Last Starter: 90% of readers knew that Greg Norman is nicknamed 'Great White Shark.' The Aussie golf icon accidentally created one of golf’s most viral moments when beach photos revealed a rather prominent outline in his swim trunks that caught the internet's full attention. Norman found fans' reactions "hilarious" as Instagram commenters questioned whether he was "hiding a stick" in his swimwear. Golf influencer Paige Spiranac delivered the winning response by suggesting Norman be renamed "The Great White Shaft." ⬇️

📰 GOLF STORIES

 🐊 Dirty Jobs

A professional diver has been bitten by alligators, attacked underwater, and nearly killed - all to retrieve your errant tee shots. Jim Best makes his living diving beneath golf course water hazards, harvesting up to two million balls annually from 65 different courses. His most terrifying moment? When a 14-foot alligator emerged growling while his dive partner was underwater, forcing him to choose between saving his friend or saving himself. Turns out that this situation is extremely common in the world of golf ball diving. ⬇️

💰 Who Will Win at TPC Sawgrass?

A bizarre 17-year trend at TPC Sawgrass might be the key to picking this week's Players Championship winner. Since 2007, a stunning 14 of 17 champions have come from the AM/PM wave - teeing off Thursday morning and Friday afternoon. The three exceptions? Only Tiger Woods (2013), Martin Kaymer (2014), and Scottie Scheffler (2024) managed to win from the opposite PM/AM wave. The statistical anomaly is so extreme that researchers calculate the odds against it occurring randomly are approximately 1,742 to 1 - meaning something truly strange is happening at golf's fifth major. ⬇️

🤬 Everyone is fed up with the PGA/LIV drama

Justin Thomas just admitted PGA Tour players are "past the level of exhaustion" with golf's never-ending civil war. The two-time major champion revealed the Players Championship marks the third straight year of fielding LIV-related questions, with players on both sides increasingly kept in the dark. While he acknowledges Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau "made points that had some truth," Commissioner Monahan's recent optimism about a deal appears to be fading as mysterious "hurdles" continue blocking golf's reunification. ⬇️

The Players Championship

We went with the 2 hot hands and lost last week. But hey, it's time for a bounce back in a big way this week. The Players is one of those tournaments every guy really wants to win; the purse is also the largest on tour this year at over $25 million. With that being said, we have two picks we love for this week:

  • Hideki Matsuyama Top 10 (+260)

  • Ludvig Aberg Top 10 (+175)

Weather is getting nice and golf season is back in full effect. Enjoy cashing these two and pay for that new driver for 2025.
