“l've said to a couple guys, players, and my caddie this week, I hope we come to this area more. These golf courses are awesome. II'd love to go back to Philly Cricket Club. A crazy amount of fans have come out, and it's been a great energy."
Justin Thomas after playing the PGA championship at Aronimink in Delaware County. He would like to see more golf events in the Philly area.
Tommy Fleetwood about his set up for the Masters this week and he gave a really insightful answer about what clubs he needs at Augusta National:
“It's a great 9-wood golf course. I think it's always been -- I can't remember when I first put like a 9-wood in or a high lofted club, but it's a perfect like 9-wood golf course. I've had that in the bag for a few years.
“No, the bag setup stayed the same really. So the way that I do set it up actually works very well for Augusta, so that's great.
“Yeah, it's funny really because I know Augusta is probably associated with being fairly forgiving off the tee in a way, so you think you can whale around driver a little bit. But I don't necessarily think that's always the play for me. I think there's holes that set up really well where I can draw it with the mini driver if I'm feeling less comfortable with the driver and things like that.
“The biggest thing is the 9-wood for me. If I can put myself in position on the par-5s or the 4th long par-3, like it -- for me, I can't really hit that high 4-iron, so 9-wood helps me a lot.”
I don’t think he’s ever heard Augusta National described as a great 9-wood course before!

A reminder casual golfers should be using 7-Woods and 9-Woods.
If Tommy Fleetwood, one of the best ball strikers on earth, thinks the forgiveness of a 9-Wood is worth it…maybe we should ditch our 5 or 6 irons.
My 7 wood is gold. Time to try the 9.
I’ve been fortunate enough to hit some pretty outlandish bets in my lifetime, but I’d have to say… this might be my single favorite read of all time 🚀

🌀Quantum irons aren't hiding anything 🌀
Callaway’s new Quantum line (Max, Max OS, Max Fast) of game-improvement irons has everything golfers are looking for but without the frills of a design built for better players.
The tech built into the clubs — plus a new cavity-back look — offers a friendly invitation to their target player. The cavity back gets away from the hollow-bodied look of the Elyte and Apex Ai lines.
Why looks matter
Callaway irons in the past have been known for their large cavities that are more inviting to higher-handicappers and beginners. There’s a reason when I think of the game-improvement iron categories, I still think of Callaway irons like the X-18 or the Diablo or Big Bertha from the 2000s.
Quantum takes that same cavity-back look and modernizes it to help the modern high-handicapper.
360˚ Undercut
The core technology in the Quantum Max iron lineup is a new 360˚ Undercut construction. Typically, game-improvement irons are one-piece for the face and hosel with the back piece welded on. The new 360˚ Undercut on the Quantum Max irons pushes that weld line farther back, allowing for greater sole flex and faster speeds.
Usable speed
Callaway found that the player using game-improvement and super game-improvement irons is only hitting the center of the face about 20 percent of the time.
That’s where the iron construction comes in to protect against ball speed lost low on the face.
Additionally, each iron loft within each model has a unique progressive Tri-Sole design to help offer a more consistent strike and minimize ball speed loss.
My take: Making it easier to get the right iron for your game
Let’s be honest — most game improvement irons are probably not purchased in a fitting bay (although they should be).
Being able to look at a game improvement and identify that it’s right for you is going to be huge for the consumer who just wants to have more fun on the course, and that’s the consumer who’s looking at buying game-improvement irons.
If you’re looking for irons that are going to help you hit it solid and up in the air more often, then Callaway’s game-improvement line is a great choice.
Two years ago, Vic Fangio was ripped by Dolphins players for his old-school, disciplined approach. Many wondered whether his style could still thrive in the modern NFL. The answer has been a resounding yes.
Fangio joined the #Eagles in 2024 and has now led two elite defenses in back-to-back seasons. His players have fully embraced him, even if some had doubts at first. Now, he’s at the center of another Super Bowl run, beginning Sunday against 49ers offensive genius Kyle Shanahan.
“I think a lot of coordinators sometimes try to do too much and put their team in the perfect position every single play,” said Eagles edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, a former Dolphins player who admires Fangio. “But Vic has a lot of regard and respect for us, so he knows he can basically call any defense and let us go out there and handle business.”
“I can’t think of many coordinators like him,” said Brendon Ayanbadejo, a former Ravens linebacker who played under Fangio and still speaks with him regularly. “He’s a bounty hunter for hire. He just brings you instant defense.”

If you missed it in 2025...
Vic Fangio's scheme gets much attention around the NFL.
Inside the locker room, it's Fangio's play-calling and in-game adjustments that earn so much praise.
