Amateur Golf Week in Review (Jan 6): Remembering Emanuele, New Year’s Invitational Drama, Jones Cup + Stanford Preview

Kyle and McKenzie break down the biggest amateur golf stories heading into 2026: remembering Emanuele Galeppini, a wild six-man playoff at the 100th New Year’s Invitational, and what to watch at the Jones Cup Invitational. They also preview AmateurGolf.com’s Silicon Valley Amateur at Stanford (Kyle will be on site next week), give a first-round update from the Australian Master of the Amateurs, dig into NIL valuations in golf, and wrap with some quick college-golf trivia. Plus: a shoutout to Callaway as the 2026 Chrome Tour ball lineup hits the market after our own fitting and testing at the Callaway Performance Center last year.
