Jack Nicklaus said Tuesday he was surprised Rory McIlroy decided to skip the Memorial for the first time since 2017 and that he hasn't spoken to him since McIlroy won the Masters.

Ole Miss junior Michael La Sasso won the NCAA men's title and helped send the Rebels into the team portion of the championship.

I don’t think there’s an official list of the greatest golf and golf-adjacent collaborations of all time but if there were, COBRA and Chipotle teaming up to serve fresh accessories would crack the top five.

If nothing else, it’s better than the last (and probably only) golf x local fast food Mexican joint collab. Remember that time Callaway put Taco Bell logos on a Chrome Soft? Some dude is selling those for $150 each on eBay.

Anyway, the background here, beyond burritos being awesome, is that COBRA staffer Max Homa is a huge Chipotle fan so why not, I guess, celebrate that with a headcover that looks like a foil-wrapped burrito and a shag bag that looks loosely like a Chipotle to-go bag?

It’s peak sponsor relationship goals

Look, we’ve all been there. You mention in passing that you really love something (often irrationally). Maybe it’s your favorite coffee shop, an obscure sock brand or a rain jacket from a company nobody knows how to pronounce. Your friends nod politely and move on. But if you’re Max Homa and you mention Chipotle, COBRA says, “Hold our guac.”

Most guys get fitted for a new driver and call it a day. Homa gets a full COBRA deal AND gets his burrito obsession turned into golf accessories that he’ll reportedly debut at the Memorial Tournament.

Teaser season (AKA: TZR SZN) is officially upon us.

Last week, Titleist kicked off the tour seeding and validation process for its upcoming T-Series irons. Now it’s PING’s turn to drop breadcrumbs about what’s presumably coming next—the i240 irons and something called the iDi.

PING i240 Irons

The i240 will almost certainly prove to be the replacement for the i230, and if PING’s history is any indication, we’re looking at another PING iron that punches well above its weight class.

PING’s i-series has always occupied an interesting middle ground. It bridges the gap between the company’s true tour offerings (now the Blueprint series) and its players distance (i530) and game-improvement (G440) irons. What makes the i-series compelling is that it works for a surprisingly broad range of golfers—anywhere from elite players down to low double-digit handicappers.

The i230 is one of those rare irons that fits more players than its profile might suggest. While we’re still waiting for PING to spill the details on what improvements they’ve made, the company is keeping things characteristically close to the vest while their tour staff puts the new sticks through their paces.

In life and in golf equipment, I firmly believe the Walt Whitman/Ted Lasso Credo applies.

Be curious, not judgmental.

However, when I walked into Golftec in Danvers, Mass., earlier this month, my mind was made up. I booked a mini driver fitting, and I wasn’t leaving without one.

My plan was simple: I’d dump both my driver and 3-wood, crank my 5-wood down to 16 degrees and open up a course-specific slot in my bag. It was a sound plan and it worked right up until the part where we applied the Earl Weaver Corollary to the Walt Whitman/Ted Lasso Credo:

It’s what you learn after you know it all that really counts.

Have you ever wondered if your golf ball can go bad from repeated use? That’s what Ian T. was wondering when he asked us this:

How many strikes of the golf ball until it doesn’t perform the same as new? I’ve played 2.5 rounds (9 holes) with the same ball (kinda proud of that one) and is it still performing the same as a brand-new ball?

Hey, Ian T., yes, it’s probably still performing like new.

A lot of the thinking behind golf balls going bad, losing performance, whatever, is likely a remnant of the balata days where balls would eventually go out of round after repeated use.

With modern solid core construction that doesn’t really happen. If your golf ball isn’t round, chances are it came out of the factory that way.

Will Zalatoris will miss the rest of the FedEx Cup season after undergoing another back surgery.

I’ll be honest—a lot of PGA Tour What’s In The Bag (WITB) articles are boring. Real boring.

This Ben Griffin WITB is far from that.

From a driver built with amateur forgiveness in mind (we’ve tested it, you can trust us) to a golf ball that’s probably cheaper than the one in your bag, Griffin just won for the second time on Tour in 2025. This time, he took home the trophy at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Here’s a complete look inside the bag that got the job done.

Limited-edition offerings have become an ever-growing part of the equipment industry’s playbook. Creating cool fun, or just alternative designs and updated colorways provides a hook for golfers who might have passed on the initial release or simply gives hardcore brand enthusiasts something new to lust after.

It’s in that spirit that Callaway has released the limited-edition Elyte Sandstorm drivers.

Didn’t love the stock Elyte but Sandstorm really speaks to me (said somebody, maybe … at least Callaway hopes).

Available in Elyte, Elyte TD and Elyte TD Max versions, the Sandstorm collection is similarly themed (though differently painted) to last season’s Paradym Ai Smoke Tactical Driver. I kinda liked the traditional green camo on that one and I have a growing suspicion that what might be reasonably described as military-themed limited editions may be part of Callaway’s playbook moving forward.

This time around, it’s a desert camo (aka Sandstorm) which I suppose is somewhere between dusty brown and khaki. The aesthetic is largely limited to the sole with just a splash of Sandstorm coloring on the crown by way of the Callaway logo on the standard Elyte along with the Elyte branding on the heel of each model.
