Scottie Scheffler is the Masters champion once again. Scheffler won the 2024 edition of the tournament with a dominant display in the final round, which saw him hit 4-under 68.

Scheffler, who entered the tournament as the No. 1 golfer in the world, entered the final round with −7 to par and one-shot lead ahead of Collin Morikawa. He would go on to finish the round with −11 to par, being up four strokes on second-placed Ludvig Åberg.

Scheffler now has two Masters titles from five appearances. He is also the fourth-youngest two-time winner in the history of the tournament at the age of 27, behind only Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Steve Ballesteros.

“I feel like I’m playing really good golf right now,” Scheffler said after receiving the iconic green jacket. “I feel like I’m in control of my emotions as I’ve ever been, which is a good place to be. I feel like I’m maturing as a person on the golf course, which is a good place to be.”

Scheffler has been on an impressive run this season, appearing in nine PGA Tour events and winning three while missing out on the Top 10 just once. He also added to his reign as the top-ranked golfer in the world, being No. 1 for 80 weeks.

Tiger Woods is no stranger to making history at Augusta National, so it isn’t surprising to see him making some more at the 2024 Masters. Woods made the cut on Friday and set a new record in the process.

Woods has now made the cut at the Masters for 24 consecutive times, more than any other player in the Masters history. He was previously tied with Fred Couples and Gary Player with 23 straight cuts made.

When asked about the record, Woods didn’t waste too much time celebrating. Instead, he remained focused on the task at hand.

“It means I have a chance going into the weekend,” Woods said. “I’m here. I have a chance to win the golf tournament. I don’t know if they’re all going to finish today, but I’m done. I got my two rounds in. Just need some food and some caffeine, and I’ll be good to go.”

While Woods’ is a long shot to threaten the Top 10 at this year’s tournament due to all of the injuries he has been dealing with in recent years, it would be foolish to count him out. After all, he won Masters five times, including in 2019, when no one gave him a chance.

Anthony Kim is making an unexpected return to professional golf. Kim, who hasn’t played since 2012, announced on Wednesday that he will join LIV Golf and participate in the league’s 2024 events.

Kim will make his LIV debut at the LIV Golf Invitational Jeddah on Friday and play out the rest of the season as a wild-card player.

Kim underwent Achilles tendon surgery in 2012 and was initially projected to miss between eight and 12 months. However, his recovery took longer than expected, and he remained away from golf, saying on multiple occasions that he wasn’t “ready” to play again. Reportedly, one of the reasons he was reluctant to come back was an insurance policy that would see him collect between $10 and $20 million in case of a career-ending injury.

Kim became a professional in 2006 and has three PGA Tour wins and a Kiwi Challenge win on his resume. His best results in major championships were third place at the Masters in 2010 and fifth place at The Open Championship in 2011. He was at one point ranked at No.6 on World Rankings.

“After stepping away from the game years ago due to injury, I’m happy to officially announce my return to the world of professional golf,” Kim said in a statement after his comeback was made official. “It’s been a long time coming, and I’m very grateful for all the highs, lows and lessons learned from the first part of my career. I want to compete with the best players in the world, and I’m on a mission to prove to myself that I can win again.”

Every couple dreams of buying their ideal home where they can put down roots and raise a family. Even though we know the perfect home doesn’t really exist, we still hope for a place that will keep us safe, warm, and happy.

When the Tenczars bought their first home, they thought they hit the jackpot. While their house was big and beautiful, set in the idyllic surroundings of a country club, they had no idea it was about to turn into a nightmare.

The three most prominent golf tours—the PGA Tour, the LIV Golf, and the DP World Tour—made an announcement on Tuesday that they are merging in a move that sent shockwaves throughout the world of golf.

Announcing the merger, PGA Tour called it a “landmark agreement to unify men’s professional golf”.

The PGA Tour and the DP World Tour were previously engaged in a widely publicized legal battle with LIV Golf after the Saudi Arabia-backed tour plucked away some of the best golf players with lucrative contracts. The merger will now bring to an end all the legal proceedings and allow LIV Golf members to become part of the PGA Tour and DP World Tour again.

According to PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, the decision was made with the goal to improve golf as a sport and take it to another level.

“There’s been a lot of tension in our sport over the last couple of years,” Monahan said in a chat with CNBC. “What we’re talking about today is coming together to unify the game of golf and to do so under one umbrella.”

The details of the merger are still being worked out, but the tours said it will result in a “new, collectively owned, for-profit entity to ensure that all stakeholders benefit from a model that delivers maximum excitement and competition among the game’s best players.”

Over the years, Tiger Woods had some bad and some good times at Augusta National. But the one thing that never changed was that Woods would always make the cut at the Masters. And he made sure this remains the case during his appearance at the 2023 edition of the tournament.

Woods visibly struggled to get in a rhythm at this year’s Masters and was at 3-over to finish Saturday’s round. At this point, it seemed like his streak of cuts made at Augusta would come to an end, considering that the line was at 2-over.

Fortunately for Woods, Justin Thomas posted a bogey down the stretch, moving the line from 2-over to 3-over and enabling him to barely avoid the cut.

Woods never missed the cut at the Masters since becoming a pro and now has a streak of 23 made cuts. This makes him tied for most in the tournament’s history with Fred Couples and Gary Player. Jack Nicklaus holds the record for most cuts made overall with 37.

