Normal Sport

Here’s a tiny behind the scenes look at our new book, The Weight of Rory.

ATTN: @NormalSport #96MastersRedo ⏪

Today's @normalsport newsletter is presented by @cobragolf, who we're so pumped to partner with for 2026. As always, today's edition is full of plenty of absurd illustrations (see below for baseball sausage races reimagined with Cobra club heads) and tepid-and-possibly-tipping-toward hot takes (also below). Check it here: normalsport.com/newsletter/sho…

Let's try this again. We will be giving away ~$7,500 worth of merch, gear and products from our sponsors -- like @TurtleboxAudio, @cobragolf (👀) and @hbgolfusa -- during the week of the first major of the year. So pumped for it. Only eligibility for those giveaways = be subscribed to the Normal Sport newsletter (link below). To kick things off, I will give away a copy of our new Rory book to three people who comment in the thread below with the first thing they think of when they think of the 2025 tournament.

Writing is only one part of our storytelling in the @normalsport newsletter. @PasonJage interprets the golf world through his own lens and produces some truly amazing illustrations that either enhance my words or tell their own story. I'm proud that we get to showcase that and so glad he's on our team.

Tons of thoughts coming on Brian Rolapp's presser. If you're not subscribed to the @normalsport newsletter, the link is in my bio. Elon is still punishing links so I won't drop it here, but the newsletter is free, and we have a lot of fun with it (and do a lot of giveaways).

Also, shout out to @hbgolfusa as always for making the newsletter possible. @PasonJage reimagined one of the more amusing images out of API last week but if everyone was wearing H&B gear.

I have some PGA Tour schedule takes (and a ridiculous proposition for the first major of the year). normalsport.com/newsletter/my-…

Shane Lowry is 0 for his last 13 when entering the final round in the top three. Some thoughts on that as well as what the Olympics and the Masters have in common in today's newsletter. normalsport.com/newsletter/sal…

This right here is why you need to be an @normalsport “Normal Club” member.

New podcast with @jamierkennedy (not the Tesla CEO) about how we use golf Twitter and why (sometimes) it can even make our experience of golf even better. open.spotify.com/episode/6O5tis…

@KylePorterNS & I:

Rigamarole, Day 29, with a BRAND NEW SPONSOR, @normalsport. They managed to find a sport even less normal than golf, and based on today's performance, may be instantly regretting it:

We wrote and illustrated a book about the 2025 Masters (and whatever it was that happened at Augusta National last year). It's called The Weight of Rory. We hope you love it. normalsport.com/products/the-w…

Audibly laughed at the “Tortoisebox Scottie” illustration!!! Might be on the short list of best @normalsport illustrations. IMO. @KylePorterNS @PasonJage

Collin Morikawa's tears at Pebble were as human and endearing as he's ever been. Also, Scottie has turned into the tortoise (shout out @TurtleboxAudio). New newsletter right here. normalsport.com/newsletter/a-w…

If you enjoy my golf nonsense here on Twitter, you will love the (free) @normalsport newsletter we publish 2x/week. Later this week, we're dropping a book on the 2025 Masters, and I'll give away a copy to five different people who sign up for the newsletter today (link in bio).

New pod with @PGATOURSMartin on what has made Gotterup great, why nobody in the top 20 in the world is under age 25 and (of course) why the Players is a major. open.spotify.com/episode/4ATGP9…
