Four-time European Tour winner Matt Wallace joins the Golf Digest Podcast to discuss his quick rise among the game's elite and the Masters title he doesn't want to defend.

Brooks Koepka's donation to coronavirus relief is the latest example of him considering results beyond birdies and bogeys

Jeff BottariIt's a sad reality of life that one of the strongest initial reactions to the coronavirus spreading on U.S. soil among people who are not scientists or anything remotely related, was it that was somehow not legitimate. As a person whose gut reaction is to expect everything to collapse into chaos even when there's not a global pandemic, I found this hard to understand, but it was all too common. Some went as far as saying it was a hoax, or designed to damage the president's reputation, but by and large the people on the “no big deal” side of the spectrum just believed that the government or the media or the weak nanny state libs were making a mountain out of a molehill.
I ran into this over and over again among the spectators at the Players Championship on Thursday, on the last day before the tournament was shut down. It was as though they couldn't conceive of a potentially deadly virus affecting them, even though many of them were old, and all had surely..

Listen, we're not here to slander Paul Pierce. The man—nay, THE TRUTH—may not be a once-in-a-generation NBA talent, but he was one of his generation's best, widely know for being one of the least athletic-looking athletic dudes in Association history. Perhaps because of that stealth factor, Pierce made a career out of blowing by guys with his duck-footed drive, all while draining game winner after LeBron-daggering game winner. Ask any modern Celtics fan, and they'll tell you all that and more, but what they won't mention is this newly infamous footage of Paul Pierce's 1995 McDonald's All-American Dunk Contest performance, which is, to put it kindly, one of the worst things we've ever seen full stop. Sorry Paul, we hate to do this to ya.

Pete Cowan took ill after going home to England following Players Championship, and his symptoms indicate COVID-19

As we have seen over the last few weeks, it's impossible to fully take sports away from athletes. Even if our superstars can't play their respective sports at the moment, they're using that energy for other athletic endeavors. Lionel Messi is juggling toilet paper, Brooks Koepka is learning how to win a major with the opposite hand and OJ Simpson is still out there hitting the links.

The people we haven't given enough time to are the announcers. What does an individual do when one's livelihood, hobby and world is snatched away? In freelance rugby commentator Nick Heath's case, you don't stop play-by-playing. Nick may not have rugby at the moment, but he does have all of life to break down instead.

The first in a series of classic stories in Golf Digest looks at a declining Bobby Jones at the end of his life and the enduring relationship he had with the author

As you and yours (hopefully) hunker down for another week of Coronavirus quarantine (Seriously, let's do this, people), here's a cute video to remind you of what awaits on the other side: SPORTS! Specifically, the Major League Baseball season. At some point. We think.

Anyway, Freddie Freeman is staying sharp during his break. The Atlanta Braves four-time All-Star hit a career-high 38 dingers last season. And by the looks of it, that power stroke is already in mid-season form. Watch as he takes his three-year-old son Charlie DEEP in their backyard:

Hey, the kid's got to learn not to leave pitches up in the zone at some point, right? May as well be from his dad.
Also, kudos to Freddie's wife, Chelsea, for her continued video skills. In October, she captured an adorable clip of Freddie coming across a kid dressed up as him for Halloween.
