The PGA Is Harshing On The Best Hole In Golf
The 16th hole at the Phoenix Open has long been one of the most fun things in golf, owing entirely to the fact that its amphitheater-style gallery makes it a perfect place for fans to get loud and rowdy—like they would at a real sporting event!—but this year the PGA is trying to do away with some of...

Dad Removes Son's Tooth With A Golf Ball And Some String

Players' Tribune Boss Says Tiger Woods Isn't Being Defensive, <em>You</em> Are
Last week, we and many other people made fun of Tiger Woods for revealing himself to be a hollow replicant by "writing" what he imagined to be a scathing takedown of Dan Jenkins's satirical and clearly fake interview with Woods. Now, the editorial director of The Players' Tribune, Gary Hoenig, is ou...

Tiger Woods, In His Own Words
So Tiger Woods is all bent out of shape about a satirical piece Dan Jenkins wrote in Golf Digest.
