With Davis Love III’s granddaughter’s approval, RSM Classic merch tent has toasty offerings

When Davis Love III says the RSM Classic is a family affair, he isn’t just providing lip service.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — When Davis Love III says the RSM Classic is a family affair, he isn’t just providing lip service.

As part of the pre-tournament press conferences, Love brought his granddaughter Eloise to the podium, and she explained how a hat she picked up at the tournament’s merchandise shop last year was so popular that she was offered money for it.

“Somebody asked me if they could buy it from me and I said yes, because why not?” she said. “I don’t know who it was, I kind of forgot, but somebody did and my mom got really mad at me.”

Davis Love elaborated.

“She kept getting asked and we said, well, why don’t you just sell it right off your head to the highest bidder? She came running in the next day, ‘$106!'”

Hats are some of the more popular items at the Sea Island Golf Club merch tent, some for fashion’s sake and some for practicality. Chilly temps on Thursday morning made knit hats something of a priority.

Also among the offerings are some baseball caps donning the number 15, which is how many years the tournament has been played.

And it’s possible you’ll see Eloise working in the stand if you drop by on the weekend.

“It’s good. We’re having a lot of sales. It’s very fun to work there,” she said.

Here’s a look at the merch tent’s offerings:

Photos: The new Broomsedge Golf Club in South Carolina open for preview play

Check out the photos of one of the most interesting new courses of the year.

The mostly private Broomsedge Golf Club in Rembert, South Carolina, has opened for preview play, giving its members a first taste of the course designed by Kyle Franz and Mike Koprowski.

Broomsedge sits about 30 miles east of Columbia and was built atop sandy soil that features surprising elevation changes for the region.

“Members are going to love the intimate routing and optionality among the holes,” said Franz, whose design credits include the new Karoo course at Cabot Citrus Farms in Florida as well as restorations to Mid Pines, Pine Needles and Southern Pines in North Carolina and the Country Club of Charleston in South Carolina.

“No hole even remotely resembles another, which speaks to how much topographical diversity existed within a relatively small footprint,” Franz said in a media release announcing the start of preview play at Broomsedge. “It was always a freakishly good site for golf, and I think the routing and hole concepts maximized every bit of that inherent advantage.”

Perhaps best of all, Broomsedge will allow limited outside play for non-members. Such practice is common at many great clubs in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and Broomsedge’s operators plan to adopt such a “U.K. model” – they have included a form for prospective guests on the club’s website. The amount of outside play to be allowed eventually is still being determined, but it likely won’t include more than a couple foursomes a day.

Check out a selection of photos of Broomsedge below.

It certainly wasn’t drawn up this way, but no one can argue with the end result.

The Oregon Ducks football team strolled into Camp Randall Stadium and quickly found themselves in a dogfight with the Wisconsin Badgers. The game was tight throughout, but the Ducks made just enough plays to escape with a 16-13 victory, keeping their perfect season alive.

They’re now 11-0 on the year and are looking forward to a much-needed bye week after playing eight straight games without a break. Oregon doesn’t play until Nov. 30 when Washington comes calling to Autzen Stadium for the regular season finale.

Oregon can also heal up a bit before the playoffs as well. Tez Johnson, Jordan Burch and Marcus Harper II were all out for this Wisconsin matchup. No telling what the extra week of rest will do as there is no guarantee those injuries will heal up in time for Washington, but the bye week can only help those chances.

Here are the best photos from Oregon’s close victory at Wisconsin.

Take in the views from Bermuda.

The PGA Tour visited the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

It was the penultimate event of the PGA Tour season, with next week’s RSM Classic being the final chance for players to earn their cards for the 2025 season by staying in the top 125 of the FedEx Cup standings.

Camilo Villegas is the defending champion in Bermuda but the 2024 crown went to Rafael Campos, who was on the verge of losing his tour card. Campos, 36, is the second Puerto Rican to win on the PGA Tour, joining Chi Chi Rodriguez. Campos earned $1.242 million for the win.

In photos: Auburn wins thriller over No. 4 Houston

Relive some of the key moments from Auburn’s 74-69 win over Houston on Saturday.

The Auburn Tigers improved to a perfect 2-0 on the young season on Saturday Night, taking down the No. 4 ranked Houston Cougars 74-69 in the Toyota Center.

In a game that featured two of the best defenses in college basketball, it was no surprise the first 30 or so minutes were a grueling slug fest on Saturday. Beyond. Houston’s tenacious defense caused Auburn’s offense an adundance of problems throughout the night, but massive and timely shots from Johni Broome (20 points) and freshman Tahaad Pettiford (21 points) were enough to help the Tigers take a late lead, eventually turning into a victory.

Pettiford specifically was phenomenal throughout the evening. The Jersey City, NJ native made 7 of his 12 shot attempts, including 5 3-point field goals. Along with Pettiford, the aforementioned Johni Broome was his dominant self with a 20-point, 9-rebound, 5-block performance, while Chaney Johnson provided an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double in 31 minutes off the bench.

