Welcome to another edition of The Grind, where we begin with tragedy on the PGA Tour. Grayson Murray’s death at 30 and amid a tournament he had been playing left the golf world shocked. Sadly, it shocked me less. That’s because four years ago, my best friend, who, like Grayson, seemed to have everything going…
LANCASTER, Pa. — You know that feeling when you’ve just had a great lesson from your pro, and you’re swinging free, making great contact, and playing the golf of your life, but you also know that it’s going to last about 48 hours before everything goes to hell in a handbasket again? Ahead of this…
For the first time since 2019, the RBC Canadian Open returns to Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Ancaster, Ontario. The Canadian Open possesses one of the richest histories on the PGA Tour, and it has been held annually since 1904. Last time Hamilton played host venue, we saw Rory McIlroy triumph at 22-under par…
The 32-year-old Italian pro — a four-time winner on the WTA Tour, who came up short to Serena Williams in the Wimbledon quarterfinals in 2018 — was listed on the International Tennis Integrity Agency’s (ITIA) retired players list on Tuesday.

But I confirm it: I’m retiring,” the tennis player and model shared on her social networks. Camila Giorgi is awaiting trial and is being…
One of the most frustrating aspects of playing golf with a few buddies for money is that, depending on the game, some players can be completely irrelevant to what actually happens in the match. Nothing is more infuriating than handing over your hard-earned dollars to somebody who was in the pocket on 16 of the…
Camila Giorgi’s retirement from tennis has taken another interesting twist.The 32-year-old Italian, a 2018 Wimbledon quarterfinalist who was once ranked as high as No. 26 in the world, retired earlier this month, without any warning, to pursue a career in lingerie modelling. She was listed on the International Tennis Integrity Agency’s (ITIA) retired players list…
Last week’s incredibly exciting finish to the PGA Championship proved something we already knew—professional golf is far better when the LIV Golf guys are playing alongside their former PGA Tour brethren. The weekend at Valhalla would not have been what it was without Bryson DeChambeau’s charge, and the fact we don’t see DeChambeau play against…
