In a debut of our point/counterpoint pitting a scratch golfer against a mid-level chopper, we explore whether a stripped-down PGA Tour should consider leaving loopers at home.

Brendon Todd expects there to be some risks from the new coronavirus when the PGA Tour resumes its schedule

Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we wish cutting our hair was as easy as cutting our lawn. Not that the latter is a snap of the fingers for a bumbling homeowner like myself, but I finally took care of that for the first time this year. You know, before the neighbors started shooting me nasty glances. Well, nastier glances than normal. Let’s just say the USGA will have a difficult time getting nearby Winged Foot’s rough to be that juicy for a September U.S. Open. And let's just hope I'm able to get an actual haircut by then. In any event, here's what else is (still) happening in the world of golf.

TaylorMade Driving Relief: See what they did with the name there? That play on words? Clever.

And unlike The Match: Champions for Charity, this one actually has a date (May 17), a format (best-ball skins), and a venu..

Chung Sung-JunLike an oasis in our collective sports desert, in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, the South Korea's top-flight baseball championship, the KBO League, landed on American shores courtesy of ESPN. At approximately 1 a.m. ET, the first pitch of a new KBO season was thrown, with the NC Dinos eventually going on to defeat the Samsung Lions 4-0 in the much-anticipated season opener.

But if you did it miss it, you're not only missing out on baseball, you're missing out on a true cinematic experience—The Godfather and Rookie of the Year rolled into one captivating ball of awesome. Don't believe us? Just take a l..

We know what you're thinking. Golf-y gender reveal. Dad hits ball, ball goes poof, Big Bertha hits mom in the forehead. We've seen some combination of the aforementioned events and players so many times it's like an old episode 'The Office'. We know what joke is coming but we still laugh anyway because, well, that's why we're watching right? Except this golf-themed gender reveal is different. Sure, it's still a colossal fail, but not because of cringe-y sitcom slapstick. Everyone stands well clear, the ball explodes without protest, the whole family emerges with their septums intact.
