Cameron McCormick, after his follow-through, flung his iron back out in front of him, then slid it down through his fingers, until the head of the club touched his hand. He appeared content.

His tip had worked.

He hadn’t banana-sliced.

Talking on a video recently posted to his Instagram account, the GOLF Top 100 instructor was deep in his lab describing a cause behind the unwelcome golf ball movement — and a fix for it. The video can be found below, and below that will be some additional thoughts.

What’s one reason behind a slice, according to Cameron McCormick?

Your hips spin out, he said, leaving your arms and the club too far behind.

What happens then?

The ball goes out to “right field,” as McCormick termed it. Or left field, for left-handers.

What’s the fix for this issue?

There are a few parts to it, said McCormick, who is also Jordan Spieth’s longtime coach.

– Take your normal stance.

– Lift your trail toes off the ground

– Turn your trail foot 45 degrees to the right (if you’re right-handed).

– Plant the toes back on the ground as you’re moving toward impact.

“It’s going to help you sequence your arms and club back out in front of your body,” McCormick said on the video, “and solve that slice.”

Did the author try the drill?

He did.

It takes a minute to get used to. It feels somewhat strange, and you naturally concentrate on your right foot more than the swing at first. But it promotes the move McCormick noted. It feels smooth, too.

Are there other GOLF.com slice tips?

Tiger Woods hasn’t said when or if he’ll play competitive golf again as he recovers from his second back surgery in the past 13 months.

But if it comes on the PGA Tour Champions, the 50-and-over circuit will be ready.

Woods turns 50 on Dec. 30, and PGA Tour Champions president Miller Brady told Golf Channel this week that preparations already are underway in case he opts to play on the senior circuit.

“Yes, we’re ready. We’re well prepared,” Brady said. “We’ve done some whiteboarding over the past year in preparation for Tiger turning 50. And if and when he plays, our tournaments are prepared.

“It is going to be more. Security, buses, portalets, concession stands — all of that is taken into account when we plan for that.”

Whether Woods plays at all, however, is one of the sport’s biggest questions.

He has had seven back surgeries since April 2014, the most recent coming earlier this month, when he had a disk in his lower back that had caused pain and mobility issues replaced. He didn’t mention at the time how long it would keep him out of golf.

He also has dealt with major lower-body injuries, shattering his right leg and ankle in a car crash in February 2021 and rupturing his left Achilles tendon earlier this year.

“To be honest with you, given the last surgery, I just hope Tiger gets back on his feet and is able to play golf again,” Brady told Golf Channel.

Woods hasn’t played in an event since a playoff loss in the PNC Championship last year.

Benefits of the PGA Tour Champions include that most events are 54 holes and that players are allowed to use carts.

Once upon a time, a group of successful golfers realized they would be better off pooling their skills together, maximizing their exposure to sponsor money and building a reliable, nationwide brand supported by (comparatively) large tournament prizes.

After some squabbles, they settled on a name, a format and a revenue-sharing agreement.

Thus, the PGA Tour was born.

Sixty years later, golf fans of a different variety watched as a new all-star collection of golfers came together to maximize exposure and compete for a large prize.

They were not players but influencers, competing in Barstool’s “Internet Invitational” — a six-part, hours-long bonanza featuring 48 golfers competing for the chance at $1 million. Their medium of choice was YouTube, but the thrust of their video wasn’t entirely counting birdies and bogeys. Participation in the event was one part golf competition, one part reality TV series, and several parts performing for the camera.

Immediately, this group of influencers found that their pooled skills were at least comparably successful to the sum of their parts — generating nearly 2 million views in under 24 hours and seizing a stranglehold on the golf discourse in the midst of an otherwise quiet week on the calendar. It did not take long for this collection of YouTubers to find that golf fans of all ages and backgrounds were at least willing to give them a shot, or for golf fans to realize they might wind up entertained.

All of it raised a question that seemed outlandish until quite recently: When it came to bringing together the best influencers in golf regularly, was Barstool onto something?

These are strange times in the world of sports. Leagues continue to act like media companies and media companies continue to act like leagues, a closing loop that has blurred lines at events like the Internet Invitational and the PGA Tour’s forthcoming Good Good Championship. Those who put on golf tournaments are now responsible for YouTube highlights and social media commentary, while those who make YouTube highlights and social media commentary are now responsible for … competing in golf tournaments.

The golden goose undercutting it all is the currency of our time: Attention. Attention serves as the conduit between consumers and products, and it is a diminishing asset in a world saturated with distractions. Everybody in the sports world — from big tech to big football to Big Cat — is in the game of attention. Those who can reliably attract attention can attract advertising, and those who can attract advertising can attract money.

