The post Tour Confidential: Presidents Cup mismatch, LIV recruiting, Augusta changes appeared first on Golf.

Check in every week for the unfiltered opinions of our writers and editors as they break down the hottest topics in the sport, and join the conversation by tweeting us @golf_com. This week, we break down the Presidents Cup, LIV’s recruiting tactics, changes to Augusta National’s 13th hole and more.  

1. It’s officially Presidents Cup week, as the Americans take on the Internationals at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C. The U.S. has dominated the series. Any reason to think that won’t be the case again this year?  

News

Alan Bastable, executive editor (@alan_bastable): Well, even Adam Scott has called his team the “heaviest underdogs ever,” with Vegas giving the Yanks a roughly 90 percent chance of prevailing. So, yeah, it looks bad on paper. Real bad. But…match play! Sports! Anything can happen, right? If the Internationals can avoid being overwhelmed by the scope of the task at hand — winning 17.5 points — and instead take each match as it comes, who knows what could happen. We’ve seen otherwise overmatched Davids with hot putters take down Goliaths before, and we’ll see it again. It’s been a weird year in golf. Perhaps the weirdness will continue. That said, yeah, it’s also quite possible the matches will be decided before we get to singles.  

Dylan Dethier, senior writer (@dylan_dethier): Sure, why not?! If we don’t think the Internationals have any chance, there’s not much point, so I’ve talked myself into +750 being an extremely intriguing number for the away team. And the course actually fits a bunch of the International squad pretty well. Quail Hollow favors big hitters and specifically guys who are good with mid- to long-irons in their, while there’s less emphasis on chipping and putting. Adam Scott, Hideki Matsuyama, Sungjae Im, Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith, Cam Davis, Mito Pereira, etc. — these guys can all hit it where they’re looking. And this is sports! Let’s see how their best stuff stacks up.

Luke Kerr-Dineen, Game Improvement Editor (@LukeKerrDineen): Almost exactly no reason. The weaker team on paper lost more of their players than the stronger team. Sure, the U.S. won’t have Dustin Johnson, who may be the hottest player in golf right now. But the depth of their team means they won’t be losing sleep over it. Crazier things have happened, but the Internationals will need a Rocky IV-style upset to pull this one off.

2. Much of the conversation around the event will likely be about which players aren’t there, guys like Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith, among others. As the first team event without LIV players included, how do you anticipate that changes the mood or excitement level around it? 

News

Bastable: The LIV factor will undoubtedly dominate the conversation early in the week, just as it has at virtually every other tournament this year. How can it not, what with the event being defined almost as much by the players who aren’t there as the ones who are. Take the International team’s absentees alone: Cameron Smith, Charl Schwartzel, Abraham Ancer, Louis Oosthuizen, Marc Leishman, and on and on. Brutal losses all. You can’t blame Capt. Immelman for feeling like he got dealt a pair of 2s vs. his opponent’s full house. By Thursday, though, the attention will inevitably shift to the competition, and it’ll be fun, as ever, to see how some of the more unheralded players respond to the pressure.

Dethier: The event’s profile gets some sort of short-term boost from the chaos and controversy around who should be included and who shouldn’t. But there’s no question it’s a less interesting team dynamic without Brooks and Bryson vying for captain’s picks and Cam Smith dropping daggers on the greens. Immelman made it explicitly clear in our conversation that pros leaving for LIV knew they’d be barred from the event. Still, it’s a clear effect of pro golf’s fractured existence.

LKD: I think the Presidents Cup should be honest about its need for a re-think after this. The lesser of the two team events already, if this continues, it simply isn’t a sustainable path forward for an event that already struggles to punch through for wider relevance. If the majority of the conversation about a tournament is about who isn’t playing, you know there’s a problem.

3. ​​Name one U.S. and one International player who look primed for a breakout week.

Travel

Bastable: Excited to see match-play savant Kevin Kisner in action. Dude has been aching to play on a U.S. squad for years. I think he’ll embrace and rise to the moment. On the International side, fully expecting Tom Kim’s star to continue to ascend. Insanely good ball-striker, and also strikes me as a fun/jovial team-room guy.  

Dethier: Pendrith has quietly returned from injury to put together a run of some of the steadiest golf of anyone. He smashes the ball and is primed for a big-time week. On the U.S. side, Patrick Cantlay is playing as well as anybody — and it seems likely he and Xander Schauffele will each play every session.

LKD: Breakout? Max Homa seems primed to thrive in red, white and blue. And he’s playing well. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him run the table. As for the International team? How about Joohyung Kim. It’s a big stage for the young player with bundles of talent, and I think it’ll bring the best out of him.

