On the surface, it sounds a little strange to hear that Teejay Alderdice’s experience as one of Canada’s top skiers prepared him for his career and successes in the golf industry. A Past President of the PGA of Canada and most recent recipient of the PGA of Ontario Executive Professional of the Year Award, Alderdice makes a lot of sense, however, when he explains it. “Skiing and golf are both individual sports so it was easy to take my training, work ethic, and desires from skiing and implement them towards success in golf,” he says. “That was the easy part. Learning all the nuances of the gam ..read more

The Greatest Masters Ever In the annals of golf history, few moments resonate as profoundly as Jack Nicklaus’ remarkable victory at the 1986 Masters Tournament. At the age of 46, the Golden Bear defied all odds, crafting a back-nine performance that would etch his name into the sport’s hallowed lore. Nicklaus arrived at Augusta National in 1986 as a seasoned veteran, a man who had already secured five Green Jackets. Yet, this time, the whispers were different. Skeptics questioned whether the Olden Bear still possessed the magic to compete at the highest level. His opening rounds of 7 ..read more

It’s strange what happens to many golfers as they hit a golf shot. One moment, they’re standing over the ball, going through their pre-shot checklist in their head like a pilot before takeoff, the club starts to go back … and then whack! The ball is in the air. It’s like they’ve just come back to consciousness. While the club is in motion, it’s as if they blacked out. Something happened; they’re not sure what. For a skilled golfer, that might not be a bad thing. In this video (fast forward to the 2:00 mark), Tiger Woods talks about “blackout moments” where he didn’t remember performing a shot ..read more

Each week we ask our panel of writers, PGA members and golf industry experts to weigh in with their views on the hot topics of the day. As always, there are a number of compelling storylines about the year’s first major. From Justin Thomas breaking up with caddie Bones Mackay to Ludvig Aberg playing in his first major to Tiger Woods abstaining from sex to prep for Augusta, each story adds colour to the Masters but isn’t likely to factor into the final outcome. In your mind, what’s the most compelling story around this year’s tournament? Jim Deeks, Fairways Magazine (@jimdeeks): I didn’t have o ..read more

Sarah Kellam / LPGA LAS VEGAS, NV: The first win felt like a long time coming. The second was a breath of fresh air. The third was reminiscent of her 2021 season, a year that saw the now 25-year-old capture four victories, including her first major title, and win gold at the Tokyo Olympics. But the fourth? There’s only one word to describe Nelly Korda’s latest triumph – dominant. You could feel it coming when she played her way into the top eight at the T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards, when she defeated her Solheim Cup teammate Angel Yin 3 and 2 in the quarterfinals and when she t ..read more
