Phil Mickelson had high hopes when he left Pebble Beach last year

Former U.S. Open champ Geoff Ogilvy said golf needs to institute more mixed-gender events into its global schedule.

Phil Mickelson has struggled to hit fairways of late, but the first installment of a new “In The Rough” ad campaign featuring the five-time major champ deserves a hearty golf clap.

In what could have been a deleted scene from “I Love You, Man,” Mickelson, who is sitting on a chair with a sixer of Amstel Lights in the rough (GET IT?!), offers advice to a guy looking to make friends with a co-worker. “Just ask this Mike for his number and see if he wants to grab an Amstel Light sometime,” Mickelson says to a golfer struggling with his golf game and social life. “That's always a good place to start.” Just be cool about it. Don't want HR getting involved.
Mickelson puts the man at ease by telling him a lot of men struggle at making friends. “I mean, not me. I'm Phil Mickelson,” he says. “But those who aren't me.” Great line. Anyway, here's the full commercial.

It's always fascinating to see how a championship-starved sports city celebrates when one of its teams finally gets over the hump. Not surprisingly, things usually get out of hand. In the last five years alone we saw a Cleveland fan eat horse poop off the street during the Cavaliers championship parade, and then we witnessed Eagles fans climb every pole in the city, to the point the city had to put Crisco on them to prevent fans from climbing them.

First up was the police chase, which resulted in the Kansas City PD taking two people into custody. Here's a clip of the very end of the pursuit:

Phil Mickelson says he won't accept a special exemption to the U.S. Open if he needs one

David Duval and Gregory Havret were surprising contenders at two different Pebble Beach tournaments in 2010.

As part of their Driving Insights report, the USGA and R&A released the driving distances on golf's professional tours over the past two decades.

If you're not familiar with Marcus Armitage, AKA “The Bullet,” you should become familiar with him as soon as you can. Some might recognize the European Tour pro from a viral video he posted to his Twitter account this past December. In the 58-second clip, which he filmed fresh off a final-round 83 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, The Bullet explains that he still loves the game “to bits,” even after a bad day:

Armitage's positive outlook was a popular one on social media, with just about everyone who replied commending his great attitude. Three years earlier, Armitage went viral for a much different reason, this time after claiming his only victory on the Challenge Tour at the 2016 Foshan Open. During his post-round interview, Armitage, then 29, was overcome with emotion as he discussed his win, the fact he had earned a European Tour card, the loss of his mother when he was 14, and his dad, who was, as he put ..
