Freshman golfer J.R. Smith is seeking an NIL deal
The J.R. Smith undergrad Twitter chronicles have been a delightful highlight of the past few months. The 15-year NBA veteran was drafted straight out of high school in 2004, and after retiring from basketball, decided to get his degree at North Carolina A&T, the largest HBCU in the country. He also ...

Tiger Woods and his son Charlie put on a show at this weekend’s PNC Championship, a show that provided a glimmer of hope for a Tiger summer
Tiger and Charlie Woods almost pulled it out on Sunday. They broke out the red shirts and Tiger and his cub were on the prowl throughout the final day at the PNC Championship. Team Woods made a tournament-record 11 consecutive birdies at one point, but still finished two shots behind the tournament ...

Tiger Woods to play with son at PNC Championship
Tiger is back. And I don’t say this lightly, nor do I make this statement without sincere consideration, but all the evidence is pointing there: Tiger is back. After suffering a car accident in February that was almost fatal and left doctors questioning whether the legendary golfer would ever walk a...

Look at Tiger Woods saying good morning… from the golf course!
Tiger Woods is swinging golf clubs again. It’s not at a tournament, or what even looks like a practice round, but a club is technically making contact with a ball. On Sunday morning, Woods posted a brief, three-second, clip on Twitter of him with a basket of golf balls, and taking practice cuts. The...

J.R. Smith makes competitive golf debut for North Carolina A&T
Former NBA Sixth Man of the Year J.R. Smith has officially embarked on his journey into the world of collegiate sports. On Monday, Smith debuted for the North Carolina A&T men’s golf team. But the first round of his college athletic career wasn’t as productive as he’d indeed hoped....

Euro trashed
Another prediction I made got motherfucked, as the U.S. simply fustigated Team Europe in the Ryder Cup by the insulting score of 19-9. It’s the largest margin of victory for either side since the competition was expanded to include all of Europe. It was an ass-kicking from Friday morning until Sunda...

Hey, NCAA: Let J.R. Smith play college golf already!
J.R. Smith never played college basketball. He jumped straight from high school to the NBA. Now that his NBA career is over, he’s making an effort to get a college degree. Smith will be attending North Carolina A&T — the largest HBCU in the nation, with just over 12,700 students — which consistently...

Bryson DeChambeau’s ignorance is staggering
Everything Bryson DeChambeau said is wrong. Every. Thing. Which you knew, because most everything he says while on the PGA Tour is idiotic. But after returning from Japan and testing positive for COVID he’s the perfect example of how this nation is held back by uninformed, ignorant chewed boogers....

Try this on for size: Pro golfer Aaron Rodgers
Bryson DeChambeau looked like he had a lot of fun letting Aaron Rodgers win “The Match” against Tom Brady and Phil Mickelson for him yesterday. While DeChambeau’s ball spent more time in the trees than on the fairway, Rodgers looked like a professional golfer that might have a future on the PGA Tour...

Like clockwork, Koepka takes shot at DeChambeau over caddie change
Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka have formed the best, dumbest rivalry in golf since Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin, and honestly I’m fully here for all of it. After DeChambeau announced that he and his caddie would be taking a Ross and Rachel-esque break, Koepka made sure to take the opportun...

Bryson DeShambles — what a meltdown
There was a point during the final round of the U.S. Open yesterday when Bryson DeChambeau had a one-stroke lead with only 9 holes to play. He, umm… did not finish with a victory. In fact, he didn’t finish in the top five, or the top 10. Or anywhere close to that. DeChambeau finished in a tie for 26...

Rogue golfer at U.S. Open takes two swings, jukes security, gets tackled in open field
While watching the U.S. Open, you may have noticed a ball stuck in a tree, or Byson DeChambau’s near ace on No. 8 or, if you’re like me, you wondered what the view was like from paragliders overlooking Torrey Pines....

Brooks Koepka dominates when the stakes are highest
Brooks Koepka is really good at golf, and he’s really good at golf on the biggest stages. Since the 2017 Masters, he has played in 14 major championships. In those 14 appearances, he has won four, finished second twice, and placed in the top-10 in three more. Half of his 14 Majors appearances have b...

Golf’s dumbest feud keeps getting worse

Old Man Mickelson becomes oldest golfer to win a major
Before the 2021 PGA championship, Vegas gave Phil Mickelson 200-1 odds to win his sixth major. You probably didn’t give him much of a chance, either. Lefty came in 69th place in his last tournament and missed the cut at the one before. He couldn’t crack the top 20 at the 2021 Masters. Hell, he could...