The win proved the Tigers can play with the best teams in the nation, and provides plenty of momentum for a team set to compete in the Maui Invitational at the end of November. For now, Auburn will need to prepare for a Wednesday night showdown with a formidable foe from the MAC in Kent State. Ahead of Auburn’s next game, relive some of the key moments from Auburn’s 73-69 win over Houston on Saturday.

Oregon vs. Michigan: Top photos from Ducks’ dominant win in The Big House

Some of the top photos from the Oregon Ducks 38-17 win over the Michigan Wolverines in Week 10.

It was said this would be the Oregon Ducks toughest road test of the season. A trip to The Big House in Michigan can be a house of horrors for some teams.

Oregon turned it into a fun house as the Ducks cruised past the defending champions 38-17 in front of over 110,000 fans, the largest crowd Oregon has ever played in front of.

As usual, the Ducks blasted the opponent in the first half and then cruised to an easy victory in the second half. It was 28-10 at halftime in Ann Arbor and Oregon had the game completely under control.

Even after the Wolverines scored on their first possession of the third quarter, the Ducks didn’t panic. They just buckled down on defense and held Michigan off the scoreboard for the rest of the game.

Here are the best pictures from Oregon’s win at Michigan where the Ducks moved to 9-0 overall and control their own destiny towards the Big Ten title game in Indianapolis.

Photos: Golf legend Gary Player through the years

View photos of Gary Player throughout his Hall of Fame career, including nine major victories.

Gary Player is a golf giant.

A nine-time major champion, Player earned the nickname “The Black Knight” thanks to his dashing looks and outfit choices on the course.

Born on Nov. 1, 1935, and with more than 150 worldwide career wins to his name, Player has been much more than just a champion golfer. He has dedicated his life to growing the game throughout his native South Africa and the world.

Player became just the fourth golfer to earn a career grand slam with his win at the 1965 U.S. Open at Bellerive. From there, he would go on to five more majors. As a senior, Player would tack on nine more major championships.

Following his playing career, Player continued his work as a global ambassador for the game. Sharing stories, swing tips and even showing off his fitness prowess, Player has been an endearing figure within the game throughout eight decades.

From helping underprivileged children across the globe to having a hand in designing over 400 golf courses, Player has made an impact well past his wins on Tour.

College golf facilities: Vanderbilt opens renovated $11 million Vanderbilt Golf House

The Legends Club got a big upgrade.

One of the best facilities in college golf recently finished a major upgrade.

The Vanderbilt Golf House recently opened after an $11 million renovation that also included work to other facilities at Vanderbilt Legends Club, where the men’s and women’s teams call home.

The new Vanderbilt Golf House increased the building’s size by nearly two-thirds. It includes a new lobby, hall of fame, team lounge, locker rooms, meeting rooms, fitness area, outdoor terraces and offices.

Additionally, there were renovations to the Cleo and Lewis Conner, Sr. Short Game Practice Facility and driving range tee boxes. The putting greens were enhanced with different types of grasses to better mirror playing conditions on competition courses.

The upgrades came thanks to seed gifts from alums Brandt Snedeker, Toby Wilt and Lew Conner and their families. The Golf House, Training Center and Conner Family Hitting Bays at Vanderbilt Legends Club were dedicated in 2013, and now the Golf House has taken the facility to another level.

Here’s a look at more college golf practice facilities.

Photo Gallery: No. 1 Oregon puts the hammer down on Illinois

Oregon took their home field as the No. 1 team in the country for the first time since 2012 and the Ducks didn’t disappoint. They put a blitzkrieg on the No. 20 Illinois Fighting Illini in the first half to take a 35-3 halftime lead and eventually won 38-9.

The Ducks are now 8-0 overall and 5-0 in Big Ten action as they seemingly head straight towards the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis.

Perhaps by now, we should all see that this team is different from others. There has been no letdown, and they are experts at blocking out the outside noise that could derail them from achieving the ultimate goal of winning Oregon’s first-ever National Championship.

Speaking of noise, Autzen Stadium brought the noise once again and disrupted yet another Big Ten offense that just wasn’t ready for that kind of noise level.

Here are the best pictures of what was a beautiful day in Eugene.

Check out the scenes from Japan.

The PGA Tour is going international.

For the fifth event of the FedEx Cup Fall, the PGA Tour is in Chiba, Japan, for the Zozo Championship. This is the sixth year of the event and the fifth time it has been contested at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club. Collin Morikawa is the defending champion, but he’s far from the only big name in the field.

Joining Morikawa in Asia are Japanese superstar Hideki Matsuyama, Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas, Max Homa, Xander Schauffele and numerous others. It’s by far the strongest field of the fall, even if it’s only 78 players and a no-cut event.
