Much has been written about the fate of LIV Golf over the last few weeks. But with the investment they’ve made in the Asian Tour, another big question is what the future holds for them. Flushing It Golf spoke with executives at LIV Golf Andalucia about their plans, and they are committed to utilising The International Series on the Asian Tour to help elevate national opens across the globe as LIV Golf 2.0 develops. In fact, several senior players even mentioned, unprompted, the importance of building it within the potential 2027 schedule. However, members on the Asian Tour admit although they are very happy with the success of the partnership so far, there were concerns when the LIV Golf backed purse increase of the Kolon Korean Open was pulled at the last minute, and they want options left open amid the uncertainty. Flushing It Golf reached out to the Asian Tour and they offered this official comment: “LIV Golf have been a terrific partner for the Asian Tour over the past five years – facilitating the creation of The International Series, which has been hugely successful. These premium events have added a new dimension to our tour, boasting world-class fields competing for elevated prizemoney at outstanding venues. In particular, the initiative has afforded us the opportunity to travel to exciting new markets in Africa, the Middle East and Europe. We look forward to seeing the remainder of The International Series events played out on the Asian Tour this season. “Our senior leadership are in constant dialogue with stakeholders and partners on how best to move forward and build on the successes over the past five years. We are very confident that solutions will be found that are in the best interests of our members and partners. They will pave the way for a strong schedule to be in place for 2027 and ensure long-term growth. “We look forward to providing updates over the next few months and we appreciate everyone’s patience as we navigate through to the next cycle.” The International Series are fantastic tournaments and have without question helped offer more opportunities for golf in the Asian Tour region. Several players, like Scott Vincent from Zimbabwe, have completely changed their life by qualifying for the LIV Golf League. And fans all across the globe have been able to see star players in the flesh. If LIV Golf is to succeed going forward, they desperately need authentic pathway systems to create and elevate their own stars. They simply cannot afford to buy them in anymore. The Asian Tour offers that, but LIV Golf are not the only tour interested in strengthening links with the region. In fact, Flushing It Golf understands the PGA Tour attempted to form a much closer relationship with the Asian Tour several years ago, with an offer made to create a formal partnership, but that was rejected by the board. A few years later, the Asian Tour then partnered with LIV Golf in a deal worth $300 million. It’s entirely possible though that the PGA Tour, along with the DP World Tour, will sense weakness and now look to make another approach to grow their global pathway system. This leaves the Asian Tour in a position where they have multiple options available. No matter what happens to their partnership with LIV Golf, the Asian Tour will be just fine. CEO and Commissioner Cho Minn Thant will continue to do whatever possible to elevate golf in the region and offer opportunities for professional golfers from all around the globe.

As many sources have already written, Russians began to use the Desertcross 1000-3 much more often on the front line. Now some tactics of their use by Russians in assaults have begun to become clear. A Russian unit consisting of 5-8 infantrymen on each “golf cart” moves to the frontline, after which they abandon the “golf cart” and are expected to take and hold positions. The 47th brigade shows the destruction of one such groups on the Avdiivka front: "Russian special forces that drove into Berdychi on a Chinese golf cart (no joke). At first, they even shot down our drone with an assault rifle. Then they used smoke cover, like in cool action movies, and ran to hide. Four hid in the remains of the building’s foundation, one lay down in the crater, and two hid under destroyed equipment.”

Kipp Popert will become the first ever golfer with cerebral palsy to compete in a full International Series event on the Asian Tour as he tees it up in the LINK Hong Kong Open tomorrow. “It means a lot. I am grateful to Hong Kong Golf Club for the invite. I want to achieve a lot in this game. I want to encourage the next generation of disabled golfers to dream big and provide them with opportunities that were not available to myself. The best way I can do that is by playing good golf - I’m excited to get to work.” Kipp won the DP World Tour’s G4D Tour Championship last week making history by winning 4 G4D events for the season. He also did a remarkable double to win the US Adaptive Open and The G4D Open which took his G4D major tally to 3, with 15 total wins in his short career. Having the opportunity to compete in this event alongside top stars like Justin Rose, Tom Kim, Patrick Reed and Martin Kaymer will be awesome for him. Kipp is taking G4D golf to new levels of performance and I’m looking forward to seeing how he gets on at Hong Kong Golf Club. Asian Tour International Series

Jim Furyk wasn't afraid to say the quiet part out loud Wednesday: that Ryder Cup USA has failed in many places in recent years. In his second captaincy, he wants to pave the path forward to make sure those shortcomings stop happening now and into the future. "There's a lot of different things we can talk about that with I think we can grow and get better at -- our logistic, our travel, our schedule. We can get into our pairings. It's no secret that foursomes has been a glaring problem. Our team play the last two Ryder Cups on Friday and Saturday, we've dug massive holes. But foursomes is the glaring problem. "I think there's a lot of stones to be unturned, our analytics, and just how we grow and how we evolve in all those areas. This is something that I quite honestly have been thinking about for years because I've been involved with so many teams."

