Wow...

I’ll never forget watching Aaron Rai do putting drills at 7pm on the Wednesday of the 2022 Irish Open. It was hammering down, he was soaked and still stayed out. I cheered every putt he holed with a Guinness in my hand under cover of the terrace. Maybe there’s a lesson in that

Who will win the @PGAChampionship? It could be one of at least 40 players. @McIlroyRory needs to shoot 65 but my prediction is that @JonRahmOfficial will be the one lifting the wanamaker trophy #PGAChampionship #LIVgolf

Played last year and the greens had improved lots ,there was obviously some investment going on ...

Funny !

Jim Nantz famously said “Welcome to the big time” @McIlroyRory after his first PGA tour victory at Quail Hollow in 2010. Today, Rory returns to action on the same course at the @TruistChamp still defining the big time. My prediction? Rory will win two more Majors in 2026

There’s a lot of speculation about what might happen with the players if LIV Golf were to fold. Thomas Pieters of 4 Aces GC was asked about it on the latest episode of Dan on Golf: “I’m definitely never going back to the PGA Tour. I’ve never liked that life. And that’s not me having a go at the PGA Tour, it’s not for me. “I tried it and I just wasn’t happy there. If it (LIV) goes away, I’ll probably try and play some on the European Tour or I don’t know. I really don’t know. “I’m not fussed about it at this point because I feel like I still have a duty to focus on these next six, seven tournaments on LIV and then we’ll see. They’re obviously trying to get it together next year. We’ll see.” He was then asked about speculation that players hadn’t been paid ahead of LIV Golf Mexico City: “We got paid. We are getting paid. It was a week late. Some got it early, some got it a week late, but I’m not sure these guys check their bank accounts every two seconds.” Then he was asked what LIV Golf are telling the players about the future: “Not much. I think what ever comes out officially from LIV is what we’re getting half a day before it goes out. Scott is telling us that he’s going to a broader market and trying to fund this for next year. I guess it’s a massive challenge. But we just have to wait and see.” And finally he was asked whether he has loyalty to LIV Golf: “We are just guessing right now. But if we’re playing for 5 million next year or I could play on the DP World Tour for 3 million but be close to home that’s something I’d have to look at it when it comes. Possibly there’s guys going. But I think that’s up to Scott and his team to get this thing together and we’ll just have to find out.” There is a scheduled full player meeting tomorrow in DC, so players should have more clarity on what’s going on. @DanOnGolfShow @Daniel_Rapaport @Thomas_Pieters

WONDERING WHY WINS 🥇 🐎🔥 The best feeling in the world Jonesy and Wayne win for the second time this season sending all of his loyal and enthusiastic owners into pandemonium. This is what the sport is all about 🔥❤️ @benpauling1 training his 4th winner for the Basher Watts Racing Syndicate is 2026 from 7 runs!

I played the National course at the @Regnum hotel about 10 years ago and thought it might be a decent tournament course...too narrow for spectators apparently! They have now lost enough weight to get around ! What a great watch !Some bottle will be needed to close the @T_A_Golf .

Check for facts pal...I have never been involved in any deal involving LIV ...

I think the PIF sponsorship of the ladies stuff is quite successful and probably should continue ... I think the Ladies Tour have done well to avoid the controversy and is going from strength to strength apparently.

Great opportunity for a new investor to buy low. Lotsa brand recognition, strong international markets. Just gotta void every contract - force majeure! - and start over with $10 million purses. Lotsa dudes will need a place to play. LIV can endure but in a less decadent way.

