Tiger Woods shows up to course rocking his hat backward, Golf Twitter reacts accordingly
Tiger Woods sent Golf Twitter into a funk last week when he withdrew from the Northern Trust ahead of his second round. He completely revived his worried fanbase on Thursday, however, with one simple gesture: Turning his hat around.

Woods arrived for his 12:54 ET tee time at Medinah rocking his Nike cap backward, and while this shouldn't be a big deal, it was treated like one. Have a look:

Joe LaCava recalls his hilarious response when Tiger Woods asked him to be his caddie
David CannonOn Wednesday night, Joe LaCava was inducted into the Caddie Hall of Fame, a well-deserved honor for a guy who stuck by Tiger Woods through all his injuries and reaped the benefits this year in the form of a Masters victory. And to think, LaCava almost said no to Woods when he first asked him to be his caddie in 2011.

Just kidding. During his induction speech on the eve of the BMW Championship, LaCava retold the story of the time Woods asked if he was “interested” in looping for him. After mulling it over for a grand total of 0.00001 seconds, Joey gave Woods his answer. We'll let him take it from there:

Phil Mickelson, Luke Donald exchange Twitter barbs (And GIFs) over use of greens books
On the heels of that impromptu face-to-face meeting between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka at Liberty National, another squabble between two PGA Tour stars regarding the topic of slow play has broken out. Only Phil Mickelson and Luke Donald are handling their disagreement like real men of the 21st century should: By taking it to Twitter.

To be clear, the issue at hand isn’t a specific player—although, all of this has stemmed from a pair of deliberate DeChambeau videos that went viral last week—but rather the use of greens books. Depending on who you talk to, these things either cause golfers to play slower or merely make it look like golfers are playing slower.
Mickelson is in the latter camp, and he stuck up for these green-reading books with this Tuesday tweet that said, “For anyone to say they slow up play is flat out idiotic.” After Golf Digest relayed Phil’s strong thoughts on the matter, Luke Donald respo..
