The start of the 2013 Masters Golf Tournament is less than 24 hours away, and if the video below is any indication, it appears as though Rickie Fowler has never been more prepared to make a run at his first Green Jacket. It features Fowler skipping a ball across the water hazard at the par-3 [...]

Bubba’s Hover: A Golf Cart Hovercraft (Video)
In six PGA tournament appearances thus far this season, Bubba Watson has accumulated a total of $767,300 in earnings and 356 FedEx Cup Points, ranking him outside the top 35 PGA golfers in each of those categories.

Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer Take on Kung Fu Crime Syndicate in New EA Sports Commercial (Video)
Don’t look now, but it looks like Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods again. By that I mean, of course, that Tiger Woods is starting to look more like the guy he used to be before his predilection for cheating on his wife with porn stars and cocktail waitresses went public, and his golf game went [...]

Sergio Garcia Shot a Ball Into a Tree, So He Climbed the Tree and Hit the Ball Out (Video)
Spain’s Sergio Garcia was already having a rough day at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill yesterday when he approached the tee on the 10th hole.

Did you know that you can major in “PGA Golf Management” in college? Well, you can.

Phil Mickelson Takes a Spill at Pebble Beach (Video)
Just before the Phoenix Open a couple weeks ago, Phil Mickelson made some headlines by complaining about the new tax rates that will soon take effect.

The Caddy Races at TPC Scottsdale Is One of the Coolest Traditions in Pro Sports (Video)
For years now, the par-3 16th hold at TPC Scottsdale has been known as “The Loudest Hole in Golf.” I’m not sure when it all started, exactly. But what I do know is that there is no louder, rowdier, or drunker bunch of golf fans on the PGA Tour than the 20,000 people who pack [...]

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods Team Up for Nike Golf’s “No Cup Is Safe” Commercial (Video)
No athlete had a better 2012 than Rory McIlroy. Okay, fine. LeBron James did. But after LeBron, it’s Rory. The guy won the U.S. Open in 2011 at the age of just 21, then he followed that by winning the 2012 PGA Championship, leading the PGA in earnings, being named the PGA Player of the [...]

The U.S. Olympic gold medalist skier and his wife, pro volleyball player and model Morgan Miller, apparently like to spend quality time together out on the links when they have time off from training.

Texas Golf Pro Drives a Ball 146 Yards with a 14-Foot Golf Club (Video)
I’m a pretty lousy golfer, so if I hit a ball 150 yards off the tee and it lands on the fairway, I’m pretty happy. And that, of course, is with a normal club. If I tried to use some goofy novelty club in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record? Yeah, it [...]

World Long Drive Champ Destroys Drive Simulator at Golf Channel Studio (Video)
Golf drive simulators are fine for regular folks like you and me, and they probably even work with the vast majority of pro golfers as well. However, as Jamie Sadlowski recently demonstrated, they cannot stand up to a guy who can hit a golf ball 445 yards. Sadlowski, of course, is the 24-year-old Alberta native [...]

College Golf Coach Has Epic Meltdown (Video)
Golf isn’t really one of those sports where you would expect to see improved results after a coach goes ballistic on his team. Football? Absolutely. Basketball? Yep. Baseball? Sure, why not.
