Justin Thomas: “We lost a lot of that with the LIV guys. If they return, we’ll get it back.” • The words you’re looking for JT? Box-office star power.🌟 • LIV Golf didn’t just sign players. It signed the alphas, needle-movers and electric personalities.⚡️Brooks, Bryson, Reed, Rahm, Bubba, Sergio, DJ, etc. • Turns out talent can be replaced. Charisma is harder. • Exactly why the OWGR has done what it’s done the last 4 years. The 💤Tour💤 badly needs them back. via We Need a 4th podcast

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. 😌🎶

Another week, another FUNERAL for a LONGTIME PGA Tour sponsor.⚰️ Scottie Scheffler: “sad that the FedEx St. Jude will be gone in 2028.” At this rate, the Tour’s schedule announcement is going to come with an obituary section.🗞️ BTW: The media might wanna take a break from its LIV Golf cope and check up on that so-called “unprecedented momentum” in Ponte Vedra.

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

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. 🔥😂

🔥 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.)

Rory McIlroy with a masterclass in double-talk. 😵💫 Last month: “Why should I care about the opening leg of the playoffs?” Today in Memphis: “It’s important that we’re all here — it’s the PGA Tour’s playoffs.”😆 Nothing like a quick chat with Brian Rolapp to suddenly discover your commitment to the FedEx St. Jude Championship.🤡

🚨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.💰

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

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

CBS’ Johnson Wagner, the human embodiment of a melted milkshake, boldly declared Bryson DeChambeau would be ‘terrible’ at Birkdale and miss the cut! Yet, Bryson made the cut, and sat solo 2nd before the PGA TOUR/R&A’s rug pull. Instead of humble pie, the Super Mario Bros doppleganger calls the LIV star DISGRACEFUL. Peak smug spin.🤡⛳

Shipnuck on Skratch (PGA TOUR): “A Bryson DeChambeau book? Nah, he’s an as*hole, no depth, hard to sell.”👀 The LIV star who just owned the BRITISH OPEN stage—main player before, during, after!? Box office gold, #1 YouTube!? But yeah, “no one likes him”😵💫 The cope in blurry LOW RES potato-vision tho is top-tier.😂

At The Open on Skysports, Nick Faldo spouts next-level gibberish (in short): “Bryson DeChambeau is a LIV Golf-invented superstar who can’t compete in the majors.” 🤦♂️ Talk about straight-up delusional nonsense‼️ Since joining LIV in ‘22 (incl ‘26 season w 3 cuts): 17 major starts, 8 top 10s (47% clip) — U.S. Open W🏆 + 2 runner-ups🥈. More top 10s than 97% of PGA Tour players in same timespan. IRL: Bryson is box office gold. Faldo — even w 6 majors — was a box office bore 🥱 and just a nasty person, on and off the course.

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.

Source: PGA Tour CEO “thinking about” making Rahm & DeChambeau grovel like Koepka? Think again! CEO Brian Rolapp casually admitted that the Tour is “thinking about” creating a return path for Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau — the same soul-crushing, fine-heavy humiliation special they served up to Brooks Koepka. “The chutzpah of the Tour,” said a source close to the players, laughing in disbelief. “To believe that Jon or Bryson would ever pay the PGA Tour $5m AND be DQ’d from the signature events is beyond absurd. It’s pure delusion — the PGA Tour needs a reality check.” #LIVGolf #PGATour
