@AndrewKirbyGolf So funny how the LIV guys have been so bad you’re trying to still call Reed a LIV guy. You understand right he isn’t part of LIV in 2026. He doesn’t play for them. So you have one guy in the top 20. Wow so exciting.

So have heard that LIV players are going badly (oops Hatton 🤣) at the masters after 2 weeks off P Reed hasn’t played a tourney for 4 weeks and is tied for the lead Over the years many players have successfully had a break from tournaments before majors - Tiger is exhibit A Too much is being read into this - it’s golf - things screw up for all sorts of reasons

@Luke_Elvy I think what’s hard for Americans esp to understand is a world class athlete who has the chance to be a an all time great not care. It’s so foreign to most elite athletes. Great he is rich but he was rich anyway. But now will never be remembered in golf history. That’s sad.

Cam Smith will be pissed to miss the cut in his last 6 majors. But he will wake up tomorrow knowing he’s a healthy father & husband with generational wealth. Also his name is forever etched into the Claret Jug as the 150th Open Champion at St Andrews. If that sucks, sign me up.

@TeeTimesPub There isn’t any way to spin it other than disaster for LIV. They need to go low tomorrow or this could be their worst showing ever and that’s saying a lot. But their 2 main guys just didn’t show up.

No spinning the first round performances by #LIVGolf players at #TheMasters. Some better than expected, some around expectations, but most below. Gotta turn things around, but the same way the PGA Tour didn’t ruin Cantlay’s game, LIV didn’t ruin theirs. Silly to think & say that. Just stands out a lot more with the small sample size of players and events.

Wow could this first day be going any worse for you LIV guys. All you 10 times a day posters leading up to today have gone really quiet. Don’t think this day 1 could be going any worse for LIv

@GrowTheGolfGame @TheMasters @rydercup @DPWorldTour @JonRahmOfficial This didn’t age well fast as he is off to a horrendous start.

Jon Rahm will win @TheMasters this year, yet the headlines will read that he is ineligible to represent Europe in the @rydercup because the @DPWorldTour have literally moved the goal post for LIV golfers, secretly requiring them to play an additional 2 events to remain members

@LIVTracking @TheMasters Hilarious. Good one.

The fact that Max Homa is in the field at @TheMasters while Anthony Kim isn’t says everything about what’s broken in professional golf. Most recent wins: Anthony Kim - 2026 Max Homa - 2022 Disgusting.

@brydog7474 @DJohnsonPGA @livgolf_league @TheMasters Ridiculous posts like this that ruin it for real LIv guys and make nantz call you bots. Playing well? He isn’t even in the top 25 on an amateur tour and hasn’t even sniffed a win. How is he playing well? You could say you think he might surprise people but saying playing well lol

DJ is my sleeper pick this week... He's been playing really well and he knows Augusta well 👌⛳️💯 DJ and a 2026 Green Jacket is totally cool with me! LONG LIV GOLF @DJohnsonPGA @livgolf_league @TheMasters

@flushingitgolf He is spot on and everyone knows it. Perfectly said. Confident enough to speak the truth.

Jim Nantz responds to criticism of his Bryson DeChambeau comments: “You’ve got all these (LIV) bots… I’m not on social media but if you say anything that’s loosely interpreted as negative they come after you. And that’s fine. I stand by my comments.”

@NUCLRGOLF Everyone in the world agrees with this take. Jon has become too egotistical.

🚨🇪🇺🗣️ #SELF INFLICTED — Legendary swing coach Butch Harmon says if Jon Rahm is ineligible for the Ryder Cup then that’s his own problem. “If Jon is not there, I think it will be self-inflicted. I don’t see where he has been coming from on his little rant. Jon is one of the best players in the world and if he can keep his emotions in check he has to be one of the guys you consider at Augusta.” “But the stuff of the DP World Tour, I feel that was uncalled for. If you want to play there, there’s the rules. If you don’t want to play there, don’t play there and accept the consequences. It’s his choice.” (Via: @TelegraphSport)

@sportsinfive Very very few people would agree with this post. Gooch hasn’t been a competitive golfer in 3 years. Nieman has had plenty of chances and has been horrible in every major. Puig is the only one that you can make an argument for.

