- Best wishes go out to three time PGA Tour champion Robert Gamez, who had a quadruple bypass surgery earlier this week. The surgery appears to have gone well for the 45 year old Gamez, who hasn't played regularly on Tour since 2008. Here's hoping he makes a full recovery.
- Michelle Wie may have had the greatest victory celebration in the history of golf. After winning the US Open, Wie held a party that included beer chugging, what looks like an impromptu game of quarters, and twerking. "Turn Down For What", indeed. Wie has always been one of my favorite players, but this may have made her jump to the top.
- We may have seen the last of Joe Ogilvie on the PGA Tour. Ogilvie announce that, after the Greenbrier Classic, he will be stepping away from professional golf at the age of 40. Ogilvie only made three cuts on Tour this season, but did qualify for the US Open through sectional qualifying. I hope Ogilvie goes on to have a great career in whatever he chooses to pursue.
- Reigning PGA Champion Jason Dufner announced he "may have five years left", referring to his professional golf game. Dufner seems to be interested in outside interests, and doesn't want to play on the Champion's Tour or be one of those older competitors that always plays but doesn't perform very well. If Dufner is still playing at a high level in five years, I doubt we'll see him just walk away, but he isn't a guy I see playing on Past Champion status.
- Congratulations Team Europe, who routed Team USA in singles competition to win the Palmer Cup.
- Go get yourself one of these sweet new LPGA wallpapers. LPGA has been coming out with wallpapers for years, but these may be the best looking ones yet.
- There are a lot of people up in arms about the news that Tiger Woods did not get drug tested at the Quicken Loans National. I personally think this is a non story, as drug testing in golf is kind of useless to begin with, but it is a little bit interesting that the biggest name on Tour wasn't tested upon his return.
