Every morning: what happened on tour, what got launched, and what it actually means for a golfer who still three-putts. Short summaries, a credited link to the original story, and an honest take. No clickbait, no copy-paste.
PGA Tour, Korn Ferry, LPGA, DP World, LIV and Champions. Who won, who collapsed, who you should care about.
New clubs, launch monitors and sims, with the sticker price and a “do you need it” gut check.
One line of opinion per story. Sometimes useful. Always honest.
Live scores straight from the tours.
Every story here is summarized in my own words, with credit and a link to the original publisher. Go read theirs — they did the reporting. I just added the jokes. Last updated Nov 1, 2026.
Bermuda’s final round got blown off the island, so Smotherman and Seamus Power settled it by playing the same par-3 16th three times. Smotherman two-putted for par to make it back-to-back wins after Utah. I’ve also played the same hole three times in a row. It was called “reloading.”

Read the full story at LPGA / Associated Press →At the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea, Yoshida came from four shots back on Sunday and won by one over Haeran Ryu and Hye-Jin Choi. Both she and the overnight leader bogeyed the last, which is the most relatable thing I’ve ever seen at a tour event.
Read the full story at LPGA →Katsuragawa started the Genesis Championship 106th in the Race to Dubai, needing a big week to keep his card. He matched the course record on Saturday, then made 16 pars on Sunday and won by two. Sixteen pars in a round. I’d frame that scorecard.
Read the full story at DP World Tour →Chacarra played 25 holes in one day at Delhi Golf Club to win the DP World India Championship by two, his third win of 2026, and jumped Patrick Reed for the top spot in the rankings. He did it after recently breaking a toe. I take a cart if my sock bunches.
Read the full story at DP World Tour →Two new big-forgiveness mallets with Odyssey’s Ai-Star insert and a long “Twin Track” alignment system. Listed at $349.99 (TRTL) and $399.99 (MAX S2S), available Nov 6. Do I need one? My putting says yes. My wallet says I already have six putters in the garage.

With the PGA Show in Orlando coming in January, this one is relevant to my interests — and to my driver’s survival.
Read the full story at National Club Golfer →A 300cc, 13-degree mini driver pitched as driver distance with fairway-wood control, now with a thinner face and four adjustable sole weights. That’s PXG’s claim, not my test. As a guy who just made a whole film about 7-woods vs 4-irons, I am absolutely the target audience for “one more weird club.”

The new $899.99 MLM2X Pro adds simulated putting, a top-mounted status screen and a first-ever PC app, with 4K courses behind a paid membership. As someone who wrote a whole article on what a home sim really costs, I’m noting those yearly memberships.

Read the full story at National Club Golfer →Discovery Land’s private Maverick club near U.S. 377 is opening its 18-hole Tom Fazio championship course Nov. 6, the centerpiece of a high-end home community. It’s private, so it won’t be landing on my DFW map of places I can actually play. But a guy can dream from the road.
Read the full story at The Dallas Morning News →Halbert National in Granbury, about 40 miles from Fort Worth, is a Tom Fazio design built for one family. It hosted the first Abilene Christian Intercollegiate, with SMU, Baylor, Houston and Texas A&M in the field. A course where nobody can watch you play? That’s the most relatable billionaire purchase I’ve ever heard of.
