Happy Friday. Lincoln University's Jeff Maasen achieved instant viral fame when Golf Channel captured his tee shot sailing majestically into Lake Michigan at Whistling Straits' iconic 17th hole. His perfectly timed "Jordan Spieth" reference immediately after splashdown—acknowledging the pro's miraculous 2021 Ryder Cup shot from the same location—proved his comedic timing is far better than his iron play. Sometimes becoming a TikTok sensation requires sacrificing a few Titleists to the golf gods. ⬇️

📰 GOLF STORIES

😂 What is happening here?

College golf just produced the most confusing viral putting routine in history, leaving viewers completely baffled about what they witnessed. During the PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship at Whistling Straits, one player appeared to attempt... measuring her putt by actually stepping it off? This bizarre scene—captured by Twitter user @Golfingbrock—left Golf Twitter with endless questions: Is this allowed? Is it mocking AimPoint? Is it a balance drill? Whatever it was, the video racked up two million views in just 12 hours, proving once again that golf's most memorable televised moments aren't always the ones players hope for. ⬇️

📈 Justin Bieber’s golf swing goes viral

Justin Bieber's golf swing just broke the internet, but not for the reasons most celebrities would hope. While his wife attended the Met Gala, the pop star posted videos showcasing his unique interpretation of Scottie Scheffler's shuffle—minus the balance or technical proficiency. The true shock came when golf reporter Claire Rogers discovered Bieber maintains a respectable 10.2 handicap despite his unconventional white tank top, baggy pants, and wildly unorthodox swing. Golf Twitter erupted in disbelief: "There is no way on planet earth that swing is shooting 82," with many accusing the singer of golf's cardinal sin—sandbagging. ⬇️

📸 Golf creators are taking over

Golf's civil war has opened a new battlefront—the competition for YouTube stars and their massive audiences. Both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf are staging creator events generating millions of views, with Wednesday's Creator Classic at Philadelphia Cricket Club featuring unlikely participants like 76ers guard Kyle Lowry alongside established golf influencers. The rivalry has created complications, including Wesley Bryan's PGA Tour suspension for participating in LIV's "The Duels." The shifting power dynamic has marketing experts suggesting a fundamental change: "These people are their own business. Their names are their brand; their brand is a media platform." ⬇️