4. David Puig, a senior at Arizona State, made his professional debut at LIV Golf Chicago this week, finishing TK. Puig turned pro while ranked as the No. 9 amateur in the world. Will the future of both the PGA Tour and LIV come down to where these top amateurs land?

News

Bastable: Even for the most accomplished college stars, there’s obviously no guaranteed route to the PGA Tour, so for up-and-comers looking to make a fast buck, LIV undoubtedly is an attractive option. I’m not sure how the PGA Tour can compete with that. Puig seemed off-put by the lack of opportunities (i.e., sponsor invites) he’s been awarded to play PGA Tour events. Those invites, the Spaniard noted, more often than not land in the laps of better connected U.S. players. There’s not an easy answer here for the Tour. It can’t lower the bar for entry, even for seemingly can’t-miss college studs. The Tour’s meritocratic qualifying system makes the Tour what it is. Gotta earn it.    

Dethier: To Alan’s point, there have been plenty of can’t-miss prospects who end up missing. But LIV can’t take all of ‘em under its current format. There are only 48 spots, after all. The question then becomes how LIV’s feeder structure works — and exactly how far down the depth chart they can send big-time guaranteed cash.

LKD: Not really. I’ve said this before, but I don’t think either tour’s future is at stake, at least for the next few years. What golf fans should brace for is the kind of messy reality we had in golf between the 1980s and 1990s, when half the world’s best were playing the European Tour and the other half in America. It was only the rise of Tiger Woods that consolidated professional golf stateside. With the GOAT receding from view as a player, that kind of two-pretty-strong-tours is what we’ll be returning to.

5. After much speculation and years of wondering, new photos show the addition of a new teeing ground on Augusta National’s famous par-5 13th. What are your thoughts on a lengthened 13th and how does that change the tournament?

Travel

Bastable: The change will have traditionalists wincing but c’est la vie. This is where we are with the professional game. I think in a perfect world the lengthening would make the hole 10-15 percent harder. Any more than that and 13 will lose its eagle-ability that makes it so much fun to watch. I do like that the new pushed-back tee appears to create a knee-knocking chute, a la the tee shot at 18. Good luck threading that corridor of pines with a one-shot lead on Sunday.

Dethier: I think it’s going to be awesome. Pros hitting big-time drives and then trying to flight high, soft fades off of hook lies onto that green? Yes please. I’ve watched enough Masters from the 70s, 80s and 90s to crave watching the pros take on that challenge. But that’s in a vacuum. If you zoom out, it’s problematic that golf’s most famous arena just keeps stretching, and stretching, and stretching; the distance debate can feel like golf’s version of climate change. A new-and-improved 13th hole is like a warm, sunny winter in New England. Sure, it represents an existential threat to humanity’s existence. But hey, how ‘bout that March golf? 

LKD: I love it, and can’t wait to see it. From the sky, the hole is giving me Harbour Town golf. Target golf at its very finest. Pull a driver and hit a tight draw round the corner. Hit the shot or go home.

6. Breaking an etiquette rule is not a crime but can subject you to recrimination. We crafted a list of the nine worst violations, ranked from least to most severe. What’s the one etiquette blunder that drives you the most nuts on the golf course? 

News

Bastable: My top three should also be everyone else’s top three: slow play, slow play and slow play. Absolute scourge on the game. A distant fourth: scraping up five-footers as if they’re kick-ins. Most maddeningly these self-appointed gimmes frequently come after said offender had just missed a putt from the same distance — as if they’d never miss two in a row from that range.

Dethier: You can learn a lot about someone from the way they treat their caddie. If a playing partner is rude to their looper, blames him or her for their own shortcomings, stiffs ‘em or generally treats ‘em like second-class citizens, I’ve seen what I need to see.

LKD: People stepping in my line on the green. You’re not just making the putt harder for me, you’re also just being really annoying. It’s like cutting somebody off on the road, or skipping in front of somebody in line. Or like those annoying people in airplanes who try to sneak down the aisle before it’s their row’s turn to stand up and leave. Either way, it’s rude, so don’t do it.

The post Has Augusta National finally lengthened its 13th hole? It sure looks that way appeared first on Golf.

Major changes are underway to the 13th hole at Augusta National, and thanks to the eagle eye of Eureka Earth, we now have an idea of where a new teeing ground will be on the famous par-5.

After the course shut down for its annual summer closure in May, work began on the 13th hole, which played as the third easiest hole at the 2022 Masters. Photos in June showed the clearing of trees and the digging of irrigation trenches, seemingly preparing for the placement of a new tee.

