“The juice you feel at a major is way different than at a normal Tour event.”

On CNBC yesterday, Scott O'Neil couldn't guarantee LIV Golf's final four events will take place in 2026, but he was willing to guarantee "a heck of a return if you come invest in this business."

Completely agree with Geoff that we are in the “steroids era of golf”
It’s a shame on many levels but mostly for the players who I believe are better but we actually don’t know how much better because they have equipment that has diluted so much of the challenge of the game.

After watching the women take on Riviera at the U.S. Women's Open, @GeoffShac reflected on how modern equipment has diminished both shot-making and stylistic variety in the men's game.
