Jon Rahm's LIV Golf League debut did come with a big paycheck from a team victory, but it wasn't quite the performance many expected from the Masters champ.

We test & review PXG Black Ops drivers, fairway woods and hybrids to find out how they can add speed, distance and consistency off the tee.

For Callaway, Feb. 2, 2024, was more than just Groundhog Day.

It represents a stake-in-the-ground moment for their flagship golf ball franchise.

The new Chrome Tour golf balls have hit retail shelves.

Callaway says the names are different because the products are different. Sure, but to understand how we got here and why the change matters, we need to rewind almost 10 years to the original Chrome Soft.

Today, PUMA announced the latest iteration of what’s become a mainstay of their vast lineup of collaborations: PUMA Golf x Palm Tree Crew.

After banging out three slick collabs in 2023, it’s only right to start off 2024 with something special. As a self-proclaimed member of the Palm Tree Crew (my closet definitely gives off those vibes), I’m always excited to see what PUMA Golf is cooking up with the folks from PTC.

Here’s what you need to know about the latest collab.

The tagline for the newest collection is “Hustle Hard. Relax Easy.”

That laidback sentiment vibrates throughout the collection. Laden with palm trees and whimsical patterns, the new PUMA Golf x PTC collection personifies the tropical lifestyle.

After 54 holes of play, the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is over and reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark has been declared the winner.

Joaquin Niemann won his first LIV Golf title Sunday, outlasting Sergio Garcia well after sunset Sunday in the season-opening stop at Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, telling reporters afterward, "I'm pretty happy that the day ended up this way."

Wyndham Clark made 190 feet of putts at hallowed Pebble Beach en route to a course-record, 12-under 60 and the third-round lead at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

With heavy rain and high winds in the forecast in Pebble Beach, the PGA Tour is preparing for the possibility of a 54-hole finish, which would give third-round leader Wyndham Clark the victory.

Dylan Frittelli won his first European tour event in more than six years after making three birdies in his last six holes for a 2-stroke victory at the Bahrain Championship.

A day after Joaquin Niemann shot 59, he had to settle for a 1-under 70 on Saturday and leads Jon Rahm and Dean Burmester by 4 shots entering the final round of the LIV season opener.

Joaquin Niemann's bogey-free round of 59 included 10 birdies and a holed-out eagle on the par-4 11th at Mayakoba.

Scottie Scheffler couldn't miss from the fairway and made his share of putts at Pebble Beach. The result was a 64 that gives him a share of the lead with Ludvig Aberg and Thomas Detry.

Carl Weathers, who played nemesis-turned-ally Apollo Creed in the "Rocky" movies and taught golf in "Happy Gilmore," has died at the age of 76.

Bernhard Langer tore his Achilles tendon while exercising and had surgery Friday, putting the 66-year-old German out of golf during a year he planned to play the Masters one last time.

The MyGolfSpy staff thinks I’m crazy.

That might be true, but I’m nonetheless willing to die on this hill: golfers shouldn’t get free relief from fairway divots. 

Before I make my case—and before you come at me with sharpened bunker rakes—let me make a clarification. 

I’m talking about the USGA and R&A Rules of Golf. This is purely about the technical application, whether in a competitive setting or for any golfer who wants to adhere to the rulebook. 

If you are one of the millions of golfers who enjoys the game purely for fun—and I count myself as one of them—I’m not judging you for taking your ball out of a divot. Go for it.

Normally we cover a range of topics on AskMyGolfSpy but today we’re focusing on the new Titleist AVX golf ball. 

Q: What does “AVX” stand for?  

The original story is that the AVX was designed to be an Alternative to the Pro V1 and Pro V1x.  

Q: Why did Titleist change the cover on AVX?  

In a word, I think it comes down to capacity. Part of what we haven’t discussed much this year is that Titleist plans to lean into Left Dash more than ever. That means continuing to increase awareness and ramping up production so that it’s nearly as easy to find as Pro V1 and Pro V1x (both of which need to stay on shelves). 

Depending on the product, Kirkland golf gear has performed well or not so well in our testing. 

Having said that, one of the items we swear by is the Kirkland golf glove. As the reigning value champ (for four years running), it’s obviously tough to beat its combination of performance and price. 

But … a challenger approaches. 

Sam’s Club has entered the golf space.

Welcome to what I’m dubbing “Battle of the Bulk.” Can the new Member’s Mark golf gloves dethrone our current value champ? 

In a region steeped in golf history, no course has deeper roots than a modest layout just up the road from Pebble Beach Golf Links.
