European Tour Originals presents the 'Chase The Ace Hole-In-One Challenge', episode 3. How many balls would it take a professional golfer to make a hole-in-one?

The odds of an average golfer making an ace are roughly one in 100,000, while stats suggest a European Tour pro's chances are closer to one in 2,500. Introducing Andy Sullivan...

Each year, Inside Golf's stats man finds ten (or so) interesting stats for the year's first Major...

(DENVER) - Functional Remedies, the only award-winning, vertically integrated hemp oil company, announced its expanded reach into professional golf by becoming the first-ever hemp oil company to sponsor a PGA TOUR Champions Tournament, the Rapiscan Systems Classic on March 29-31 at Fallen Oak Golf Club in Saucier, north of Biloxi.

Check out the top 10 shots of the week from THE PLAYERS Championship 2019, featuring Tiger Woods, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Rickie Fowler, and Ryan Moore.

A favourite of ours is the Jhonattan Vegas 70-footer on 17. Be sure to note the expression on the face of Kevin Kisner's caddy at the end of the clip....

In the Good, Bad & Unusual, Teryn Gregson recaps the 2019 PLAYERS Championship, where Irishman Rory McIlroy won on St. Patrick’s Day, the luck extended to Jhonny Vegas who recorded the longest putt in Island Green history and Tiger Woods’ funny moment with Kevin Na at 17.

From 'Beef' changing his pants right in front of the grandstand, to Padraig Harrington desperately trying to get the cameraman to look away as he heads for a 'break' in the bushes, we take a look back through the year at the top 10 moments which made us laugh the most during the 2018 European Tour season.

In the ongoing evolution of the 'new Tiger'...we present the latest commercial he's a part of with golf's acknowledged techno-guru, Bryson DeChambeau, as they debate which is more important, Distance or Straight? 

We're impressed with Tiger's more personable demeanor at this stage of his career. Obviously there's direction involved but full credit should go to Tiger for his buy-in and exection in front of the camera. 

Both of them do a nice job of playing their role and make it a very entertaining ad.

During the last few months ex-Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has made an even bigger name for himself with some of his uncanny play predictions during NFL TV broadcasts. Many fans are aware that Romo is also an extremely fine golfer, sporting a +0.3 handicap.

Romo may have added to his recent upgrade in notoriety by hitting a shot Seve would have been proud of in the 2nd round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at the par-4 15th hole.

Not to be totally outdone, listen as commentator and 6-time Major Champion Sir Nick Faldo almost calls the shot before Romo executes it.

The movers and shakers and the superstars of the PGA TOUR were all at Monterey Peninsula Country Club Thursday morning.

There’s Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth, playing with their normal amateurs Wayne Gretzky and Jake Owen. Johnson and Spieth would each shoot (-5) and just two strokes back, both are definite contenders to win again at Pebble.

You’ve got Miss America 2015 Kira Kazantsev, comedians Bill Murray, Larry the Cable Guy and Ray Romano, and a pretty saucy U.S. Ryder Cup team of Patrick Reed and Phil Mickelson, with Reed shooting (-3) and Mickelson (-6).

Mickelson made history when he discovered that he hit every fairway and to his knowledge, that’s the first time in 27 years that he has accomplished this feat. The PGA TOUR would later correct that and say it was the first time since 1998 – 21 years – that Mickelson had hit every fairway during his round.

It’s Pebble Beach week and the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is known as a place where time seems to stand still, where it’s who you know and how much dough you have that determines what sort of status you have during this week.

Take for example, 2003 Masters Champion Mike Weir. Usually a protected species here because his six-handicap amateur partner, George Roberts, a rich venture capitalist, loves playing with the Canadian, Weir is not amongst the eight Canadians teeing it up Thursday.

Instead, Roberts has the long-hitting Cameron Champ as his new amateur partner and who can blame him for wanting to play with the new “It Guy” on the PGA TOUR.

In this first 2019 version of The PGA TOUR's The Good, Bad & Unusual, Teryn Gregson recaps the Sentry Tournament of Champions, where Xander Schauffele’s clutch final round performance made him the first multiple-winner of the season.

Golfers shared their New Year’s Resolutions and tried to navigate the new rules changes with some pretty unusual moments.

Scotland's Russell Knox might have won the 2018 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open in dramatic fashion this past summer, but not every shot he took went quite where he intended...

Knox had just finished eating an apple and was intending to toss the core into the long gorse surrounding the green, when something caught his eye...and apparently his aim. Watch.

Okay, most golfers have heard the phrase, "It's not how...it's how many," or "There's no pictures on the scorecard," when it comes to getting a result in a game of golf despite what may be less than exemplary methods. 

South Korean golf professional Ho-Sung Choi has created a new standard. His incredibly unique 'golf swing' has just enabled him to capture the Casio World Open on the Japan Golf Tour. It's actually his 2nd win on the tour but now people are starting to notice. Choi needs to be in a major...soon.

Just watch.

Of course the game of golf has gone through many changes over the years, quite notably the evolution of equipment. So how would today's top players fair having to hit a seemingly benign 180-yard shot - normally a 7-iron as Rickie Fowler put it, if they had to choose from only an array of old hickory-shafted clubs? 

Some not too bad...others, well, let's say they likely now have a greater appreciation for today's modern equipment.

When you hear the saying, "Golf is a game for life" what do you think is meant by it? Well, when you meet people who are living proof of that claim, you begin to understand.

Enter George Ross and Jerry Lawrence. They are half of a regular foursome of members at the beautiful Golden Golf Course in British Columbia.

George is a 93-year-old from Scotland who flew Spitfires and Hellcats for the British Navy at the tender age of 18. He arrived in Golden about fifteen years ago. George got newspapers from Canada, Australia and New Zealand before deciding to come here to stay.

8-year old Dean Janssens tee'd up in the 2018 KLM Open in the Beat the Pros competition, and it's safe to say he stole the show.

Golf fans will recall the hue and cry that accompanied the 2015 U.S. Open Championship held at Chambers Bay Golf Course just outside of Seattle. The condition of the greens was a widely talked about sore point with many of the players, media and fans alike. 

The good people at Chambers Bay heard those complaints and they are doing something about it in advance of the next championship they will host, the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship,originally scheduled to be held there in 2019,which will now happen in 2021 instead,moving to Bandon Dunesin Oregon for next year.

Watch this video to learn more about the decision to switch from all-fescue to poa greens at Chambers Bay GC and what it means for course conditions for hosting the 2021 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship. You'll hear from Matt Allen and Eric Johnson with Chambers Bay, and Larry Gilhuly with the USGA.

Many of us are familiar with having a golf ball interfered with during the course of play by an 'outside agency' (see Rule 18-1). In this video you'll see another example of the many unknowns that await us during a round of golf.

Some may recall a song from the 1970's (1974, to be exact) called Fox On The Run by Sweet - well here's the golf video tribute to that tune.

Recently T.J. Auclair from the PGA of America paid homage to one of the most popular and oft-quoted golf movies of all time on the occasion of its 38th birthday on July 25th. In so doing he also provided us with his version of the top-5 golf movies ever made. Lists of this sort are always great fodder for debate and certainly for entertainment. That said, here is Auclair's ranking. - ed