“I’ve always loved this golf course, and I love playing this event,” Woods said on Saturday. “Obviously, I’ve missed a couple with some injuries, but I’ve always wanted to play here. I’ve loved it.”

Just playing at the Masters is a big achievement for Tiger Woods. The 47-year-old player had a serious car crash in 2021 that saw him suffer multiple leg injuries and forced him to undergo surgery.

Mike Trout, one of today’s biggest baseball stars, and Tiger Woods, arguably the best golfer of all time, will team up to build a new golf course in New Jersey. According to the announcement made on Tuesday, Trout will serve as an investor alongside several other partners, while Woods and his company TGR Design will be in charge of designing the golf course.

The 18-hole course will be part of the newly-founded Trout National-The Reserve private golf club. The construction is set to begin at some point this year, with the club expecting to welcome its first members in 2025.

Trout National-The Reserve will be located in Trout’s hometown of Vineland, New Jersey. It will include a number of amenities, including a clubhouse, lodging, a practice range, a short-game area, and a wedding chapel.

“I love south Jersey, and I love golf, so creating Trout National-The Reserve is a dream come true. And then to add to that we’ll have a golf course designed by Tiger? It’s just incredible to think that this project has grown to where we’re going to be working with someone many consider the greatest and most influential golfer of all time,” said Trout in a statement.

“I’ve always enjoyed watching Mike on the diamond so when the opportunity arose to work with him on Trout National-The Reserve, I couldn’t pass it up,” Woods added. “It’s a great site for golf and our team’s looking forward to creating a special course for Mike, Jessica, John and Lorie.”

Trout is an avid golf enthusiast and isn’t shy of demonstrating his golf skills. Something tells us that he will only get better at it once he has his own golf course to practice on.

Cameron Smith can finally call himself a major championship winner. Smith won his first major title at the 2022 Open Championship and did it in style, overcoming a 4-strokes deficit in the Final Round to finish at the top.

Smith was -13 to par and had two strokes lead at the end of the Second Round on Friday. However, his sluggish performance in the Third Round saw him enter the Final Round four shots behind Viktor Hovland and Rory McIlroy.

The 28-year-old golfer then went on a tear on Sunday, delivering five consecutive birdies in the back nine and handling the round 8-under 64. He finished -20 to par, matching the major championship record and having one shot in the bag over runner-up Cameron Young.

Cameron Smith, who became the first Australian to win a major title in more than six decades, previously had T20 as his highest finish at The Open. However, Smith hinted at some big things with a third-place finish at the Masters Tournament and career-best T13 at PGA Championship.

“All the names on there, every player that’s been at the top of their game has won this championship,” said Smith. “It’s pretty cool to be on there. It really hasn’t sunk in yet. I don’t think it will for a few weeks. Yeah, it’s just unreal.”

The newly-founded LIV Golf continues to pluck talent from PGA Tour. The latest to join the lucrative tour is four-time major winner Brooks Koepka.

Koepka switching from PGA Tour to LIV Golf is yet to be announced, but multiple reports say the official confirmation should come by the end of the week. In the meantime, the 32-year-old has canceled his appearance at the upcoming Travelers Championship.

Koepka is expected to make his first LIV Golf appearance in late June at Portland, Oregon’s Pumpkin Ridge. He should play alongside his younger brother Chase, who also left PGA Tour recently.

Besides the Koepka brothers, LIV Golf’s roster features a number of other big names, including Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Patrick Reed. The tour is in its inaugural season and has already wrapped its first event in London, which saw a win from Charl Schwartzel.

Brooks Koepka previously spent 47 weeks as the world’s No. 1 golfer. He has 15 wins as a professional, including two U.S. Open championships and two PGA Championship trophies. However, things haven’t been smooth for Koepka in 2022, as his best result is 55th place at U.S. Open. He is currently ranked as the no. 18 player in the world.

Matt Fitzpatrick held off a fierce competition to claim the 2022 U.S. Open. The win, which came with a one-stroke lead, marked the first major trophy for the 27-year-old Englishman.

Fitzpatrick entered the final round tied with Will Zalatoris for the lead at four-under-par. What ensued was a rollercoaster, as Sheffield native first got to six-under-par on the front nine only to bogey the 10th and 11th hole. This dropped him back to four-under-par.

Luckily for Fitzpatrick, he managed to correct his mistakes and re-enter the leading group with a birdie on the 13th. The 19-foot putt on 15th allowed him to emerge alone on the top, and he never looked back.

The only player with a shot to stop Fitzpatrick was Zalatoris, who had to make a 14-foot putt for birdie on the 18th to force a playoff. However, the 25-year-old American narrowly missed and finished second at five-under-par. He was previously a runner-up at the 2022 PGA Championship as well.

The 2022 U.S. Open win marked the first time Matt Fitzpatrick even finished in the top 10 at the tournament. His previous best was no. 12 in 2018 and 2019.

“It’s what you grow up dreaming of. It’s something I’ve worked so hard for — for such a long time — it was a big monkey on my back trying to win [in the United States],” said Fitzpatrick. “That’s all everyone talked about was that. To do it with a major for my first win, there’s nothing better.”
