    PGA star Jason Day wears sweats at Pebble Beach, sparking social media stir, John Fetterman comparisons

    It’s no secret that Jason Day has pushed the boundaries lately with his on-course attire, but many fans think he crossed the line on Sunday.

    Day teed off for the final round at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and his outfit – a full gray sweatsuit – drew a ton of reaction.

    The Australian has a partnership with Malbon Golf, who has tried to de-country-club the golf look.

    Jason Day hits his bunker shot during the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Feb. 2, 2025.

    It got to the point where Augusta National officials asked him to make an outfit change during last year’s Masters.

    At Pebble Beach, Day was donning an outfit that some might just sleep in, prompting a stir.

    “I don’t care how much I get downvoted but he is finding new ways to look like a slob,” wrote one user on X.

    “An insult to the game,” said another.

    Added one more, “Dressing like John Fetterman should not be an option for professional golfers on the tour. Frankly, it should not be an option for any golfers playing at Pebble Beach.”

  • Scottie Scheffler makes miraculous par save on 18th hole at Pebble Beach after errant tee shot

    Scottie Scheffler makes miraculous par save on 18th hole at Pebble Beach after errant tee shot

    Scottie Scheffler found himself in a precarious position after his opening tee shot on the 18th hole in the second round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Friday. But the star golfer managed an epic par save.

    Scheffler pulled his tee shot into the beach but didn’t see it land. He either could have taken a penalty drop 40 yards forward from the end of the tee box, or walk 300 yards or take a chance he could find his ball. 

    “I just (hit) a low pull, I hadn’t been driving it very well all day and this was a hard tee ball today, being mostly off the left. And I thought the way it looked like from the tee box, I was like, ‘Well I guess we should go up there and look,’ because I didn’t see it splash, I didn’t see any rocks, I knew there was sand there. So, I was like ‘Might as well go look,’” Scheffler said.

    Scheffler was lucky enough to find his ball, and then came the next task: hit off the beach back onto the course and get it over the cliff. 

    Scheffler was just hoping to find grass. 

    “I think the unpredictability was the most difficult part. I was really just trying to get it out over the rocks and anywhere up there on grass I would have been pretty happy about, obviously. Saved me a couple of shots there being able to find my ball in the sand,” Scheffler said.

    He was able to find some grass in the fairway that left him about 180 yards out, but even though he was out of the sand, this shot wasn’t any easier. 

    “I mean, that was a really hard shot. I was in between clubs and I had to chip a 6-iron in there from 180 (yards out), with the wind you can obviously see it blowing off the left there, so it was a pretty tough shot, just glad to get that on the green,” Scheffler said.

    He then two-putted from 40 feet to complete the par save. 

    “After the tee ball, I definitely would have taken a par, so there’s no complaints from me there.” 

    The par completed a 2-under 70 round on the day. 

    After the second round, Scheffler was seven-under par, tied for 20th. Sepp Straka led after two rounds at -14.

    This is Scheffler’s first tournament back since suffering a freak hand injury during Christmas dinner.

    Scheffler said he isn’t feeling all the way himself yet after his first two rounds. 

    “(My game) feels good, I’ve limited the mistakes and I feel like I haven’t been swinging it as well as I could be, so I think there maybe just a little bit of rust there, a little bit of timing my swing, but it’s good to be getting back into competitive golf, and nice to be out here at Pebble,” Scheffler said. 

    Scheffler’s injury required minor surgery, but he is now back in action after one of the most dominant seasons in PGA Tour history. 

    Scheffler won seven PGA Tour titles, while winning The Masters for a second time in his career. He also represented the United States at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and won a gold medal after a late surge.

    Scheffler also became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to hold the No. 1 ranking for an entire calendar year.

    The star golfer is 2-under through four holes to begin this third round, leaving him 9-under par as of the time of writing.

    The third round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am continues on Saturday.

  • Rory McIlroy dunks 2nd career hole-in-one at Pebble Beach Pro-Am

    Rory McIlroy dunks 2nd career hole-in-one at Pebble Beach Pro-Am

    Rory McIlroy’s time at the new TGL has paid off early.

    Days after competing in his and Tiger Woods’ joint simulator league in Jupiter, Fla., McIlroy drilled an ace at Spyglass Golf Course at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Thursday.

    On the par-three 15th, McIlroy took a wedge from 119 yards out and hit a dart right at the hole.

    And that’s not hyperbole – McIlroy dunked his golf ball right into the hole without a bounce.

    It was the second hole-in-one the four-time major champion has hit on tour. His first came in 2023 at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.

    McIlroy is ranked third in the world, behind Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele.

    It’s McIlroy’s first event of the new PGA season. He started his first round on the 10th hole, so the ace got him to three-under through six on the day.

    It’s a nice start to the season for McIlroy, who is hoping for better fortunes this year than last. McIlroy owned the U.S. Open lead late last year with a chance to snap his decade-long major drought. However, after he missed six feet worth of two putts on the final three holes, Bryson DeChambeau stole the trophy from underneath him.

    That came just months after Cameron Smith squeaked out a win at the Open Championship the year prior over McIlroy in the final round.

    WATCH | Meghan Markle shares beach video in Instagram post welcoming New Year 2025

    Meghan Markle kicked off 2025 by launching her first Instagram account since 2020. On January 1, she posted a video of herself on the beach using the handle @meghan. She was seen dressed in white as she wrote 2025 in the sand. The account has already attracted over 200,000 followers.

    In 2020, both Harry and Meghan stopped using Sussex Royal account after ther quit as senior royals. They created new account in 2019, after parting ways with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Kensington Palace household, which manages its social media presence under the name Kensington Royal. The account was used to to announce the birth and name of their baby son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor and to promote their own work and that of charities

    Meghan had closed her social media accounts ahead of her wedding to Harry in 2018. The former Suits actress, once popular on Instagram, had hinted at a social media comeback.

    In a 2022 interview with New York Magazine’s The Cut, she confided: “Do you want to know a secret? I’m getting back … on Instagram.” But at times she cited harassment and revealed that she is unwilling to to return. In 2023, the couple urged social media platforms to strengthen content-moderation policies and noted that some apps could damage the mental health of young people.

    Harry and Meghan shares are picture of their two children in 2024 Christmas card

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared a rare picture of their two children as part of a series of images for their official Christmas card. Meghan and Harry are shown in the outdoors about to hug Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet as their son and daughter run into their arms. The couple have rarely exposed their children to the limelight and in the image their faces are not shown as Lilibet, three, approaches her father while five-year-old Archie sprints to his mother. It appears the couple, who stepped down as working royals and moved to California in 2020, may be in a park as their three dogs are in the picture.

    Six images are featured with the card, sent by email, which has the message: “On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful New Year.”

    The card is intended for professional use by the couple and their team, with the Sussexes sending a separate card to their close family and friends which will remain private.
