Rory McIlroy thinks Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton should pay $6 million in DP World Tour fines to play in the next Ryder Cup. One of the biggest stories in golf right now is what will happen to Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton’s DP World Tour fines and will they maintain Ryder Cup eligibility for Adare Manor in 2027. As it stands, both Jon and Tyrrell, among other LIV players, have appealed their fines putting them in “stay” with no current information on when their appeal will be heard. Speaking ahead of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, Rory McIlroy thinks Jon and Tyrrell should just pay those fines and “prove” their commitment to the Ryder Cup: “Yeah, absolutely. Main thing is -- look, this is my opinion. We went really hard on the Americans about being paid to play the Ryder Cup, and we also said that we would pay to play in Ryder Cups. There's two guys that can prove it. Great. I think that's -- yeah.” This is a very interesting comment. What Rory McIlroy is suggesting here is that Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton pay $6 million each out of their own pockets to play in the same type of events that Rory gets enormous appearance fees for “supporting”. It’s also worth noting that Rory also plays the majority of his golf on a competitor to the DP World Tour and he doesn’t get fined for doing so. What do you think about this? Are the fines justified and should Jon and Tyrrell pay them?

Justin Rose has had an exceptional career, winning a major, becoming world number 1, winning a Fed Ex Cup and being instrumental in the success of Team Europe at the Ryder Cup. However, he sees winning The Open Championship as the pinnacle of the game: “Yeah, The Open Championship for a British player is the pinnacle of the game for sure. It's the one that I would love to win the most, I think, for sure. Obviously given my history, even going back to sort of being 14 and coming up to -- trying to qualify for the St Andrews Open and coming up to final qualifying as a 14-year-old, I've always had a real passion for The Open Championship. “Yeah, to step through my career and not have a jug at the end of it, yeah, I'll always look back at it and go, yeah, that's a shame. But I think The Open Championship offers you the longest runway of an opportunity to win one. So there's plenty of time left.” Justin has finished runner up twice at The Open, including just two years ago, and finished top 5 as an amateur at this venue in 1998. What an incredible story it would be if he were to become the first Englishman to lift the Claret Jug since Sir Nick Faldo in 1992 and finally call himself the Champion Golfer of the Year 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Justin ROSE The Open

Swing ON PLANE if you want more Straight Shots Josh had more planes than Heathrow! So, we simplified his take away with the help of an alignment stick as feedback How you start the swing will influence the rest: Josh would whip it inside and then up high making it very difficult to pivot the body well and deliver the club from a good place. We got Josh to stop at waist height as a check point and then feel a good pivot to the top where his arms were a little flatter. The result in the downswing was a much shallower approach leading to better turf interation and a more predictable straighter ball flight. #golf #golftips

Hard to believe, but 20 years ago tonight we helped Xbox launch the Xbox 360 live on G4 — broadcasting from the Mojave Desert at the massive Zero Hour event. I still remember interviewing Peter Moore that night as Xbox put on an absolutely wild show. They were hungry — determined to make a statement by launching the 360 a full year before Sony’s PS3. And they went all-in with a spectacle few had ever seen for a console launch. Back then, most TV networks didn’t think gamers would tune in to watch a system debut the way sports fans watch a big game. But you proved them wrong. The audience showed up in force, and the G4 team pulled off a full day of live programming that helped mark a turning point in how we cover this industry. Pretty incredible to look back two decades later at how far the industry — and the community — have come.

🚨 TRUMP IS MAKING WASHINGTON D.C. BEAUTIFUL AGAIN President Trump just dropped a massive update: Statues, monuments, and fountains across DC have been restored to perfection after years of radical left vandalism and neglect. The Reflecting Pool? Radical criminals sliced it up, but it’s getting fixed ASAP. Lafayette Park is shining. And the big one: Trump’s teaming with Tom Fazio to build one of the greatest golf courses in the world at East Potomac, open to the public, hosting Majors like the U.S. Open, Ryder Cup, and PGA. Construction kicks off September 1st! This is what leadership looks like. Cleaning up the mess the left left behind and building America (and DC) back better. No more crime, graffiti, and decay. Make Washington Prestigious Again!

At the start of this year, Phil Mickelson had a crushing ball speed of 165mph. Within 2 months he upped that to high 170’s and topping over 180. That’s an incredible jump for a man in his 50’s! He puts it down to training with speed sticks and explains how he has to change his release the faster he gets. “What I do notice is as I speed the swing up, I have to change the release point of my golf swing. I use length to create the leverage that I want, so it takes a lot of pressure off. But, as I do that, I have to change where the release is. But if I speed up, when I get down to the ball the face will be open. So I have to feel like I’m releasing the club a little bit earlier.” Lefty is a master at going deep in explaining the technicals of the golf swing. Definitely give this a watch, it may help you hit bombs! 💪 💣 Phil Mickelson LIV Golf Troy Mullins