Niemann and Puig not being in the field at the masters really sucks.. plenty will disagree with this but if the majors are going to have the best fields the top 10 from 2025 liv golf standings should be in all 4.. probably top 3 or 4 from the current standings as well

@_54Golf lol. Thanks for starting the day with some good humor. Love it.

🔥 2026 MASTERS PREDICTIONS: Do 70% of the LIV Golf League entrees have a legitimate shot to win the green jacket? It certainly feels that way ⬇️

@JonnyRoot_ Enough already with Bronny. He isn’t close to being an nba player. Only gets to stay in G league bc of his dad. He should be in Europe.

Bronny James ran point for the Lakers during their 45-point loss to OKC. It was bad. Really bad.

@PaigeSpiranac When is the aprils fools follow up coming?

With all this discourse online around “nice cans” I’ve had some time to reflect. After much thought and consideration I’ve decided it’s time to start taking myself more seriously. I’ve invested in a whole new golf wardrobe. I will only be wearing collared shirts from this day forward. Thank you for supporting me through this difficult transition in my life.

@theficouple $3 mill are you serious. That isn’t even close to set for life.

Once you have a $3 million net-worth? It no longer makes sense to keep investing aggressively. You won the game, you're set for life now just use money to enjoy life. ...Do you agree!?

@BroncosOutside Only a guy who writes for LIv could spin things this well. Nicely done.

10 LIV Golf Thoughts Pre-Masters 1)This has been nothing less than a dream start for the league this season. Best opening stretch in the short history of LIV Golf! 2)Anthony Kim winning in Adelaide is arguably the biggest and most important moment LIV has ever had. AK was brought on by Greg Norman a few years back with an inspiring story of a man who was finding a second wind in life. The golf, though, proved to be a slow grind as AK toiled near the bottom of the leaderboard in most events. After relegation, for him to earn his way back, get signed onto the 4Aces, and then to chase down Rahm and Bryson in front of the massive Aussie crowd was jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, emotional, and electric. What a moment for AK and for LIV as well. To see AK with his wife and daughter emotional on the 18th green was one of the best moments in all of golf in many years! 3)The debut of the South Africa LIV event is also up there as far as most important moments in LIV history. I honestly think that there hasn't been a better debut tournament in all of golf in the past 3 decades (at least) that was as successful as this one was. Massive crowds, perfect energy, the love and support of the Southern Guards, the playoff between the Titans... what a perfect debut. Now LIV has 2 monster tournaments, which is hard to describe how important that was for LIV to add another one like that. All tournaments are growing, but now there are 2 models for others to look to for how great LIV tournaments can be. 4)With Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed leaving in the offseason, LIV seemed to be at a critical cross-roads as the season began. Momentum seemed to be heading in the wrong direction. Somehow, though, the league seems to be in a better position than ever with a deeper field, great storylines, a positive energy, and a growing market around the world! 5)Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm are now the undisputed Titans of LIV Golf, and both have lived up to that billing so far this season. Rahmbo has been in the Top 5 in every event (unbelievable consistency), and Bryson is firing on all cylinders lately and has won back-to-back events heading into the Masters. It is nothing but good for these 2 to be playing this well, and there is no doubt that both are Top 5 golfers in the world at the moment. I truly hope that both of them win at least 1 Major Championship this season! 6)The switch to 72 holes has been a positive for the league. I was on the fence about it at the beginning, but the results speak for themselves. I have enjoyed getting to watch an extra day of golf at each event, and the flow of the tournament through the 4 days has helped to produce some great drama and fantastic finishes. 7)Although only rewarding the Top 10 with OWGR points (or "crumbs" as some of my friends would say) is frustrating, it is a great start and has also been a positive for the league. With growing crowds, major exemptions (needs to be more of those as well), OWGR points, and golfers emotional about victories, it is really tough for anyone to claim that this is an "exhibition" now. I do believe that the number of OWGR finishers will grow each year and that things are headed in a positive direction. 8)With the TV production of the product, there have been positives and negatives that have been a little hard to get used to for those of us that have watched LIV from the beginning. It has been frustrating to not have the pylon showing both the individual and team at the same time, and it has been REALLY frustrating not having a pre-round and post-round show available for us to watch on the app. I understand that TNT must have paid extra to be able to have an exclusive pre and post round show, and I hear great things about it, but it doesn't make sense to me that the rest of us don't get to see it. On the positive side, the television product does look great and crisp this season overall. Arlo and David are both excelling as usual in the booth, and Jerry is amazing out on the course and seems to be happy doing it. The on-course interviews by Rachel have been great and she is a phenomenal talent, and the addition of Henni Zuel has been a home run as well. It has taken me a while to get used to Nicolas Colsaerts and Brett Rumford, but they seem to be fitting in well. I'm glad Su-Ann is still on the team, but I do miss Dom a lot out there. 9)The 4Aces being back in the mix of best teams in the league is great for the league. Thomas Detry has been an excellent signing and his buddy Thomas Pieters has benefited from that as well! The change from PReed to AK has been a shockingly good move for the team. Having DJ's team back near the top just feels right, and they are right there with Ripper, Crushers, Legion, Torque, and Southern Guards as best teams! 10)The development of the young players in LIV is paramount for the future of the league, and it will be interesting to watch which ones of them break out into top players in the world. Young Elvis Smylie won on debut and has had a huge start to his time here on LIV, and it feels like Josele Ballester is close to a huge breakthrough. David Puig seems inevitable but hasn't been able to finish on top yet. So many exciting storylines already this season! The Masters is almost here and here's hoping that the LIV guys play well! And LIV Mexico the week after! Look forward to seeing the rest of this awesome season play out! #LIVGolf

