Tiger Woods hit two balls in the water at the par-3 17th at TPC Sawgrass and carded a quadruple-bogey 7 in the second round at The Players Championship

Big start for Fleetwood, big finish for McIlroy for share of lead at Sawgrass

Jim Furyk has his best score at The Players Championship in year he wasn't planning to play

Finding the center of gravity can be an advantage and Maxfli explored that area with its latest golf-ball introduction.

Geno Bonnalie knows a bet is a bet. Even if that bet nearly kills him.
Bonnalie, the caddie for the PGA Tour's Joel Dahmen, lost a wager to his loop at an Orlando putt-putt during last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational. The result: Bonnalie had to eat a Paqui Carolina Reaper Madness chip—advertised as a byproduct of “the hottest chili pepper in the world”—before attempting his shot at TPC Sawgrass' 17th during the Players Championship's Caddie Competition during Wednesday's practice round.
Now bagmen have long been on the business end of the player-caddie dynamic, but this seems to be in breach of the Geneva Conventions. However, Bonnalie proved he's a man of his word by downing the spicy delight, in front of the camera no less:

Bonnalie could be the first person in history who wanted to be in the water at the Island Green.
Give Bonnalie credit: finding the green is tough as is on the 17th, let alone w..

Death-row inmate Scott Peterson, a golfer gone wrong, back in the news with California's new moratorium on executions

Collin Richards, charged with the Sept. 2018 murder of Celia Barquin Arozamena, has sent a judge a handwritten note indicating he may change his plea from not guilty

Earlier this week at TPC Sawgrass, there were a few very odd moments during a couple of the player press conferences in the media center. Perhaps none stranger than this exchange between a reporter from The Augusta Chronicle and former Masters winner Adam Scott:
Q. Curious if you've made any scouting trips to Augusta this year, and what do you think about the new No. 5?
ADAM SCOTT: I haven't actually. I was planning on going last week, but my wife and I went to a Reba McEntire concert, so that was a bit random. Anyway, I haven't. I've heard about the 5th. I'm looking forward to going up and playing. Obviously I will make a trip here pretty soon. I actually don't plan on playing after this before the Masters, so I've got plenty of time to go up and have a look.
A bit random? Gee, ya think. Immediately, many members of the media jumped to the conclusion that Adam Scott had to have lost a bet. No way he could have willingly gone to a Reba McEntire concer..

Jay Williams is one of the top 10 Duke players of all time, and had he not gotten in that terrible motorcycle accident, he likely would have had a long and successful NBA career. Sadly, he only played one season for the Chicago Bulls, and after a few failed comebacks, he went into the world of broadcasting. Make no mistake, the guy knows what he's talking about when it comes to college hoops, and he's been one of ESPN's top analysts for some time now. But when the conversation involves Duke, he often says things that hurt his credibility.
Take for example, the clip from earlier in the college basketball season, when Williams suggested that Duke could beat the Cleveland Cavaliers:

The same day this statement was made, Duke lost its first game against Gonzaga in the Maui Invitational. Later in the year the Blue Devils lost on their home court to Syracuse, a 20-13 team that barely cleared the .500 mark in ACC play. Du..
