Bubba Watson threatened to start a golfing revolution that would likely have made him very unpopular with courses around the world when he debuted a golf hovercart. Watson and sunglasses manufacturer Oakley teamed up to develop the project, which saw a commercially available hovercraft converted into a golf cart. Oakley and Neoteric never intended to mass produce and sell the vehicles, but the viral video stunt was simply a PR exercise for Oakley, to show the limitations of current carts. That said, the video showed Watson zipping about on a golf course and having a real time of it. The…

PGA/LPGA TOUR Lydia Ko and partner Jason Day made a crucial birdie putt on the penultimate hole to hold off the hard-charging duo of Brooke Henderson and Corey Conners and win the Grant Thornton Invitational by one stroke over the Canadian pair.

On the par 5 17th, Ko’s approach shot from the fairway came within eight feet of the hole, setting up a birdie putt…
The golf swing is a means to end, but some demonstrate phenomenal grace and athleticism which highlights why elite golfers draw massive crowds to watch them play. Here we look at five players with swings that could be hanging in the Louvre. Ernie Els They didn’t call him the Big Easy for no reason and Ernie Els’ swing doesn’t get the love it deserves from golf fans. Els seems to be swinging at no more than 75 percent power regardless of the club he’s using. Of course, the trajectory of the ball suggests otherwise; despite some recent distance loss, Els…

Jon Rahm is still going to be the subject of much discussion in the weeks and months to come after he signed with LIV Golf in a deal purported to be worth as much as £450million. Rahm admitted that he found the PGA Tour’s dealing with the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund were a distraction from his golf. He concedes to knowing little about the potential deal between the seemingly warring bodies. “I can’t speak on what I don’t know. I wish I knew more about where the framework stands,” Rahm told Fox News. “I’ve kept myself absent from all…
Jack Nicklaus, along with many other professionals and coaches, has always stressed the importance of a good grip in golf. In the clip below Nicklaus discusses the grip in a chat with aspiring golfers and makes it clear what they need to be doing.
