Today we launched Chisos Golf. We're turning professional golf into an investable asset class. Here's why this matters now.

ICYMI I wrote about @wdstringer's new Chisos Golf fund for @acaseofthegolf1- Monday Q Info. Your $50/year helps Monday Q tell important golf stories like this one and last week's Korean Conflict "A Mulligan That Wasn't" - an instant classic. mondayq.com/story/raising-…

@Ron2103310 @acaseofthegolf1 @laz_versalles Thank you 🙏

@wdstringer @acaseofthegolf1 @laz_versalles Went to your site...It looks very interesting... Different than what's out there. Wish you the best.... like to see the signings and progress in the future!

Money, or lack of it is often the reason pro golfers careers end. A new company is looking to change that. But how does it work, is it legit, and who is behind it. @laz_versalles writes about the $25 million a Company is betting on golf. mondayq.com/story/raising-…

@timmmess @acaseofthegolf1 @markbaldwin1 @laz_versalles Other people know way better than me, but from what I’ve seen NIL doesn’t move the needle for 99% of golfers.

@acaseofthegolf1 @markbaldwin1 @laz_versalles This is really interesting. I wonder what will become the predominant path to pro golf? NIL money in college or private investment?

@brucekenerson1 @acaseofthegolf1 @laz_versalles Seems to be a very common occurrence

@acaseofthegolf1 @laz_versalles Use to caddy some for a guy named John Hurley. Won a Natty at Texas A&M. Longest and one of the most talented golfers that I have ever seen. Could have made it if he had more money……. Makes me sad.

@Ron2103310 @acaseofthegolf1 @laz_versalles Lots of hard work ahead to prove ourselves

@Ron2103310 @acaseofthegolf1 @laz_versalles We’re not that typical 🏌️

Perfect example of the mini tour grind: I just finished 9th out of 168 players at the SoCal Open. Entry fee was $800. My pay check was $843 for a $43 profit… Take out expenses: -Airbnb: $500 -Food: $140 -Gas: $120 -Practice round: $150 -Yardage book: $35 Total: $945. Winnings ($43) - Expenses ($945)= -$902. Not the best week in the end 🤦🏼‍♂️ #Playbetter

There’s a putt on Friday afternoon that nobody talks about. It’s not for a trophy. It’s not on TV. It’s the putt to make the cut. Make it: you earn $4,000 and get to play the weekend. Miss it: you earn $0 and still owe $5,000 for the week. That’s the math running through a Korn Ferry player’s head on every green.

Brooks Koepka on his early career: “When I got started, I didn’t have any money. I didn’t have anything. You’re trying to pay for the flight for next week.” That’s one of the best players in the world. Imagine what it’s like for the 150th-ranked guy on the Korn Ferry Tour.

A Korn Ferry Tour player made $255,000 last year. Sounds great until you see the bill: $58K — caddie $28K — hotels (26 weeks on the road) $17K — flights $13K — food $5K — coaches $5K — rental cars $5K — entry fees Take-home after a full season: ~$104K. Before taxes. That’s the reality no one talks about. (h/t @_james_nicholas)

@RetroGolfGame It all looks hard to me ⛳️

@wdstringer Harbour Town is one of those places that looks easy on tv and immediately humbles you. enjoy it

Heading to Hilton Head tomorrow for RBC Heritage week. Hosting investors, getting on the simulators, and talking about what we're building with the Chisos Golf Fund. If you're in town, let me know. Would love to connect.

@KevinNewmanYO @flushingitgolf @ChisosGolf Woah that’s wild

@flushingitgolf @wdstringer first @ChisosGolf acquisition?

Ryan French from Monday Q Info reports that LIV Golf is about to shut down. Speaking on X Spaces last night, Ryan said: “I think everybody should probably stay near their phones… “I have some pretty good sources and I’ve heard that some other people have sources that LIV is shutting down.” Later on in the episode, he said: “I’ve got everything from, and these are people that I trust, that you guys know. Players didn’t get paid today, power went out because the bill wasn’t paid, employees didn’t get paid. Stuff like that. “There is definitely a lot going on… Things are not good.” Ryan is very well connected and respected in the professional golf world. He would not be saying this unless he was certain something was coming. Expect this story to move fast. @acaseofthegolf1

@kitun @nostrokespod You going to Hilton Head?

Who ya got? @nostrokespod coming in hot tomorrow 🔥💰🏌️

The LIV vs PGA drama isn't really about golf. It's about capital entering the system. And once capital flows in, asset classes tend to form. We're building for what comes next @ChisosGolf

Great few days at Augusta. The energy around professional golf right now is unlike anything I've seen. New capital, new business models, new opportunities. The sport is evolving fast. If you're paying attention, there's a lot to be excited about.

Betting on a single golfer is like betting on a single startup. High upside. High chance of zero. The interesting question is: what does a portfolio of golfers look like? @ChisosGolf

If you could invest in a golfer at age 23, what would you actually look at? Talent? Consistency? Injury risk? Earning trajectory? Underwriting talent is closer to venture than most people think. Except we've done it 105+ times @ChisosCapital. That's the dataset we're building from.

@kitun Love it. Let’s talk. DM

@wdstringer Collab??? Just launched a new golf pod?

Today we launched Chisos Golf. We're turning professional golf into an investable asset class. Here's why this matters now.
