El Cardonal at Diamonte Dunes The PGA Tour heads to Cabo this week for a resort-style contest at El Cardonal at Diamonte Dunes. While this event has previously been hosted at the Mayakoba resort, I would not really spend any time looking at prior course history there, as El Cardonal plays in stark architectural contrast to the Greg Norman design. Mayakoba was one of the tightest, most accuracy-over-distance-biased golf courses on the PGA Tour, while El Cardonal is the complet

Vidanta Vallarta Vidanta Vallarta is a typical, tropical Paspalum resort course, with the most defining characteristic from a statistical standpoint being its sheer length and emphasis on power off the tee and long iron play. Torrey Pines with no rough and slower, easier greens! It has been the host venue for the Mexico Open for the last four years and featured a scoring average between -0.8 and -1.5, as the golf course’s prodigious length (and the occasional high wind guests

Port Royal Golf Course The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is a relatively new addition to the Fall swing, debuting in October 2019 and it has been held at Port Royal Golf Course for the past seven years. Originally constructed to be an alternate event opposite the WGC – HSBC Championship, the tournament was elevated in 2021 to a standalone event as the result of successive cancellations of the WGC due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In my opinion, it holds a strong case as the ov

The DPWT heads to South Korea for the Genesis Championship at Woo Jeong Hills. This is the last event of the regular season, where only the top 100 after this week keep their full tour card. It is a smaller field than usual with only 126 players, made up with 90 from the DPWT and an additional 36 from the KPGA Tour. Unfortunately, with the smaller field and the high number of Korean tour players, not everyone trying to keep their card has a spot in the field. But one of those

Delhi Golf Club Course Introduction The DPWT leaves Europe for the India Championship at Delhi Golf Club. Delhi hosted the event for the first time last year but also hosted a number of Indian Opens up until 2016 as well as other events on the Asian and Indian tours. It is a short 6,912 yard par 72 that is a flat, parkland course with dense jungle lining the narrow fairways. The greens are Bermuda and very grainy with thick Bermuda rough within the playing corridors.

Yokohama Country Club was founded in 1960 and over the next six years, Japanese architect Takeo Aiyama built both the East and West Course. The West course hosted the 1978 Japan Open, won by none other than Seve Ballesteros, and the 2018 edition of the same event was held on the same composite course that we will see this week. In 2018, Yuki Inamori won by two strokes over Shaun Norris at 14-under par. For what it’s worth, Yuki is an absolute accuracy merchant. And last year,

Course Introduction With just 3 events left for players to keep their tour card before the playoffs start, the DPWT has their last European event of the season for the Open de España. We are back at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid which has hosted each of the last five years as well as 2019. Club de Campo is a 7,154 yard par 71 with only three par 5's and four par 3's. It is a tree-lined parkland course with narrow fairways, small bentgrass greens and elevation changes (in part

Black Desert Resort, home of the 2026 Bank of Utah Championship. The Bank of Utah Championship (known previously as the Black Desert Championship) is only in its third renewal, and I must say that it has been a welcome addition to the Fall swing. Despite the new sponsor and name change, the event will return to the Black Desert Resort, designed by Tom Weiskopf and Phil Smith in 2022-2023. This was Weiskopf’s final design before he passed away, and the track sits among one of

The iconic Swilcan Bridge at St. Andrews, which along with Carnoustie and Kingsbarns hosts the 2026 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Starting in 2001, The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship is a pro-am event contested over three courses in the same format as the old version of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. There is a three course rotation with the Old course at St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns in Scotland, before a cut with the final round returning to the Old course. The t

After a two-week absence from PGA Tour golf, we are back with the first event of the Fall swing, the debut edition of the Biltmore Championship. The event will be held at the Walnut Cove golf course at the Biltmore resort, designed by Jack Nicklaus in 2005. While I have never been to the Biltmore, I remember it clearly as the place where Duke students would get away with their parents or significant others for a nice weekend in the mountains. It’s certainly a beautiful area o

So we’ve made it to the final event of the season, and this will be the second year that the new look East Lake will not feature starting strokes– thus, the 30th ranked player in the field is starting at zero, just like Scottie Scheffler. While I think that the no starting strokes makes this a better golf tournament, I don’t think that the current playoff format makes the first and second rounds matter close to enough. Now that the FedEx St. Jude’s and BMW Championship featur

Bellerive Country Club Introduction The last time we saw Bellerive was at the PGA Championship in 2018, which was won by Brooks Koepka. The golf course was correctly maligned at the time for being unworthy of hosting a major championship, and I would argue that it’s not even worthy of hosting a FedEx Cup playoff win. I’m curious as to what viewers and discord members will think of the golf course. My expectations are pretty low. There is nothing aesthetically pleasing about t

Course Introduction Coming off the stunning Great Northern last week, we have another course that wowed on it’s first appearance on tour last year in the Trump International Golf Links in Scotland for the Nexo Championship. It is a very modern links course, with pushed up greens that are very undulating and feature severe fall offs. But the fairways leading up to them have been bulldozed flat compared to the natural undulation that is typical of links golf. Miss these fairway

Course Introduction After an extended 6-week summer break between stand-alone DPWT events, we are back with the Danish Golf Championship at Great Northern, which is a relatively new Jack Nicklaus design built in 2017. Great Northern is a 7,314 yard stock par 72 and is an exposed golf course with very few trees. While I couldn’t find anything confirming it, the greens appear to be Bentgrass and they have plenty of short grass surrounding them, including some steep fall offs.

TPC Southwind, the host of the 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship Overview The FedEx Cup playoffs kick off with the FedEx St. Jude Championship, a field of the 70 best players from the 2026 regular season. This event will not feature a cut, and at the end of the week, the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings will advance to the BMW Championship at Bellerive. I’m not the biggest TPC Southwind fan, but that’s not necessarily because TPC Southwind is a bad PGA Tour course – i

Sedgefield Country Club Intro The PGA Tour heads to Greensboro, North Carolina for the final event of the 2026 regular season. The Wyndham Championship has been a staple on the PGA Tour since 1983 when it was founded as the Greater Greensboro Open. It had annually been played in April or May until 2003, when the PGA Tour altered the schedule and moved it to the end of the year. The tournament has been hosted at several courses over the years before a permanent move to the Don

Intro The switch from Royal Portrush to TPC Twin Cities will be a jarring one, I could not think of a wider juxtaposition between everything that professional golf should be and what professional golf unfortunately is. Instead of utilizing ground contours, dunes, and pot bunkers as thought-provoking hazards that induce strategy, TPC Twin Cities is the definition of target golf. It is a golf course built on a sod farm with absolutely zero topographical intrigue, and the archit

Royal Birkdale: Everything You Need to Know Royal Birkdale is part of a trio of Open courses on the Merseyside coast of England with Royal Lytham & St. Annes and Royal Liverpool. The club was founded in 1889, and the original course started as 9 holes and expanded and moved to Birkdale Hills by 1897 (its current location), just south of the city in Southport. The course we see today was designed by George Lowe, who was the pro at Royal Lytham. In 1922, the course was extens
