In today’s PGW Daily, we talk the Ryder Cup at Gillette, Tim Tebow, Danny Willett, and Inbee Park. We will also show you why we are jealous of the Euro Tour players this week.
Pic of the Day
The members U.S. Ryder Cup team were named honorary Patriots for a day. Rumor has it that Roger Goodell has already fined Jim Furyk $25,000 for his uniform violation.

Graeme McDowell may not have made the cut for the European Ryder Cup team, but it looks like the father of a new baby boy is having a great week anyway.

Humble Story of the Day
Shane Lowry made a questionable decision playing in Europe last week rather than New York, which knocked him out of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Lowry has accepted his fate, and is extra motivated to make the next European Ryder Cup team.

LPGA Update
Olympic Gold Medalist Inbee Park has withdrawn from next week’s Evian Championship, the last major of the year. She cites the thumb injury that has cost her most of this season. Impressively, she was able to hold it together in Rio.

This is the SrixonZ765, one of the most attractive drivers we have ever seen. Hit the ball better AND look more stylish while doing so!

Putting in the Work
Ben Crane’s 2016 season might be over, but it is never too early to start practicing for next season. On a side note, the word “putting” looks odd in this context (it is not a pun), although I’m pretty sure it is correct.
