Come on, Tommy!
There’s rarely been a golfer as easy to root for as Tommy Fleetwood.
The unfailingly affable Brit shed the bridesmaid tag last year (finally!) at the Tour Championship, a breakthrough win that sets the stage for his 2026 season—and an Open Championship in his old backyard.

Trout National
Mike Trout is a Los Angeles Angels lifer and an 11-time all-star. What happens when an athlete of his caliber becomes obsessed with golf? He pretty quickly gets down to single digits and then hires Tiger Woods to design a private course in his Jersey hometown.

Maja Stark Climbed a Mountain
Last summer at Erin Hills, Swedish sensation Maja Stark reached her golf pinnacle—a victory at the U.S. Women’s Open. Problem was, with all her goals accomplished, what would she do next?

Island Time
Lush beauty and fine wine are not the only reasons to visit Madeira.
The golf there is having its moment in the sun.

No More Mr. Nice Guy

IS IT ENOUGH TO BE THE MOST LIKABLE PLAYER ON THE PGA TOUR? AS YEARS PASSED WITHOUT A TOUR VICTORY, TOMMY FLEETWOOD HAD TO WONDER. BUT THEN A MAGNIFICENT THING TOOK PLACE AT EAST LAKE LAST AUGUST. THE WINNER IN OUR EYES... BECAME THE WINNER OF IT ALL. HOW IT HAPPENED? EVEN HE'S NOT SURE.

MIKE TROUT GOES DEEP

The longtime Angels outfielder has always been elite. Power to spare, speed—damn good ingredients for a golfer too. So, when he cut his index to single digits, a golf obsessive was born. The new Tiger-designed Trout National reflects that and an even more driving love for his family and hometown.

One Bright Stark

Reigning U.S. Women's Open champion Maja Stark, all of 26 years old, already has two LPGA Tour wins under her belt and another half dozen in Europe, to say nothing of her standout career at Oklahoma State. Stillwater couldn't be farther from her hometown of Skurup, Sweden, but if there's a 15th club in Maja's bag it's her ability to adapt. That, and an assist from her coach, Top 100 Teacher Joe Hallett, has come in handy in the months since last June's Open triumph. Because there's more to success than just learning how to drink it in. Skoal!

Your Ball Here

• Madeira isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think golf, and why would it? You probably haven't a clue where Madeira is. But the remote island paradise is catching fire as a tourist hot spot. And a new course set to open there later this year, on cliffs breathtakingly high above the Atlantic, might just put it on the map for golfers too.

I DON'T THINK THE HEAVY STUFF'S GONNA COME DOWN FOR QUITE A WHILE.

You've got to hand it to JOSH SIMPSON. A couple of rounds a week would gas the average golfer. This guy? By mid-December, he'd clocked 581 ROUNDS—ON 581 DIFFERENT COURSES—IN A YEAR. Absolutely nothing was going to stop him. And it didn't.

THE ULTIMATE POWER TRAINING MOVE

EVERY GOLFER WANTS MORE SPEED. You'll never attain it if you hang back on your trail side through impact. Or simply slide forward or think only of finishing on your front foot.

Drive it Farther: A Drill for Solid Strikes

HIT UP ON THE BALL with the driver. You've all been told that, but it doesn't work for everybody. It can add too much loft at impact, create too much spin and make your contact a little too low on the clubface—a big-time yardage robber. Try this.
