Watch: Billy Horschel swings lefty, makes improbable birdie at 2025 Valspar Championship
Billy Horschel reminded us yet again that these guys are good on the PGA Tour. First, Horschel found a spot of bother at the par-5 fifth hole at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Florida, during the final round of the 2025 Valspar Championship.
His second shot stopped in the left rough, 126 yards from the hole. With tree trouble preventing him from taking much of a swing right-handed, Horschel turned to the other side and flipped his club over for a lefty swipe at it and hit a beauty. How good? It landed on the green, stopping 32 feet from the hole.
"Wow, what a shot!" exclaimed Mark Rolfing on Golf Channel.
"No way!" What did we just watch?" wondered colleague in the booth, Smylie Kaufman. He later added, "What amazed me was it looked like a normal wedge shot in the air at the apex and everything."
"How good was that?" host Steve Sands said. "That's the shot of the day."
But Horschel wasn't done yet. He rolled in the putt for an unlikely birdie. Horschel and caddie Micah Fugitt couldn't help smiling and having a giggle over their highway robbery.

"That was something else," Sands said.
"That is the up-and-down of all time," Kaufman gushed. "What did we just watch?"
A wild, improvisational birdie that will go down as one of the shots of the tournament.

Phil Mickelson walks in silence in possibly his last U.S. Open
OAKMONT, Pa. — As Phil Mickelson, aka Lefty, aka Phil the Thrill, aka FIGJAM, aka one of the two most famous golfers of the 21st century, teed off Thursday in what might be his final U.S. Open, there were more security guards than journalists following him. And there were two security guards. Clad in HyFlyers gear, looking more trim than he ever did during his apex of popularity, Mickelson — like many of his fellow competitors at Oakmont — played well on the back nine and struggled on the front en route to a 4-over 74. And like most of his fellow competitors, he walked in virtual silence from the galleries, with only an occasional 'Go Phil!' punctuating the silence. Advertisement By this point, Mickelson's fall from golf's good graces isn't just well-documented, it's canon. Once the darling of the golf world — the rascally, cocky yin to Tiger Woods' steely yang — Mickelson lived a charmed life, getting himself into and out of trouble both on and off the golf course. He somehow radiated arrogant confidence while remaining a hero of the everyman. But then the Saudis came calling, and Mickelson couldn't resist their siren call, or the chance to stick it to the PGA Tour. Even though Mickelson turned out to be right about the ways the PGA Tour needed to change, the way he went about it with cynical opportunism turned the majority of his former fans against him. Advertisement Mickelson and the U.S. Open have a long and complicated history all their own. He's finished in second place six different times, an incredible run of almost-good-luck that's kept him from claiming the career grand slam. Matters bottomed out in 2018, when Mickelson, in frustration, hit a still-moving ball at Shinnecock Hills en route to a T48 finish. He's missed the cut at four of the last five U.S. Opens, including the last three. And as of this year, he's all out of the exemptions that he'd earned for winning the 2021 PGA Championship … meaning, if he wants back in, he'll need to either receive a special exemption from the USGA, or play his way back in. 'We hope he earns his way in, and I think he'd tell you the same thing,' USGA chief championships officer John Bodenhamer said on Wednesday. 'That's what he did last time. We gave him one, and then he went out and won the PGA Championship. So, wouldn't put it past him.' Phil Mickelson gives a thumbs up as he plays the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday at Oakmont Country Club. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster) (ASSOCIATED PRESS) Expecting a performance that would qualify him to play in another U.S. Open is a pretty tall order at this point. Mickelson has three top-10 finishes in seven LIV Golf events this year, including a T4 last week in Virginia where he spent time in the lead. Advertisement For a moment on Thursday, it appeared that momentum had carried through to Oakmont. He made the turn at even par, good enough to stay within sight of the leaders. But a bogey-bogey-double start to his second nine effectively crushed his day, leaving him eight strokes behind clubhouse leader J.J. Spaun. Mickelson declined to speak to the media after he finished, and will have perhaps just one more opportunity to perform before a U.S. Open gallery. Thirty-one years ago, Arnold Palmer also bade farewell to the U.S. Open, also at Oakmont. He walked up the 18th hole to waves of applause and tears. Regardless of how his career has flickered in the last few years, Mickelson will likely receive the same treatment. It will be a well-deserved coda to his career, but you can't help but wonder what the reception would be without the last few years coloring his reputation.

PGA Tour to hire NFL executive Brian Rolapp as CEO of business enterprise, AP source says
The PGA Tour is hiring longtime NFL executive Brian Rolapp as the first CEO of its new commercial division, created two years ago when tour reached a tentative agreement with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf, The Associated Press confirmed Thursday. Jay Monahan, who announced the framework agreement in June 2023, will stay on as commissioner of the PGA Tour. Monahan announced in December the search for a CEO of PGA Tour Enterprises, now backed by a $1.5 billion investment from Strategic Sports Group. The tour declined comment on the hiring, first reported by Sports Business Journal. A person with direct knowledge of the tour's plans confirmed the hiring, speaking on condition of anonymity because nothing has been announced. Such developments typically are not publicized during major championships. Rolapp has been with the NFL since 2003 and has been executive vice president and chief media and business officer since 2017, working closely with Commissioner Roger Goodell. Sports Business Journal obtained a memo Goodell sent to staff Thursday announcing Rolapp would be leaving to pursue other opportunities. Monahan announced an agreement with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, which was never finalized. From that framework agreement came a for-profit arm, PGA Tour Enterprises, which Rolapp would oversee. The tour brought on SSG in January 2024, and soon announced a first-of-its-kind equity plan for players. Monahan said in December of the CEO search, 'We're bringing new perspectives on to our team to help us realize the incredible opportunities ahead for our sport.' Meanwhile, negotiations with PIF to bring the world's best players together stalled in the spring, even with the involvement of President Donald Trump, as LIV Golf wants to keep its team concept in place. LIV Golf since has hired Scott O'Neil as its new CEO. Rolapp brings strong media connections to the PGA Tour which is starting to plan for new broadcast deals that run through 2030. The PGA Tour has seen a strong uptick this year through extensive feedback with its fans, including a recent decision to revamp the Tour Championship to crown its FedEx Cup champion. Arthur Blank, the Atlanta Falcons owner who is part of SSG, was part of the search committee that included Tiger Woods and Adam Scott, Monahan, PGA Tour board chairman Joe Gorder and Sam Kennedy from SSG. ___ AP golf: Doug Ferguson, The Associated Press Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

The PGA Tour unveiled a new tracer that is absolutely incredible
The PGA Tour is with our friends up north this week with the RBC Canadian Open. Given that the U.S. Open is next week there is obviously a lot of buzz in the air. During the opening round of play on Thursday the Tour unveiled something rather amazing during the broadcast. While we are used to seeing shot tracers used all of the time, this particular one following Shane Lowry's tee shot was different. Advertisement As you can see Lowry's tracer line changed colors from blue to green. The green signifies that the shot is likely to find the fairway. If Lowry's drive were to be headed too far right or left then the tracer would have been red. This is absolutely amazing. This technology was implemented at times throughout the rest of Thursday and the days after and showed a variety of shots and therefore colors. Sometimes one drive would start off red and change to green, this is because it is all based on how the technology is predicting the drive will fare. It is difficult to innovate in our current day and age because technology surrounds us at every turn. But this was an awesome development from the PGA Tour, one that is hopefully a sign of more to come in the future.
