Earlier this year, Jordan Brand reimagined its golf lineup with the introduction of a new “flagship” golf shoe, the Air Rev.
A $280 golf shoe with the “latest” and “greatest” tech.
More like a $280 flop.
After spending some time playing in the Jordan Air Rev, I can confidently say two things:
What I reported in my initial article (which I was flamed for, by the way) was correct, and secondly, that this is the worst golf shoe I’ve personally worn this year.
Grant Horvat recently dropped a video where he tried to beat Tommy Fleetwood, starting at 5 under par. If you like a good golf match, go ahead and watch it. However, if you’re like me and want to learn from professionals about their game, their mindset and how they got to where they are, this video offers something even better.
My favorite part is a moment where Fleetwood talks candidly about hitting a low point in his career and the drill that helped rebuild his swing from the ground up.
In the middle of the round, Fleetwood reflects on a difficult stretch during his career. Around 2015 or 2016, he says, things completely unraveled. He felt like the biggest issue was off the tee. He even admits he developed the driver yips.
Instead of hiding it, Fleetwood speaks honestly about the struggle and how he reached out to his childhood coach, Alan Thompson, in search of answers. What followed was a total swing rebuild that started with one simple concept.
To rebuild his swing, Fleetwood didn’t chase new technology or complex mechanics. His coach gave him a straightforward drill that removed most variables: stand extra wide, keep the arms straight, eliminate the wrists and rotate the body to hit the ball.
Editor’s Note: This story includes spoilers of Happy Gilmore 2, which came out on Netflix on July 25.
If you’re a millennial golfer like me, you probably grew up watching Happy Gilmore.
On the list of quotable golf movies, Happy Gilmore trails only Caddyshack. It’s the kind of movie that aged well enough to where my friends and I would throw it on randomly—even decades after its 1996 release.
One of the reasons it gained such traction was that Happy Gilmore did not try to simulate golf in any real sense. It’s so far beyond unrealistic that it crosses well into the absurd.
Like many Adam Sandler movies, it’s juvenile and the plot is teeming with holes. You aren’t watching for the plot or cinematography. It’s a time to turn your brain off and laugh at the ridiculousness of the proceedings.
We found another popular golf question making the rounds on Reddit: Why is golf so hard? Is it the swing? The mental game? The chaos of trying to hit a perfect shot on imperfect ground? Hundreds of golfers weighed in with their takes. Some were funny, some brutally honest, and many painfully relatable. Below, we’ve pulled together the most common reasons people say golf is so difficult. What did they miss?
Golf is not just about trying not to hit bad shots. The bad shots are coming. It’s how you handle them and what it does to your mindset. Redditors pointed out that most players turn one bad swing into a disaster hole or a disaster round.
One of the biggest issues that makes golf so challenging is that the average golfer doesn’t practice regularly. When they do, they practice the wrong things. Players hit 40 drives and call that a practice session instead of adding pressure and creating realistic on-course conditions.
One comment was:
“They hit 15 range balls, then shove down a hot dog and a beer at the turn, and wonder why they’re not breaking 90.”
It was a strong month for Bryson DeChambeau and Grant Horvat. DeChambeau grabbed multiple spots with course record attempts and challenges while Horvat stayed busy with collabs, scrambles and a few standout moments of his own.

There’s been a lot of talk about Bryson DeChambeau this month. There have been a few viral videos of him on the golf course. Love him or hate him, DeChambeau knows how to find the viewers, and his breaking 50 video with Adam Sandler is one of the most successful yet.

Golf, often referred to as the gentleman's game, has a rich history filled with iconic tournaments and the coveted trophies that represent victory and excellence. These trophies are more than just awards; they are symbols of enduring legacy, incredible skill, and unforgettable moments in the sport. Each trophy tells a story of triumph, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
The Claret Jug, officially known as the Golf Champion Trophy, is awarded to the winner of The Open Championship, one of the four major championships in professional golf. Its distinctive claret wine jug design makes it instantly recognizable. First presented in 1873, it replaced the original Challenge Belt.
The Claret Jug embodies the spirit of traditional links golf and the oldest major championship. Winning this trophy signifies a golfer's mastery over the challenging conditions of the Open courses and places them in an elite club of champions.
While not a traditional trophy, the Green Jacket awarded to the winner of the Masters Tournament is arguably the most iconic symbol of victory in golf. It signifies membership in the exclusive Augusta National Golf Club and is presented to the champion each year.
The tradition of the Green Jacket began in 1937, with members of Augusta National wearing them so patrons could easily identify them. The winner of the Masters gets to keep the jacket for one year and must return it to Augusta National before the next tournament.

Evnroll has added three new zero-torque putters to their ZERO putter line. Two of them are new zero-torque versions of their popular Neo Classics ER5 Hatchback model. The third addition is a center-shafted version of the Z1 zero-torque mallet released last summer.
Naturally, the new zero-torque ZERO models are packed with Evnroll’s assistive technologies such as their distance and dispersal correcting SweetFace grooves.
One might think that the release of only three new models is not that significant. I can see where that thought comes from but, in this case, that is incorrect.
With full confidence, I believe two of these putters are Evnroll’s best zero-torque putters to date.
Evnroll was an early zero-torque adopter. Their ERZ mallet debuted back in 2022, touting a “Face Forward” design scheme. “Face Forward” was how Evnroll described the behavior of this new zero-torque design.
When new drivers hit the shelves, most professional golfers upgrade. But not everyone on the PGA Tour follows that script. Just ask Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler … and Sam Burns. These players have remained loyal to their trusted models long after new ones became available.
In Burns’s case, it’s especially notable. While he’s quietly putting together a strong 2025 season, he’s still gaming the same driver he’s had in the bag for nearly two years.
Burns has had a consistent year. Through 21 events, he’s made 18 cuts, posted 10 top-25 finishes and earned more than $4.5 million.
His most notable performance was a runner-up at the RBC Canadian Open, highlighted by a final-round 62.
Statistically, his success is largely thanks to his putter. He ranks second in Strokes Gained putting and 15th in putts per round.
