So now does Rory play Grant Horvat? Is that how this works?

When you wake up and realize there’s an extra hour to play golf 🙌

Unfortunately the golf world lost part of our family today, beloved golf writer Steve DiMeglio. I was always very close to Steve and we texted and talked about how he needed to keep fighting to get better so we could see each other in the Bahamas last month. And we did. I am so grateful for that. This a very sad day for all of golf. We have truly lost a friend.

“Scottie 24” is finally here.

It’s our hour-long documentary on Scheffler’s incredible season, including exclusive behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive interviews with Scottie and those closest to him.

I’m excited about this for a lot of reasons. First, and foremost, I think it’s something golf fans will enjoy. It’s the kind of thing that I’d want to watch, even if I wasn’t involved. It’s the No. 1 player in the world, and those around him, pulling back the curtain on his historic season.

There are new stories and anecdotes that add detail and context to what we saw. There’s the swing fix he made after the first round of the Masters (after Scottie told his swing coach, “I can’t go three more days in this tournament swinging like this.”).

There’s the victory where Scottie almost snapped his putter over his knee, then hilariously blew off Ted Scott’s advice to aim for the middle of the green on one of the final holes.

There’s added detail on Scottie’s early-season putting struggles and the effect they had on them, and, yes, new details around that day in Louisville. (“Making friends with a lawyer in Kentucky wasn’t on my bingo card to start the year,” Scottie says.)

It truly is a testament to Scottie. Not only was he great in our interview, but how many world No. 1s would allow the people around him to speak so openly for something like this?

When one of the interview subjects asked Scottie what he could share during our interview, Scottie simply said, “I trust you.”

@jtedscott gave priceless inside-the-ropes accounts. Randy Smith is like talking golf with Johnny Cash, a great narrator with a strong drawl. Brad Payne takes us inside Scottie’s head, and heart.

I think, not surprisingly, Scottie’s strong mind is a big part of the show. But it also shows that even Scottie is not immune from struggles. Brad recounts sitting down with Scottie in Dallas to discuss his putting, and Scottie admits that the pressure and attention are getting to him.

Then, as the season winds down, there’s the pressure that Scottie feels to end it on a winning note. He tells Brad, “I feel like I have to do this.” Spoiler: he does.

We see the importance of encouragement. Scottie is surrounded by encouragers.

When Ted and Scottie are debating whether to go for Augusta’s 13th green, Ted tells him, “You’re the best iron player in the world. Why wouldn’t we.” After the shank at East Lake shrinks Scottie’s lead to two, Ted says, “I would take you if you were two shots down. That’s how good you are.” That scene at East Lake, as Scottie admits a bit of panic is starting to set in, is one of my favorite in the show.

We are dependent beings. We like to pretend that’s not the case. I was reminded of that while working on this project. It doesn’t succeed without Scottie’s participation, his openness and his willingness to let those around him speak openly. The amount of people it took to bring this thing home was another reminder.

This project started with a text message after Scottie won the Olympic gold. That win sealed it. We were seeing a season that may never be recreated. But this never happens if Michael Riceman doesn’t green light it. And I still can’t believe he entrusted me to produce it, when I hadn’t previously been involved in a video longer than five minutes.

Anne Detlefsen and Will Gray provided invaluable encouragement. Our field logistics team of Sam Davis and Jeff Garrison ensure there are cameras everywhere and always rolling, which is why there’s so much good behind the scenes content. Skyler Morton was an amazing director, especially working with someone as inexperienced as me. And Mark Linabury was an amazing editor, working magic in a matter of seconds. Allie LeClair from our Communications team was an invaluable liaison with Scottie’s team. And, of course, my beautiful wife deserves all the credit for her support and taking care of our three children while I was immersed in this project.

The worlds of golf and journalism lost a great friend today in Jeff Babineau. Thanks to the countless relationship he had with our players, “Babs” was a terrific storyteller and reporter. His friendly demeanor will be sorely missed and our media centers will feel a bit emptier without his presence. Our thoughts and prayers to his wife Jane and the entire Babineau family.

My advice for young professionals?

Move to DC. Live in the group row home. Build the work wardrobe. Find the free happy hours. Say yes. Walk around mall at night. Take the metro. Chill in Logan Circle. Be a menace in AdMo/U Street.

Move to DC in your early career. No regrets.

The thing about hanging on by a thread is that it’s always just that close to snapping. I should’ve spent time building that thread up, but instead I assumed everything would work itself out. Until the day came that it didn’t.....

No more silence.

Ben Silverman needed to hole-out from 109 yards to make the cut.

He decided to mark his ball when play was suspended Friday night.

This led to a unique range session full of 56-degree wedges before his attempt.
