Hereās what weāve got for you today:
Scottie Scheffler Nelly Korda is unstoppable
Next week is Masters week!
Some amazing golf content for you
Nelly and Scottie are still en fuego š„ (but only Korda won again)
Last week, everyone was talking about the (incredible) back-to-back wins for Scottie. (And the back-to-back #2 spots by Wyndham Clark.)
We also wrote about how Nelly Korda took nearly two months off her last win, came back to win her second tourney in a row.
NELLY KORDA. THREE STRAIGHT WINS. UNSTOPPABLE.

Well, another week and two more tournaments for both world #1s. Scottie barely missed a playoff, coming in 2nd place in Houston.
Congrats to Stephan Yaeger for fending off Scheffler to take home the W.
Scottie didnāt do himself any favors, Texas. For one, he broke two streaks he had running ā rounds under par (28 rounds) and # of holes without a double bogey (218 holes!).
Both ended on the same day. One with a brutal 3 putt you can watch here:
Here are stories about Scottieās streaks ending and Kordaās incredible run:
Hard not to get excited about the Masters
Next week, we have one of the biggest weeks in professional golf. Honestly, it was the best golf we had last year, in our humble opinion.
Why?
Well, it was the first big tournament where LIV players and PGA players battled it out.
It had controversy, intrigue, competitiveness, chips on shoulders, and most of all ā great golf.
Couldnāt write the story any better.
One of the best players at LIV, with a reputation and attitude ā Brooks Koepka. And he was up against one of the best up-and-coming stars of the PGA, Jon Rahm.
In the end, the PGA won the battle before LIV ended up winning Rahm.
Plus, crazy Phil ended up tied in number 2 spot with Koepka (and others).
Thankfully, good golf has been back on the menu a couple of times this year (after a bunch of duds, honestly).
Now, itās time for the 2024 season to ramp up in Augusta (plus, LIVās next tourney is coming up soon).
Letās hope for some good golf.
On Augusta, many pros were asked how much theyād pay to get a coveted membership at the club.
Their answers were interesting, check it out here:
So, how much would you pay to join Augusta? |
Around the links (great golf content this week)
Bryson Dechambeau played with an old, rolled-back golf ball and had some very interesting results.
Sean Ogle (of Breaking Eighty) recorded a video covering some fantastic tips if you happen to get a chance to go to the Masters. (Spoiler: itās a good video, even if you donāt have tickets.)
