Super-rare Mickelson memorabilia auction could be a good indicator of LIV's popularity

With all the secrecy (and burner social-media accounts) surrounding the ongoing PGA Tour-LIV mating ritual, it’s hard to get a real barometer on where things stand when it comes to the golf-consuming public. One real-world representation of that mythical “heat index?” A genuine piece of hyper-rare golf history up for auction this week. The Golf Auction is presenting the ball and glove Phil Mickelson used to finish out his victory at the 2005 PGA Championship—a bit of tournament-used major champi…

How powerful are PGA Tour players relative to athletes in other spo...

It’s no shock that powerful, Type-A athletes like Tiger Woods want more control over the tour on which they play. That’s been coming in the form of more player representation on the PGA Tour Board—which gives commissioner Jay Monahan his marching orders on the organization’s strategy. But fellow player Lucas Glover enunciated one of the potentially messier bits about players like Woods, Patrick Cantlay and Jordan Spieth now holding a controlling bloc of six player votes on the 11-person board: “…

PGA Championship 2024: Low club pro lucked into practice round with...

LOUISVILLE — The moment didn’t look too big for club pro Jeremy Wells, who shot a smooth 69 on Thursday in the first round of the PGA Championship to pace the 21 non-touring professionals at Valhalla. And Wells credited the “stress-free” round—which included 15 greens in regulation and two near-hole-outs from the fairway—to being on the skillet the day before during his practice round. “Yesterday I was on the 10th tee waiting to tee off and snuck my way in with Max Homa and Scottie Scheffler for…

What’s the value of a brand? That’s an interesting question when it comes to Greg Norman—who has mixed an undeniably successful business career with a more controversial turn as the in-your-face face of LIV. Norman has designed more than 100 golf courses around the world, from Tiburon and ChampionsGate in Florida to the Fire course at Jumeirah in the United Arab Emirates. Less famous (and less successful) is his signature course outside Los Angeles, the former Golf Club of Vellano. Designed as a…

How a sunglasses startup created golf shades that don’t skimp on style

The first entry in the entrepreneur’s handbook would probably say to find a popular, painful problem to solve. That’s how simple it was for Stephen Lease, who grew up around golf. His father was a greenskeeper at a Colorado public course. About 10 years ago, as a newly addicted distance runner, Lease was looking for affordable, stylish sunglasses that wouldn’t bounce or slide off his nose when he was putting in miles. Finding nothing that ticked all those boxes, he and co-founders Ben Abell and…

How a golf pro built a hot new indoor golf club in a New Jersey str...

Aaron Asedo doesn’t exactly have the standard golf pro training. Yes, he was a college golfer, but he also developed his artistic chops at the renowned Savannah College of Art and Design at the same time—and developed a line of custom furniture after he finished school. When Asedo started thinking about how to grow his golf-instruction business beyond the hours he was spending on the range at elite New Jersey clubs like Knickerbocker and Mountain Ridge, his vision naturally looked different than…

Is the USGA going to set up Pinehurst extra hard because of previou...

There was nothing subtle about the way Winged Foot was set up for the 1974 U.S. Open. The USGA took what was already one of the hardest courses in the country and grew shin-tickling rough defending champion Johnny Miller said ranged from six to 10 inches high. “I like to measure U.S. Open rough by how far you’d be able to advance 100 balls if you hit into 100 different lies,” he said for Golf Digest’s oral history of the 1974 U.S. Open. “Some recent courses haven’t had any rough to speak of.
