This is one of my favorite Masters stories I've ever written. It's about 1986, my love of the written word, and the legendary sportswriter (Dave Kindred) who missed the greatest tournament ever, but got two incredible letters in return. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/mas...

As part of our Masters preview at @friedegggolf.bsky.social, I went deep on Scottie Scheffler and the search for meaning. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/sco...

I don’t get to say chuffed much so: Absolutely chuffed to talk to @kvanvalkenburg.bsky.social about golf’s addiction to Tiger Woods on this week’s Phantom Island podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

ICYMI, I think this piece will be worth your time — especially if you find the world’s best golfer “boring.”

What are the Greatest Shots in Masters History? (Modern history.) Joseph LaMagna and I went deep into the YouTube archives this spring to put together the most ambitious version of this list ever attempted. We had so much fun with this project. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/ran...

Brendan, Andy and I talked about the Tiger news over the weekend. youtu.be/ofhlPSrZlzc?...

Before all this Tiger stuff happened, I wrote a review of the Rory documentary that's coming out soon. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/ror...

I wrote about the first round of the year. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/spr...

I wrote an essay for Garden & Gun about my daughter bonding over my favorite book, which turns 40 this year. gardenandgun.com/articles/fat...

Rory McIlroy and I decided to try and bring back the old Sunday Conversation format. On his future, his motivations, his life as a dad, and what you do when you actually accomplish your biggest goal. youtu.be/_R7GFYW0CB8?...

The PGA Tour wants to be as ruthless as the people pushing AI as the solution to all our problems. It’s about to treat its serf class as replaceable or expendable. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/pga...

Love these spooky ass trees.

Is Viktor Hovland golf’s Stanley Kubrick? I explain in today’s @friedegggolf.bsky.social newsletter www.thefriedegg.com/articles/pga...

In today’s @friedegggolf.bsky.social newsletter, I wrote a Winter Golfer’s Lament. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/win...

This is really good. www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

How well do you remember the Patrick Reed Experience? We came up with a little quiz to see if you can ID each infamous quote by Reed or about him. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/pga...

A stunner from @dvnjr.bsky.social and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

"Sam Darnold. The Carolina Panthers quarterback?"

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Really proud of that @friedegggolf.bsky.social and @garrettmorrison.bsky.social could partner with Pablo Torre Finds Out to explain this important story, and Garrett's reporting is excellent. This is an important story that goes beyond golf and politics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dJa...

In honor of Caleb Williams throw to Cole Kmet, I tried to come up with a list of golf shots you'd put in the Hall of Almost Fame, hero shots in a losing effort. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/bes...

Is Scottie in the midst of an unthinkable run where he's going to rack up a dozen majors over the next decade? Probably not. But we also can't close the door on the possibility either. A short essay for @friedegggolf.bsky.social to kick off Scheffler's season.

Golf hardos love to tell you that you shouldn't be playing blades. They fundamentally misunderstand why some of us play the game. Don't let em bully or shame you. #YOTB A column for our @friedegggolf.bsky.social newsletter. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/ror...

Jarrett Stidham rn:

With Jordan Spieth, its the hope that kills you. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/pga...

great writing from KVV with some insightful points about the value of work and why you should take your chances since the company/university/boss will never love you back.

Vijay Singh doesn't owe anyone a graceful goodbye. And no, he is not taking anyone's spot. An ode to the idea that you are welcome reap the rewards of your years of work. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/vij...

The Lowdown is the best damn show not enough people are watching. I can exclusively report that FX has ordered a second season of the delightful Ethan Hawke comic mystery series: www.whatsalanwatching.com/the-lowdown-...

Failed in basically all my goals this year except one: Made a vow to reconnect with people by phone I hadn't talked to in years. Led to some super fulfilling, fun catch ups. Might run it back in '26. Less texting, more talking.

Tiger Woods turns 50 this week. It made me think about how easy it is to look backwards, and get lost in nostalgia, and how important is is to look forward. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/fiv...

Very fun moment on this week's Shotgun Start pod when Rory appeared by surprise, then shared with us a gift his caddie Harry had given him for Christmas, a gift no one else could appreciate like he could.

A true treat for @splitzoneduo.com subscribers today as the great @kvanvalkenburg.bsky.social joins us to talk about the Montanan meaning of the Brawl of the Wild (corporate name that locals don't actually use, as we have learned) www.splitzoneduo.com/p/montana-vs...

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

To wrap up our week of mulling The Year of Rory, I wrote about the joys of being wrong about an athlete, for @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/ror...

Joe Flacco has become something better than ‘elite’

Need something to read, watch or listen to this holiday season? We gathered up our favorite non-Fried Egg content in golf media this year and linked it all in one place. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/con...

"Collecting that experience" is an incredible euphemism for "Asking a guy about the fact that more than a dozen women accused him of sexual misconduct"

In this week's KVV Mailbag for @friedegggolf.bsky.social I picked my Top 5 karaoke songs, compared golfer to FNL characters, and contemplated a world where Rory didn't win the Masters. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/gol...

This week in @friedegggolf.bsky.social, I wrote a few words about mental health and in praise of the golf buddy. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/in-...

Gary Player declaring himself the third best golfer of all time is cool, but you know what's really cool? The Fried Egg staff each declaring our GOAT Halloween candy. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/bes...

I think people being upset about Good Good sponsoring a PGA Tour event is mostly performative, but even if it's genuine, the idea that we suddenly have standards for sponsors in golf is a lie. I wrote about for the @friedegggolf.bsky.social newsletter. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/pga...

So good.

How many swings does Tiger have left? I pondered the question in today's @friedegggolf.bsky.social newsletter. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/pga...

For this week's Monday @friedegggolf.bsky.social newsletter, I wrote about Dustin Johnson and Robert MacIntyre and different kinds of cool. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/dun...

I had three final thoughts from the Ryder Cup, but No. 3 is probably the one that will linger. The fans who screamed vile stuff about Rory and his wife? In the Hall of Fame of Losers. www.thefriedegg.com/articles/202...
