Kevin Van Valkenburg

Oil Filter Professional Golfers, Beware Fried Egg Golf's Kevin Van Valkenburg discusses the cost of artificial intelligence and its impact on the PGA Tour.

The PGA Tour wants to be as ruthless as the people pushing AI as the solution to all our problems. It’s about to treat its serf class as replaceable or expendable. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/pga...

Sources: Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer Bill Belichick, the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach, will not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, sources told ESPN.

A stunner from @dvnjr.bsky.social and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction.

"Sam Darnold. The Carolina Panthers quarterback?"

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Sure man. Cool.

Is Scottie in the midst of an unthinkable run where he's going to rack up a dozen majors over the next decade?

Probably not.

But we also can't close the door on the possibility either.

A short essay for @friedegggolf.bsky.social to kick off Scheffler's season.

We're about to get a foot of snow in Maryland so it may be awhile.

This is pretty accurate. But sometimes that risk is one worth taking.

Defending Bladed Irons After Rory McIlroy moved to cavity back irons, Fried Egg Golf's Kevin Van Valkenburg defends the use of bladed irons, no matter a player's ability.

Golf hardos love to tell you that you shouldn't be playing blades. They fundamentally misunderstand why some of us play the game. Don't let em bully or shame you. #YOTB

great writing from KVV with some insightful points about the value of work and why you should take your chances since the company/university/boss will never love you back.

Vijay Singh Isn't Wrong for Playing PGA Tour's Sony Open Vijay Singh isn't in the wrong for using the PGA Tour's career money exemption to play the Sony Open. It's the rule that deserves scrutiny.

Vijay Singh doesn't owe anyone a graceful goodbye. And no, he is not taking anyone's spot. An ode to the idea that you are welcome reap the rewards of your years of work. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/vij...

Failed in basically all my goals this year except one: Made a vow to reconnect with people by phone I hadn't talked to in years. Led to some super fulfilling, fun catch ups. Might run it back in '26. Less texting, more talking.

Five Thoughts on Tiger Woods' 50th Birthday As Tiger Woods turns 50, Kevin Van Valkenburg expands on the major milestone and what it means going forward.

Tiger Woods turns 50 this week. It made me think about how easy it is to look backwards, and get lost in nostalgia, and how important is is to look forward. @friedegggolf.bsky.social www.thefriedegg.com/articles/fiv...

Very fun moment on this week's Shotgun Start pod when Rory appeared by surprise, then shared with us a gift his caddie Harry had given him for Christmas, a gift no one else could appreciate like he could.
