Georgia Southern's Stephen Fisk can be happy with his 12-under 60 at the Princeville Makai Invitational, but it came so close to being a more historic round

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we’re sad to report the end of an undefeated streak. Never had this sleep mask I got from a JetBlue flight a few years back failed to produce some extra shuteye in times when I needed it — until I turned to it in Las Vegas and. . . no dice.
FacebookPinterestThe house always wins here in the battle over your well-being, but it was still a successful trip to the Vegas Strip to cover the inaugural Major Series of Putting. And it was a relaxing week with plenty of down time to recover, because it’s not like much else happened on the golf front. Oh, wait. EVERYTHING happened. From Tiger Woods' big announcement to a big injustice in high school golf to golf's greatest villain getting arrested, let’s (try to) discuss it all.

Tiger Woods: He’s back! Again! Woods announced he will return to competitive golf at the Hero World Challenge on Nov. 30. This is not that surprising considering the onslaught of social media swin..

Play it again, Tiger Woods.

For the second straight year, Woods will return from back surgery at his holiday tournament in the Bahamas the week after Thanksgiving.

Woods has not played since he withdrew from the Dubai Desert Classic on Feb. 3 with back spasms. Two months later, he had his fourth back surgery in just over two years.

Woods will be part of the 18-man field at the Hero World Challenge, which starts Nov. 30 at Albany Golf Club. While sponsor exemptions are limited to the top 50 in the world, Woods is exempt as the tournament host.

His latest procedure was a fusion surgery – the previous three were microdiscectomy surgeries – and Woods reported instant relief. He also said just one month ago at the Presidents Cup that he had no idea what his future held.

Doctors gave him clearance to practice without limitations about a week later, and Woods had been posting video on Twitter of a full swing with an iron, a driver and then his signature ..

Wendell Haskins is here to make the game look like America

SHANGHAI (AP) No one ever can tell what’s going through Dustin Johnson’s head by looking at him. His expression was the same at the HSBC Champions when he was building a six-shot lead on Saturday and when he was losing it on Sunday.

Leave the emotions of the surreal moment to Henrik Stenson.

Suddenly one shot behind, Stenson drilled his 4-wood just short of the green at the par-4 16th and as he stood by his golf bag, he turned to the right and widened his eyes as far as they would go. It was a look that suggested, ”What’s going on here?”

Johnson sure didn’t have many answers.

He left the 18th green with the same stoic expression that he had on the first tee when he began the final round with a six-shot lead. Instead of going to the trophy presentation on the third-floor balcony of the HSBC suite above the 18th green at Sheshan International, Johnson went into the scoring room to sign for a 77.

It was his highest closing round with the 54-hole lead..

Welcome to “Golfers We Like”, where we regularly talk to people in golf who deserve your attention. Chantel McCabe joined Golf Channel in 2016 as an on-site reporter at PGA and LPGA Tour events, so she now has more than a year's worth of experience covering golf around the world. Before Golf Channel, McCabe covered the 2016 presidential election for NH1 in her home state of New Hampshire, where she broke some important political news (more on that below), and the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes for Fox Sports Carolinas. Here, McCabe tells us her favorite stories from covering golf in her first year, which includes a hilarious interaction with Lee Trevino and her front-row seat to covering Jordan Spieth's amazing bunker hole-out at the Travelers Championship. Plus, we get into her golf game, and the funny story about how she first got into the sport.
OK, before we get into the serious stuff, I think my favorite moment from seeing you on Golf Channel was when you did your Ric Fl..

Justin SullivanAny video footage of Donald Trump on the golf course is ripe for interpretation, and we won't belabor the reasons. Let's just say with the president's approval ratings hovering at historic lows, it's doubtful he's going to win over his detractors by showcasing a deft touch around the greens. And when he seems to be scooping up a missed putt as it's still rolling, which seems to be in defiance of the Rules of Golf?
Here's the clip in question of Trump playing golf over the weekend in Virginia, as captured by NBC's Kelly O'Donnell. It shows Trump missing a putt, then trotting after his ball to pick it up before it stops.

Could this be the most overt display of golf cheating ever captured of a sitting president? At the risk of disappointing hot takers and conspiracy theorists everywhere, probably..
