@Cam_Jourdan @golfweek Priority 1: get your players to care. Priority 2: create a feasible business. Not following how you can be high on LIV when you don’t have either of these two things after 3+ years and billions of $. Sigh.

LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil said Tuesday his energy hasn't been this high since he has started. He feels there is a clear path to win. What is that path forward for LIV Golf? "For us, the priorities are really clear. First and foremost, we need to get the players settled, on board, and focusing on golf. That's first and foremost. Secondly, we have to create a plan that's a business plan, a business that works from a business standpoint, from a profit and loss standpoint, like every other business in the world, and we are well on our way to that. "Thirdly and maybe more importantly -- and I've been blessed with this my entire life -- is you surround yourself with smart, talented, experienced people. For us they came in the form of two new board members, Gene Davis and Jon Zinman. Gene has been through 350 of these, how about that? When we're on a call -- and I talk to Jon and Gene a couple times a day, sometimes more -- and I will tell you having experienced directors that understand the situation we're in, can work with urgency, pace, our very directive, our incredible sounding boards, couldn't be happier. "So you take that combination and put that with this extraordinary team I get to work with every single day, and I am lifted. I understand that -- I understand where some of your emotions are, mine are in a can do: Let's get the plan set, let's surround ourselves with extraordinary talent, and let's get after it."

This is good stuff. Rory can be beat, but can’t be broken.

Lots to discuss in today’s BG. Check it out!

@_raymondwill @TommyFleetwood1 Was he rocking no belt?

For those wondering what @TommyFleetwood1 was wearing yesterday. ⬇️ 👕: Late Nine | Ribbed Jersey Polo Taupe | $252 👖: Lululemon | Daydrift Relaxed-Fit Pleated Trouser Olive | $148 👟: Sun Day Red | Spiked Presidio (Unreleased)

I think Scottie flashing is a good thing for Rory. Keep the pedal down, busy busy gotta go

@WestwoodLee @TheMasters They should crank it up like Steyn City, a true test of golf

Still looks a bit too receptive out there for a Saturday at the @TheMasters

@NicoleRaeGolf And is it just me, or do they kinda look the same?

This Brooks Koepka and Chris Gotterup Saturday tee time might be an all-timer. Buckle up Jersey

@BowTied_Golfer What’s the big deal — brands are capitalizing on a a huge sports moment. If it’s not happening on the grounds then so be it.

As I said last night - the masters is trending in the direction of the US Open (tennis). No good. This type of pop up is what you see in Queens in September. It’s built for a specific type of spectator

Quick Saturday morning check-in… Can Rory blow this thing? Who do we want to chase? Plus… best fits, best case scenarios and much more! Peep it all below 🤝

@NUCLRGOLF Get Brandel in the kitchen with M.W. Lee and let em cook

😳🫨⛳️ #NOT READY — Brandel Chamblee SLAMS LIV golfers after Round 1 at The Masters "What Bryson did with his iron play is what Bryson has been doing with his iron play since the first year that he played here... I've really not seen any change in it. It's like (Jon Rahm) forgot how to play the game...it's amazing to me. On every tee, he's swinging as hard as he can, it's like he's in a long drive contest. I've never seen anybody swing it as hard as he's swinging it on every tee shot. It's like there's no nuance or no niche to his golf swing. They're not being challenged, they're not being tested, and so they're not ready... If every single week you go out and you're not challenged - when | look at the statistics, it'd be like if Steph Curry was shooting free-throws with a hula-hoop-sized rim and thinking he's 100%. That's the false arrogance they would have coming in here." Remember early on they had some nice finishes, Brooks won a major, Phil won a major and Bryson won a major…. But as time has gone on with LIV, they’ve gotten worse and worse and worse.” (Via: @SkySports)

There may be more pressure on Frankie Fleetwood to hit the green than any other player to win The Masters this year #Justakid

Best week of the year, let’s get it 🌺

The four best words in golf: Masters week is here.

THIS LEAGUE

@PGATOUR @ValsparChamp Thirst bucket of the week @TheShotgunStart

Players were allowed to customize their caddie bibs this week @ValsparChamp. Alejandro Tosti saw it as an opportunity. "I offer a lot of good stuff. I love cooking, I can fly airplanes, play golf and have fun" ❤️

You know the Leafs are bad when I’m watching TGL over them. Or maybe TGL is just good now?
