RBC Heritage 2025 – Recap: Justin Thomas Ends Drought with Playoff Win at Harbour Town

This marks Thomas’s 16th win on the PGA TOUR, achieved in his 250th career start, and places him in historic company alongside names like Mark O’Meara, Tom Weiskopf, and Jack Burke Jr. His victory came nearly three years and 59 starts after his last, but if Sunday was any indication, he’s still got plenty more to give.

After opening with a blistering 10-under 61—matching the tournament’s all-time 18-hole scoring record—Thomas battled through the weekend with a mix of steady iron play and signature short-game touch. He entered the final round one shot off the lead and ground out a closing 68 to finish at 17-under-par, forcing extra holes with Novak, who played in the final group.

Once in the playoff, Thomas didn’t flinch. On the famed par-4 18th, he stuck his approach to...

Simplicity is the name of the game for Matsuyama

Hideki Matsuyama has a simple theory as to how he could potentially complete a rare collection of trophies associated to three legends of the game at this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.

“It’s very simple really … hit the ball straight and make a lot of putts,” he said with a smile.

Matsuyama, Asia’s winningest golfer on the PGA TOUR with 11 career victories, obviously knows it’s easier said than done at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Florida this week but having won the Jack Nicklaus-hosted Memorial Tournament presented by Workday in 2014 and last season’s Genesis Invitational, which is hosted by Tiger Woods, he has added drive to win another tournament linked to the great, Arnold Palmer.

A return to Bay Hill is always a...

What happens if your ball strikes another players ball? Golfing Rules, Seriously!

On the course this past weekend, I putt from just off the green and my ball struck my playing partners ball, knocking it closer to the hole.

After a quick giggle, we began to discuss the ruling, 'I'll play from there and its a one-shot penalty for you' my friend said. 'I was off the green' I said, 'Doesn't matter' he said. Right, I said. 'Hang on, and I'll consult the rule book'.

Luckily, I had The R&A's Rules of Golf on my phone (Well worth a download and it's FREE)

Without quoting the book verbatim, there are basically three scenarios which you should be mindful of:

On the Fairway (updated June 14th, 2023) If your ball strikes a fellow player's ball on the fairway by accident, The 9.6 rule comes into affect, meaning If my ball...

What happens if I ground my club in a bunker? The new rules of golf explained

In 2020, the US Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews (R&A) made several changes to the rules of golf.

One major change was to the "drop procedure" when a ball is lost or out of bounds. Players are now allowed to drop the ball from shoulder height, rather than knee height, making the process more consistent and less prone to mistakes. Another change was to the rule regarding penalty strokes. Players will no longer be penalized for accidentally moving a ball on the green, such as when marking or lifting it.

Additionally, players are now allowed to repair almost any damage to the course, such as spike marks on the green. The changes also include simplifying the rules for bunkers, allowing players to touch or move loose impediments...
