Worlds #1 Coach Shares Right Arm Secrets

Preview: The Wells Fargo Championship

Good news.

We’re going from a birdie-fest at TPC Craig Ranch to one of the most difficult courses on TOUR at Quail Hollow.

In fact, the difficult three-hole closing stretch from 16-18 known as the “Green Mile” got even longer this year.

The Wells Fargo Championship is a signature event, which means no-cut and an elevated field.

Scottie Scheffler will not be competing this week as he and his wife expect their first child and Ludvig Aberg pulled out due to soreness in his knee.

Otherwise, some of the best golfers in the world will be teeing up and looking to groove their games ahead of the PGA Championship next week.

🚩 Location: Quail Hollow

💰 Purse: $20M - $3.6M to first.

👀 Watch On: CBS, ESPN+, Golf Channel

👑 Previous Winners:

  • 2023: Wyndham Clark (-19)

  • 2022: Max Homa (-8)

  • 2021: Rory McIlroy (-10)

What The Analytics Say: You better be able to hit it long and straight. Quail Hollow is 7500+ yards off the tee and most of the approach shots will be in the 175-200yd range.

What Our Guts Tell Us: If Scottie isn’t playing, it’s wide open.

Shots Heard Round The World

⛳️ Millenials Flocking To Golf Communities Has Some Retirees Fuming. Across the U.S., millennials have planted their flags around retirement golf communities and are taking over the links with all the peskiness of the “Caddyshack” gopher — at least as far as some retirees see it.

🏆️ Nelly Korda Going For Six In A Row. Nelly Korda has won five consecutive tournaments and goes for the LPGA Tour record of six in a row. She shares the record with Nancy Lopez (1978) and Annika Sorenstam (2004-05). ... Korda took seven weeks off after her first win in the streak.

😡 You Live On A Golf Course! If you don't like stray golf balls (and the stray owners of them) in your yard, or the unfortunate possibility of a golf ball hitting your house, we'd strongly suggest you do not buy a house on a golf course. To most people, this is common sense.
