. @BobHarig says the shotgun start probably would not be a part of "LIV 2.0" due to the high TV production costs associated with it.
LIV's TV production budget last year was roughly $85-90M, or $6M per event, roughly double the cost to produce a PGA Tour event the-daily-drive.com/p/golf-i…

LIV CEO Scott O'Neil spoke to @MarkCannizzaro about the league's effort to raise funds: “I know I shouldn’t be enjoying this moment, but I’m full of energy right now. This is what I’m meant to be here for. Every investor call I get, I get more excited and more hyped. I get on player calls and they’re like, ‘Let’s go, team.’ nypost.com/2026/06/11/sports…

Mackenzie Hughes has a fresh partnership for this week with the @BuffaloBills - a team he's been a long-time fan of. And maybe a surprise in store for The Rink ;)

Big fan of Ryan Fox. And this was a great shot. But the escalation of plaques across golf is deeply unsettling

This isn’t dissimilar to when I asked O’Neil last November if Brooks Koepka would be playing for LIV in 2026, to which he replied that Koepka was “signed for 2026.”

McAfee has REALLY leaned into golf the past few months. A ton of golf guests. Maybe he’s just a big golf fan, but maybe it’s a window into future rights deals. Maybe both.

Interesting nugget I’ve heard about in recent weeks: The tour has had discussions about tweaking its title sponsorship model to get the city/region/tournament more prominence.
Hypothetically: the Seattle Open presented by Amazon. Or the Charles Schwab Colonial. Love the idea.
