 By ESPN.com Every pro golfer looks to bank some coin when they turn 50 and become eligible for the PGA Tour Champions.For two-time major champion John Daly, there's a slightly different twist.According to a report in USA Today, former Masters champion Fuzzy Zoeller bet Daly years ago that he wouldn't make it to the big 5-0. The long-hitting Daly turned 50 on Thursday."Fuzzy's going to owe me 150 grand,'' Daly told the newspaper. "I don't know if he remembers that bet or not, but I'll get that

Manuel de la Torre, Dean of the 50 Best Teachers List, Passes Away at 94

By Matthew Rudy A select few teachers have been a part of every Golf Digest 50 Best Teachers ranking since the list's inception in 1999.Of that group, even fewer dedicated themselves to giving lessons to average players, beginners and juniors right along with active and aspiring professionals.Manuel de la Torre accomplished all of those things -- and vastly more -- in his nearly 90 years in the game. The legendary instructor passed away Sunday in Mequon, Wis., at the age of 94.Born in Spain to

By Nick Schwartz  Adam Scott became the latest (but almost certainly not the last) high-profile golfer to pull out of the Olympics this week, announcing that he plans to proritize his professional commitments instead of playing in the first Olympic golf tournament since 1904. Australia had been expected to field a team of world No. 1 Jason Day (who is still expected to play) along with No. 7 Scott, but the 2013 Masters champion confirmed what he had been warning since last year."It (an Olympic

Story About Tiger and Casey Martin Getting Food Poisoning in College

By Alex Myers Tiger Woods forged a lasting image of toughness with his victory at the 2008 U.S. Open.

But over a decade before, Tiger turned in another performance with a totally different type of ailment that his college teammates are still talking about.This Tiger tale came out of a conference call that included former Cardinal golfers Casey Martin, Notah Begay and Conrad Ray -- now

‘BEEF’ JOHNSTON PLANS TO ‘GET HAMMERED’ AFTER FIRST VICTORY

Do DeChambeau's Single-Length Irons Make Sense For Your Game?

By Mike Stachura In Golf Digest's April issue, we examined the single-length irons concept that is one of the many interesting aspects of Bryson DeChambeau's game:Before we get overly excited about hot-shot amateur and can’t-miss pro prospect Bryson DeChambeau’s idea to make all his irons the same length, let’s remember this:(a) The idea isn’t all that new.(b) No, you can’t just take your current irons and install shafts that are the same length and be like Bryson.(c) Though it has been tried

Similarities Between Spieth's Stunning Loss and Arnold Palmer's 1959 Defeat.

 By Golf Digest Naturally, there will be much worry about how Jordan Spieth’s stunning loss at the 80th Masters will affect his future as a champion. Will his quadruple bogey on the 12th hole that ultimately gave the tournament to Danny Willett seriously and even permanently damage the confidence that has been such an obvious part of the young Texan’s success?Well, consider the eerie similarities between what happened to Arnold Palmer at the 1959 Masters and Spieth last Sunday at Augusta.Like

Chamblee Sounded Note of Caution When Spieth Brought Instructor Back.

By John Strege Was Jordan Spieth summoning his instructor Cameron McCormick back to Augusta National after Saturday’s third round an ominous sign?  Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee sounded the alarm on Live From the Masters on Sunday morning.  “Having his teacher out here could prove to be beneficial,” Chamblee said. “Maybe they find the answer. But it also could prove to be taxing to him, thinking too much about his golf swing as this tournament unfolds.”As the final round of the Masters

Recalling The Modest Yet Outstanding Origins of the Trio Known As The Big 3

 By Dave Shedoski AUGUSTA, Ga. – On a cool, sunlit morning at the cathedral of golf, the Big 3 took a curtain call, and you couldn’t help but wonder if there will be another. It was glorious and poignant and bittersweet.  Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus struck ceremonial tee shots Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club to kick off the 80th Masters while the senior member of the long-celebrated trio, fragile and yet resolute Arnold Palmer, could do no more than look on as a spectator from a chair

Why I'm Picking Bryson DeChambeau, Golf's New superhero, to Win the Masters

 By Mike Stachura (Golf Digest) Sometimes it’s all about me. Truth be told, it has to do with Piaget’s stages of cognitive development (look it up on WebMD). So a lot of the way I relate to the world is as a 4-year-old. Which makes me a lot of fun -- or a complete jackass -- in staff meetings. (Editor's note: The latter.)Maybe that's why I think my formula for picking the winners of major championships is correct, even though the formula makes no sense and is always completely unsuccessful.

How Exactly Did Bubba Watson Hook That Wedge In The 2012 Masters?

By E. Michael Johnson Nearly four years after the 2012 Masters came to a conclusion there remains a fascination as to how Bubba Watson—one of the favorites for this year’s Masters—hooked a ball 40 yards with a 52-degree wedge from 144 yards with a modern golf ball? The answer is the shot that won Watson that Masters in a playoff was actually easier than most people think.Wait a minute. Hasn’t part of the argument of those claiming the modern ball (defined here as multilayer and urethane-covered)