Now, it appears new sod is down as the club gets ready to reopen for the fall. Check out the photo below from Eureka Earth, which often publishes flyover photos of Augusta National.

The hole has historically played around 500 yards from the tournament tees, which is adjacent to the 12th green. In recent years, pros have been able to reach the par-5 in two with just a fairway wood and mid-iron, and some players have even blasted drivers over the trees on the left, covering the tributary to Rae’s Creek, which runs along the left side of the fairway and front of the green.

Travel

The club bought the land behind the 13th tee from neighboring Augusta Country Club in 2017.

Using the highly scientific method of eyeballing the placement of the tee on Google Earth based on the Eureka Earth photos, we’re estimating the new 13th hole could play to about 540 to 550 yards. A 300-yard drive from the new tee may not be long enough to get an unobstructed angle at the green.

Bobby Jones intended for going for the 13th green to be a “momentous decision,” but these days, players are seemingly losing strokes on the field who don’t try to reach the putting surface under regulation.

Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley said at this year’s Masters that there was still “no timetable” for changing the hole, but the club is famously tight-lipped when it comes to course changes.

While the club appeared to break ground on the 13th, as well as changes to its par-3 course, quickly this summer, there also appears to be some new technology going into the teeing ground.

Eureka Earth photos from August show what looks to be a hydronic system being used for the new tee.

Such a system could potentially be used to regulate the temperature of the turf, perhaps to prevent frost delays on chilly April mornings in Georgia.

A lengthening of 13 could be the second major change to the back nine par-5s in as many years, as the 15th hole was lengthened from 530 yards to 550 yards for this year’s tournament. The 15th played significantly harder in 2022 than in previous years with the added yardage as players often found themselves blocked out by the trees on the left.

We likely shouldn’t expect to hear anything about any changes from Augusta National until next spring, but you be sure Eureka Earth will continue to keep an eye out.

The post Here’s why John Daly is wearing a Masters logo at the Open Championship appeared first on Golf.

The post Here’s why John Daly is wearing a Masters logo at the Open Championship appeared first on Golf.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — John Daly had an eclectic mix of logos on his gray pullover in the first round of the Open Championship: Trump on his right sleeve, Ohio-based Wentz Financial Group on his right chest, California-based Mark Christopher Auto Center on his left chest.

There was one other emblem, too, emblazoned just above the auto center logo: that of the Masters Tournament.

Yes, that Masters Tournament.

This was curious for a couple of reasons: (1) Daly hasn’t played in a Masters since 2006; he does travel to Augusta during Masters week, but only to hawk merchandise in the Hooters parking lot on Washington Road, and (2) Augusta National, you might have heard, isn’t big on endorsement deals.

So, what gives? There’s a simple explanation.

News

“I bought this at Augusta,” Daly told GOLF.com after his opening 73 on the Old Course. “I don’t have a gray one, so I brought it over here with me.”

A gray top for the Old Grey Toon.

Daly said Sun Mountain, the golf apparel and bag manufacturer, typically provides him with his outerwear, but his latest order hadn’t arrived before he left for Scotland.

“They’re going to make me some more,” he said. “I’m just waiting on it.”

In the meantime, his Masters-themed pullover — albeit at the Open Championship — has been serving as a solid substitute.

“I like it,” he said with a laugh. “It’s comfortable.”

Daly isn’t the first major winner to wear a Masters-branded logo in competition. At the first LIV Golf event, in London, last month, Phil Mickelson wore a black Masters vest on the 1st tee, before a couple of holes later swapping it out for a non-logoed version.

Mickelson’s fashion statement was presumed to be some sort of non-verbal protest against the PGA Tour.

And Daly’s? He was just trying to stay warm.

Everything is changing in the world of golf these days, and it seems that even extends to Augusta National, where the 13th hole is under major construction. 

Thanks to the flyover folks at Eureka Earth, we have new photos of the 13th, taken earlier this week, that show dirt being moved in the fairway and the shaping of a potential new tee box much farther back. 

From above, it’s clear the fairway has been dug up, with a pipe trench extending through the middle of it toward the 14th tee. It’s unclear if the pipe had just been laid down or dug up. Augusta National does not comment on club operations. 

The bigger deal with the 13th hole is, of course, a potential new tee box. The golf world has opined on how to change this par-5, which plays as one of the easiest holes on the course (according to par) during the Masters each year. This year, it was the 3rd easiest, behind only the par-5s on the front nine, Nos. 2 and 8. 

