The Player Impact Program (PIP), which was first introduced in 2020-21, is intended to reward players who create interest and income for the Tour. As divisive as it is the PIP does help reward players who bring something to the tour other than elite performance.

Rory McIlroy has received a $15 million (£12 million) payout after topping the PGA Tour’s Player Impact Programme (PIP)…
Popular golf influencer Paige Spiranac has another handy episode of Just the Tip where she sets out to help viewers hit the perfect fade.

We must preface this whole thing by saying that golf is better when you play with enough clubs in your bag, and we feel that a starter player should aim to have at least ten clubs in their bag.

Cameron Smith hasn’t made any surprise additions to his bag for the string of home events he has signed up for on the DP World Tour. Smith didn’t have a great defence of the Australian PGA Championship missing the cut at the Royal Queensland Golf Club. However, he remains among the best players in the world and there is quite a bit we can learn from what’s in his bag. Smith has a bag that is dominated by Titleist clubs but he does have a few interesting deviations. He favours the TS3 driver because it allows for lower spin and…
Nelly Korda is nearly a year into her twin deals with TaylorMade and Nike which announced her as a major influence on golf’s brand wars – some two years after her maiden Major success alerted the golfing world to her immense potential.
