Days after not renewing analysts Peter Kostis and Gary McCord, CBS Sports golf team has added a new voice to its lineup.
Tiger Woods’ record-tying win, Brooks Koepka’s bold Halloween costume, and the craziest tee shot in PGA Tour history
Welcome to another edition of The Grind where we wish Daylight Saving Time had come a week earlier. With Tiger Woods and LeBron James playing at the same time, I hadn’t been so excited about staying up late on a weekend night since I was in college. But come Sunday morning, I really could have used that extra hour of sleep. Fueled by adrenaline and Monster (kidding, I haven’t had one of those since college), though, I put on my Tiger (business casual) red and powered through. Let's jump right in because we have a LOT to talk about.

We are still trying to wrap our heads around this ridiculous Bubba Watson tee shot
“If I've got a swing, I've got a shot.” Bubba Watson has always played golf with this mentality, and outside of maybe fellow escape artists Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, it's a mantra that fits the ball-shaping wizard better than anybody. But Bubba took that creativity to a whole new level during the final round of the Zozo Championship by attempting—and pulling off—arguably the most ridiculous tee shot in PGA Tour history.
PODCAST: Bubba Watson on burritos and getting blocked by Tracy McGrady
Before we proceed, let's make it clear that this shot was completely legal—even if it made golf course architects around the world collectively cringe. Watson teed up behind the tee markers on the par-5 sixth hole at Narashino Country Club. He just aimed in a 90-degree angle away from the fairway, sending his golf ball sideways and through a gap between a tee sign and a tree. You have to see it to believe it:
