"It's great to join my brother Matt as a winner. It can be hard sometimes when you're constantly chasing someone's accolades but luckily it's my brother, so it's not horrific. It's extremely nice to join him in the winners' ranks and hopefully I can continue to push on."

The most popular sport in Bayern Munich is not football, it is golf. Former and current players alike, including the likes of Thomas Müller, Mats Hummels, Harry Kane, Serge Gnabry, Konrad Laimer, Bastian Schweinsteiger, and so on - they all have one thing in common and that is not that they played football for Bayern, but the fact that they all play golf.

I recently spent two nights at the Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón in Florida. It was my first time staying in a Ritz-Carlton hotel, and a few things surprised me about the chain. I wasn't expecting to have access to two locations. I was also surprised by some of the amenities. I didn't anticipate developing an appreciation for golf. I didn't think I'd find myself in a lazy river. And I definitely didn't expect to have access to two resorts.

One afternoon a few years back, we found ourselves, via a mutual acquaintance, in a friendly fourball with Keith Andrews in Portmarnock (no, not the real one).

Tommy Fleetwood held off Japan's Keita Nakajima to secure a two-shot victory in the DP World India Championship and celebrated an eighth DP Tour win with son Frankie on the 18th green. Fleetwood, who had ended his long wait for a first PGA Tour title at the Tour Championship to claim the FedEx Cup in August, produced a superb seven-under final round of 65 to finish at 22-under in Delhi.

President Donald Trump was able to chuckle about needing a lot of security after nearly being assassinated multiple times during a round of golf with his granddaughter, Kai Trump, that she posted to her YouTube channel on Saturday. Kai Trump, as the president drove the golf cart they were using between holes, pointed out there were plenty of Secret Service members off-camera.

After his drive found the left rough on the par-4 eighth hole, Rahm saw his lie and started complaining: "What a day, what a day," he said, followed by an expletive. The marshal who marked his ball said "It's OK," and Rahm immediately looked at him and said: "Don't tell me it's OK, please. Thank you." The marshal apologized as he walked away, while Rahm continued complaining: "It's not OK."

Chase told police he and his friends were golfing, and that he had hit a ball from the tee box while a group of other golfers were still on the hole's green. "I didn't realize there were people on the green. I hit the ball. They all kind of came up at me and ... I just ended up arguing with them," Chase can be heard telling an officer in a body-worn camera video.

As part of her announcement last week, Kai attached 10 photos of her posing in different variations of the sweater throughout the grounds of the White House. In two of the photos, she can be seen holding a golf club, in a subtle nod to her other primary focus in life. With the photo shoot, however, she has been able to combine her passion for golf with her role as an influencer.

"Golf was how I bonded with my stepdad after I lost my biological father when I was young," Carson wrote on Instagram. "It was where we had uninterrupted quality time to talk, share & learn about each other. It was the backdrop where he taught me about life." One of his most cherished memories with his stepdad was a weekend golf trip to California. "I never forgot it."

HATFIELD, Pennsylvania -- 100-year-old Pearl Atwood has been steadily swinging her golf club for the past half-century. It started with the encouragement of her husband. Upon his retirement, Atwood decided to learn how to play alongside him. Together, they enjoyed many outings on the green.
