Quick Recap: Wells Fargo Championship
For the last week, as he’s been for the last year, Rory McIlroy was distracted by off-course drama.
This time, it was the whole kerfuffle with his spot on the PGA Tour policy board, or rather, the lack thereof - a process he referred to as “complicated” and “messy”.
That mess was followed by rumors of a rift between Tiger Woods and Rory.
Rory downplayed it, but it seems that Tiger and the rest of the members of the board don’t agree with Rory on what the future of golf looks like.
Then Rory was appointed to a different, sub-committee, who’s purpose is to handle negotiations with PIF, I guess.
Yet, despite all of the bullsh*t, we got to see a resurgent Rory on Sunday.
He had an eight-hole charge where he made four birdies and two eagles. Despite a closing double bogey, he still ended up beating Xander Schauffele by five strokes.
Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Brooks Koepka are headed into the 2024 PGA Championship having all won their last start. That’s the best golf news the men’s professional game has had in a while.

Your Brain On Golf
Let me guess - you’ve been playing for a LOOONG time, and you’re at a point where you’re not quite as good as you used to be, right?
Well keep reading because I’m about to share the secret to "rewinding the clock" and getting your skills back… And you'll most likely get a little extra too!
Oh, and I can pretty much guarantee this is like nothing you’ve ever tried before.
The video shows you how to get back to where you were, and also WHY it’s been so hard for you to maintain as you get older.
Trust me, if you’re anything like the golfers we tested this on, you’re about to have a pretty mind-blowing experience.
Go ahead and watch the video now.
It’s not very long, and I can pretty much guarantee you’ll learn something.

“I’m trying to act the way that Jordan Spieth did to me.”

Quote: "I'm trying to act the way that Jordan Spieth did to me that one time just because I know it's so little for me to do that to some little kid, but I know to that kid it means the world because that's what it was like for me."
Blades Brown, who finished 22nd at the Myrtle Beach Classic as a 16 year old this week, talking about Jordan Spieth talking to him as a fan at the 2018 Masters.
Stat: Rory McIlroy averaged 325 yards per drive this past weekend. 325!
Read: Jordan Spieth is also going for a career grand slam. No one is talking about it.
Thing We’d Buy: Vintage Hats
I was scrolling Instagram this weekend and came across Old School Hats page and man, do they have some great hats.
If you can’t find one for yourself, you can definitely find one for a golf buddy.
That’s all folks! See you Wednesday with some PGA Championship picks powered by Rithmm.
