Trade the Majors

The biggest major of the year is this weekend — and with Kalshi, you don't just watch it. You trade it.

Take a position on who wins, who makes the cut, and how the leaderboard shakes out. With Kalshi, you buy "Yes" or "No" shares based on what you think happens — and earn returns if you're right.

No house. Peer-to-peer. Transparent market pricing. Cash out before the final round if you want.

The markets are live. To get you started, we're giving you a free $10. No deposit, no catch.

The biggest moments in golf. Now they're tradeable.

Trade responsibly.

Tip of the day

When someone hits everything hard, the worst thing you can do is swing harder back. At the kitchen, keep your paddle out front and use short, compact motions, angling the face slightly down so the ball drops to their feet.

That forces them to hit up, and now they either pop it into your strike zone or miss. Pickleball comes down to who is hitting down versus who is hitting up, so make every volley, reset, and drop go low.

To reach the kitchen against a banger, do not drive and rush in behind it, because they will volley it back at your feet. Hit a series of drop shots instead, earning your way forward one low ball at a time.

In the transition zone, never hit while moving forward. Split step, set your feet, hit your reset, and then move. Think move, stop, hit, and move again.

Do not give bangers what they want, which is pace, high balls, and chaos. Slow the game down, stay patient, and make them play your controlled style.

Key points

  • Keep your paddle out front with short motions and angle it down to their feet.

  • Whoever forces the other player to hit up controls the point.

  • Use a series of low drop shots, not a drive and rush, to reach the kitchen.

  • In the transition zone, split step and set your feet before you hit, then move.

  • Deny bangers pace and high balls by slowing the game down and staying patient.
