Hilton Head is a relatively short commute from Augusta and an opportunity to play [...]

Phil Mickelson Makes Masters Push

Phil Mickelson isn’t supposed to win the Masters. He hasn't finished better than 37th since he won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, missed the cut entirely in his last two tournament appearances, and to top it off he's nearing 50.

Since a 41-year-old Mark O’Meara finished first at the storied golf course in 1998, no player older than 40 has topped the leaderboard in golf’s [...]

The Case for Tommy Fleetwood in the 2019 Masters

After failing to make the cut in his first Masters appearance two years ago, Fleetwood shot 66 in the third round last year and was tied for sixth entering Sunday at Augusta National. He didn’t carry the momentum forward, sliding to 17th after a final-round 74, but the experience proved beneficial. “It takes you a little time to get used to the atmosphere at majors,” the [...]
