@AaronQuinn716 @LarryLewisSays What is representative of the avg American? Most universal access is soccer bball or baseball. But pro sports are getting dominated by euros in bball and smaller countries in baseball. Nobody in soccer. The avg American is playing video games.

@LarryLewisSays Correct, golf is a sport that requires access and it's not representative of the average American.

Look, I love Cam Young's game, and he seems like a good guy. Cam Young was born on 2nd. The son of a club pro in one of the best courses on the East Coast. He had every opportunity and resource available to him to go do this. Something that is available to about .5% of golfers on the planet.

@ProGolfCritic This is a ridiculous statement. All pro sports have a <1% chance. It’s all risk. It’s not a legitimate career field. Any NFL player avg career less than 3 years. If you don’t prepare for not making it it’s a fools errand. If you are lucky you make millions for playing a game

I hate to kill Bambi again, but pro golf (for the most part) is a debt producing business that most should not pursue. Most players that make it are well-financed or you’re indebted to someone rich that doesn’t mind the risk of losing money (see Tony Finau), but they also own a part of you. That is professional golf (particularly in 🇺🇸). It shouldn’t be this way, but it is. Meritocracy though. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@LindyTasteful Comparing current fatherhood to a unique time time in human history when there was peak industrialization and the creation of suburbs which required long commutes and working far from home probably is going to show that was also peak time dad wasn’t around the house.

Fatherhood is probably more essential now that societal norms have shift. If there's no strong presence guiding the way your kid can really fall into a lot of weird rabbit holes now.

@DJMC25 @LukeKerrDineen I wonder what kind of results they are getting teaching from a 3d image. Doe the fix translate on course? A computer swing and on course is very different.

@Micro_Casting @LukeKerrDineen I think LKD will listen to the TPI guys here. Just a hunch

About to go hard on fixing my early extension after my TPI visit.

@ProGolfCritic @livgolf_league It’s only commercial free b/c it was subsidized. That’s no longer the case.

1️⃣Commercial free app. 2️⃣I know who’s playing every event. 3️⃣ I can watch every shot from all my fave players. Simple, easy to understand & irrefutable. You can ask any @livgolf_league fan & they can give you 3 faster than you can breathe. Passion & reasoning. PGAT fans struggle.

@drakesmith__ At the club I worked at we had mondays to play. Occasionally. But we couldn’t go inside.

I won't out the course but here is aspect of Country Clubs that I think needs to change. I had a player playing in the US Amateur. We hired the clubs best caddie to help us navigate the course in practice rounds. Guy was great. With our USGA credentials on first day at the club we asked him after the round if he would like to join us for lunch. He couldn't, he wasn't allowed in the clubhouse and we were able to go in and out freely. I hate this about higher end golf. Good caddies are assets and should be treated as such. Please retweet this if you agree.

@flushingitgolf @brysondech @Crushers_GC @livgolf_league Didn’t he say he wasn’t leaving the pgat and then left?

Bryson DeChambeau has been the face of LIV Golf since joining in 2022. He regularly faces media and has been the most outspoken player in regard to how much he believes in the product. Now with reports that the PIF are cutting funding at the end of the 2026 season, how committed is he? Speaking to Flushing It Golf after LIV Golf Mexico City, Bryson said: “There's a lot of moving parts like in any business. It’s a startup, right? And so there's going to be times where we're squeezed and punched. This is one of those moments. But I'm going to do everything in my power to make it work and I really see the value in franchise golf. “And, you know, another reason why I'm doing this is not just for myself and the team aspect that I really believe in on the Crushers side. It's for Michael LaSasso. It's for Caleb Surratt. It's for Josele Ballester. It's for David Puig. “Jon, Phil, DJ, myself and the guys that have been here from the start, we’re okay. It’s now our responsibility to take care of these kids that believe in us. That’s why I'm really doing it. There's so much value to squeeze out of this whole thing for golf in general.” LIV Golf has been well funded since inception. Spending enormous amounts of money to sign players to upfront contracts, hosting lavish parties, having massive build outs and offering the largest event to event purses in the sport. But now the blank cheques are coming to an end, things clearly need to change. After reaching out directly to officials familiar with this aspect of the league, they insist they are focused on securing more income and funding, rather than cuts, and appear bullish with how that is trending. League sources say they’ve doubled revenue in 2025 from the previous year and have added more than $100 million already in the 2026 season through the first 5 events. 10 franchises will be profitable, as well as 4 events, and their ticket sales are up over 130% year over year. CEO Scott O’Neil said on last week’s broadcast, “we have never been in a better position.” If outside investment comes in, particularly to the franchises, as a byproduct it will help address the obvious issue of having one owner for all of the teams. The competitive aspect of the league has been flawed since the start, with more focus on building brands than the actual performances on the golf course. Results will suddenly matter more than they ever have. “I think that’s the best part of it,” Bryson said. “In my opinion, it’s not just some gimmick, it’s like, okay, we’re here to be competitive.” No matter how much the revenue increases, a sports league is not sustainable without star players. Bryson DeChambeau is the definition of that. With his current contract up at the end of this year, how are his negotiations going for a renewal? “We're still working on a potential contract. I haven’t given up on that and I think there will be a solution. But as of right now, my job is to help make the league work after this year. I just feel like I have a responsibility. I've put a lot of effort into it. So that’s what I’m going to do, we’re going to make this work.” When asked what happens if they can’t make it work, he doubled down: “As long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense.” There’s been much speculation about Bryson DeChambeau’s future over the last few months, and now you have it from the man himself. Pay attention to those who widely shared “reports” of Bryson looking for options outside of LIV Golf but don’t aggregate these quotes. They are not trustworthy news sources. @brysondech @Crushers_GC @livgolf_league

