Reporter asks Jon Rahm if returning to the PGA Tour this week finally brings him some ‘peace,’ away from that LIV GOLF music apocalypse. 🙄 Rahm, calmly torches the narrative: “I’m quite peaceful on LIV actually. The music is louder on TV than it is on the course... If I’m being honest about LIV, it’s a really good atmosphere and vibe and quite a lot of happiness.” Always fascinating how these questions get framed. 😌🎶

Rory McIlroy, the gaffe machine strikes again. Disses the Renaissance Club as if it's a LIV Golf venue, admitting the Scottish Open host was "meh when compared to Scotland’s true greats" but “it's kinda grown on him” Just brutal slop. The kind of testimonial courses plaster on brochures, right next to “decent — once you get used to it." RORS, the PGA TOUR legend… at accidental word salad burns. 🔥😂

🚨5 ALARM LIBEL: Alan Shipnuck, author of LIV & Let Die, just defended his Skratch-published (powered by the PGA Tour) hit piece on Mickelson as a “public service,” insinuating (👀) Phil could be the next “JEFFREY EPSTEIN — who needs to be stopped.” I mean… nothing says serious journalism like equating alleged drunken + cringey + crude club antics to running an international underage sex trafficking ring.🤦♂️ Truly libelous nonsense.💰

Brooks Koepka, the gold standard of loyalty and grace. Asked about his former LIV Golf mates checking in, says, “Changed my number.. which is a good thing.” Then throws shade at the league that paid him $100M+ for skimping on player perks (or “access to stuff”). Class act. Pure elegance. 🙄💰 #LIVGolf #PGATour

🔥 Jon Rahm politely torches the golf media’s circle jerk of anti-LIV narratives: “As LIV players, we hear a lot from articles & social media…” but Sunday battling Scottie, the crowd’s love proved the media’s MANUFACTURED HATE only exists in their little echo chamber. The golf media bubble is not real life: Fans cheer the star, not the pundits’ fantasy. #PGAChampionship #LIVGolf #PGATOUR

Rory McIlroy, the tone-deaf legend.😂 FedEx has dumped over $1B sponsoring the PGA Tour, and Rory casually dismisses importance of Tour’s flagship event🏆: ‘I’ll pick and choose my spots… Does it make winning the FedEx Cup (or whatever it’s gonna be called) harder. Absolutely. But I’m ok with that.’🤦♂️ Sponsor gratitude at its absolute peak. (LIV Golf spared this time.)

Johnson Wagner d!ck rode Bryson’s clutch U.S. Open bunker shot to a new PGA TOUR ON CBS contract. So, lasting appreciation and or respect for BD, right? Nah! “Think Bryson’s gonna be TERRIBLE at Birkdale. Proven to me he can’t flight the ball.”👀 THIS clown-level 🤡 analysis of a top-10 betting favorite, and one of world’s most talented players, says a lot more about Wagner as a person than DeChambeau as a contender. IRL: Bryson is 28-1 (8th best odds to win). He has two top 10s in last 4 British Open starts. LIV Golf Lesson: Never ever trust the corrupt golf media.

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp on the Dan Patrick Show: “I think LIV got it right — they pushed the PGA Tour to get better… Golf had their AFL-NFL moment they just had it late.” EXCEPT: The NFL got better by merging AFL stars w NFL stars. Not banning the likes of Joe Namath. #LIVGolf #PGATOUR

LOST PLOT: Brandel Chamblee suggests the Brooks Koepka $5M struggle session is too lenient for Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau (both top-4 betting favs for each of the remaining 2026 majors). The LIV Golf critic wants the two-time major champs sent to Q School (if the pair ever wants back on Tour) 🤨👌 #PGATour #LIVGolf via Dan Patrick show

Appearing on Fried Egg, Golf Digest’s Jaime Diaz w some elite level nonsense: ‘Rahm made a big mistake… lost his edge… big career gap… predictable fall off... lost years he'll never get back🤦♂️’ Bro is book-reporting the wrong book. 🤡 LIV GOLF: 35 starts: 32 top-10s, 4 wins, 8 runner-ups. 2024 & 2025 season-long pts champion and money list winner. Those aren't lost years. It's an historically great run. Don't care if you're playing the PGA or a 9 hole beer league. MAJORS: 9 starts, 5 top-15s, 4 top-10s (better than 98% of PGAT in same timespan). So-called 'GAP’ in Rahm’s major resumé is actually 2022 (w PGA Tour). WORLD RANKING: Left PGAT ranked No.3 w Data Golf. Currently sits No.3. All-world consistency! RYDER CUP: Rahm was a captains pick for team Europe. More career highlights for the so-called lost years 😂. EARNINGS: Rahm won LIV Golf's money titles in both 2024 and 2025. He leads the money race in 2026 as well. This is above and beyond the record setting contract he signed in late 2023 to join LIV Golf. In the end, after 3 seasons on the breakaway tour, Rahm will have earned nearly $500m, not including money earned via sponsors, majors, or European tour winnings — creating generational wealth for his family. And he’s just 31. Imagine calling this a “mistake!?” 🤡 It’s lol cope!

On 5 Clubs, Golf Channel’s Dr. Damon Hack, noted for his reliably fair and balanced LIV Golf analysis 😂, diagnosed Bryson DeChambeau as “lost,” “mentally not there,” w “a raging mind” 🙄 DeChambeau, meanwhile, has 2 LIV wins this season, finished 3rd in Virginia, ranks 2nd in the league behind only Rahm, and has posted more top-10s over the last 8 majors than everyone on PGA Tour except Xander and Scottie. Always count on a measured take from Eamon Lynch’s 🍻sidekick #PGATOUR #LIVGOLF
