82 PGA Tour wins. 15 major victories. Imagine the kind of golfing advice someone like Tiger Woods would be able to give you. Invaluable! That is exactly how Max Homa felt when he got help from the legend. However, if the golfer was at the receiving end of it before a certain point in time, then the 48-year-old would have ‘killed him’ while helping him out. What changed, then? Well, it all happened after Charlie Woods entered the picture, interestingly so. Homa was talking about how he received Woods’s advice in an episode of the Join The Lobby podcast, hosted by FaZe…

The 2024 Hero World Challenge field includes bigwigs but not that one name fans were eager to see the most. Five of the world’s top ten, led by the Masters champion and reigning world no.1, Scottie Scheffler, will travel to the Bahamas in December.

From the home of golf came the ire of the Tiger and an impassioned roar in defence of tradition that must surely have rattled the cage of even the Great White Shark.
