Koepka applies for reinstatement to the PGA tour.
Damn. A large amount of forfeited equity. I doubt he will have to eat Ramen.
On the plus side for LIV, Anthony Kim qualified.
Nice middle finger to Reed and Phil. Seems like it only applies to Koepka, Rahm, Bryson, and Cam Smith.
Buried deep in the press releases was the idea that the powers that be are interested in what will make the tour better. If they mean that, you have your answer.

It's always a good time to give those guys the finger - especially Phil.
Blades Brown. Kudos to the parents to have the foresight to name their future prodigy Blades.

I'm just pissed that naming my son Birdie did not result in golfing greatness for him. Shoulda gone with Eagle!
Bummer. I was hoping Reed (and his wife) found a nice home at LIV.

Jay Monahan took a lot of heat when LIV first hit the scene. In retrospect, he handled this correctly. LIV was always going to burn out if the Tour held steady and played it cool.
Who's else is angling to return? Laughing at Bryson right now. Oh well!
Damn. Was hoping LIV would keep Reed. Ah, well. Rat found a life boat.

I think his big mistake was going down the path of merging with LIV after treating them like the villain.

I don't think that was him. I believe it was others on the board that lost their nerve. Never came to fruition either.
Whoever yelled as Hideki was getting ready to putt on 18 needs to be found. Absolutely pathetic.
Doubling down on a-hole behavior on the first playoff hole. I wish I was surprised and shocked. But a-hole behavior is now the norm in so many venues.
First step, time to ban alcohol sales at sporting events. Second, ban instant betting. Shameful.
Let's hope Scottie has an alibi.

Is this a warning to Perkin's waitresses?
Tuesday evening as I ate dinner at the bar, I was watching him play on ESPN in some e-golf 3-person team league. I don't think he looks good.

Why is he not in jail yet? He shouldn't have a drivers license and should be spending considerable time in jail.
Maybe it's time for him to give up golfing professionally. Obviously cannot handle having pain pills he gets from all the surgeries trying to be able to golf.
I hope he can be honest with himself and ask for and receive the help he needs.
No Phil at the Masters either. I hope he can be honest with himself and get the help he needs.

FIGJAM is making a killing on insider trading, so why bother with golf

Still insane to think what odds you would have had to have been given in order to bet in 2008, when Tiger won the US Open at 33 for his 14th major, that over the next 15+ years, Phil would win 3x as many majors as Tiger. And if not for the 2019 miracle at Augusta and a major Phil choke at another US Open in 2013, it could very well have been 4-nil to Phil.

And also one of the most likable, gregarious, and fun loving guys to ever swing a club on tour.
DUIs are horrible and never excusable, but it's amusing to look at differences in the substance issues of a personality like Daly versus the substance issues of more cantankerous dickheads like Tiger and DJ.
And to Daly's credit, he's been sober for almost 20 years since the drunken Hooters incident in his early 40s (at the very least had no public issues with alcohol since) whereas Tiger is a 50 year old billionaire still flipping cars in the middle of the day.
Also reminds me of my favorite largely forgotten Daly anecdote...the year before Daly made the tour (and also won the PGA) a 23 year old, still prime Arkansas hick very alcoholic Daly, in his blond mulleted glory, went to Africa and in the span of 2 weeks won tournaments in South Africa and, even more hilarious, Eswatini (then still Swaziland).

I agree with all of this. I always root for Daly.

Like Ryan Leaf, I admire Daly for taking ownership of his problems and not running from them. Unfortunately, Tiger has been coddled and protected his entire life, and has such a massive ego that he'll never do that.
A coworker was on a flight from Chicago to Winston-Salem about 20 years ago and got chatting to the woman in the seat next to him. Turns out she was John Dalys wife at the time. She kept buying him drinks the whole flight and introduced him to John who was waiting at security. My coworker said they talked about golf while waiting at the baggage claim and and he was just a nice guy.

Who's going to tell DJ? Pretty sure he's got no clue what's happening.
Looking forward to seeing how Bryson tries to "sell" his time at LIV. You know he's going to big brain this at the upcoming majors with the Tour media.

If they don't fold up shop, with the defection of their stars, there is opportunity for scoop golfers to get in on the Saudi largesse.
