The PGA Tour is venturing into uncharted territory this week. Debuting as the host course for an event with a 121-year legacy—the second-oldest non-major on the PGA Tour, the recently transformed TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley will take on 156 golfers at the RBC Canadian Open.

Ian Andrew, the architect, didn't just renovate the course last year; he reimagined the entire hypothesis. His par-70 creation now features 48 strategically-positioned bunkers and five par-4s exceeding 500 yards.

The 585-yard finale reveals Andrew's master thesis—a closely mown runoff area feeds directly into water, forcing players to choose between safety and salvation.

21 Canadians will be stepping onto the course carrying home-win dreams. So far, Nick Taylor has been the Canadian to win it. His victory was so iconic, in fact, his fellow countryman, Adam Hadwin, was tackled to the ground by security, and still didn’t stop celebrating. Watch the hilarious moment here.

Rory McIlroy is emerging from mysterious silence this week, too. The Ulsterman has a brilliant track record at the event with four starts, four top-10s. But his Scottish pal, Robert MacIntyre, edged him out last time around, and he’ll be looking to do the same this year, too.

But if last year’s PGA Tour Americas' Fortinet Cup Championship (which was played at the same course) proves anything, it’s that none of them will have it easy. The winning score was just 3-under. The 13th hole averaged a whopping +0.618 with only 15 birdies.

It all points to some ‘major-level’ difficulty!

‘Two roads diverged in a yellow wood…’

Robert Frost’s words from a century ago couldn’t be more apt for any young golfer today. Turning 21 as an aspiring golf pro in today’s world comes with a choice. For Luke Clanton, though, his path was chosen long ago. The Florida State phenom had been grinding since elementary school at a beat-up Miami muni for one goal: The PGA Tour.

‘Today my dream becomes a reality,’ he said proudly earlier this week before getting the entire crowd teary-eyed with this heart-melting thank you homage to those who had helped him along the way. The 21-year-old will make his pro debut at the RBC Canadian Open today.

Clanton earned his card through the PGA TOUR University Accelerated Program with a made cut at the Cognizant Classic earlier this year. Of course, he would have earned it two weeks earlier, had it not been for the heartbreak he suffered at the WM Phoenix Open. His 20-foot putt for eagle stopped one millimeter short (forcing him to miss the cutline by one), like you’ll see below:

The other road…

… the one Clanton didn’t take was trodden on anyway by another 21-year-old this week. Jose Ballester, the reigning U.S. Amateur champion, rejected his Korn Ferry Tour Card on Monday. 2 days later, with a fire-red jersey on, he revealed why.

LIV Golf.

Ballester joined Fireballs GC to play with (and under) the one-time major-winning captain. Sergio Garcia has known the kid ‘since he could pick up a club’, so it’s easy to see how he was swayed.

For Luke Clanton, like we said earlier, that road wasn’t even an option. Even last December, when the youngster played with Ian Poulter for some fun YouTube content, he refused to be associated with anything LIV Golf. Watch this footage of him physically recoiling from a Majestics shirt as though it were his kryptonite.

So there you go. Two paths taken with one goal in mind. Where they lead when it comes to success, only time will tell!

Our magical U.S. Open shots series would be incomplete without Tom Watson's 1982 heroics. At Pebble Beach's treacherous 17th, his ball lay buried in thick rough. He needed to get it close to save par. But that’s not Tom Watson’s style. ‘Hell, I'm going to sink it,’ he said, and played this gorgeous chip. The result? His first (and only) U.S. Open Trophy, and 6th major.

It’s not an easy shot to copy (we tried… a lot), but these steps will help you get there:

Master these moves, and you may just claim a win thanks to chip-ins like Tom Watson. And if you’re looking to kick things up a notch, this will help:

Three wins in 4 starts. An Oakmont favorite. Scottie Scheffler is on fire. So, of course, we had to dig into his secret. As it turns out, while others obsess over swing changes, Scottie obsesses over lunges.

His fitness routine reveals what separates him from the rest. Every exercise mimics golf movements. Lunges with rotation. Reverse lunges with resistance bands. Modified pigeon stretches that'll make your hips scream (in a good way… eventually). Watch his signature exercises here to understand them better.

So, how do they help? Basically, one body part stabilizes while another explodes into action—exactly like your golf swing. So get started with 10-15 reps for each exercise, and enjoy your buddies wondering why you're suddenly crushing drives past that 200-yard marker!
