New York's social media team takes shot at Rory McIlroy after short missed putt during TGL match
No one is safe, not even at TGL.
During Monday's double-header of TGL action, Rory McIlroy's Boston Common was taking on New York Golf Club with a spot in the playoffs on the line. A win for New York secured its spot in the playoffs. Boston needed a win and some help to make the four-team bracket.
Early on, McIlroy had a short par putt to keep the score tied, and he missed it. New York's social media team was quick with its response, posting a video burying McIlroy's blunder on the greens and comparing it to the U.S. Open at Pinehurst last year.
"Didn't know we were playing Pinehurst..." the post on X, formerly known as Twitter, said.
Ouchtown, population McIlroy.
For those who can remember, McIlroy missed two putts inside of 4 feet last year on Nos. 16 and 18, making bogey on both holes to lose by one shot against Bryson DeChambeau in the U.S. Open.

Bryson DeChambeau named chair of President's Council on Sports Fitness & Nutrition
In addition to two-time U.S. Open winner, Bryson DeChambeau has a new title: chair of the President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition. DeChambeau was at the White House Wednesday, standing alongside WWE wrestler Triple H, NFL great Lawrence Taylor and other athletes to help relaunch the Presidential Fitness Test as President Donald Trump signed an executive order to expand the Presidential Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. DeChambeau said he has a new mission beyond trying to break 50 on his YouTube channel. "We believe we can change the fabric of our communities and kids' livelihoods for the future generations that are to come,' DeChambeau said during the announcement. 'I can't thank you enough and looking forward to making massive changes in kids' lives and America's future." 🚨🏋🏻♂️🗣️ #NEW: Bryson DeChambeau has joined the Presidential Council on Sports, Physical Activity, and Nutrition. Speaking from The White House, DeChambeau says they have the opportunity to change kids lives. @BrysonLegion DeChambeau also did an interview on Fox News Channel's Special Report with Bret Baier. Asked why he was taking on this role, he said, 'Well, I think, look, I grew up in an era in my public education side of the coin where we had a fitness test. In reading up about it, since 1956, President Eisenhower established this and it has changed in form numerous times. And, you know, for me, all I want to do is inspire the next generation of young individuals that have passion around sport, health, nutrition, and fitness. And from my standpoint, re-establishing the President's Sports Council as well as the fitness test is a huge initiative for America and its health and fitness all across the board. 'So, we couldn't be more excited. I've got a great team behind me. We're establishing more council members as time is going on. And we're going to be excited to showcase what we have for the American public here soon.' DeChambeau famously re-made his body, consuming more than 6,000 calories per day and gaining around 40 pounds in an effort to chase speed and become the longest driver on the PGA Tour. He earned the nickname 'the Incredible Bulk.' He has since revealed that he regretted that decision due to some negative health impacts and has lost much of the weight. "I want to get kids excited about pushing themselves," DeChambeau said. The full interview with Bret Baier can be viewed here.

Jordan Spieth Has Made A Big Prediction For His 2026 Season
Jordan Spieth Has Made A Big Prediction For His 2026 Season originally appeared on The Spun. In the 2010s, Jordan Spieth ranked among the top golfers in the world, winning back-to-back majors in 2015 and adding a third in 2017. But over the past several years, he's found success hard to come by, so he's setting a new goal for 2026. Speaking to reporters at the Wyndham Championship, Spieth said that he expects he can be back at the top of the golf world next year. He believes that 2026 is "going to be a really good year" for him and believes that he's improving to that end. "Next year's going to be a really good year for me, I can feel it. It's all coming along. I'll be healthy, and just structurally putting, the mechanics are all getting really, really close," Spieth said. "One good offseason should get me nailed down to where I could be as good as I've been. That's my goal." Spieth has a pretty steep hill to climb towards that goal though. He currently ranks No. 51 in the Official World Golf Ranking and has not won an event since 2022. His luck hasn't been particularly good in the majors either. He has missed the cut in three of his last 11 major appearances and has not cracked the top 10 in any. Spieth only finished in the top 20 in one of them - this year's Masters. The 2025 golf major season saw Rory McIlroy complete the rare career Grand Slam by winning the Masters. With a Masters, Open Championship and U.S. Open under his belt, Spieth needs to win a PGA Championship to join McIlroy, Tiger, Jack and all of those other legends. It's just going to be hard to take Spieth seriously as a real contender until he finally starts winning events again. In the eight years since he won the 2017 Open Championship he has won a grand total of two events and none since the 2022 RBC Spieth Has Made A Big Prediction For His 2026 Season first appeared on The Spun on Jul 31, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
