“Cue up the slippery sound effects, get me a studio audience and, for God’s sake, someone turn on ‘Yakety Sax’!” It’s a simple formula: Animal invades field, uncoordinated men pursue said animal and hilarity ensues.

It is an event designed to feature the best 64 players in the world, who are seeded like the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, and then face off in a rare match-play tournament. It’s a style of golf that encourages risk/reward play, and the Golf Club at Dove Mountain is a course that sets up well for that style.

Ferrari is the sport’s most prestigious team, having won the most races and championships, by far. Since 1950, the inaugural season of the F1 World Championship, Ferrari has used its privileged status to exact concessions from the sport’s...
