I love (almost) everything about this team. They tapped every hot name on the Tour right now with Wyndham, Ludvig, and Min Woo. And the addition of Shane Lowry is all-time veteran vibes move and rounds out the roster to be more than just a collection of the "next best things."
LIV makin' more moves
TRUE STADIUM GOLF

Greg Norman recently gave an interview with Bloomberg where he outlined a very interesting new wrinkle that LIV is considering adding to its portfolio—home courses.
"Man United owns their stadium. Indian Premier League, they own their stadiums. NFL, they own their stadiums. Think about LIV owning all their own golf courses, each team having a home venue and they host."
This brings back up all the great feelings people have around the Ryder Cup in that each side gets the opportunity to host the event on their home turf. The crowds are friendly and raucous. The home team can strategize how to set the course up to favor its team. And as easy as it is to look down on LIV for having poor TV ratings and relatively low stakes golf... I am absolutely in love with this idea.
"It's not just a golf course. You bring in education, you bring in hospitality, you bring in real estate, you bring in merchandise, you bring in management, you bring in all these other different opportunities that the game of golf has to deliver to a community, to a region."
The LA Golf Club team from the TGL has been doing something similar to this in terms of community outreach as they're renovating some local public courses in the Los Angeles area. But what Norman is suggesting seems to go even farther as I now imagine what it would have meant to me as a kid to play basketball at a Bulls camp in the United Center. You could really create a whole culture around your team by way of designing an on-course experience and programming to match.
Do I still think the LIV will be a relatively short-lived blip in golf history? Yes. But I'll admit that I've come completely around on some of the tactical ideas they've introduced to the game and have enjoyed seeing the innovative chances they're taking.
The day when we'll all be living inside of video games is nearing...
GTA IS COMING FOR MADDEN AND 2K

A huge video game leak this week was around the new Grand Theft Auto which will reportedly feature basketball, football and tennis as part of the online gameplay.
Some further digging on a GTA6Countdown account on X revealed the following list of other sports that are rumored to be in the new GTA:
- Bowling
- Wrestling
- Racing (duh)
- Fishing/hunting
- Shooting range (duh)
- Surfing
And... GOLF.
That's right. So you could go steal a Lambo, blow up a warehouse, drag race your stolen Lambo—and then sneak in a quick 18.
I can't wait for the day Jack can play video games so then I can play video games and see how incredible all these mega-world titles actually are. Until then... I just read gamer leaks on X and dream.
Hate Tom Brady—but that was a good roast.
IS TIGER NEXT??

I was absolutely SUCKERED into the fake news cycle when the image above came across my social feeds. (Note to society—just check your source. Literally any source.)
In reality, I can't find any reputable site that can actually report Tiger Woods is close to doing a Netflix roast.
All I found was a website called Sportscasting.com that said Tiger is now the odds-on favorite at +200 to be the next roastee. The catch? THEY CREATED THE F@**^#& ODDS.
Everything is made up and nothing matters.
But it does bring up a good point in that the list of people who could even consider competing with the Tom Brady roast is crazy small. Mega-athletes and cultural icons whose personality is so clear in society that anyone, anywhere could at least attempt a joke of their own.
CBS Sports did a rundown of nine potential candidates and the only ones I agreed with were MJ, Tiger, and (maybe) Charles Barkley.
Given enough time, I think there'd be some pretty killer content around how Tiger dressed up as Batman and went to ComicCon—among (many) other things.