Barstool is under no illusions about coalescing the entirety of golf’s internet talent in one place on a permanent (or touring) basis. And of course, even if Barstool wereunder any illusions about creating an Influencer Tour, it’s unlikely they would ever generate enough business to consider the PGA Tour or LIV a legitimate competitor. But the strangest lesson from the Internet Invitational is that, at least in terms of attention, the gap between the influencers and the pros isn’t nearly as wide as it seems.

Of course, that’s not to say that the businesses are comparable, or that the influencers are leaving money on the table by retaining their own YouTube fiefdoms with occasional cross-appearances for the purposes of audience growth. It is merely to say that, in all likelihood, the week’s most compelling golf tournament will take place entirely on the internet, featuring a field composed of zero full-time professional golfers, playing for a prize fund not much smaller than a typical PGA Tour event. In the world of democratized distribution through social media platforms like YouTube, it’s not hard to see a world where this format proves repeatable … and profitable.

In the end, the next several days are likely to reveal the ways in which the Internet Invitational can’t compare with a traditional golf competition. The play will be mostly average, the drama will be somewhat contrived, and the people on camera will play to those cameras, fully aware of the game they’re playing.

But it can compete in the way that matters most: People will pay attention. Glorious, valuable attention.

There’s money to be made that way. Lots of it.

Now on The Scoop: Megan Khang!

The FM ambassador and Massachusetts native recently joined me for a scoop of chocolate and cookies and cream to discuss playing in the U.S. Women’s Open at 14, how she keeps her game sharp during Boston’s long winters and a whole lot more.

Khang and I grew up just an hour away from each other, so I was excited to sit down with the golfer whose name I remember seeing in local newspapers as a kid. When I told a few people at the FM Championship I’d be interviewing her, they all said the same thing: Megan is the absolute best. They were right.

Khang’s energy is infectious. She’s kind, doesn’t take herself too seriously and she’s a great storyteller. By the time we were five minutes into our conversation, I felt like I was hanging out with an old friend.

During our conversation, Khang recalled her decision to go pro, and how it was a college visit that encouraged her to make the leap.

I went on an official visit to Wake Forest, and at the time, Dianne Dailey was the head coach and Kevin Diaz was the assistant coach. Diaz’s wife, Laura, was on the LPGA Tour. … They pulled my dad and me aside and were like, ‘So, you see what we have to offer. Do you want to come to school in the fall?’ And I looked at my dad and we chit chatted, being like ‘Oh, we don’t know yet.’ And Mr. Diaz was like, ‘Honestly, my wife plays on tour. I definitely think you can make it out there. You’ve got the game to. We can definitely help you with time management, but I definitely think you’re good enough to pursue it.’

That meant so much to me, because with his wife being on tour, he saw firsthand how hard it is to make it out there. And to have someone else outside of my family and friends believe in me the way he did, it meant a lot to me. … He has seen the best women out there compete … to have him believe in me, at 17, I took it very much to heart.

I always say I would’ve gone to Wake just for the loyalty that they gave when I was in the 8th grade and they offered a full scholarship. I’m very happy and grateful to have met Kevin Diaz and his family.

Welcome to Play Smart, a regular GOLF.com game-improvement column that will help you become a smarter, better golfer.

Bunkers can be scorecard killers for recreational golfers. While pros and high-level players make escaping the sand look easy, for weekend hacks it’s anything but.

For lots of high-handicappers, just getting out of the sand is cause for celebration. But if you really want to become a stick, you’ve got to learn not only how to escape, but to give yourself a reasonable chance at making your ensuing putt, too.

The problem recreational golfers face with bunker shots is either typically a lack of understanding of the proper technique. Sure, many of them are familiar with the basic tenets (open clubface, hit behind the ball, etc.) but in practice they still are making critical errors.

Heck, I struggle with this, too. While I do know how to hit a proper bunker shot, sometimes I still struggle to execute correctly.

Luckily, GOLF Top 100 Teacher Joe Plecker showed me a trick that makes hitting bunker shots a breeze. Check it out below.

This hack fixed my bunker game

In the past, when I lined up to hit a bunker shot, I gripped the club like I normally would. However, this turned out to be a huge mistake.

With a neutral (or even strong) grip, I was making it far too easy to close the clubface as I approached impact.

“That is the worst thing you can do in a bunker release is close the clubface,” Plecker says.

