The 2023 Ryder Cup Was the Cultural Reset Golf Needed
The Ryder Cup doesn't need anything extra to feel special. It doesn't need to be held in a city where competitive sport has been practiced for thousands of years. It doesn't need a golf course where an ancient castle overlooks the 1st tee, nor does it need a meme that prompted people to wonder how often they think about the Roman Empire. It just so happens that all of those things surrounded the tournament this year.2023 was the year that Succession concluded and sprezzatura became everyone’s new favorite scrabble word. It was the year that Instagram feeds became flooded with fit checks in coastal Italian towns. And at the end of it, the Ryder Cup landed in Rome.It was a tournament that ultimately pleased the home fans, as the Europeans, captained by Luke Donald, raced out to a big lead on...

Meet Keegan Bradley: The Original Jordan Golf Athlete
Keegan Bradley’s golf career has followed the trajectory of a ball hit from behind a tree, narrowly avoiding a branch then soaring high through the air, finishing on the green 30 feet from the pin. The muted response from the gallery suggests a tinge of disappointment, but it was a pretty damn good shot.His outsider status has in many ways shaped his relationship with the game. Bradley comes from Vermont, an area not known for producing top golfers, and went to a college that would seldom appear on any list of top golf schools. But he persisted, and from relative anonymity produced a rookie season that nobody saw coming, winning the PGA Championship and the HP Byron Nelson Championship.