@JuddulgadzBurnr @NUCLRGOLF Love your sense of humor. Appreciate it.

@CliffDamico @NUCLRGOLF LIV has 3 of the top 5 players in the world, so yeah he should probably be watching, bud.

🚨🏌️❌ #NEW — On a media call, the voice of The Masters, Jim Nantz, was asked about Bryson DeChambeau's form heading into the year’s first major: "I have to confess, I have not seen Bryson hit a single shot this year….All I can go off of is the YouTube videos I've watched with my son.” (Via: @_DavidRumsey)

@tomandmartys There is no comparison. One guy was in exile for 20 yrs due to self recklessness. Great he has recovered but not the same. Gary was always revered and well liked and lost years due to none of his own decisions. This is so much a better story.

By the way, Anthony Kim’s story is not more inspiring than Gary Woodland’s. But Gary Woodland’s isn’t more inspiring than Anthony Kim’s either. It’s not a competition and things hit differently for different people. That’s fine. Also, Woodland’s win doesn’t make Tiger a worse person. Or make Woodland look better. Again, the need to make everything relative is a you problem. Just savor the good things and not make everything a pissing contest, and you’ll be a happier person. That said, Cam Young winning the Masters will beat them all…

@ThorbjornOleZyn What a joke of a post. Nobody actually believes this even you. Come on. Why would he watch? NBA announcers don’t watch the G league for stats. This is no different. He watches the 200 guys on the pro circuit.

“I have to admit, I’m ill-prepared to do my job and proud to say so”

@NUCLRGOLF I don’t care what side of golf you are on but this is the best golf story in a long long time. Amazing win.

🚨WOODLAND EYES VICTORY 🏆 7️⃣ shot lead. 5️⃣ holes to play. Gary Woodland is cruising towards a comeback for the ages in Houston.