Golfers... You have to be very careful when listening to tour players talk about their own feels & what they do during the golf swing Don't get me wrong, some are VERY good at explaining in detail what they are doing & feeling, but some don't actually have a clue. They are just VERY GOOD at golf & don't really know how they do it. This is a prime example where Tiger is saying he's not a "Spot Chipper", then on another video he says he likes hitting to a "Spot" So which one is it? Remember, these guys are ELITE at playing the game of golf & getting the ball in the hole in less shots than everyone else They are not always the best at accuratly articulating what they are really trying to do There was a video of Tiger a while back where he was saying the club head moves first in the golf swing... No it doesn't. There's a pressure shift into the trail side first... Tiger won with 4 different swings. He's just THAT GOOD We as coaches are the ones who explain things better than a tour pro. The tour pros job is to shoot low scores

Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, Fred Ridley, delivered an impressive press conference yesterday. The most striking part was his firm assessment on the golf ball rollback debate. In his opening remarks, he said: “Finally, I've commented for the past several years on the subject of distance. We have been consistent in our support of the governing bodies in their effort to regulate the distance elite players are hitting the golf ball. Recognizing that the implementation of the Overall Distance Standard test for golf balls may be delayed to 2030, I want to reemphasize that support and affirm our position as the USGA and R&A represent their collective obligation as custodians of the game. “I also want to be clear that our position is grounded on much more than protecting the Augusta National golf course. We will continue to make modifications as are necessary to react to driving distances that in some cases exceed 350 yards. “Unfortunately, many courses, including some iconic venues, do not have that option. Until recent years golf has been a game of imagination, creativity, and variety. The game has become much more one-dimensional. As players drive the ball prodigious distances and routinely hit short irons into par-4s and even some par-5s, this issue goes beyond competitive impacts. Increased course lengths results in more time, more cost, and more environmental concerns. “The data that has been shared with all stakeholders makes one thing clear: The impact to the recreational game will be immaterial. All of us in this room and millions of weekend golfers around the world will be hard-pressed to notice the effects of this change, and I do not believe our enjoyment of the game will be affected. “As for professional golf, we hold firm in our belief that the greats of the game are defined not merely by how far they hit the ball, but their extraordinary skill in all aspects of the game. Their ability to shape shots, to take on risk, and to execute under pressure is at the heart of championship golf and is best displayed through a full spectrum of shot-making opportunities. “Regulation of the golf ball is not an attempt to turn back time or stifle progress. It is an effort to preserve the essence of what makes golf the great game that it is.” Later in the press conference when asked about the role of the Masters in the roll back, he said: “There has been -- there's always been quite a lot of agreement. My feeling on this subject is failure's not an option. I think we need to continue to work together to come to some agreement. “Tough issues like this require compromise, and I think there has been some compromise to date. There's certainly commercial interests that are at play here, and we all know what those are, but at the same time, I think, if we can look at this from the standpoint -- and it's not just trying to -- it's not the good old days. That's not what we're trying to do. “What we're trying to do is to protect the integrity of what makes golf so great. I think I tried to articulate it in my comments, and that's that it's more than about just hitting prodigious drives. “I talked to Jackson Herrington, one of our young amateurs, and he told me that yesterday he hit it over the bunker on 1 and 5, which is about a 325-yard carry, and one was into the wind. I've said that we can make changes, but there's not much we can do to make changes, number one, unless we tear down the Eisenhower Cabin, and we're not going to do that. “We'll make changes when we can, but I think it's time to really address this issue. It's been talked about for a long time.” Whatever your stance on the rollback, these are the strongest comments yet. “Failure is not an option.” The Masters

My read on how A.I. companies view revenue sharing with publishers: - Some just want our businesses to die. - Some don’t want the hassle of dealing with us. - Some want to pay us, but they don’t want to be the only ones. We need to find a way to get all of them on board. It wouldn’t just be the right thing to do—it would be good business. YouTube did this years ago. The platform is now worth half a trillion dollars. I had a riveting chat with Bill Gross about how to fix A.I.’s fairness problem. Listen to our full convo here: Produced by Atlantic Re:think, The Atlantic's creative marketing studio, in collaboration with PwC.
