There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

If You Go Rogue, Should You Go Custom?

Today’s discussion may not resonate with some golfers. Being concerned about the looks of your golf gear may be a foreign concept. You just can’t wrap your head around being concerned about a golf club’s looks. Clubs are tools. Nothing more.

At 19 years, 25 days, Atthaya Thitikul is the youngest winner on the LPGA Tour since Brooke Henderson in the 2016 Portland Classic at 18 years, 9 months, 23 days.

Six weeks after his first PGA Tour victory, Scottie Scheffler beat Kevin Kisner at the Dell Technologies Match Play for his third title in his past five starts, this one enough to move him to No. 1 in the world.

Chad Ramey won the windswept Corales Puntacana Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title, beating Ben Martin and Alex Smalley by a stroke.

Scotland's Ewen Ferguson finished his final round with a flourish to secure victory at the Qatar Masters at Doha Golf Club on Sunday.

Florida Atlantic softball coach Joan Joyce, the only coach in the program's 28-year history, who also was a golfer on the LPGA Tour for 17 years, died Saturday at age 81.

Scotland's Ewen Ferguson shot a composed final-round 70 in windy conditions to finish at seven-under overall and claim his maiden European Tour title at the Qatar Masters on Sunday.

Nanna Koerstz Madsen shot a 3-under 69 and will take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the JTBC Classic.

Ben Martin shot a 2-under 70 on Saturday to hold onto a two-shot lead in the PGA Tour's Corales Puntacana Championship.

Kevin Kisner twice rallied from 3 down to beat Adam Scott and reach the Match Play quarterfinals, while Abraham Ancer only needed 12 holes to advance.

“Growing the game.” It’s a tired, overworked phrase. And I’m not entirely sure people really understand what it means.

Yeah, the game is experiencing a resurgence. Equipment companies, golf courses, retailers and teaching pros are all riding the COVID wave. Both the National Golf Foundation and the R&A are reporting impressive growth in participation and record-breaking numbers of rounds played.

Keeping that momentum rolling, however, will be the challenge. Part of it, of course, is making sure as many of the “new” golfers as possible stick with the game once the newness wears off.

The second part is keeping the pipeline filled with juniors.

Right now, that pipeline appears to be brimming. There’s The First Tee, of course. And there are plenty of private and public junior programs out there. But John Breaker, founder, inventor and guiding spirit of Birdie Ball, sees another avenue that could very well introduce the game on a completely separate level while helping kids have more fun in the process.

Nanna Koerstz Madsen shot a 5-under 67 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead in the JTBC Classic in a bid to win in consecutive starts.

Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa were among the 16 golfers to advance to the weekend at the Match Play. The biggest surprise? Richard Bland of England, who at 49 is the oldest player in the field and the No. 54 seed this week.

Ben Martin leads the PGA Tour's Corales Puntacana Championship after a second straight 6-under 66.

PUMA and Kygo’s Palm Tree Crew brand have partnered again.For the first time, COBRA is offering limited-edition putters to complement its LE drivers.The apparel collection is casual yet trendy.The PUMA X PTC Collection is available now.

I don’t quite understand the fascination in trendy circles with collabs. Maybe it’s because I’m old and maybe it’s because Chris Nickel’s MGS X RiFF RAFF idea hasn’t panned out (yet). Nevertheless, cross-pollination of brands—as is the case with Version 2 of PUMA X PTC—isn’t going to go away anytime soon. So I suppose we should try and embrace it.

Officially—as much as a headline is official—the 2022 PUMA X Palm Tree Crew collection is about “blending golf, sport, music and lifestyle into a chic collection designed to perform on the course and make a statement off of it.”

Isn’t golf is a sport? That small redundancy aside, I get it.

If some of this is lost on you, what you need to know is that Palm Tree Crew is the lifestyle brand of DJ, songwriter and record producer Kygo. If you’re not familiar with Kygo (and I wasn’t before the first collab launched last year), a quick YouTube search will bring you up to speed.
