Tiger Woods Gets Dragged Into Lefty's Retirement Plans

The most premium Golf Newsletter, containing golf’s hottest takes, exclusive interviews, and never-before-heard historical moments, handpicked for you twice a week! - by EssentiallySports

👋 Hey Golf fans,

Last week, we spoke about Tiger Woods’s impact on the Wyndham Championship. While the 15-time major champion is not on the Greensboro field, Woods was once again in the limelight thanks to Phil Mickelson. Lefty has once again hinted at retirement. Although he didn’t talk about his arch-rival, netizens dragged the 48-year-old into the conversation, nonetheless.

While we deep dive into that, another legend, Jack Nicklaus, is also on our radar. The Nicklaus-signed golf shoes are finally available in the market. Before we reveal why that is so special, take a trip with us to the 1973 Wyndham Championship, when Juan ‘Chi Chi’ Rodriguez earned his penultimate victory. The Puerto Rican icon, adored for his broad smile and large heart, passed away on August 8. 

Finally, it’s Charley Hull, who we couldn’t ignore. The LPGA icon had a turbulent few days at the Olympics. Was the smoking ban she wasn’t too pleased with to blame for this? Or something else entirely? Kick back and relax and we dive into all of this and more.

So, let’s get started…

In today’s newsletter, we’ll uncover the hottest stories from the golf universe:
