Welcome back to The Grind, where this week we're serving up a triple helping of golf drama—from a Norwegian heir's stunning PGA Tour breakthrough to a feel-good veteran victory and a fan-favorite moment that had us all doing a double-take. Buckle up, because the fairways were buzzing.
Kristoffer Reitan's Family Fortune Meets a $3.6 Million Payday
If you missed the Truist Championship, you missed a story straight out of a sports movie. Kristoffer Reitan, a player who was ranked outside the top 1,000 in the world just two years ago and only made the field thanks to a last-minute withdrawal by Jake Knapp, walked away with the trophy and a cool $3.6 million. But here's the kicker: that massive check is pocket change compared to his family's fortune. Reitan's grandfather, Odd Reitan, is a Norwegian billionaire worth an estimated $9 billion. And if that wasn't enough, his sister Viktoria is a pop star back home. So, yes, the Reitan family is basically a real-life dynasty. And somewhere, Nick Faldo is smiling at the SQAIRZ shoutout.
Brandt Snedeker: The Comeback Kid
At 45 years old, with a clubhead speed that barely cracks 110 mph, Brandt Snedeker proved that grit beats youth every time. He won the Myrtle Beach Classic for his first PGA Tour title since 2018, and his emotional reaction afterward was pure gold. This wasn't just a win—it was a medical miracle. Snedeker battled through a painful experimental procedure where part of his hip bone was used to rebuild his sternum. Now, he's back in the winner's circle and looks poised to dominate the PGA Tour Champions in a few years. It's a win for the old guard, and we're here for it.
