To Shrink or Not to Shrink? An essay on the Masters. Read here! open.substack.com/pub/divdustsdi…

@GolfweekNichols I cannot explain how big of a deal Nelly being on Pat’s show was (and is!). His audience is tremendous, and I appreciate him acknowledging the fact that he didn’t know much about her until the interview. Nelly is an incredible communicator and a true star. 10/10 for Golf!!

Which is bigger for the LPGA and Nelly Korda?

Just watched the @GolfDigest video on Aronimink and it’s safe to say I’m getting hyped. This feels like the first PGA Tournament in a while that will have some real juice… but any momentum will be lost with us at PGA Frisco.

@NUCLRGOLF Well, it’s great that the PGA Tour was able to have an event in a prime market, having F1 at the same time is turning out to be a huge detriment. Those crowds overlap immensely.

🚨😬⛳️ #LOOK — Sparse crowds are on-site at Doral for the final round of the Cadillac Championship - a Signature Event. This was the crowd following the final group of Cam Young, Scottie Scheffler & Si Woo Kim at the 5th. What do you make of the light galleries this week?

Adam Scott is the new Shakespeare? Ok Blue Monster poem. @CBSSports

@robmcthai F1 Miami is going on right now. There really is nobody out on the course.

is this Cadillac Championship open to the public? Is it open to players families? There is literally no one there

@strait_vibinn When I tell you I audibly laughed out loud… gosh I love the internet

Matt Fitzpatrick was wildin

@JustinRose99 King behavior. A nice little retort yet it’s pure class.

Cheers Rick for the stats… will use DRS tomorrow after that info… 🤝

@awfulannouncing Cmon dude. You don’t even know what you’re saying.

"If the PGA decides to punish these (LIV) golfers, we should stay in their ass like white on rice…the players didn't want to leave the PGA, they were forced to." – Stephen A. Smith

@Cam_Jourdan Is it just me or does it look like Jordan is being held hostage… get this boy some water. We need him in good spirits so he’ll actually contend past day 1

Jordan Spieth was asked about the ongoing situation with LIV and how the PGA Tour should treat players who want to return. "I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it should be the same for everyone. I know olive branches were given out, you know, a couple months ago. Brooks took 'em up on it. So I'm not sure what would now change. Obviously with, if it -- and I don't even know, that doesn't necessarily mean that LIV's not going to still move on, too. "I think there's just too many unknowns for me to have a good gauge on what would happen there. But I think, if there's a system for Brooks and a system for Patrick Reed, does that stay the same for guys in the same category as those two coming back or does it change now. Does it change for guys who sued and dropped their membership. "There's just a lot of different things that happened over the last four years for that. I'm kind of glad I'm not in that room, and I trust the guys that are in that room to make the right decision."

Nature is healing

@tweeth_mitchell It’s an infection. It’s a disease, but I refuse to take the booster. Spieth legion forever 🫡

All the golf group chats this afternoon

@sam_golf Karma is a new pair of irons that was made by a car company.

Man I really hope this is just a short teething period with the new bats 😬

@NUCLRGOLF Subtle flex alert

🚨🗣️🇺🇸 JUST IN — President Donald Trump reacts to the news about LIV Golf: “I'm not sure what's happening with LIV. But they are playing at my course in two weeks on the Potomac, beautiful course. But right now, they're playing at Doral, which I own.”

@NUCLRGOLF I want to say I’m surprised… but I’m really not. I feel like we could all see this coming. It all starts like this, liv slowly backing out out of tournament after tournament. If I was Rahm or Bryson’s manager right now I’d be sprinting not running to the PGA Tour’s headquarters

🚨🫨📝 #STATEMENT — The State of Louisiana has issued a statement regarding the postponement of LIV Golf’s June event in New Orleans and begins by thanking the PGA TOUR for The Zurich. 😳 “First, we want to thank Zurich and PGA TOUR leadership for another outstanding tournament this past weekend. We are proud of the continued partnership and the opportunities this event brings to our state each year.” “Secretary Bourgeois spoke with LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil on Friday and was informed that the organization seeks to postpone its June 2026 event in New Orleans to explore a potential event this fall. The state has already paid $3.2 million in accordance with the contract….” “LIV is expected to return all state incentive funds, with the exception of the $2 million already invested in upgrades for City Park, ensuring those improvements remain in place for the community. We appreciate LIV's good-faith efforts and look forward to maintaining our partnership as we continue conversations around an event later this year….” “We are grateful for the work of our local partners and the collaboration that supported this effort. Louisiana continues to move forward with strong momentum and we remain focused on opportunities that deliver value for our communities.” ➡️ What do you make of this?

@NUCLRGOLF @NOLAnews Some (the Bots) might be able to hold onto a sliver of hope that LIV will continue, but without the PIF funding that argument seems null. It’s over. At least in the sense that any momentum LIV had, has now been replaced with existential dread about its future.

🚨❌⛳️ JUST IN — Sources tell @NOLAnews that LIV Golf officials have notified the state of Louisiana that it intends to “pivot” from its scheduled 72-hole event slated for June to a smaller “exposition-style” tournament this fall, instead, with an official announcement coming Tuesday. What do you make of this?

@tomandmartys Ok that is an important issue, yes, but can we talk about this video? The R&N needs to lock in! Russell looks dead

This is awful. Pick one. Royal Lytham, or St Annes. No one likes it when they do a multi-course rotation at the Amex or Torrey Pines. Now they are holding an Open Championship on two courses? Such bullshit.

@CPowers14 I trust JR on this one, he has been a critical asset for McLaren, and if he is making this switch, he must actually want it. In the same breath, this has been happening forever, the best of the best continue to strive for better (at their own detriment)

I always say one thing you have to do when you are playing some of the best golf of your life at the age of 45 and you have a prime opportunity to win an elusive second major two weeks from now at a course you've won at before is to start playing new clubs made by a car brand

@GolfweekNichols @Chevron_Golf I’m so impressed with Asterk Tally!! As a teenage girl I can’t even imagine the pressure she was put under during the final round of the ANWA. It’s so crazy how the LPGA continues to see incredible teenage athletes!!

Three amateurs are currently in the top 20 of the @Chevron_Golf. T3 Farah O’Keefe T12 Yunseo Yang T20 Asterisk Talley

@KVanValkenburg Good use of the "lowkey". I have seen too many people butcher it as of late!

Jim getting another shot right about the time Patrick Reed will be in the mix again for a selection is low key funny.

@dylan_dethier The fact that Freddy hasn't gotten the call from the PGA of America yet is a true travesty... also if we are trying to revive this American team... shouldn't we bring back one of the best captains the US has had? That wrote a whole book on his experience? Jus saying

the U.S. Ryder Cup captaincy should be a two-person job: Fred Couples paired with the smartest data scientist you've never heard of. he'd trail about four feet behind Freddie at all times, maybe attached by a small rope
