Daniel Berger is back on the PGA Tour after a long, mysterious, frustrating absence. So where'd he go — and what did he learn?

2009 Masters champion Angel Cabrera would be welcome back to Augusta National after serving prison time if he can obtain a visa to travel to the U.S.

On Thursday, LIV Golf announced a partnership with U.S. Integrity to monitor the betting market, educate its participants and use technology to spot improper gambling on its events.

The new Cleveland HB SOFT 2 putters are like the new kid in a family of overachievers.

They are under considerable pressure to be overachievers as well.

And you can make a compelling case that, for a family of overachievers, Cleveland putters are underrated. And underappreciated.

Sure, things went sideways with the unfortunate Smart Square putter in 2013. But since the original Huntington Beach Collection launch in 2016, Cleveland putters have been on a roll. They’ve traditionally fared well in MyGolfSpy testing with the HB SOFT Milled #1 taking top honors in last year’s Blade Putter category.

And the pricing was reasonable enough to make you wonder, “Scotty Who?”

Named after the Southern California city where a certain amateur golfer made his PGA Tour debut at Riviera CC.The Toulon Design Santa Monica features “Rolex” 904L steel and Toulon’s interpretation of the iconic head shape.Available Jan.18 at ToulonGolf.com with a MSRP of $1,800.

The latest Toulon Small Batch putter, the Santa Monica, showcases an iconic putter design but is also an example of one of professional golf’s enduring oddities.

As far as the putter goes, the Santa Monica is Toulon’s interpretation of PING’s classic Anser 2 design. It has all of the Anser 2 markings: thin topline, longer body, boxy edges and plumber’s neck. Naturally, there are tweaks that make the design uniquely Toulon-flavored.

As we all know, other companies have been interpreting the iconic Anser design in their own ways since the putter’s inception. That’s common knowledge, but not the oddity I’m referring to.

Have you noticed how golf companies are reticent to refer to actual people in their communications? Most of the time they reference players who use their gear in everything but name. How many times have you read something like the “U.S. Open champion” instead of the name of the tournament winner?

It’s akin to referring to the Super Bowl as “The Big Game.”

FootJoy has just revamped their popular Traditions golf shoe. The FootJoy Traditions Blucher is, as the name suggests, built like a Blucher shoe rather than the typical saddle-style Traditions.

But what the heck is a Blucher?

In short, it’s a dress shoe built with a single piece of leather for the vamp. It also features an open lacing system (if you need an example of a closed lacing system, look at the FJ Wilcox).

It’s often used interchangeably with “Derby”.

However you spin it, the new FootJoy Traditions Blucher is a clean, stylish addition to FJ’s lineup of golf shoes. Keep in mind that the changes here are purely cosmetic. The same lightweight foam midsole and Fast Twist 3.0 cleat system with Pulsar spikes are still here to ensure top-notch performance.

Patrick Cantlay, who has been at the forefront of the merger discussions with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund on the players' side, said it's a priority to position his fellow PGA Tour players for the future.

Two-time champion Bernhard Langer will make his final Masters start this April, the German said in a Golf Channel interview that aired on Wednesday.
