Today’s pro athletes (and plenty of amateurs and weekend warriors, too) use the latest technology to get deeper insight into their performance—and an edge on their competitors. Although the sport is steeped in tradition, golf is no different. We caught up with 2016 U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson to learn more about how he uses tech, most notably the TrackMan monitoring system, to up his game.

On Monday, as reported by the Orange County Register, surfers in Dana Point, California encountered a very curious visitor in the lineup. At Doheny State Beach, a juvenile gray whale casually approached several surfers near the north end of the surf break, at a spot known as “Boneyard.” And luckily, 18-year-old Payton Landaas spotted the rare occurrence, and was able to capture the footage using his drone. “Honestly, it didn’t feel real,” Landass told the Register....

Like so many other things out there that are awesome — cars, steak, smartphones —clothing isn’t all that great for the environment. It turns out that it takes several dozen pounds of water to produce a single pound of clothing, with the lion’s share going into the dyeing process. Jockey International, the Wisconsin-based underwear company that’s been around since the 1870s, just launched a new line of eco-friendly underwear and tee-shirts that uses a waterless dyeing process, which is a step in the right direction considering how much water goes into making clothes....

Playing the personality-shifting Kevin Wendell Crumb, one of the two villains in M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller Glass, is more like taking on several roles at once—a handful for any actor. But that’s all in a day’s work for Men’s Journal February cover star James McAvoy, who first played Crumb in 2017’s Split and reprised the role for Glass. This time around, however, he needed more than just stellar acting. He had to get ripped, too....

If you’re the daughter of legendary style master and three-time world surf champ, Tom Curren, it’s not a big surprise if you’re both a surfer and a musician.

Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel have been “feuding” for years, mostly through pranks and fun interviews on Kimmel’s late night talk show. But with the World Series in Los Angeles for Game 5 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox—Damon’s hometown team—the duo took their feud to Dodger Stadium on Sunday night. Who Should Be the Next Batman After Ben Affleck? Read article Kimmel and Damon were seated next to each other at the game—with Damon pal Ben Affleck there too—and were wearing “I’m With Stupid” t-shirts with an arrow pointing towards the other person....

Call it one of many tradition-breaking moves felt ’round the world. On Saturday, when Prince Harry married his fiancé Meghan Markle, their wedding’s music and sermon, including a gospel choir, reflected the bride’s background and made royal superfans of even the harshest cynics. And true to his reputation as the bad boy of Windsor, Harry showed up with his beard unshaven. Though it may seem small in comparison to everything else that happened on Saturday, it was a grooming choice that will undoubtedly have worldwide repercussions....

Making your own pumpkin puree is an arduous task. Instead, purchase 100% pure pumpkin puree, on which pumpkin is listed as the only ingredient, at your local grocery store.

Maui has always been an island of watersports innovation. Windsurfing, big-wave surfing, SUP and foiling continue to be pushed to their limits by a local cadre of the world’s top ocean athletes.

Jean-Claude Van Damme can still pull off a pretty badass roundhouse kick.

Along with his new CIA thriller Black Water, which stars Van Damme and his Expendables 2 pal Dolph Lundgren, Van Damme is leading Kickboxer: Retaliation, the second sequel to his iconic action film....

Why do some people get goofy and affectionate when drunk, while others become downright nasty? There are a lot of factors at play, says explains Joshua Gowin, Ph.D., of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Some are speculative—a tiny bit of research links whisky to angry behavior (but it’s also possible that angry people just gravitate toward whisky, for whatever reason, says Gowin). Others, like these six below, are more concrete: different factors that science shows determine your intoxicated identity....
