Rickie Fowler Makes Personal Announcement Days Before The Open
Rickie Fowler is one of the most fashion-forward figures in the game of golf, and has been ever since his shaggy hair and bright orange outfits burst onto the professional golf scene in 2009.

This is thanks in part to his longstanding partnership with PUMA, which Fowler, 36, has been rocking ever since his first year on tour. The legendary brand has made everything from Fowler's iconic flat-brimmed "P" hats and stylish monochromatic outfits, to his trend setting TitanTour Ignite Hi-Top SE golf shoes and flashy floral print polos.
Needless to say, the six-time PGA Tour winner and PUMA have been known to make a fashion statement, and the duo have partnered with premium athletic wear brand, Reigning Champ, to create an evocative new collection that blurs athletic boundaries.
Inspired by the universal language of sport and drawing on PUMA's soccer heritage, The PUMA x Reigning Champ Field to Fairway collection bridges the worlds of soccer and golf to re-imagine the golfer's kit.

'As an athlete and lifelong sports fan, I love how the Field to Fairway collection celebrates sport at an international level. Both sports continue to grow on the world stage, we're in a Ryder Cup year and the World Cup is just around the corner, so this feels like the perfect time to collab,' Fowler said in a press release. 'It's a sharp collection and I look forward to wearing it in competition.'
Founded in 2007, Reigning Champ is a leading designer of premium athletic apparel inspired by the culture of sport. Their classic and timeless designs are made with the highest quality materials to ensure a stylish and long lasting fit whether you're on the course, at the gym, or hanging with friends after the round.
Reigning Champ's partnership was a natural fit for PUMA GOLF, who has always been on the forefront of modern golf attire. The PUMA x Reigning Champ Field to Fairway collection is more than apparel, however, according to Chris MacNeill, Global Director of Apparel and Accessories at PUMA GOLF. "It's a cultural crossover that resonates with today's global sports fan.'
The collection can be found at PUMA Golf and Reigning Champ starting today.

Scottie Scheffler Makes Personal Record at The Open
Scottie Scheffler Makes Personal Record at The Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler's performance on Friday's second round at Royal Portrush was nothing short of a masterpiece. Drawing inspiration from Rory McIlroy's recent 'artist vs. scientist' debate, where McIlroy quipped, 'I'd like to think of myself more as an artist than a scientist… but with today's technology, we're probably more scientists than artists'. Scheffler claimed the 'artist' mantle and painted his course: a flawless 64 featuring eight birdies. Each stroke demonstrated creativity, precision and flair. His short game was one of his best in recent weeks, if not the best. In fact, his 18th was also going to be a birdie, taking his tally to nine, but the ball stopped just centimetres before the hole. By the 18th green, he had managed to turn foreign supporters into fans of his. Scheffler entered the week at 3‑under after an opening‑round 68, marked by five birdies and two bogeys, that left him three shots under par. By Friday's close, he surged to 10‑under overall, seizing the 36‑hole lead. His eight birdies through 18 holes set a personal single‑round record, eclipsing previous tallies of four in 2024 (rounds 1 and 4), five in 2023 (rounds 4), five in 2022 (rounds 1-3) and five in 2021 (rounds 1 and 2). The only blemish on his card came at the 11th, where a sudden torrential downpour led to his lone bogey, proof that even the greatest artists can be humbled by the elements. Hot on his heels is England's Matt Fitzpatrick, who posted a scintillating 66 to reach 9‑under, just one stroke adrift of Scheffler. Fitzpatrick's own display was nothing short of commendable, ensuring the weekend promises a head‑to‑head duel between two in‑form artists of the game. Looking forward, Scheffler's focus turns to lifting the Claret Jug, an achievement that would bring him one step closer to golf's elusive career Grand story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 18, 2025, where it first appeared.