No. 13 has been the subject of many questions lobbed at Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley in recent years. Just a couple months ago, at his annual press conference, Ridley was asked if the club had a timetable for changing the hole. 

“Yeah, I mean, there’s no timetable,” Ridley said. “Nothing to announce at this time. That’s something that certainly we have considered and will continue to consider.

“Admittedly, and I’ve said this before, the 13th hole does not have the same challenges that it has historically, and, I mean, I can just remember as a young guy watching the Masters, you know, some of the triumphs and tragedies. And while we still have those, the fact that players are hitting middle to short irons into that hole, you know, is not really how it was designed.”

Ridley is right about the club choices. Players often will hit 3-wood off the tee box, like Scottie Scheffler did this year, with the hole stretched to a total of just 510 yards. If they are able to bend it around the corner well, only about an 8-iron remains. There is no reason to take driver out of the bag, especially with the trees and pine straw out in the distance. 

Ridley admitted that the club’s hesitancy to change anything about the layout of the hole was because it’s “such an iconic hole” and one of the few where so much golf history has been made. But, he also admitted, “at some point in time, it’s something that we likely will do. We just don’t have anything to say about it right now.”

Well, it appears the club is now doing something about it.

Multiple photos from Eureka Earth show construction back beyond the teeing ground, and even a rectangular, white outline of what would sensibly be a new tee. According to those photos, a new tee would be roughly 30 yards or so behind the current teeing ground, which would force driver back into the hands of many players and turn offline drives into layups. Check out the photos below. 

What does this mean for the 2023 Masters? Again, it’s way too soon to tell. The club makes a habit of sharing course adjustments in its media guides each spring. That’s where we were first introduced to a lengthened 15th hole, which made its debut this April.

The 15th played more difficult than it has in decades this year, with an extra 20 yards in total length, to reach 550 from the championship tees. All that meant was that players could not squeeze past the trees that jut into the left side of the fairway, nor could they sting iron shots between them for an approach that would hold the green. Instead, players found themselves hitting hybrids into the 15th green, or laying up for their second shots into a tricky, downhill third shot. As a result, not a single eagle was made on the 15th this year, and the hole played to an average of 4.9329 strokes. 

All of that, and the photos above, speak to the abilities of Augusta National to adjust its course to the demands of the modern game, but also to do it on its own schedule. Don’t look for official word from the club until next spring. Until then, follow Eureka Earth for those long-range airplane shots. And watch this video about them below.

The post Augusta National’s *other* course appears to be getting a major makeover  appeared first on Golf.

It’s a tradition unlike any other: tweaking Augusta National during the off season.

This time, though, it’s not the big course that’s getting work.

Bird’s-eye photos, posted on Twitter this week by the aerial imaging company Eureka Earth, show Augusta’s Par-3 Course (yes, the little track gets capitalized spelling) undergoing what appears to be a major overhaul, its turf torn up, exposing a rumpled swath of reddish-brown earth.

Exactly what’s being done is hard to say.

The club did not respond to an email seeking further information.

But a source familiar with the goings on at Augusta National told GOLF.com that the project is being carried out by the veteran architect Tom Fazio, who has handled multiple nips and tucks for the club throughout the years.

First opened for play in 1958, the nine-hole Par-3 Course was designed by George W. Cobb (a respected designer whose portfolio also includes Quail Hollow, host of this year’s Presidents Cup), with input from Augusta co-founder and chairman Clifford Roberts.

With no hole measuring more than 150 yards, the small course has played an outsize role on the Wednesday of Masters week every year since 1960. That’s when Augusta held the inaugural edition of its Par-3 Contest, an amiable event that has since morphed into one of the game’s cutest competitions, with players’ children often serving as their caddies.

Features

In keeping with its annual schedule, Augusta National closed last month and won’t reopen to its membership until November. But it seems that something’s always happening behind the shuttered gates of Magnolia Lane. And guessing what the club is up to is a year-round golf-world game.

In recent years, Eureka Earth has added substance to the speculation by sharing aerial photos of the world’s most famous club, capturing images of hush-hush projects ranging from the demolition of the old ANGC pro shop to modifications to the 11th and 15th holes.

Not surprisingly, this week’s Twitter post drew a flood of comments from Eureka Earth’s followers, many taking stabs at the purpose of the Par 3 project.

“Stunning,” wrote user @Mizzou58Steel. “Guessing they are making room for more patron access.”

That seemed plausible, given the tight confines of the course and the fact that the Wednesday contest appears to grow more popular every year.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the club to provide an explanation.

But count on this: The work will be completed before April 2023.
