Good morning. Happy Monday! We hope you had a great weekend. Here’s a look at the biggest stories you missed in the golf world: Viktor Hovland tames the Snake Pit to win the Valspar Championship, Adam Hadwin wishes he had a mulligan, and Tiger has a new girlfriend—plus much more. Let’s dive in!
🎂 Happy Birthday! – 2013 PGA champion Jason Dufner celebrates his 48th birthday today.
🤔 Golf Trivia – During the second round of the 2013 PGA Championship, Jason Dufner tied the record for the lowest round in major championship history, shooting 63 with seven birdies and no bogeys. Since then, four men have gone even lower, shooting 62 in a major. Can you name them? (Answer at the bottom)
Viktor Hovland won the Valspar Championship on Sunday and has no idea how it happened. His swing is so out of sorts that Hovland has gone through five coaches since he won the FedEx Cup in 2023.
He had gone eight months without making a 36-hole cut against a full field. Three shots behind with five to play, he rallied with three birdies to pass Justin Thomas and close with a 4-under 67 for a one-shot victory.
Age doesn’t have to mean less distance. The Maxvert 2 Driver is helping golfers pick up as much as 40 yards off the tee—no swing changes required.
With a lightweight shaft, optimized weighting, and a huge sweet spot, it delivers easy launch, straighter ball flight, and consistent power—even when you don’t catch it perfectly.
Tiger Woods has confirmed his relationship with the former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump, publishing two images to social media in a post that said, “Love is in the air.”
