LiV golfers banned from the Scottish Open.

The Scottish Open is now a co-sanctioned event between the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. So, not a surprise.

Well, that should kill LIV. Or that and a ban from the John Deere.

I wonder how much the Saudi's offered this guy.    Also, where he did it, he did not finish in the dark.    The sun does not go down that close to Lake Michigan until almost 10.

You know anything about the course?  I feel like its 4500 yards long

JWags loving MBS is the least surprising development in Scoop history.

Wags neither said nor suggested he "loves" MBS.

Wags does tend to try to play everything down the middle (and somewhat right-ish), so he can be guilty of false equivalence at times. But your characterization here is inaccurate and unfair.

I've been offered tickets to the LIV event in Oregon. I've played the course too. I'm curious about it, but some members have quit over them holding it there, one the brother of a friend. It's a major controversy out here.  It's far enough outside of Portland protests shouldn't be an issue, but I do wonder how many will actually pay $70 to go. Next weekend will be interesting.

6100.    It isn't Oakmont or Whistling Straits.    55 is still 55.

Phff! I've shot 55 plenty of times.  Sometimes twice in one round.

I wouldn't go to that lower-rung exhibition match if they paid me $70.

I'm more curious about what the environment is going to be than the golf itself.

True, that could be interesting. I'll read about it after the exhibition's over.

I'll probably likely go to Rich Harvest Farms for the LIV event.

Eh, it doesn't bother me.

I've played in events with this guy along with some other Milwaukee county legends.  One of the best to ever tee it up from Wisconsin

I did as well and big thrill of mine. Great guy and I looked up to him when I played tournaments with him. He and Mark Bemowski were my gold standard and I was lucky enough to play with Mark dozens of times.

I never played with him but played in outings with Vern Kappes and Gene Haas.  That's an era of Wisconsin golf that's dusappearing.  It's sort of interesting how it's changed and less prominent players come out of the public links system.  Archie could have probably played on tour but a freak injury ended that chance

Randomly got paired with him on a Sunday two, maybe three years ago. What a great guy, never once mentioned his bonafides or made himself to be a big deal until I googled him later.

He wanted to exchange numbers after the round and he called the next time he was in the area to see if I wanted to play again.

Tremendous article. Thanks for posting.  Rooting hard for Archie.

That's an awesome story.  I got to hear him tell tales a few years back after an outing at Wanaki

Let me recommend following Gary D'Amato, Dennis McCann and Rob Hernandez at WisconsinGolf.com.  They do a great job covering golf across the state at all levels

Absolutely brutal loss for Lexi Thompson. Those gag chippie putts are crazy.  I can't remember someone missing the entire hole dead left on a two footer.

Couldn't happen to a better person

The painful part is expecting it to happen.

I don't know anything about her personally.
