Eugenio Chacarra has a long walk ahead for a guy with a recently broken toe.
The Spaniard holds the lead of the DP World Tour’s India Championship, but faces playing 25 holes on Sunday because the tournament has been delayed by weather and darkness. Chacarra will resume his third round of the 12th hole while holding a two-shot lead, and then hopefully get in all 18 holes of the fourth round.
Two weeks ago, the 26-year-old broke his toe in the middle of the night while getting water, and though limping noticeably, he toughed out an impressive T-2 finish in his home Spanish Open. Already a two-time winner this year, Chacarra is second in the DPWT’s Race to Dubai standings and has a big chance to overtake No. 1 Patrick Reed, who is 22nd with 23 holes to finish.
At 31 years old, Jon Rahm is now the father of four.
The Spaniard and his wife Kelley Cahill welcomed a girl, Begonia, this week, with Rahm announcing the birth on social media Friday. "Momma and baby are doing great, and we’re soaking up every moment as a family of six," he wrote on Instagram. The Rahms’ first child, son Kepa, was born in April 2021, followed by another boy, Eneko, in August 2022 and daughter Alaia in September 2024.
It’s been quite the week for Rahm, who reached an agreement to separate from LIV Golf, while forfeiting $7.5 million that the bankrupt league owed him. He has been welcomed back to the DP World Tour and is set to return from paternity leave and play in the Abu Dhabi Championship that begins on Nov. 5.
Zach Johnson was asked about his favorite gas station snack and it went exactly how you'd guess.
We all have a favorite snack we like to grab each time we stop to fill the tank and, um, empty the tank if you know I mean. For me, it's honey mustard pretzels (Dots if they got 'em) and a Diet Dr. Pepper. Whatever your personal poison, however, the gas station snack run is a universal human experience ... or so I thought. On Thursday, a clip went viral of two-time major champion (and one-time Ryder Cup villain) Zach Johnson being asked about his favorite pit-stop pickup, and, well, let's just say his answer was very on brand.
"Say that again??" Johnson says as if he was just asked for his thoughts on the existence of extra-terrestrial life. The poor guy interviewing him repeats his query, to which Johnson proudly(?) replies, "I don't get snacks at gas stations."
No trail mix. No Poland Spring. Nothing, nada, zilch. It seems like a strange flex to us, but for Johnson it's a badge of honor. Masters winner, Champion Golfer of the Year and the last of the road-trip raw doggers. Put it on the mantle.
The PGA Tour is cutting ties with a controversial sponsor.
ONEflight, a luxury travel company, has been the title presenter for the tour’s alternate event in Myrtle Beach the last several years, but is facing multiple federal lawsuits over fraud allegations after the company suspended all operations last month. However, the event will continue in 2027, with the tourism arm of Myrtle Beach taking over sponsorship duties. Brandt Snedeker won last year’s tournament, while fifth-place finisher Aaron Rai would go on to win the PGA Championship the following week.
Much has been made about the six-time major champ not having a driver in the bag while playing the tight confines of Delhi CC at this week's DP World India Championship, but when you can do what he did on his first hole Friday, the conservative strategy makes a lot more sense. McIlroy hit an iron off the tee on the opening par 5 then smoked a 5-wood to about 10 feet and rolled in the putt for an eagle to start his round at the DP World Tour event. Just absolutely bringing a 516-yard hole to its knees without the use of a 1-wood. Must be nice.
The Asian Tour’s season finale has been canceled due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The PIF Saudi International, planned for the middle of November at Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia, was postponed Thursday "following an assessment of the organizational and logistical challenges associated with hosting the tournament. As of writing there is no make-up date. "The Asian Tour remains in direct contact with its players and members regarding the schedule and next steps," the tour said in a statement. "Golf Saudi thanks players, partners and fans for their understanding. Further details will be announced in due course." The news weeks after a series of attacks on three airports in Saudi Arabia, which have killed 20 and injured more than 370 people. The Asian Tour recently ended its relationship with LIV Golf following PIF pulling its support from the league. The DP World Tour’s season-finale—set to be played in Saudi neighboring UAE—remains on the schedule.
According to popular X account Flushing It Golf, Thomas Pieters confirmed his LIV Golf exit on Thursday. The Belgian, who was a part of Dustin Johnson's 4 Aces squad the last two seasons, reportedly plans to return to the DP World Tour, where he won six times before joining LIV in February 2023.
Pieters, who went 4-1-1 as a Ryder Cup rookie in 2016, now looks to be another potential asset for Luke Donald and co. at Adare Manor next fall. For a full list of all the players who have already departed LIV Golf—and the status of those who haven't—click here.
That's how one mystery golfer must feel after the Austin Championship announced its sponsor exemptions for next month's new PGA Tour event. The winner of Golf Channel's rebooted reality show was supposed to get a spot in the tournament which was previously sponsored by Good Good, but that all changed after the company released a video promoting a Callaway driver in which a man shoves a woman to the ground. "Big Break x Good Good" wound up being cancelled so fans never saw who won. And whoever won wound up losing out on a PGA Tour start. Instead, as Golfweek reports, a pair of former University of Texas golfers, Tommy Morrison and Christian Maas, Austin native Cole Sherwood, and 17-year-old phenom Miles Russell got the four exemptions into the event to be played Nov. 12-15 at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa’s Fazio Canyons Course.
The Ghostbusters collection pulls straight from the 1984 original film, with equipment and accessories that carry a heavy dose of nostalgia. The Slimer Spider Tour X putter gets a deep green PVD finish, a detailed laser-etched sole and a glowing proton-stream shaft. The containment unit MG5 wedge set (52, 56 and 60 degrees) gives each head its own engraved, paint-filled villain.
On the ball side, TP5 arrives in a ghost trap box while TP5x gets the fire house treatment, both with custom sleeves inside. The supporting cast also runs deep: a Stay Puft mallet headcover, a no-ghost logo TP glove, proton tees, two ball marker sets (the original crew and the Ecto gear), rope hats, a jumpsuit polo, and a stack of t-shirts and hoodies.
