Jordan Spieth Turns Heads with Major Blunder at PGA Tour Event
Jordan Spieth Turns Heads with Major Blunder at PGA Tour Event originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite posting his worst round of the weekend on Sunday, Jordan Spieth managed to secure a top-10 finish at Muirfield Village. Spieth shot a 74 in the final round, landing in a five-way tie for seventh place at 1-under for the Memorial Tournament. Advertisement Scottie Scheffler continued his dominant run, winning the event by four strokes over Ben Griffin and five over Sepp Straka. But Spieth's final score isn't what everyone is talking about. Instead, attention has turned to his inconsistent and sometimes erratic play, including one moment that could have ended badly for a spectator. A clip shared by NUCLR Golf on social media shows Spieth turning on a shot during the final round of the Memorial Tournament. The ball veered off and came dangerously close to hitting a fan sitting just inside the roped-off gallery area: "Jordan Spieth nearly takes out a fan during the final round of the Memorial Tournament." Reactions flooded in after the video made the rounds: Advertisement "Almost had to change the meaning of 'memorial' tournament," one fan quickly mentioned. Here, a fan mentions it was not his only one: "This was one of three really lucky shots today." "Not safe anywhere near Spieth," points out a fan. A question many are asking: "Why would anyone stand in the line of fire…idc if he is a pro everyone hits bad shots." "Thats way to close for spectators for that thick of rough! They should be back 20-25 ft more, says this commenter. Lastly, this fan isn't impressed with Spieth's play: "Can't believe he still gets handout exemptions into these events, Charlie woods child be playing."

His quest for a career Grand Slam remains incomplete after falling short at the PGA Championship in May. His last PGA Tour win came in April 2022 at the RBC Heritage, where he edged out Patrick Cantlay in a playoff. While he's still one of golf's most recognizable names, Spieth hasn't quite regained the form that made him a household name in 2015. That season, he won five tournaments, including two majors, and earned over $12 million. He also led the PGA Tour in scoring average in 2017 and finished second on the money list.

Tiger Woods' TGL Files Trademark for New Team, but Not the City Expected
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The first season of TGL, an indoor golf simulator league started by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, was a raging success. During the first three months of the golf season, while the players were starting to gear up heading into The Masters in April, the hype around professional golf was at an all-time high. It has TGL to thank for that after many of the top stars on the PGA Tour were competing in prime time. Now, Woods is looking to build off of that heading into year two. Rumors have long suggested that an expansion team could be headed to TGL in 2026, and now some light has been shed on who that might be. TGL has filed a trademark for a presumed Detroit team, named Motor City Golf Club, according to NUCLR Golf. "The TGL Golf League appears to have filed a trademark for Motor City Golf Club in what may be an indication of the first expansion move for the league," NUCLR Golf wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Reports have indicated that one additional team could be added for this upcoming season."

More Photo by Megan Briggs/TGL/TGL via Getty Images A Detroit team would be a nice changeup from the current group of cities that have a squad in the league, most of which are coastal. However, the Motor City isn't the hub that many thought would be added to TGL. Previous speculation had thrown out there that Dallas or another Texas city could be getting a team as part of league expansion. The Lone Star State is an obvious candidate to be added to TGL, as it is home to two of the best and most popular players in the sport. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and three-time major champion Jordan Spieth were both born in Dallas and both played college golf at the University of Texas in Austin. Neither star played in TGL this season, so a team in Dallas could also attract both of them to play in 2026. The star power that Scheffler and Spieth would add plenty of flare to the already-loaded league. Still, expansion in any big city is a win for TGL. More PGA Tour stars who have a prominent role in the first chapters of the story of the golf season will only draw in more fans, so bring on Motor City Golf Club.
