TaylorMade’s TP5 Collector’s Edition is a premium ‘mystery box’ of 12 TP5 balls featuring undisclosed gold-accented, collectible designs. The box is meant more for collectors than performance-focused golfers, offering surprise graphics inspired by past TaylorMade visual themes.

Kai Trump, an 18-year-old amateur, missed the cut at The Annika after shooting 83–75, but the story focused less on her score and more on the intense spotlight surrounding her sponsor’s exemption, the pressure of her high-profile debut, and the event’s acknowledgment that her invitation was driven largely by media attention.

In a recent YouTube video, ‘Good Good Golf’ announces that they will be moving forward with a long-anticipated project: a Good Good Girls channel. This will feature professional women’s golf champions, with new projects like a girls vs. boys golf match.

A 17-year-old in Florida caused an estimated $160,000 in damage after driving a truck in circles across a green at The Club at Venetian Bay, later telling police he did it out of boredom. He faces a felony criminal mischief charge, and the course plans to fully resod the damaged area in the spring.

After missing the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open, Wyndham Clark was linked to damage done to historic lockers at Oakmont, leading the club to ban him until he pays for repairs, donates to charity, and attends counseling. Clark apologized publicly, calling it a mistake he deeply regrets.

Monica Fee will become the LPGA’s Chief Sales & Partnerships Officer in January 2026, overseeing global sponsorships and commercial strategy. She previously led global partnerships for LIV Golf and brings nearly 20 years of sports business experience, reporting directly to LPGA Commissioner Craig Kessler.

DP World and the DP World Tour have extended their title-sponsorship deal through 2035, making it the tour’s longest partnership. DP World will continue as Title and Official Logistics Partner, sponsor additional events, back the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, and support grassroots golf initiatives worldwide.

The DP World Tour will introduce the Rory McIlroy Award in 2026 to honor the Tour member with the best performance across the four majors each season, celebrating McIlroy’s career Grand Slam achievement. He is not eligible to win the award himself.

The PGA Tour will debut the Biltmore Championship in Asheville, NC, from September 17–20, 2026, as part of the FedEx Cup Fall schedule. Sponsored by Biltmore Estate and Explore Asheville, it marks the Tour’s first return to the area in over 80 years.