To combat against this, Plecker suggested weakening my lead-hand grip by rotating it more toward the target. With my hand pre-rotated in this direction, it made it harder to shut the clubface — and dig the leading edge — in the sand.

“If you were really struggling with your bunker shots and were closing the club too much,” Plecker says. “The easiest thing you can do is move that [lead] hand across the club, get it a little more in that weak position and make sure you can’t close the clubface.”

If you do that, you’ll find that popping your ball out of the bunker becomes a breeze.

Two former Seminoles will team up as professionals just 400 miles from where they starred as collegiate golfers.

Lottie Woad and Luke Clanton are among the 16 teams announced for this year’s Grant Thornton Invitational, the third playing of a tournament that pairs 16 LPGA Tour players with 16 PGA Tour pros for a mixed team event at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Fla., on Dec. 12-14.

Woad and Clanton, both 21, are the youngest team in the field, and they were both members of the Florida State golf team at the same time.

Woad, who is from England, burst onto the scene when she won the 2024 Augusta National Women’s Amateur and rose to No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking later that summer. She continued her strong play in 2025, winning the Ladies European Tour’s Women’s Irish Open in July as an amateur. She turned pro a couple weeks later and won the Women’s Scottish Open in her professional debut.

Her partner for the Grant Thornton Invitational, Clanton, has also created plenty of buzz. Once the No. 1-ranked amateur, he turned professional in June 2025 and immediately joined the PGA Tour via his PGA Tour University Accelerated points. He didn’t win in 2025 but made 10 of 15 cuts and had two top-25 finishes.

The Grant Thornton Invitational field boasts 137 combined LPGA and PGA Tour victories and 10 major champions. The tournament is three rounds and includes scramble, foursomes and a modified four-ball.

Other notable teams are Lydia Ko and Jason Day, Nelly Korda and Denny McCarthy, Lilia Vu and Tony Finau, Charley Hull and Daniel Berger, and Lexi Thompson and Wyndham Clark. Patty Tavatanakit and Jake Knapp are also back to defend their title won last year. Check out all 16 teams below.

When Miguel Tabuena finished off his final-round, seven-under 65 to win the International Series Philippineson Sunday, he crumpled to his knees and pounded the turf. The 31-year-old had just secured the biggest win of his career — and he’d done so on his home course in front of his family.

Tabuena shot three consecutive 65s to top a field that included Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed and Marc Leishman. That he did so one week after withdrawing due to neck spasms makes his victory all the more impressive. The win was the fourth of his career, making him the most successful Filipino golfer on the Asian Tour. It also pushed him past the $3 million mark in career earnings on the Asian Tour.

“It’s truly special. This is the biggest golf event the Philippines has ever hosted. To win it as a Filipino, in front of my people, is an incredible honour,” Tabuena said after securing the win.

“My family and friends were there. My mom’s turning 60 this December, and it meant everything to have her see me win. I just fell to my knees. It was hard to hold it together after such a long, emotional week. I had so much expectations — from others and from myself. This means everything.”

But Tabuena’s hometown victory could wind up meaning even more in a few weeks.

Tabuena entered the week ranked 430th in the Official World Golf Rankings. The win bumped him up to No. 251 and now has him positioned to make a run at the biggest prize in the International Series — an elevated group of tournaments on the Asian Tour. Due to a partnership with the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF), the top player in the International Series’ Order of Merit gets a spot on LIV Golf for the following season.

Tabuena’s win at Sta. Elena Golf Club moved him up 46 spots in the Order of Merit to No. 2, just 108.1 points behind Scott Vincent with three tournaments left to play. Vincent was a member of the Iron Heads from 2022 to 2024 before losing his spot. He won the International Series Morocco event and came runner-up at the Jakarta International Championship, which has him in position to rejoin LIV unless Tabuena or someone else catches him.

For Tabuena, who was ranked 1543rd in the world at the end of 2022, the chance to play his way onto the breakaway circuit is now firmly within reach after his win on home soil. He knows that finding a way onto LIV can change everything for him.

“Of course, that is the goal, you know, we want to be on LIV Golf,” Tabuena said. “That was a big goal this year with my game. From the beginning of this week, I didn’t have that in mind (rather focusing on the tournament), but to be able to get it done brings me so much confidence and belief in myself that I can actually win these events and hopefully next year.”

Last year, Joaquin Niemann finished the year first in the International Series rankings, which meant no LIV Golf spot was awarded. However, Ben Campbell, who finished third, got signed by the RangeGoats after Thomas Pieters was traded to the 4Aces.

The next International Series event is this week at the LINK Hong Kong Open. The winner of the Hong Kong Open will also receive a spot in the 2026 Masters and 2026 Open Championship, thanks to a recent change to the qualification system by Augusta National Golf Club and the R&A. The International Series will conclude with the Moutai Singapore Open on November 6-9 and then the PIF Saudi International on November 19-22.

If Tabuena doesn’t pass Vincent in the next three tournaments, he should still have a chance to earn a spot at the LIV Promotions event, the Q School tournament the breakaway league is expected to host at the end of the season — although LIV Golf has yet to release a date for the event or any information about how many spots will be up for grabs. Three spots were available in 2023, but LIV trimmed that to one in 2024. Henrik Stenson, who was relegated from LIV Golf after a poor season, is expected to be among the players teeing it up at LIV Promotions in an attempt to play his way back onto the circuit.

Patrick Reed says his children are being harassed due to allegations that he has cheated at golf.

In an interview with AFP’s Daniel Hicks, the 2018 Masters winner said that while the accusations are false, his daughter and son have heard them.

“My kids have been bullied at school so that’s where it’s uncalled for,” Reed said.

“They say a lot of stuff. It’s all false,” he continued.

“When they all of a sudden look at your children and say stuff about them, it’s like you don’t even know my children and why would you even bring kids into it?

“It’s not fun having to deal with some of the stuff that we deal with. The great thing is I have an amazing support team at home and an amazing family.”

Reed’s comments came after Friday’s play at the Asian Tour’s International Series Philippines event, and you can read Hicks’ entire story here. Reed went on to finish in a tie for 20th at the tournament.

For most of his career, drama has followed Reed. A GOLF.com story (which you can read here) details some of his incidents, including moments in college, the 2014 WGC-HSBC Champions event, the 2018 Arnold Palmer Invitational, the 2018 Porsche European Open, the 2018 Dell Technologies Championship, the 2018 Ryder Cup, the 2019 Hero World Challenge and the 2019 Presidents Cup — and another GOLF.com story (which you can read here) tells Reed’s side of his career.

In talking about his image to API’s Hicks, Reed said this:

“The kind of person I am on and off the golf course hasn’t been portrayed very well in the media throughout my career, but it’s almost impossible to control others.

“All you can do is control yourself, so I feel like I’m doing everything the right way, living the right way.

“Everyone I play pro-ams with and everybody I meet, they’re all like: ‘Man, you’re nothing like what the media portrays you as.’

“So as long as that just continues happening, at some point it will turn around.”

This week, Reed is defending his title at the Asian Tour’s Link Hong Kong event.

We remember the moment and the man. But what about the club itself?

On the afternoon of June 20, 1982, Tom Watson stood beside the 17th green at Pebble Beach, tied for the U.S. Open lead, his ball nestled in the rough, some 16 feet from the pin. What happened next — a clipped sand wedge that checked, hopped and dropped for birdie — became part of sporting lore.

More than four decades later, that very club — a 56-degree Wilson Dyna Power wedge that Watson adopted after ’81 U.S. Open champion David Graham abandoned it — has found a new and fitting home, displayed behind glass at the freshly reopened Tap Room at Pebble Beach, one of the game’s most famous watering holes.

The renovation, completed this fall, is less a reinvention than a respectful refresh of a venue that first opened in 1949. Deep-green walls and leather booths still define the look, just as post-round conversations still infuse the atmosphere. The updates come in the details, including a new bar (the original cherry wood bar was removed during the redo and repurposed into custom putters) and a private dining space called the Champions Room, where a trove of golf memorabilia hangs on the walls — anchored by Watson’s wedge and rounded out by rare photos, scorecards and other keepsakes from Pebble’s century-plus life.

The menu stays true to form, with smartly executed steakhouse standbys, and a bar program built on bourbons and craft beers.

A trove of golf memorabilia hangs on the walls, including Tom Watson’s U.S Open-winning wedge.

The booze is top shelf. The sand wedge hangs closer to eye level, meant for looking, not for touching. Of course, it also serves as a conversation piece. Before Watson hit the shot, his caddie, Bruce Edwards, told him to get it close.

“Get it close?” Watson replied. “Hell, I’m going to make it.”

Watson mostly was talking to himself, he conceded later. But that’s golf. As much as the shots we strike, it’s about the stories we tell — to ourselves, to our friends and to anyone else who’ll listen — after rounds we aren’t likely to forget.