@ShaneRyanHere I guess you don’t follow the splc. Bold outside the box thinking.

Nicely done, Virginia! Seeing Dems do something that aggressive warms the heart.

@JosephLaMagna @fried_egg_golf How can Aberg be complete?

Updated Best Golfers in the World

@TheGhostofhogan So LIV and TGL are on the same level. Got it

Remember the outrage when Pat Perez was winning money on Liv team & ppl said he didn’t deserve it & wasn’t a good player That’s Kevin Kisner on this TGL deal. Talk about a guy who’s become completely irrelevant on the golf course.

@ProGolfCritic @livgolf_league Liv stinks. Terrible product. No relegation. They would be better as an open tour with no contracts. Limited field events for $100 mil prize purse. They would save a lot of money and it would be interesting. DJ is checked out. Ak is not long term. It’s a dead tour for retirees.

We just have to be honest here: 4.5 of these 6 things are ones that have been a focus of @livgolf_league from Day 1. Now they’re PGAT agenda items. I know ppl are tired of me saying it, but I will never stop talking about it until there is some level of acknowledgement by the @PGATOUR & the golf establishment of this fact. Non-negotiable.

@jemelehill The irony of jemelle being a multi millionaire, from a business she says should not be for profit is quite amazing. She wants billionaires to subsidize her millions to yell and accuse people who make thousands. Quite a business model

Respectfully Darren, you’ve lost the plot. Journalism was never supposed to be a for-profit business, but a public good. And when it shifted to a purely capitalistic model, it compromised the very integrity it was built on. Surely you’re not naive enough to understand why many see Jeff Bezos gutting the Post as politically motivated — especially in light of his relationship to this administration. He’s deeply compromised. Beyond that, there’s no question that journalism has to adapt to the times — but that adaptation doesn’t have to come at the expense of thoughtful coverage. You meet the audience where they are, but you also give them what they don’t know they need. They need storytelling, depth, context and insight. The audience still responds to those things and that will always be in demand.

@flushingitgolf @JonRahmOfficial @livgolf_league Between Rahm playing hard ball with the euro tour or his pushing his league to be a mirror image of the other two. When does he look in the mirror. You took money to go to a tour that said they want to be different. And now you complain about it being different Take your medicine

Jon Rahm gave some very interesting thoughts to the OWGR decision to award the LIV Golf League limited world ranking points: “Yeah, it's fantastic that we're getting points. It's fantastic that we're being recognised in a way. “With that said, I don't like how we're not being treated the same as every other tour. It seems like the rules that have been in place aren’t really applied to us, with only 10 of us getting points. It doesn't seem fair. There are small fields out there throughout the course of the year that get full points. Or full players get points, right? So, there’s work to be done. There's work to be done. “While it's good for some people. It could cost some players to actually lose world ranking points, instead of gain them. Because finishing in 11th is basically a missed cut and we're already adding to the devisor. “But I'm thankful that LIV golf got their foot on the door, and there's a possibility for us to walk in the room and be recognised as as a tour, as we should be.” @JonRahmOfficial @livgolf_league

@ProGolfCritic @PGATOUR Gotten up is the same age as Ludvig. Why isn’t he included in this list of ascending talent?

For all of the media hype about Ludvig & Clanton they’ve underachieved the past year. McKibbin, Puig, Ballester have ascended partly bc of the structure & comfort LIV provides to foster growth. You don’t need the @PGATOUR to reach your potential in golf. That’s what scares them.

@funnydanny Who’s voltron?

Every coach who’s been somewhere for years turning in mediocre or worse results should be on notice. Excuses are over. No 5 stars. An absolute Voltron after forming the Blazing Sword.

@BenStandig Idc all I want is grass. I hate seeing them play on artificial turf

The Commanders hired the same architect for RFK2 that designed US Bank Stadium. The translucent roof and glass walls help create the outdoor feel.

@MattVincenziPGA The grass league is everything LIV wants to be. Fun engaging different. LIV can’t do that because the players are competing majors and that’s the point of the that professional golf. These guys play for the love of the game. Not money.

Nobody wants to watch the Grass League, switch to the Australian Open.

@grantpaulsen Terrible take. It raises the stakes. You want a participation trophy. Bad stuff happening on high stakes plays is actually fun to watch.

I am not thankful for the worst rule in sports. Losing possession while scoring should not result in another team getting the ball and a fifth of the field in field position.
