Founder @normalsport -- I use golf to write about life.
Sunday was the most emotion I've ever felt about a round of golf. But almost certainly not for the reason that you think. On all those tears, all that dreaming and a phone call that I'll remember forever. normalsport.com/newsletter/the…
And he never breaks character. You can call it boring, but I'd call it an incredible feat of grasping some semblance of a real human life from the hellish morass of over-exposure and attention-seeking that constitutes modern life.
Wait... did Scottie just become an ELITE putter? I went deep into the data to find the answer. Let's dive in 🧵
Final leaderboard of players who played all 16 rounds in the majors in 2025: -32: Scheffler 🏆🏆 -11: McIlroy 🏆 -10: Xander -6: Rahm -5: English -1: Fitzpatrick -1: Hatton +1: Spaun 🏆 +3: Hovland +3: Rai +5: McNealy +6: Burns +7: Berger +14: Hojgaard +17: Harman
I *am* a Christian, and I agree with what KVV said here. The older I get, the more I believe that the hardest part of the Christian life is to refrain from running to one extreme or the other in specific disciplines. Work, money, fitness, all of it. It's equally easy to make…
I've been thinking a lot about Scottie's comments this week, and I'm not sure anyone has viewed them the way I did, so if you don't mind, I want to share why they resonated with me: Don't let your job define who you are.
Scottie's SG rankings since Jan. 1, 2024 (min. 75 measured rounds). Off the tee: 4 (better than Ludvig) Approach: 1 Around the green: 6 (better than Henley) Putting: 10 (better than Harman) Ball-striking: 1 Tee to green: 1 Overall: 1 Truly outrageous stuff.
What's the point? Three of them from this Open that I think actually matter quite a lot. normalsport.com/newsletter/eve…
Hello friends. A few weeks ago, the partners at NoLayingUp let me know they wanted to make a change and move forward without me as full-time member of the team. I decided I needed to pursue full-time opportunities, and they of course understood. So we are parting.
Maybe the most golf dad moment of all time. The Claret Jug in one hand and a pacifier in the other. Frame it.

If you blindly bet $100 on Scottie Scheffler to win every week this year, you'd be up $185.
I think some of you may be stunned to learn that Jordan Spieth, who some people are saying won't be on the U.S. team (?), has been playing better golf than all but four Europeans over the last six months.

Here are the updated U.S. Ryder Cup standings. What stands out?

Data Golf now has Scottie with four of the 20 best seasons of the last 40 years. Tiger: 8 Scottie: 4 Vijay: 3 Rory: 2 Norman: 1 Spieth: 1 Price: 1

Wait... did they photoshop Scottie's hairline? 👀
First 25 major starts. Scottie is hanging with the greats....
These are both of their age 26-29 seasons, by the way.
