Rory completed the career grand slam. Took him 17 years to get the first Green Jacket, then successfully went back to back - joining only Jack and Tiger with the repertoire of a Grand Slam winner and back to back Masters champ.

The RBC Heritage teed off Thursday at Harbour Town on Hilton Head. Scottie is the +390 favorite. Schauffele and Fitzpatrick at +1500. Justin Thomas defending. $20 million purse. Loaded Signature Event field.

Russell Henley at +1600 is the value play this week. T3 at Augusta, and the course suits his game perfectly — Harbour Town rewards approach play and putting over raw distance. He's been T7-T12-T3 here the last three years.

Cameron Young won the Players Championship and has three straight top-3 finishes, but his Harbour Town history is awful — outside the top 50 each of the last three years. The tiny greens don't suit his game. Fade candidate.

Rory is not playing. When you just completed the grand slam you earn the week off. He wasn't planning to play Hilton Head regardless of the Masters result.

The course itself is the anti-Augusta — tight, tree-lined, tiny greens averaging just 3,700 square feet. You don't need to bomb it. You need to be on the right side of the fairway. It's the grinder's tournament.

Collin Morikawa silenced injury concerns with a Sunday charge to T7 at Augusta and led the field in strokes gained approach. Worth a look at Harbour Town where approach play is almost three times more impactful than driving.

Arlo Parks — Ambiguous Desire. Her third album dropped two weeks ago and it's her most confident work yet. Nocturnal, dancefloor energy, influenced by Burial and LCD Soundsystem. Start with the Kimmel performance of "2SIDED." (Watch)

Foo Fighters — Your Favorite Toy drops April 24. First album with new drummer Ilan Rubin (formerly Nine Inch Nails). They debuted "Of All People" at a church in Dingle, Ireland for the Other Voices series — the live version is better than the studio cut. (Watch)

Stephen Wilson Jr. — "Gary" is climbing the country charts and it sounds like nothing else on country radio. Indiana kid making "Death Cab for Country." His Kimmel performance is the one to watch — slow-burning, patient, feels like a short film. (Watch)

Luke Combs' The Way I Am is due this spring. "My Kinda Saturday Night" and "Sleepless in a Hotel Room" are already in rotation. This one will own every tailgate from May through September.

Red Clay Strays accidentally confirmed on Rogan that album three drops in July. If you haven't caught on yet, these guys are the best live band in country music right now.

Charley Crockett dropped Age Of The Ram earlier this month — the final chapter of his Sagebrush Trilogy, all produced by Shooter Jennings. The man does not stop releasing records and somehow every single one is good. Honky-tonk soul with a voice that sounds like it was aged in a barrel.

Coachella Weekend 2 is this weekend. Stagecoach is next. If you're not going to either, just appreciate that the festival pipeline is about to flood your timeline with content for the next three weeks.

rill season officially starts this weekend. The charcoal has been sitting in your garage since October. Dust it off. This is not optional.

The move: grilled asparagus with lemon and garlic. One pound of asparagus, olive oil, a grated garlic clove, lemon zest, salt, pepper. Four to six minutes over medium-high. Finish with lemon juice and shaved parm. (Recipe)

Asparagus is at absolute peak right now — mid-April through May. Buy the thick stalks. They hold up better on the grill and have more flavor than the pencil-thin ones everyone thinks are fancy.

Pair it with literally anything. Steak. Salmon. Grilled chicken thighs. It's the side dish that makes the main look more intentional than it is.

If you want to go next-level: toss the grilled asparagus with crumbled feta, a squeeze of Meyer lemon, and a drizzle of good olive oil. Takes thirty seconds and turns a side into a showpiece. (Recipe)

Weekend grilling tip nobody tells you: let your grill get fully hot before you put anything on it. Five extra minutes of preheat is the difference between char marks and a sad, steamed vegetable.

Spring farmer's markets are opening across Atlanta right now. DeKalb, Peachtree Road, Grant Park. Buy your asparagus there instead of Kroger this week. You'll taste the difference.

Here's a small thing that compounds: say yes to the things you'd normally skip this month. The 7pm drink. The random Saturday coffee. The "we should grab dinner" text that's been sitting unanswered.

April is the window. By June everyone is traveling, at weddings, at bachelor parties, or locked into summer routines that make getting together harder than it should be.

The friendships that carry into the next decade of your life are built in these low-stakes weeks — not in the perfectly planned group trips to Nashville.

