U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley said Wednesday having 10 of the 12 team members playing in the Procure Championship this week has led to a closer team.

Two automatic spots from continental Europe, Friday four-balls, and other tweaks would in no way undermine the purpose of the biennial matches.

Tyrrell Hatton celebrated qualifying for Europe's Ryder Cup team with an "aggressive, messy" boozy night that ended with him waking up covered in his own vomit.

In July, we told you about Titleist’s plans to open its first U.S. retail destination at Pinehurst. Today, the doors are officially open and the location couldn’t be more fitting. The Titleist Shop at Pinehurst sits just steps from the iconic 18th green of Pinehurst No. 2, surrounded by some of the most celebrated golf real estate in America.

Located at the former Don Padgett Learning Center on Pinehurst’s main campus, the shop is set in the heart of what many consider the cradle of American golf. You’re within walking distance of the main clubhouse, The Cradle short course, Thistle Dhu putting course and Maniac Hill—Pinehurst’s historic driving range that was one of the game’s first practice facilities.

More than just a pro shop

What sets this apart from your typical resort pro shop is the comprehensive fitting experience. More specifically, a comprehensive Titleist fitting experience. The shop features golf ball and golf club fitting capabilities, leveraging Titleist’s full product lineup along with its proprietary fitting tools like the Golf Ball Fitting App and Vokey Wedge Fitting App.

The indoor Trackman-powered fitting bay ensures year-round fitting capability regardless of weather conditions while Pinehurst’s state-of-the-art practice facilities provide the outdoor testing ground for dialing in your equipment.

But the centerpiece might be what Titleist calls “the most advanced on-demand golf ball customizer” available. Golfers can add custom logos or personalized text to their golf ball of choice, which gets printed on-site in real time. The logo library includes 11 unique Pinehurst designs, complete with custom Titleist and Pinehurst co-branded packaging. There’s even a new AIM (Alignment Integrated Marking) design available on select models, inspired by Pinehurst’s iconic Putter Boy.

Of all the questions golf professionals get asked, one of the hardest to answer is how far to stand from the golf ball. The truth is that the distance changes depending on the club you have in your hands. A sand wedge requires you to stand closer than a driver, and even between irons, the spacing shifts slightly.

On top of that, every golfer’s swing and dynamic impact position is different so there’s no single “perfect” measurement anyone can hand you.

I’ve always found that the better strategy is to learn the signs that you’re not standing the right distance and make the small adjustments you need accordingly. Below are six of the most common indicators that your stance is off along with simple ways to get back into the right position.

1. Your arms feel jammed or locked out

When you’re the wrong distance from the golf ball, one of the easiest things to notice is how your arms feel at address. Standing too close makes your arms feel crowded, with your hands brushing your legs and your elbows tucked unnaturally. Standing too far forces your arms to feel rigid or locked out which robs you of rhythm and power.

Every golfer’s body is built differently. Players with longer arms may look like they’re reaching more while shorter-armed players may appear closer to the ball.

The price of most newly released hybrids in 2025 is about $300. For golfers who carry two or even three hybrids, that adds up fast. While true budget options are hard to find, a handful of models under $300 still managed to perform well in our testing. Here are three standouts that prove you don’t always have to pay top dollar for solid hybrid performance.

Ben Hogan PTX Max Hybrid ($199)

The Ben Hogan PTX Max quietly turned in one of the most balanced scorecards in our 2025 Hybrid Test. Accuracy, distance and forgiveness all came in at 8.6. It may not dominate in any one category but the consistency is hard to ignore, especially for $199.

Sub 70 959X Hybrid ($229)

Sub 70 has built its reputation on direct-to-consumer value and the 959X is another example of why. With an overall score of 8.6, it performed nearly identically to the Hogan but leaned slightly toward distance over forgiveness. At $229, it offers performance that rivals bigger names at a slightly lower price.

Are you always walking off the course saying something like: “If I just didn’t make that double … or that triple … I would’ve had a great round!”?

Every golfer hits bad shots. Your swing isn’t perfect. It’s not one bad swing that ruins your round. It’s what happens after the bad swing.

Blow-up holes aren’t about mechanics; they’re about response and preparation. If you don’t have a plan for what to do when things go wrong, you’ll start compounding mistakes. That’s when doubles, triples and worse show up on the card.

Here are three things I would recommend doing if you want to stop being “one hole away” from your best round.

1. Control yourself. Don’t chase after mistakes.

There’s a pattern that leads to most blow-up holes. You tug a drive left, end up under a tree and immediately think, “I’ll fix this with one big swing.” Or you miss a short putt and decide to “get it back” on the very next tee.

Around this time of the year, we like to take stock of how YouTube golf channels are performing.

The short summary: these 10 channels are killing it.

We’ve broken down the viewership numbers from the last 365 days—so this includes Q4 from 2024 as well—to find what golfers are watching. Each channel is sorted by percentage viewership increase (compared to the previous year) to show their popularity spike.

I think my main takeaway is that personality matters. Likability matters. Comedy matters.

You used to be able to win just by being active. Not anymore—the competition is too deep.

Ginnico Fairway Wood (1)

Introducing Ginnico Fairway Wood by Eon Sports Japan.

For many golfers, the fear of a slice or hook to the left can really get in the way of a good swing. But what if you could forget about that worry and just focus on hitting a solid shot? That’s the idea behind the new Ginnico Fairway Wood. This club is designed to help you play with more confidence and stop thinking so much about where the ball might go wrong.

The Ginnico Fairway Wood is crafted with the same new Ti-HEG titanium face material found in their drivers, which is engineered to provide a soft feel at impact and excellent distance off the tee or from the fairway. The club’s face structure is made to help produce a strong, penetrating ball flight with an emphasis on accuracy. This design works to generate optimal spin, allowing the ball to get up in the air without ballooning. The result is a more stable and controlled trajectory, even on powerful swings.

The Ginnico Fairway Wood offers extensive customization options, allowing golfers to fine-tune the club to their specific needs. The five-position adjustable weights make it possible to shift the club’s center of gravity, which can influence shot shape. Additionally, the adjustable hosel sleeve lets you fine-tune the loft, lie angle, and face angle to match your swing and preferred ball flight. The loft can be adjusted by up to +/- 1.5 degrees. With these features, golfers can easily dial in their settings to achieve their desired performance on the course.

With its focus on minimizing left-side misses and its extensive adjustability, the Ginnico Fairway Wood is designed to help golfers find the fairway and play with more freedom.
