Every Force In The Universe Conspires To Cruelly Thwart Golfer's Eagle Approach Shot
You are not going to do a whole lot of mourning for a golfer because he narrowly missed an eagle—first of all it’s golf, and second of all, you tap in for birdie a shot later and that’s about the best anyone can realistically hope for in this awful world. But this, man, this shot, from Peter Malnati...

PGA Tour Event Made Much Cooler By Crew Of Fun-Loving Gators
The Zurich Classic’s being played this weekend down in Louisiana, and the tournament features a few hundred golfers (okay) and approximately 20 alligators (great!). This little buddy was kind of interrupted by a Talor Gooch shot, and they tried to scare him off by throwing a rake towards him. He ate...

Golfer Kelly Kraft Misses Cut After Tee Shot Nails Bird Mid-Flight

Tony Finau Played The Entire Masters On This Gross, Fucked-Up Ankle

Bubba Watson Sends Eagle Putt Directly Into The Bunker
Owing to the insane three-day brilliance of leader Patrick Reed, Bubba Watson’s perfectly respectable six-under headed into Sunday at the Masters put him nowhere close to contending for the lead in the final round.

Tony Finau And His Bum Ankle Finish 4 Under, Near Top Of First-Round Leaderboard

Sergio Garcia Does The Thing From That Golf Movie, Hits Five Straight Shots Into The Water On One Hole
This is almost as excruciating to watch as Tony Finau’s ankle popping out. Defending Masters champ Sergio Garcia handled the opening round’s par-5 15th hole by putting five consecutive balls into the damn water. He finished with a 13, which ties him with Tommy Nakajima and Tom Weiskopf for the highe...

Tiger Woods's Impressive Showing Comes Up Agonizingly Short
This weekend’s Valspar Championship wound up quite a bit more thrilling than your average pre-Masters tune-up: Tiger Woods came into Sunday near the top of the leaderboard, and spent the afternoon just off the lead, tantalizingly close to a breakthrough win for this comeback chapter of his career. T...

This happened today in the third round of 2018 Mexico Championship at the Club de Golf Chapultepec—Adam Hadwin, who finished the day tied for 21st place, picked out a hilariously imaginative line for his birdie putt on the par-3 third hole. Check this shit out:...

The Hashmarks For Vikings-Falcons Are In The Wrong Spot
The Atlanta Falcons’ stadium hosted the SEC championship game Saturday night. A crew spent all night repainting the field in order to have it ready for today’s Vikings-Falcons game. They did a nice job, with one exception: The hashmarks were in the wrong spot....

Tiger Woods Has Recovered From His Lousy Saturday And Is Murdering The Ball
We can probably rule out Tiger Woods winning this weekend’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. He was right in it after two rounds, but a Saturday 75 dropped him well back of the lead, and Rickie Fowler has spent Sunday birdying literally all the damn holes, so Tiger is out of it....

Old, Fucked-Up Tiger Woods Plays Real Golf For The First Time In 10 Months<em></em>
After 301 days, Tiger Woods is once again playing golf. The 41-year-old was -1 after the first four holes of today’s Hero World Challenge, and his tee shots looked good. Surely, Tiger is back, for real this time, no, seriously, his body will hold up, for sure....
