Golf is truly a game for all. Watching “The Match,” we all were intrigued by the play of other athletes competing against PGA TOUR superstars. This is simply why golf is so popular.

The NBA cannot host an exhibition match between two golfers and their superstars. A couple of non-football athletes aren’t jumping on the field with two NFL players. Golf’s uniqueness in many ways comes from the fact that it is a game we can all play and relate to.

Many of you reading this play matches every week or even every day against your friends and foes just like what we watched on television. Whether it is two NFL Hall of Famers alongside two of the best golfers in the world, one fact in match play always rings true, the best short game wins. If you can outplay your opponent from inside 50 yards to the hole (including putting) you will win a large majority of your matches.

A shining example of this principle happened on the first hole when Bryson DeChambeau chipped in for birdie to win the hole over Tom Brady and Phil Mickelson. Even though his competitors expected him to get it close, making the shot was an early devastating blow and not only set the tone, but ultimately led to their victory over the seven-time Superbowl champ and reigning PGA Champion.

In 2021 Capital One’s The Match: Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady defeated Bryson DeChambeau and Aaron Rodgers 3&2 at The Reserve at Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana.

Check out every shot from the epic 8-hole playoff between Kramer Hickok and Harris English at the 2021 Travelers Championship, where English came out victorious.

The 2020 Rocket Mortgage Classic was a landmark meeting of generational differences within the sport of golf.

The pre-tournament favorite, Bryson DeChambeau, was newly armed with well, new arms, and lightning-quick swing speed to match. The golf course, a Donald Ross design that opened in the 19th century, was about to be played in a manner not plausibly foreseen by Ross or his contemporaries.

Before last year’s opening round, DeChambeau issued a preemptive apology to the course designer, preparing to rip drives that soared beyond the deterrents and hazards engineered more than a century earlier.

In this video, Neil Tappin is joined by Tour Coach Liam James to look at some of the biggest short game faults and how to fix them. From bunker striking to the consistency of your chipping, his simple effective drills should help improve your game around the greens.

The Thunderbirds – hosts of the Waste Management Phoenix Open – announced 2021 Tournament Chairman Scott Jenkins was elected Big Chief of The Thunderbirds for the 2021-22 fiscal year. As Big Chief, Jenkins will serve as President of both the organization and Thunderbirds Charities, the charitable arm of The Thunderbirds that provides enormous financial aid to hundreds of Arizona charities and non-profit organizations every year.

Throughout his PGA TOUR career, Phil Mickelson has produced some hilarious one-liners in response to questions from the media during press conferences. Check out some of his best responses and biggest laughs from his audience.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Lexi Thompson will make her 53rd start in a major championship when she tees it up at Atlanta Athletic Club on Thursday. The 26-year-old has been competing in majors for more than half her life, but she’s arguably suffered more heartbreak than joy as her lone victory came seven years ago at the ANA Inspiration.

Thompson will make her first major start since suffering a disappointing loss in the U.S. Women’s Open at The Olympic Club, where she relinquished a five-stroke lead to finish one shot outside a playoff, won by Yuka Saso. Thompson finished third.

Thompson arrived with a renewed, optimistic outlook that week, which helped her fight back tears as she muddled through post-round interviews. And that mental approach will be tested again this week as she competes at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

CROMWELL, Conn. – Were you to combine them, the developments in Dustin Johnson’s world the last few days would seemingly ignite a need for reaction.

But then you’d be reminded to consider the subject we’re talking about. Johnson appears incapable of angst or anxiety, the consummate picture of cool and collected.

So big deal that the reigning FedExCup champion turned 37 on Tuesday or fell from No. 1 in the world on Sunday. Even this business transaction, becoming part-owner of a National Lacrosse League expansion franchise, was met with a casual shrug.

“I don’t know a whole lot about (the game),” he said.