#LIVGolf is forming a strategic board and appointing two leaders that will help the league transition into a "diversified, multi-partner investment model". Together, Jon Zinman and Gene Davis bring nearly 50 years of experience. They specialize in guiding large companies through transitory periods, attracting outside investment, and positioning them for long-term financial success. Gene Davis says of LIV Golf: "The executive leadership team, along with Jon and I, see a clear opportunity to help the league formalize it's structure, attract and secure long-term capital, and position the business for growth while continuing to promote the game across the world." The season thus far has been a rollercoaster, with some of the best moments in LIV's history, but also some moments of extraordinary uncertainty. With PIF only committing to funding the league for the remainder of the 2026 season, there have been understandable questions regarding the sustainability of the model. These questions became more prevalent with the rescheduling of the New Orleans event. The new board and existing leadership will have some difficult conversations and challenging decisions to make, but the season thus far has also provided some real momentum that they can build on. Elvis Smylie winning his first ever event, Anthony Kim completing the comeback, and record crowds in both Adelaide and South Africa. These moments present opportunities from a business standpoint. These are the things they can sell to potential investors, and these are the things that provide an increasingly clear path to profitability. Adding to that, in late May the league will head to Korea where they anticipate finalizing several new sponsorship deals and are expecting near sell out crowds. All of the conversations I've had with both staff and players of LIV Golf seem in stark contrast to the discourse in the media. They realize the challenges and understand that changes are coming, but are ready and willing to do everything they can to make things work. They've all already had the opportunity to leave the league and have opted not to do so. Of course, they are inclined to say and believe these things, but given everything that's been going on it would be just as easy for them to project doubt and uncertainty. Both the new strategic board and existing leadership are going to have their hands full for the rest of the year. They'll have to quickly address not only structural issues at the league level (reducing expenditure, seeking outside investment, scheduling concerns) but also ongoing operational challenges (communication - big one, marketing, and player contracts). The two new appointees are uniquely qualified to address a lot of these concerns and attract long-term partners as the league remains on track for it's second straight season of triple digit revenue growth. But make no mistake about it, these are some "make some cuts" and "make it make sense for investors" type guys. Not little tweaks or alterations, but big expenditure cuts and structural changes. The CEO, Scott O'Neil has received a lot of blowback from existing LIV Golf fans and many feel that in some ways the league has taken a step back. While he didn't come in with a ton of knowledge of the golf world, and that was felt early on, he does bring extensive experience in the business and investment world, and this might be the point in his LIV Golf journey where that comes in handy. As a fan of the league, I hope that proves to be the case. A lot will be learned over the coming months about the direction they are taking LIV, what changes they've got in store, and what cuts need to be made to make things work.

In three years, @livgolf_league generated $107M of revenue and ran up losses of $1.1 billion (good stat @KieranMaguire). Here’s how I think it will now play out #LIVgolf

This month has been a total collapse for the golf establishment media. They spent years building a moral high ground that just disintegrated in real-time. 🚨 The Golf Establishment Media’s Worst Month Ever The "moral high ground" just hit bedrock. While the media spent years lecturing us on ethics, the last 15 days have exposed a level of hypocrisy and gatekeeping that is impossible to ignore. 1️⃣ The DP World Tour Silence: Where is the outrage? The Chairman/CEO of the DP World Tour’s title sponsor just resigned after the Epstein files revealed lewd emails and references to a “torture video.” The establishment media—so vocal about LIV’s funding and morals—has been remarkably quiet. The hypocrisy is deafening. 🤐 2️⃣ OWGR Surrender: After years of moving the goalposts, the OWGR finally granted LIV Golf ranking points. They said it would never happen; now it’s a reality. Even with a restricted formula that only rewards the top 10, the "exhibition" narrative is officially dead. Legitimacy has been earned. 📈 3️⃣ The Anthony Kim Resurrection: They said he was done; that it was just a publicity stunt. Instead, AK just outdueled Rahm and DeChambeau at LIV Adelaide—the most attended event in Australian golf history (115,000 fans). A historic comeback the golf media never expected, much less happening in front of the biggest LIV crowd. 🇦🇺🏆 The Bottom Line: You can’t gatekeep a sport when the fans have already walked through the gates. The establishment is scrambling for a new script and trying to literally rewrite history because the old script just went up in flames this month. All the while they were writing posts on X with the “I don’t care about LIV, but” caveat while Anthony Kim was in the middle of an amazing comeback story in Australia. It was funny to see all those posts and not only them having to admit they were watching a LIV Golf event but encouraging others to watch history in the making at a LIV Golf event. Ultimately, this month has exposed the "golf establishment media" for exactly what it is: a collection of gatekeepers whose morality and journalistic ethics are selective and whose predictions are consistently wrong. They stayed silent when the DP World boss was embroiled in the Epstein files, they moved the goalposts on the OWGR and LIV Golf legitimacy until they ran out of grass, and now are still trying to find ways to still trash LIV Golf saying that “For all the billions LIV Golf has spent, its greatest moment had nothing to do with money,” totally ignoring the fact as our good friend Ernie wrote: “the billions provided the context that made this both possible and special.”

Anthony Kim’s wife, Emily, has posted on Instagram to say how proud she is of AK. “We are so blessed you are alive and you are ours.” @AnthonyKim_Golf

Don’t you just love it when players give a couple seconds to the young kids that are buzzing to see them… Heartwarming stuff from the Chelsea players🤥😐
