Callum Shinkwin worked some shamanism at the Oman Open with one of the luckiest, and weirdest, highlights you'll ever see.

It's been awhile since we've covered Darts here at The Loop, and frankly, that's upsetting. Night Four of the 2020 Unibet Premier League in Dublin provided enough content to last a lifetime, but we'll do our best to sum it all up below.
First up was one of the great feats in darts, and perhaps all of international sport: a nine-darter. Michael Smith of England was the latest to pull it off, throwing a nine-darter in the fourth leg of his best-of-12 match against Northern Ireland's Daryl Gurney. It was, as they say in Europe, great “scenes”:

For the darts noobs, the game is called 501, which is the amount of points both players start with. To win you have to get down to 0, and one of the quickest ways to do that is to hit the “treble 20” which is the spot Smith hits on the inner ring his first six throws.

Ian WaltonFor golf fans, Anthony Kim is gone, but not forgotten. Gone from professional golf, that is. We know he's still alive because he pops up from time to time in a pet store or even on a golf course. Sadly, it's been nearly eight years since Kim last teed it up in a PGA Tour event. But if anything could bring him back (he's still only 34!), maybe it's this song.

A couple weeks ago we shared Sam Harrop's musical parody in which he took a classic REO Speedwagon song and wondered when Tony Finau will win again. It was so well done that even Tony got a kick out of it. And now, Sam has turned his attention to the MIA AK with a fantastic followup effort to Take That's “Back For Good.” Enjoy:

Rickie Fowler has his hands full dealing with the Bear Trap at this week's Honda Classic. But even when he's not playing in a PGA Tour event, the 31-year-old golfer stays plenty busy. You see, the stardom he enjoys comes with a price: his time. A lot of his time.

This shouldn't surprise golf fans considering Fowler's face is everywhere in golf publications and during golf broadcasts. From Farmers Insurance to Puma to Red Bull to Rocket Mortgage (“And what does PMI even mean, Rick?!”), the five-time PGA Tour winner's popularity among advertisers—and obviously, fans—is undeniable. But the amount of days Fowler says he spends per year with his sponsors is still pretty staggering. Here's what Fowler said on Wednesday about how he goes about setting his schedule.
“There's a lot that goes into it, and like I said, it's learning how to manage everything, when to do it,..

Italian duo cleared of having virus, going well at Oman Open

David CannonAs we all know, Instagram is the heart and soul of golf. Nothing embodies the spirit of the game—of the eternal struggle of man vs. self—quite like a social media platform comprised of 70% bikini shots and 30% cat videos. Even Old Tom Morris understood that if you didn't 'gram it, you didn't play it. Why else would he design labyrinthian links perched on seaside cliffs? What other reason would he have for laying them down betwixt rolling dunes and blooming heather? Because he knew it was all about them likes and nothing moves the engagement needle quite like a sunset over the Irish Sea.
Thus you probably find yourself wondering, if Instagram is the most essential part of golf, what are Instagram's most essential courses? Well according to the number crunchers over at Golfsupport.com, these are hands down, no contest, the most Instagrammed courses on golf's beautiful green earth. How many have you played tagged?
