What caused NBC's tournament-deciding commercial gaffe at Bay Hill
Golf fans were outraged at NBC after the network only caught a snippet of Russell Henley's tournament-deciding chip-in live.
*taps mic* is this thing on?
How'd NBC miss the defining moment of a tournament they broadcast at Bay Hill? And why?
I looked into the heart of golf's commercial problem — which goes much deeper than an honest mistake golf.com/news/nbc-mis...

How Dottie Pepper became CBS Golf's unflinching voice of reason
Dottie Pepper is CBS's brilliant, fearless on-course analyst, but the key to her success has little to do with TV.
l spent a day at Pebble Beach with CBS’s Dottie Pepper, where I learned about a secret knee replacement, a wordless language, and a hidden repository of sticky notes.
Mostly, though, I learned the secret to her on-air brilliance isn’t where, but *why* golf.com/news/dottie-...

He is absolutely a HOFer. The most clutch quarterback of the last 25 years. Architect of two Super Bowl winning drives against the GOAT.
Stupid discourse about “first-ballot.” It’s about the resume, and he has it.

Pebble Beach was whipping on Saturday.
Scottie Scheffler said he hit a 5-iron on the 10th hole 155 yards.
“And I *STRIPED* it.”

Pretty epic stuff for the PGA Tour's Richy Werenski. SEVEN shots outside of the cutline with 10 holes to play on Friday in Bermuda.
Makes 7 birdies, including a last-hole chip-in, to make the cut in a downpour. Then shoots a bogey-free 65 on Saturday to move into position for a Top-25 finish!