3 Things I’m Thinking

The wedge’s whereabouts:I’m curious about Watson’s wedge. How long did he keep it in his bag after his big U.S. Open win? Did he wield it on his way to any senior tour titles? Where did it go when he was done with it? But Watson’s team did not get back to us before this dispatch went to print. For now, all I can relay for certain is that before turning up at Pebble Beach, the wedge had a home at another big-name resort: It was on display at the Greenbrier in West Virginia, which isn’t shy on memorabilia of its own, much of it related to local hero Sam Snead.

Bad parenting, good golf: The last time I played Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport Beach, Calif., my daughter, Scarlett, had just been born. How I managed to sneak out for a round with an infant child at home, I don’t recall. But I do remember that my wife wasn’t happy. Fortunately, she’s had a while to get over it, as that shameless demonstration of parental neglect took place more than 20 years ago. I haven’t set foot on Pelican Hill since. But soon I’ll have good reason to make it back. For the first time in, yep, 20 years, both Tom Fazio courses at Pelican Hill — the North and South — are going through a refresh. Brian Curley is handling the work, which has just begun and will unfold in nine-hole phases, ensuring that 27 holes remain open throughout the project. The upgrades, which will focus on bunker restoration, tee alignment and tweaks to green surrounds, are expected to be completed by late 2026. That gives me plenty of time to think of a good excuse to tell my wife.

With Tiger Woods on the verge of eligibility for the PGA Tour Champions, many have wondered whether he’ll try his hand on the senior circuit. While Woods’ recent back surgery makes a senior tour debut in 2026 less likely, it’s still a possibility.

And given that possibility, the PGA Tour Champions is “well prepared” for Tiger’s debut, according to the tour’s president.

Here’s what you need to know.

Tiger Woods turns 50, eligible for PGA Tour Champions

Woods began dominating pro golf at the tender age of 20 years old, winning his first Masters in 1997 at 21.

But Tiger’s story began on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, Calif. That means we’re just two months away from Woods’ 50th birthday on December 30th of this year.

The PGA Tour Champions, formerly the Champions Tour, is open to pro golfers 50 and older. After December 30th, Tiger could play in any PGA Tour Champions tournament he wanted (outside of the playoffs) given his career pedigree.

Paul Azinger thinks Tiger Woods feels ‘obligated’ to play senior tour. Here’s why

By:

Kevin Cunningham

Whether he will is another question. Many PGA Tour greats who went on to play the PGA Tour Champions have encouraged him to do so.

Ernie Els said playing the PGA Tour Champions “can only be beneficial” to Tiger. Bernhard Langer and Jack Nicklaus have predicted he’ll end up playing with the seniors. Paul Azinger even argued Woods might feel an “obligation” to play with the over-50 crowd.

Tiger has largely stayed mum on his senior tour prospects, and earlier this month, Woods announced that he’d undergone a disc-replacement surgery on his back, throwing into doubt his return to any kind of competitive golf in 2026

But should he decide to make the unlikely decision to play a PGA Tour Champions event next year, the tour is prepared to welcome him and the ensuing crush of fans and interest.

We know that thanks to PGA Tour Champions president Miller Brady, who discussed the preparations underway this week on Golf Channel.

PGA Tour Champions’ year-long prep for Tiger’s debut

This week, the PGA Tour Champions revealed their full schedule for the 2026 season. Among the 25 total regular-season events are two new brand-new tournaments. Overall, players will be competing for a prize pool of $69 million.

On Tuesday, Brady joined host Damon Hack on Golf Channel to discuss to the upcoming season. And Brady admitted he was not surprised when Hack’s first question involved the possibility of Woods playing in one of those events next year.

Ultimately, Hack asked, is the PGA Tour Champions ready for the onslaught if Woods tees it up?

Brady answered in the affirmative, revealing that the preparations for Tiger’s debut have been in the works for a year.

“The answer is yes, we’re ready. We’re well prepared,” Brady said on Golf Channel about Woods’ potential debut. “We’ve done some white boarding over the past year in preparation for Tiger turning 50, and if and when he plays, our tournaments will be prepared.”

Brady also detailed some of the specific preparations that must be considered in case Woods shows up the season.

“It is going to be more. And you mentioned it — security, buses, portalettes, concession stands — all of that is taken into account when we prepare for [Woods playing],” he said.

As to whether Tiger will make his debut this year, or ever, Brady wasn’t interested in speculating. Instead, he expressed his hopes that Woods simply gets healthy enough to play golf again anywhere following his latest surgery.

“To be honest with you,” Brady said, “given the last surgery, I just hope that Tiger gets back on his feet and is able to play golf again.”
