Majors preview: who actually fits the golf course

Course fit beats current form nearly every time at a major venue with a defined shot shape.

The setup

Tree lines and green entrances tell you the required shape before anyone hits a shot.

What happened

Right-to-left venues have historically punished the fade-only crowd by about a stroke a round. That is a major.

What it means

Pick shapes, not names.

How we cover the Tour

Everything on the Tour desk is written in-house by Marcus Santana and the Homie Golf crew. We watch the golf, track the numbers, and write our own read on the week — no wire copy, no rewrites of somebody else's article.

New Tour coverage posts every morning: setup reports, winning bags, cut-line math, Sunday reaction and the stuff that actually decided the tournament.

No ad units, no pop-ups on Tour pages, no paid placements. Just the read.
