My Cup of Tee

Fun Near and Far • Around the corner or around the world, you’ll always find ways to connect with the ever-expanding 8AM family of companies

Tap It In…Just Tap It In

Absolutely Major • Four defining events, three inspiring winners. This season wasn’t a total runaway for two spectacular superstars. But, for sure, it was one for the ages.

Up Close with Dylan Dethier Jon Rahm & Tyrrell Hatton • Their Ryder Cup adventures have been terrifying and screamingly funny. Which version of the LIV teammates will we get at this year’s Cup? Without a doubt, both.

ON THE NUMBERS • There’s data behind every swing. We crunch it so you don’t have to.

Ride of a Lifetime • No golf course in the world has been more shrouded in mystery than Ellerston. Now, the Aussie gem is unveiling its secrets.

A Lofty Query

Tommy Fleetwood • The fan favorite just missed his first PGA win in June. It doesn’t change the fact that he has a swing for the ages.

With “preferred lies” in effect under wet weather rules, a player marked his ball, moved it a club-length and played his shot without removing the marker. Penalty?

Lead with Your Elbow • This simple move gives you the shaft lean you need at impact to fully compress the ball and hit piercing, Tour-quality iron shots

U-S-A! U-S-A! • New Yorkers pride themselves on their style. So will America’s Ryder Cuppers when they bring their swagger—and their "Ralph"—to Long Island’s Bethpage Black.

“Oakmont was more beautiful than I had dreamed it would be. I had to see for myself if the grass was real!”

THE NEW IRON AGE • It’s taken a while, but in today’s iron market form has finally caught up with function—and that’s a great thing

COLD SHOULDER

WEB OF WINS

ALL FIRED UP • IT’S DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE A MORE CHEST-POUNDING, SOMETHING-TOPROVE CHOICE FOR 2025 RYDER CUP CAPTAIN THAN KEEGAN BRADLEY. HE ADMITS IT’S NOT ALWAYS EASY BEING KEEGS. BUT IT HAS ITS PERKS.

Double Duty

2025 Ryder Cup

BACK to BLACK • IT’S EXTRAORDINARILY RARE FOR A MUNI TO LOOM LARGE IN THE IMAGINATION, BUT ITS NAME ALONE—BETHPAGE BLACK—CAN GIVE GOLFERS THE SHIVERS. MONUMENTAL AND MENACING, A.W. TILLINGHAST’S COURSE, DESPITE HAVING HOSTED JUST THREE MAJORS IN ITS 89-YEAR HISTORY, IS MORE THAN BATTLE TESTED. IN FACT, EXPECT IT TO LOOK LIKE A WAR ZONE WHEN THE RYDER CUP COMMENCES IN LATE SEPTEMBER.

THE NIGHT SHIFT • A tee time at Bethpage Black is the stuff that dreams are made of—quite literally for the somnambulists who lounge, lurk, yap, nap and snack in the crowded car lot at New York’s golfiest state park, where waiting for your crack at the Ryder Cup host course is worth losing sleep over

Once, there was magic • AN ODE TO WHEN THE RYDER CUP WASN’T A SERIES OF BLOWOUTS

LIFE IN THE FAST LANE • If you want to hit the ball farther, increasing your clubhead speed is the key. The secret? Getting comfortable with simply swinging faster. As our collection of Top 100 Teachers, fitness experts and some of the longest hitters on the planet will attest on these pages, anyone can do it. Time to “go yard.”

Blake Griffin • THE SIX-TIME ALL STAR WAS A DOUBLE-DOUBLE MACHINE DURING HIS NBA CAREER. IT’S A SCORE HE AVOIDS NOW THAT HE SPENDS MORE TIME ON THE COURSE.
