In other news, Tiger Woods is set to return to the golf course, participating in the PNC Championship for the fifth straight year alongside his son Charlie. This event, scheduled from December 20-22, is highly anticipated as it marks another opportunity for Tiger to be seen in action, despite ongoing concerns about his durability and competitiveness in his late 40s[2].
On the equipment front, the best value golf irons for mid-handicap players in 2024 have been identified. The PXG 0211 XCOR2, TaylorMade Qi, and Callaway Paradym Ai-Smoke irons have emerged as top performers in terms of distance and ball speed. The PXG 0211 XCOR2, in particular, stands out for its cost-effectiveness and strong performance, despite being in its fourth year of circulation. It tied for first in carry distance and ranked second in ball speed, making it a fantastic choice for golfers looking for value without compromising on performance[1].
The LPGA Tour also saw a notable achievement with the JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro being named the 2024 LPGA Tournament of the Year. This event, which has significantly increased its purse and prominence over the years, will move to El Caballero Country Club in 2025 as Wilshire Country Club undergoes renovations[5].
