The only way to get to the 14th tee at the Made in Denmark is through a beer tent

Ross KinnairdAcross the great blue ocean this week, Europe's best and brightest have gathered at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort for the Made in Denmark, a grammatically perplexing come down from May's first PGA Championship. How much you care about Matt Wallace's defense probably has a lot to do with how much money you have riding on the field, but the MiD marketing magicians are working overtime to pique your curiosity with an interesting new feature: A tee box inside a beer tent.
What could possibly go wrong?

Much to the chagrin of the European Tour's rapidly dwindling all-business contingent, the 14th tee can only be accessed through the Heineken Lounge, essentially a drunker, non-English speaking version of Jerry World's deranged player-viewing tank. Once the players have made their way through the lounge, d..

Extremely obscure PGA Championship bet would’ve netted a six-figure payday for one gambler, instead leads to all-time dagger

Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesMEDINAH, IL – SEPTEMBER 27: Phil Mickelson kisses a wad of money as Keegan Bradley looks on during a practice round before the 2012 Ryder Cup.The amount of outlandish bets being made on golf have garnered a ton of publicity lately. Of course, the man who netted a $1.19 million payday on Tiger Woods winning the Masters made the headlines, as did his $100,000 wager on Tiger winning the Grand Slam, which officially became a losing bet last weekend with the 15-time major champion missing the cut at Bethpage Black.
It turns out, there was another huge payday on the line at Bethpage Black on Friday of the PGA Championship, just not one that would've been on anyone's radars.
The Vegas Sports Information Network reported on the very bold “make-the-cut” parlay for the PGA Championship placed by Icelandic gambler Spencer McIlmoyle. For the casual reader, a parlay is a wager with multiple bets included, and it only pays out if every bet wins. McIlmoyle's bet ..

Dustin Johnson gave a priceless response when asked about completing “the runner-up Grand Slam”

Lost amid all the (rightful) fuss over Brooks Koepka winning a fourth major in eight tries was the fact that Dustin Johnson accomplished a bit of history himself. Not the type of history you dream about as a kid, mind you, but something that's still noteworthy. With his second-place showing at the 2019 PGA Championship, Johnson has now finished runner-up in all four majors.
THE GRIND: Brooks Koepka's tough love & the golfer who had the worst week at the PGA
Again, it's not what Johnson wants his Hall of Fame introductory speaker to focus on, but it's still a pretty rare—and impressive—feat. Of course, it wasn't something he wanted to focus on either after his latest close call at one of golf's biggest events.
It looked like Johnson might track down his gym buddy Brooks at Bethpage Black late on Sunday when he pulled within one shot. But back-to-back bogeys on 16 and 17 effectively ended his chances. Despite settling for second (again) and losing his spot a..

Oklahoma Sooners fan stuck in traffic sneaks Texas dig into hilarious roadside interview

Ladies and gentlemen, meet John Slate. Slate is a proud Oklahoman and, by the transitive property, a big Sooners guy. In recent years, he's had plenty to cheer about thanks to back-to-back Heisman Trophy winners Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, while arch rivals Texas have been mired in national obscurity. The seething contempt between the two neighbors runs deep no matter the circumstances, however, so when Slate was approached by a local news reporter while waiting out a snarl on I-40 caused by nearby flooding on Tuesday, he couldn't help but slip a not-so-subtle dig at the Longhorns into his instant-classic interview. Boomer Sooner indeed…

From start to finish the whole segment is a work of art. “I thought I was gonna be a little slick and take the shoulder all the way in, but it didn't work,” he tells the reporter, before beaming the camera with this little gem.
