Gyokeres header goal am I dreaming? What am I watching here?

I think two lessons from LIV will be ... 1. You can't solve time problems with money. It took 40 years of playing the Masters before people *really* started to care. You can't speed that up by signing big checks. You can't microwave history. 2. A modicum of humility goes a long way. Thumping your chest out of the gate and saying "we're gonna redefine a 200-year-old sport over the next few seasons" is not a good strategy. It might eventually be true (spoiler: it wasn't), but it does the opposite of what it probably feels like it's going to do. Most fans are smart, and immense hubris is rarely attractive in any business setting.

LIV plans to tell players and staff by Thursday that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund would end its funding for the upstart league. But the PGA Tour isn’t yet ready to welcome back those who jumped ship. on.wsj.com/3OVF13Z


Say what you want about the gold-leafed Donald Trump statue (fool's gold?) at Trump National Doral, but it's very on brand. Some funny anecdotes/player quotes from the range, where the statue is the talk of the tour: golfweek.usatoday.com/story/sports/g…