Stop planning and start showing up. The best nights of the year are never on the calendar. They're the Tuesday you stayed an extra hour, the Saturday brunch that turned into an afternoon.

If you've been meaning to reconnect with someone, this is the week. Text them. Don't overthink it. "Been a while — want to grab a drink this week?" has never once been received poorly.

For the guys in relationships: take her somewhere with a patio this weekend. No occasion. No agenda. Just a table outside, two drinks, and your full attention. It costs almost nothing and she'll remember it.

Default to yes for the next four weekends. See what shakes out. The calendar gets crowded fast — use the open space while you have it.

Five days until the Raiders take Fernando Mendoza No. 1 overall in Pittsburgh. The Heisman and national championship winner is the consensus pick. The only drama is whether it's even dramatic.

Most projections have just two quarterbacks going in the first round — Mendoza to Las Vegas, Dante Moore to the Jets at No. 2. If you're a QB-needy team picking in the 20s, you're either trading up or punting to 2027.

The Falcons don't pick until No. 48. Five total picks. No first-rounder. Top three needs: linebacker, wide receiver, defensive tackle. New GM Ian Cunningham has already said he's looking to manufacture more capital.

Cunningham's quote of the offseason: "That's the hand we were dealt." Translation: expect at least one trade-down to stockpile picks. He did the same thing in Chicago. This is a workmanlike draft for Atlanta — fill holes, build depth.

Stefanski's first draft as Falcons coach. He loves multiple-TE sets and both Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner are gone. Don't be shocked if an early pick goes to tight end even though it's not on the "official" needs list.

The Penix question looms over everything. Atlanta signed Tua this offseason but 2026 is about figuring out whether Penix is the long-term answer. Every other pick is downstream of that decision.

Sleeper first-round name to know: Ty Simpson. Most analysts have him as a late first or early second QB — and the Jets sitting at No. 33 with the first pick of Day 2 means any QB-needy team might leapfrog them in the late 20s.

Hilton Head is having a moment. The RBC Heritage brings the best in the world to Harbour Town this week, and the whole island benefits — restaurants are sharp, courses are in tournament-grade shape, energy is up. (Sea Pines Resort)

The play: book late April or early May. You miss the summer-family-beach-crowd markup, the weather is perfect, and greens fees are still reasonable before Memorial Day weekend pricing kicks in.

If you're driving from Atlanta, don't fly. The five-hour drive through the Lowcountry is part of the experience. Leave early Friday, dinner at Skull Creek Boathouse, play 36 Saturday, golf-then-beach Sunday, home by dark.

Courses beyond Harbour Town worth knowing: Atlantic Dunes, Heron Point, and Palmetto Dunes are all legitimately good without LIV-level price tags. You can play all three in a weekend and still eat well.

Not a golfer? Hilton Head still works. Bike the island (it's flat and beautiful), eat oysters at Hudson's Seafood, rent a kayak through the marshes. It's one of the best long-weekend trips within driving distance of Atlanta. (Hudson's Seafood)

Sleeper alternative: Kiawah Island. Forty-five minutes up the coast from Hilton Head, the Ocean Course is a bucket-list track, and the food scene in nearby Charleston makes it a two-for-one trip. (Kiawah Island Golf Resort)

Late September is the other window for Hilton Head. No crowds, lower rates, and the ocean is still warm. If April doesn't work, bookmark it for fall.

It's patio season, which means you're going to eat and drink more than usual for the next ten weeks. Offset it now with a quick morning circuit three days this week.

The workout: 5 rounds, 90 seconds rest between rounds. 12 push-ups, 15 air squats, 10 renegade rows per arm, 20 mountain climbers, 30-second plank. Takes 20 minutes.

Warm up with two minutes of jump rope or a brisk walk around the block. Cold muscles and renegade rows are not friends.

If you're playing golf this weekend, do ten minutes of hip openers and thoracic spine rotations before your round. Your swing — and your back on Sunday — will thank you.

Farmer's carries: one of the highest-ROI exercises in strength training. Grab two heavy dumbbells, walk for distance, four rounds of 40 yards. Core, grip, posture, mental toughness — all in one brutal set.

Spring sport re-entry advice: if you haven't swung a club since November, don't go straight to the course. Hit the range twice, do some light rotation work, ease back in. The ache of coming back beats the ache of never returning.

Take a walk this weekend. Not a workout. A walk. Find a park, a quiet neighborhood, a stretch of the BeltLine. Twenty minutes, no headphones. It's the lowest-effort, highest-return thing you can do for your head right now.