Spieth Has High Praise for Scottie Scheffler
Spieth Has High Praise for Scottie Scheffler originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jordan Spieth didn't hold back when talking about Scottie Scheffler after his final round at the 2025 Open Championship. Following a tough week at Royal Portrush, Spieth was asked about Scheffler's continued dominance and delivered a candid comparison to one of the NBA's most respected stars. The statement summed up what much of the golf world already knows. Scheffler, who walked away with yet another major title at this year's Open, isn't flashy or loud. He's just consistently excellent. 'Nikola Jokic is the only guy I can think of that's a superstar that's equally unassuming in any sport in the modern era, and I'm happy if anybody else can find another example, but it's very rare,' Spieth said. 'That's what Scottie's like.' Scheffler's performance at Royal Portrush was just like a clinic on the game. Despite some challenging conditions at times and a course that gave several top players trouble, he stayed steady from start to finish. He closed Sunday with a 68 to win by four strokes, claiming his second major of the season and further cementing his status as the undisputed top player in the world. His only blemish was a double-bogey on the eighth hole. Meanwhile, Spieth's own tournament didn't go according to plan. After a tough start on Thursday, with a 73, he bounced back with a 69 on Friday to make the cut. Following a 72 on Saturday and 68 on Sunday, Spieth finished outside the top 30, marking yet another frustrating major showing for the 2017 Open champion. Still, Spieth knows greatness when he sees it. His Jokic comparison wasn't just a compliment; it was a recognition of how rare Scheffler's humility and excellence truly are. Like the Denver Nuggets star, Scheffler stays out of the spotlight off the course but dominates when it matters. While Spieth continues to chase his next big moment, he seems just as much a fan of the game's current king as the rest of us. Meanwhile, Scheffler will get a chance to finish the career grand slam next June at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York.

Bryson DeChambeau's ‘uncomfortable exchange' with British Open ball spotter divides fans
Bryson DeChambeau is catching heat from some on social media after his exchange with a ball spotter at last week's British Open went viral. In a video shared Tuesday by Golf on CBS — that was titled 'An uncomfortable exchange between Bryson DeChambeau and a ball spotter at The Open' — the LIV Golf star asked the spotter where his ball landed in the rough at Royal Portrush, with the staffer pointing to the area. Before DeChambeau, 31, lined up to take the shot, the two-time major champion appeared to say 'thank you' and told the spotter, 'You can move out of the way.'

Golf on CBS/Youtube Advertisement Some golf fans took exception to the conversation and chided DeChambeau's actions in the post's comments. 'Come on Bryson, this is pathetic behavior, no matter how rich and good at golf you are,' one fan wrote. 'That was rude yo. Did you just exposed true self as a fake???' another posted. 5 Some fans took exception to his behavior and called him out in the comments. REUTERS Advertisement DeChambeau rallied to a 10th-place finish at the final major of the year after carding an ugly 7-over 78 in the opening round — As the DeChambeau pile-on continued in the comments, with some likening the behavior to 'childish' and a 'lack of class,' others spoke out in defense of the former U.S. Open champion following a seemingly innocuous exchange. 'That wasn't so bad. People just being their typical judgmental selves when they're not in the situation,' a fan posted. 'People overreacting on what he said. Nothing to see here,' another expressed.

He opened the major season on a high note in April when he sealed his best Masters finish with a tie for fifth. He followed up that performance a month later with a tie for second at the PGA Championship. 5 The two-time major champion played through the weekend at Royal Portrush and finished tied for 10th place. REUTERS Although DeChambeau failed to defend his 2024 U.S. Open title after missing the cut in June, he played his way through the weekend in Northern Ireland after a bumpy British Open start. 'I was able to hold myself together under the pressure and fight for every shot,' DeChambeau said after shooting a 7-under 64 in Sunday's final round for a 9-under par total. 'I'm super proud of the round I played today. Just wish I could have that 78 back.' Scottie Scheffler went on to capture his second major of the year with an overall score of 17-under. He won the PGA Championship in May.
