Brooks Koepka says he’s working on his “six-pack,” re-stokes the flames of golf’s best feud
Being on lockdown has caused many PGA Tour pros to discover new hobbies, from brining meat to conjuring trick shots involving swimming pools. But Brooks Koepka is keeping it simple and using the time off to work on his core—and continue the PGA Tour's best feud.
Remember when Bryson DeChambeau called out Koepka for not having “any abs” in his ESPN Body Issue shoot? And then Brooks fired back with a photo of his four-pack of major championship trophies? Good times—especially, you know, because we weren't even thinking about a global pandemic then.

But now Brooks has returned to distract us from that by re-stoking the feud flames with DeChambeau. Koepka posted a video on his Instagram story with those four shiny beauties in the background and the opening line, “As many of you know, I do not have a six-pack. I only have four.” Boom. Roasted. Himself. But not really. Check it out:

Did you know: Bob Jones played in the Masters after his retirement (12 times, in fact)
Augusta NationalThe Coronavirus pandemic has hit a giant pause button on fans being able to watch golf on TV, and in some cases, even kept people off courses. But while we hunker down and hope for a speedy return to normalcy, we can also use this time as an opportunity to learn more about the game we love. Here’s our latest installment of “Did you know?”
Any golf aficionado knows all too well that Bob Jones retired from competitive golf after he won the Grand Slam in 1930. But if you think Jones’ career ended at age 28 when Jones defeated Eugene Homans 8 and 7 to win the U.S. Amateur and complete the “Impregnable Quadrilateral,” then you would be mistaken.
Albeit an honest mistake. Jones had issued a statement in November of 1930 that read, “Fourteen years of intense tournament play in this country and abroad had given me about all I wanted in the way of hard work in the game. I had reached the point where I felt that my profession required more of my time and effort, leaving golf in i..

Flying Dog celebrates Caddyshack’s 40th anniversary with pale ale inspired by Judge Smails and Ty Webb
'Caddyshack' and beer go together like Bill Murray and a camo bucket hat, which is to say pretty damn well. We've seen microbreweries like Altamont Beer Works tap hoppy tributes to the OG golf comedy before, but now the big, uh, dogs are stepping up, led by Maryland brewery Flying Dog, who have readied their new seasonal brew 'Night Putting' just in time for the film's 40th anniversary this summer.

A reimagining of the classic American pale ale, Night Putting—which takes its name from the lips of Ty Webb himself—is brewed with a blend of Simcoe and Centennial hops, which are then smoothed out with a hit of sweet oats and subtle malt. Clocking at 5.5% ABV, the beer is session-able but not laughably lightweight and comes packaged in 16 oz cans inspired by Judge Elihu Smails' infamous fedora. Unlike the hat, however, this can will actually loo..
