Anthony Kim still getting used to being on a LIV Golf team but makes a flying start with a 67 in his 4Aces debut at LIV Golf Adelaide

Chris Gotterup extended his streak to nine straight birdies over two rounds on two very different courses. He ultimately settled for an 8-under 64 on Thursday in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, leaving him two behind Ryo Hisatsune on a day of…

Why Your Mind is the 15th Club in Your Bag Golf is often described as a sport played on a five-inch course—the distance between your ears. While a smooth swing and precise putting are essential, your ability to handle pressure, maintain focus, and bounce back from a "blow-up" hole ultimately dictates your scorecard. Mastering the

Alright, fellow Duffer Nation. Tyler Reed here, back in the digital pages of The Daily Duffer. Today, I want to talk about something crucial, something that often gets lost in the glossy marketing campaigns and promises of extra yards: effective equipment testing and, more importantly, how that translates into real-world performance for *you*. I recently came across a mission statement from an organization that resonated deeply with my own philosophy, stating its goal was to “shed light on the confusing world of golf equipment.” And let me tell you, that world can be incredibly confusing. With every new driver promising…

Hisatsune’s Pebble Moment: When Youth, Confidence, and Perfect Conditions Align I’ve been covering professional golf for thirty-five years, and I’ve learned that certain tournaments reveal themselves in interesting ways. The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am always does this—the rotation between three courses, the celebrity amateurs, the unpredictable February weather. But what happened on Thursday in the opening round tells a story that goes well beyond one young man shooting 10-under par, impressive as that 62 truly is. Ryo Hisatsune is 23 years old and has played exactly two weeks on the PGA Tour before walking onto the practice range at Pebble…

Hisatsune’s Brilliance Masks a Troubling Trend at Pebble Beach After 35 years of watching professional golf—and having spent a good chunk of those years on the bag for Tom Lehman—I’ve learned that the most interesting stories at any tournament aren’t always about the guy leading. Sure, Ryo Hisatsune’s 10-under 62 is eye-catching. It absolutely is. But what really caught my attention on Day One of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was what happened to the names conspicuously absent from the early leaderboard. Let me start with the obvious: Hisatsune, the 23-year-old Japanese sensation, produced one of those performances that reminds…

Hello, Daily Duffer readers! Sarah Chen here, and I’m excited to dive into a topic that’s often overlooked but incredibly impactful for your golf swing: the movement of your trail leg during the downswing. We just saw Justin Rose, fresh off his PGA Tour victory at the Farmers Insurance Open, showcase incredible consistency, and a recent interview with his coach, GOLF Top 100 Teacher Mark Blackburn, gave us a fascinating look into one of his key swing thoughts. What we learned can absolutely help you improve your ball striking and rotation. For years, I’ve taught golfers of all levels that…

Wyndham Clark’s 60 at Pebble Beach Reminds Us Why This Game Still Captivates There’s a moment that happens maybe once every few years in professional golf when you witness something so purely excellent that it transcends the typical tournament narrative. Wyndham Clark’s 12-under 60 at Pebble Beach last year was exactly that kind of moment—and what makes it even more remarkable is how it unfolded against a backdrop of frustration that, frankly, many casual fans completely missed. I’ve been covering this tour for 35 years, and I’ve seen some spectacular rounds. I caddied for Tom Lehman back in the day,…
