In the February 2024 Issue, available digitally now to Golf Digest+ members, we look at winning from just about all angles. The cover star is Rory McIlroy, and the fact that three days ago he won the DP World Tour’s Dubai Desert Classic for the fourth time is merely coincidental. As fans of Arnold Palmer may recognize, we asked Rory to recreate an iconic photograph of The King from decades ago at our shoot in Jupiter, Fla. From the brawny biceps to tousled hair the physical resemblance is strong, but the true connection is spiritual. We’re announcing that McIlroy is the 2024 recipient of The Arnie Award, the highest honor Golf Digest bestows to golfers who give back. The ceremony will take place at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The reasons why McIlroy has been selected are rather distinct from past winners. There were four big winners in Best New Courses, all of which you’ll want to try to get on soon. As for the gold and silver medal winners to which everyone has access, the 21st edition of the Hot List, the most respected equipment ranking in golf, is now live. Our new digital presentation allows you to search and sort the best new clubs with greater efficiency than ever before. Put it all together, and what you get is winning. We hope 2024 is your year. Good luck, |
