“The Thunderbirds continue to work closely with the PGA TOUR, local government and health officials in preparation to have limited fans at the 2021 Waste Management Phoenix Open.  Since returning to competition in June of 2020, the PGA TOUR has a successful track record of health and safety in the communities in which they play, including several events with ticketed spectators. We remain hopeful we can host an extremely limited number of socially distanced fans at “The People’s Open”, and in light of the current COVID climate, we have decided to further reduce our attendance to fewer than 5,000 fans each day, Wednesday through Sunday.

In this video, Joel Tadman tests the brand new Callaway Epic Speed, Epic Max LS and Epic Max drivers! He hits them both on the Foresight Sports GCQuad launch monitor and out the golf course to gain a true understanding as to how these drivers perform and how they compare both to eachother and to the Mavrik range launched last year. By the end of the video, you should know which model will be best for your game.

Each year, The Thunderbirds – hosts of the Waste Management Phoenix Open – invite local and national members of the media to a different event usually held a few weeks before the start of “The People’s Open” – Media Day. The event has become a fun-filled tradition where newspaper and magazine officials, radio and TV personalities and reporters can enjoy a day on the golf course and learn more about the upcoming golf tournament.

Check out the top shots of the week from the Sentry Tournament of Champions, featuring Harris English, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and more on the Plantation Course at Kapalua.

In this video, Neil Tappin is joined by Golf Monthly Rules Guru Jezz Ellwood to discuss why the rules of golf are so complicated. Because golf takes place in a natural landscape, there is a possibility for a number of different situations to occur during your round and if you find yourself in one, the rules are there to help you continue with your round in the most appropriate way. For many, this means the rules book is complex and hard to understand - hopefully this video will explain why the rules of golf are (and have to be) the way they are.

COMMITS ALSO INCLUDE 2019 ROOKIE OF THE YEAR SUNGJAE IM, 2020 ROOKIE OF THE YEAR SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER

Tournament Chairman Scott Jenkins announced today defending champion Webb Simpson, five-time PGA TOUR winner Jon Rahm and 15th-ranked Matthew Wolff are the latest to commit to the Waste Management Phoenix Open field, which will tee it up February 1-7 at TPC Scottsdale. Additionally, 2019 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year Sungjae Im and 2020 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year Scottie Scheffler also committed to play in “The People’s Open.”

All five players are currently ranked in the Top-50 of the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), with Rahm leading the way at No. 2, followed by Simpson (6), Wolff (15), Im (18) and Scheffler (31).

The Thunderbirds – hosts of the Waste Management Phoenix Open – announced today fans of the tournament have the chance to virtually be seen at the iconic 16th hole during the 2021 playing of “The People’s Open” as part of the Faces on 16 Program for charity. Placement of headshot images are $500 each for primary visibility and $250 for secondary visibility. Fans are encouraged to make their donations at www.WMPhoenixOpen.com/faces-on-16 before January 15, 2021, to ensure their image will be ready for the 2021 event. Proceeds from the program will directly benefit Arizona Helping Hands, Teen Lifeline, Boys & Girls Clubs of the East Valley, and Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

“Although the WM Phoenix Open footprint will look significantly different this year, we wanted to give our fans – the greatest fans in golf – another opportunity to be a part of the 2021 event if they are unable to attend,” said 2021 Tournament Chairman Scott Jenkins. “The 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open is one of most storied traditions in professional golf and it was important to The Thunderbirds to allow fans the chance to continue those traditions, albeit in a virtual manner, along with donating money to four great causes.”

Josh Allen isn't just a Pro Bowl quarterback. The Bills signal caller is also a Pro Bowl gift giver.

"You can just tell he puts time and thought and effort into it," Bills left guard Ike Boettger told The Buffalo News. "It just says a lot about him and the kind of leader that he is."

Two Christmases ago, Allen gave his offensive linemen new iPads. Last year, he gifted them Traeger grills. This year, according to the News, he presented them with new golf clubs and lessons.

The winter is a great time to work on the small details in your game, even if you're trapped inside & unable to get to the driving range due to the cold.

We've all had to spend more time indoors in 2020, but that doesn't mean our golf games should suffer. Fortunately for us all, PGA Coach Payton Minear shared three easy games that can be played indoors with limited space that will help improve your putting stroke.

The best part is you can involve your friends & family to have a little fun during the process. All you need is some painter's tape, golf balls, a putter & a little bit of space.

Check out the full video below to see how Minear is working on her game with her family this winter & be sure to give her a follow on Instagram for more great golf tips.
