PGA golfer Adam Schenk somehow shot a ball into someone’s drink during The American Express

Glass-in-one!

During Thursday’s round of The American Express, PGA golfer Adam Schenk pulled off something staggering: he knocked his ball into a spectator’s drinking cup.

Yes, as improbable as it sounds, Schenk knocked his golf ball all the way across the green at the Coachella Valley as you’d expect for a shot.

However, the ball somehow found its way into someone’s glass watching the tournament.

While the drink as ruined, this spectator had quite a souvenir to take with him from the day’s action on the golf course. He raised his glass into the air to show everyone, yes, it had caught Schenk’s shot.

While we’re doubtful Schenk got any extra points for knocking his shot into somebody’s cup, maybe it could count as a separate point for an impromptu round of PGA-sanctioned mini golf?

Heck, that sounds like fun to us. Even the most shanked shots in the game could turn into something rewarding.

8 times PGA Tour golfers and others ripped LIV Golf that now make the merger so awkward

This could make things awkward.

Since LIV Golf became a thing, players on the PGA Tour — along with an abundance of golf fans — had plenty to say about the Saudi Arabia-backed tour making an attempt to compete with the premier one.

And as of Tuesday — when the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf League, along with DP World Tour, announced a merger agreement — they have a lot more to say. Especially when some PGA players were not only stunned by the news but also learned about the merger on Twitter like pretty much everyone else.

The merger news shocked the golf world, leaving fans with plenty of questions about how all this will work. While we don’t have all those answers yet, we do know that this merger could make things a bit awkward with so many in the sports world criticizing LIV Golf in the past.

So while we wait to see how this works out, here’s a look back at eight times PGA golfers ripped LIV Golf in the last year.

WATCH: Scottie Scheffler nails hole-in-one at Colonial

Scheffler’s shot on eight sparked a huge crowd eruption at the Colonial.

Scottie Scheffler jumped back into the mix at the Charles Schwab Challenge on Sunday with a hole-in-one on the par-three eighth hole.

The No. 1 player in the world started six shots back of the lead entering the final round of play. His hole-in-one helped Scheffler get into contention down the stretch.

Scheffler’s moment was especially cool as it took place in North Texas. He grew up attending the tournament and spoke with GolfWeek about what it means to him to play at the Colonial.

“I remember showing up here with my dad and just coming out and watching… So come out here on practice round days and watch guys,” per Golfweek. “I typically liked the practice round days more just because you could get closer to guys and I liked just watching.”

Scheffler’s shot on eight sparked a huge crowd eruption for the Dallas native. Here is how social media reacted to Scheffler’s clutch hole out.

Photos: Cold temperatures invade Oak Hill as the field makes its final preparations for 2023 PGA Championship

Baby, it’s cold outside.

Welcome to the Northeast, folks.

This time of year, Floridians are enjoying 85-degree weather and nothing but sunshine. Well, May is a different story for those in Northern climes.

Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, is hosting this week’s PGA Championship and the field is getting a taste of how quickly the weather can heel-turn.

Tuesday was a beautiful day, with mid-day temps around 70 degrees. Wednesday, however, is a different story. With the high failing to reach 60, players who arrived at Oak Hill for an early practice session were geared up to survive sub-40-degree weather. The ReelFeel to start the day was hovering at the freezing point.

Here are the best photos from a chilly morning at the 2023 PGA Championship in Upstate New York.

The Masters 2023: Is Tiger Woods playing this year?

The latest on Woods’ quest for a sixth green jacket

Every time a major golf tournament rolls around, the No. 1 question from fans is always the same:

Will Tiger Woods be in the field?

Never is that more true than when the calendar flips to April and the doors of Augusta National are opened wide to welcome the world’s best players to the Masters.

Masters Leaderboard: Live leaderboard, Schedule, Tee times

Play begins on Thursday, April 6 this year.

The last the public heard from Woods was during The Genesis Invitational — a tournament he hosts and played in this season — and after four rounds he sure sounded like someone who was ready to chase a sixth green jacket and tie the record held by Jack Nicklaus:

“Like I told you guys last year, I’m not going to play any more than probably the majors and maybe a couple more. That’s it, that’s all my body will allow me to do. My back the way it is, all the surgeries I had on my back, my leg the way it is, I just can’t. That’s just going to be my future.

“So my intent last year was to play in all four majors, I got three of the four. Hopefully this year I can get all four and maybe sprinkle in a few here and there. But that’s it for the rest of my career. I know that and I understand that. That’s just my reality.”

[pickup_prop id=”31989″]

Woods is still trying to manage the injuries he suffered in a 2021 car accident, which has considerably impacted his ability to play a more full schedule. Instead he’s focusing on the biggest tournaments and, when possible, some elevated events.

The 47-year-old made the cut at the 2022 Masters, stringing together rounds of 71-74-78-78 to finish 13-over-par and in 47th place.
