After 20+ years of coaching golfers of all levels, I can tell you this: you don't need fancy equipment to improve your game. I've seen more progress from students with alignment sticks and a smartphone than from those who bought the latest $500 driver.

What you feel in your swing and what's actually happening are often completely different. I see this daily. Your smartphone bridges this gap, showing you exactly what's happening, while alignment sticks provide the visual boundaries that groove proper movements. Together, they're golf improvement gold.

Florida State's Luke Clanton became the second player to earn a PGA TOUR card through the PGA TOUR U Accelerated program.

As the Arnold Palmer Invitational unfolds this week at the magnificent Bay Hill Club & Lodge, I find myself reflecting on my long-standing love affair with this iconic venue and my profound admiration for its legendary namesake. Bay Hill isn't just another stop on the PGA TOUR — it's a living tribute to the man who transformed golf.

Arnold Palmer's approach to golf transcended mere technique; it embodied a philosophy about how to play the game and, perhaps, how to live life. As we celebrate the legend this week, it seems like a perfect opportunity to revisit some of his timeless wisdom, which remains as relevant today as when he first shared it.

1. Grip It and Rip It — With Purpose

"Swing your swing," Palmer famously advised. "Not some idea of a swing. Not a swing you saw on TV. Not that swing you wish you had. No . . .swing your swing."

Tickets to go on sale in coming weeks; volunteer opportunities currently available for area sports fans

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 20, 2024 – Arizona golf fans, get ready for the return of the world’s best golfers!

On March 27-30, 2025, the LPGA Tour will head to Whirlwind Golf Club for the 2025 Ford Championship presented by Wild Horse Pass. The event promises to bring elite competition alongside family-friendly activities for sports enthusiasts of all ages.

The 2025 WM Phoenix Open has come to a thrilling conclusion, with thousands of golf fans once again putting the Super Bowl on hold to witness the crowning of this year’s champion. This time, it was Thomas Detry who etched his name into tournament history, capturing his first career PGA TOUR victory in dominant fashion at 24-under par.

Detry delivered when it mattered most, firing a 6-under 65 – which included birdies and the final four holes – in the final round to seal the win and become the first Belgian player ever to win on the PGA TOUR. His steady play and clutch putting down the stretch proved too much for the field, as he confidently closed out The People’s Open in style.

Is there anything better than a Friday at the WM Phoenix Open? Fans packed TPC Scottsdale for another electric day of golf, and they weren’t disappointed. The leaderboard is stacked, the energy is building, and with the weekend on the horizon, things are just getting started.

Thomas Detry holds the outright lead at 12-under par, following a scorching 7-under round today. But he’s got company. Alex Smalley and Michael Kim sit just two shots back at 10-under, with Smalley carding a 6-under 65 and Kim firing a bogey-free 8-under 63 to surge into contention.

Right behind them, three players sit at 9-under, including Jordan Spieth, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, and Tom Kim – all within striking distance heading into the weekend. With big names and lots of red numbers on the scorecard, it’s shaping up to be a must-watch Moving Day at The People’s Open.

Emiliano Grillo (3-under) stole the show at the loudest hole in golf. He didn’t just make an ace – he dropped it straight in the cup. A clean, slam-dunk, straight-dart from 155 yards that spun around the hole before finally disappearing, sending 17,000 fans into a flurry. That’s how you make history at the Coliseum.

Yes, plenty happens before the first tee shot is struck, but Thursday marked the official start of the 2025 edition of “The People’s Open.” And if the opening round was any indication, we’re in for an absolute thriller.

Wyndham Clark holds the early lead at 7-under par, making a strong statement out of the gate. But things are tightly packed at the top of the leaderboard, with Taylor Moore and Lee Hodges just one shot back at 6-under par. Right behind them, a stacked group of six players sits at 5-under par, including Justin Thomas, Nicolai Højgaard, Andrew Putnam, Akshay Bhatia, Camilo Villegas, and Adam Schenk. With so many contenders in the mix, this tournament is shaping up to be a shootout.
