 major wins to his name. Almost every victory of the GOAT comes with a story, but who would have thought the anecdote of the 2018 TOUR Championship would be a heart-wrenching one? Woods won the event beautifully and was taken aback by the love he received for his 80th win from fans on the course. But after securing the victory, he shared the challenges he faced throughout the tournament,…

Bryson DeChambeau won his second major title as he outlasted Rory McIlroy at Pinehurst No. 2 to clinch the US Open title, but he suggested there was more at stake than that Bryson DeChambeau has referred to his US Open triumph over Rory McIlroy as much a “battle” between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour as it was a contest between the golfers themselves. Following McIlroy’s stumble, which saw him drop his third shot in four holes, DeChambeau found an opportunity with just needing a par on the final hole to clinch his second major title. Despite grappling with his driver, he veered left into the rough off the tee but managed…

Tiger Woods is without dispute one of the most well-known and accomplished athletes in history. His talent has won him fame on and off the golf course, and a current net worth of over $1 billion. Looking at his career over the past 30 years shows how his wealth has grown exponentially, and will likely continue to do so long after he retires through sponsors and endorsements. If you’re a business owner, maybe you’ll consider sponsoring a young athlete who could be the next Tiger Woods. 24/7 Wall St. Insights Tiger Woods earned only a portion of his wealth in prize money from…

Rory McIlroy is the clear front-runner to win a sixth Race to Dubai title, which would put him two off record holder Colin Montgomerie, who has backed the Northern Irishman to surpass him Long-standing European Race to Dubai record holder Colin Montgomerie has told Rory McIlroy that he’s the only golfer who’s in a strong position to break his record. McIlroy, 35, a four-time major winner, has five Race to Dubai titles, and he’ll chase a sixth this year. Victory would push McIlroy two behind eight-time winner Montgomerie, who set the record in 2005. Montgomerie won seven in a row between…

The 48-year-old has only made the cut once…

Despite an illustrious career in golf which many pro players can only dream of, Tiger Woods admitted he has one regret about his journey in particular. Tiger is one of golf’s all-time greats (Image: Getty) Tiger Woods claimed he has just one regret in his life. From a prestigious 28-year pro golf career, the 48-year-old Californian has racked up almost every accolade since turning pro back in 1996 at the tender age of 20, winning 15 majors and 82 PGA Tour events. And despite becoming the world’s youngest-ever Masters winner in 1997 after outperforming the likes of Tom Kite, Tommy Tolles and Tom Watson with…

Around last February’s trade deadline, with the Lakers and Warriors both unimpressively fighting for a spot at the bottom of the play-in, rumors of the Warriors trying to trade for LeBron James to pair with Stephen Curry bubbled up. However, they never really gained any traction, they never felt all that serious. That’s because LeBron’s agent Rich Paul quashed them, reports Marc Stein in his latest Substack newsletter. It is believed that the Lakers would have reluctantly entertained trade conversations with the Warriors before last February’s trade deadline if James wanted them to seriously engage Golden State on a potential deal.…

A lot of people have been hopeful for the coming together of the golf world through the $3 billion merger. The PIF-PGA Tour merger has been fraught with constant delays and numerous hindrances. However, they have other bad news in store for them. A few weeks ago, Jay Monahan shared the official PGA Tour 2025 season schedule. While this raised a lot of questions, the Tour commissioner was asked if the release of the schedule meant ‘there’s not going to be anything with LIV, at least through next year or 2026, or 2027?’ He pretty much bluntly replied, “I think that’s fair.” With the…

Tiger Woods (L) and Martina Hingis Martina Hingis once voiced her displeasure with being compared to Tiger Woods. She said the comparison annoyed her and that she believed she was better than the legendary American golfer. Hingis is widely regarded as one of the greatest talents ever seen in tennis. She was the first Swiss player, male or female, to win a Grand Slam, amassing five such titles in total. She also held the top spot in the WTA Rankings for an impressive 209 weeks. As a young prodigy, Hingis was often compared to Woods, who also achieved early dominance in…

The Tiger Woods and Nike breakup was the pinnacle of the 2024 season as more than two decades of partnership ended. Nike wished the best for the 15-time major championship, and Mr. T promised an apparel line of his own. He also introduced the newer era of Tiger Woods clothes in the name of Sun Day Red. However, SDR clothes were missing the iconic TW logo, which has been a symbol for Woods’s fanbase per se. During the press conference of the Genesis Invitational which was the first competitive event of Woods after the 2023 Masters, the 48-year-old was asked about the…

Tensions boiled over for Rory McIlroy who, in a rare moment, lost his coool and tossed his driver into the nearby water after his tee shot went wide right at the BMW Championship In a rare showing of frustration, Rory McIlroy launched his driver into the nearby water after hitting his tee shot wide right on the 17th at the BMW Championship. The Ulsterman doesn’t often get frustrated but had clearly seen enough when the cries of ‘fore-right’ were yelled behind him. Seeing the ball drift off the right to the rough, McIlroy took his club down and swung it at waist…

Stephen Curry’s 36-point performance to seal the gold medal for the United States was a classic game a part of Curry’s illustrious basketball career. The fourth-quarter three-point barrage to lift the U.S. over France in the closing minutes was arguably the most iconic stretch of basketball on the international level to capture Curry’s first-ever gold medal. However, the locker room celebration would be halted because of a drug test for Curry and some of his teammates. During an appearance on The Boardroom at Fanatics Fest, Anthony Edwards revealed that the celebration was delayed due to Curry as well as himself,…

Paint is sooooo 2023. Art in 2024 is all about thousands of tiny pieces of wood. Just ask Kansas City based artist Aaron Norris. Norris graced these pages last year when he completed a portrait of Tiger Woods made entirely out of golf tees. We didn’t think he could top that feat, but that was before we saw his latest Tiger tribute, crafted from 30,000 tiny blocks of wood. Feast your eyes. Norris’ previous piece used 25,000 tees to illustrate peak Tiger on the prowl, but he went even bigger this time around, setting his sights on a blank 4’…

You might know Steve Williams as a former caddie for Tiger Woods. He was on Woods’s bag from 1999 to 2011. During their time together, Woods won 63 PGA Tour events and 13 major championships. Despite the success, Williams wasn’t treated well. We are not saying this, as Williams himself did in his book. The tale of his firing conveys a similar sentiment. However, even before 1999, Williams had a similar unfortunate experience with Greg Norman. Williams became bagman for Norman back in 1982 while he was competing in Asia and Australia, as well as PGA Tour events. One might think a caddie and a…