🚨💰🇪🇺 #COST OF DOING BUSINESS — Justin Rose calls on Jon Rahm to pay his outstanding fines… “Yeah, listen, I would like to see Jon -- how many guys, eight? The other seven did it. So obviously eight did it and Jon didn't. So I mean, there's pretty decent precedent that the deal wasn't outrageous that they were proposing….” “But at the same time, I would like to see Jon pay his fines for sure and be a part of the Ryder Cup. For me, obviously playing on LIV was a decision that he made and wanted to make, and fair play to him for making it and good for him….” “He's playing good golf out there. He's winning. He's making a lot of money, and he's - you know, you can't argue, can't knock what he's been able to achieve out there….” “So I would just see it as a cost of doing business for Jon. Like for me, being in the Ryder Cup is more than about money. What I would say, where he may have a point is the Tour making him play extra events. Maybe he has a point there.” “So maybe there's some middle ground where he would do his best to support the Tour as and when, but not necessarily have that hung over his head, but paying his fines is obviously step No. 1.”

Huge congratulations to Fit For Golf - Mike Carroll client Stephan Jaeger on his first PGA Tour 🏆 Stephan contacted me in March 2022 with the goal of increasing his distance Season avg at that point VS this season: •Club Head Speed: 112.97 (141) ➡️ 118.68 (49) •Ball Speed: 169.48 (139) ➡️ 177.24 (52) •Average Driving Distance: 285.8 (192) ➡️ 309.4 (8) •Strokes Gained Off The Tee: -1.06 (212) ➡️ 0.435 (25) •Strokes Gained Total: -0.519 ➡️ 1.014 (14) All credit to Stephan. Writing the programs in the easy part 🙂. He has put in a huge amount of work in the gym, on the range, and on the course. He really committed. It is extremely rare for a very short hitter to turn themselves into a very long hitter at the tour level, and it doesn’t happen by accident. If an already pretty well tuned tour player can make this type of improvement, think of the gains that are available to you with some smart and hard work 👊.

Rory McIlroy was asked after The Open whether he’d like to see Bryson DeChambeau play in the Irish Open on the DP World Tour: “I mean, I think that would be great for the tournament, absolutely. Having someone like Bryson at the Irish Open, yeah, it would be great for the tournament.” He then was asked whether the national open should remain as a stand alone DP World Tour event with the upcoming PGA Tour changes: “If it's going to stay -- I guess next year it might change because of the Ryder Cup in Adare, but if it's going to stay in that September date, I don't see how it becomes part of the PGA Tour season when the PGA Tour is going to be played from February to August.” The Amgen Irish Open is to be held at Trump Doonbeg in September and there are strong rumours Bryson may make an appearance.

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.

US CIVIL WAR INCOMING, AL-AQSA FALLS, PERSIA AND RUSSIA RISE: THE ESCHATOLOGY WAR PLAN Professor Jiang analyzed the different eschatologies in the most important world religions and powerful spiritual groups. His conclusion reveals a startling convergence where these prophecies align and actively drive current and coming wars. If Jiang is right, over the next two to four years these overlapping visions will trigger precise events that reshape the entire global order. DOWNFALL OF THE USA - US CIVIL CONFLICT ➡️ The United States will deploy ground troops. ➡️ This forces a national draft sparking refusals from young people and massive protests. ➡️ National Guard deployment then creates the perfect recipe for intense civil conflict inside America. THE MIDDLE EAST REORDERING ➡️ CENTCOM transfers to Israel after the US loses the war. ➡️ GCC economies face deliberate destruction. ➡️ This clears the path for Israel to absorb the GCC plus parts of Turkey and Egypt into the Greater Israel project. OTHER WAR PARTICIPANTS ➡️ Turkey and Saudi Arabia will enter the conflict. ➡️ They will suffer tremendously from their participation. ➡️ The Al-Aqsa Mosque will be destroyed. THE RISE OF PERSIA ➡️ Iran wins key battles activating its ancient Persian identity. ➡️ This sets up the Gog and Magog march where Persia and Russia confront Israel. ISRAEL'S STRATEGIC ASCENSION ➡️ Israel secures Greater Israel territory as promised to Abraham. ➡️ Pax Judaica follows as a one-world government powered by AI surveillance and the mark of the beast. ➡️ Tech giants like Nvidia Oracle Microsoft and Google will relocate to Israel as capital flows to the new power center. THE EURASIAN SHIFT ➡️ Russia wins the war in Ukraine. ➡️ Greeks return to Constantinople with Russian support against Turkey. ➡️ This demands the destruction of Europe and the end of NATO fulfilling the Orthodox Third Rome prophecy. THE WAR OF GOG AND MAGOG ➡️ People are interpreting Gog and Magog as the forces that will march against Israel in the end days. ➡️ Gog is understood to be Persia combined with Russia. ➡️ Together they will march against Pax Judaica. THE BOTTOM LINE These predictions emerge purely from the points where the most extreme eschatologies of different traditions perfectly intersect and agree. Ancient prophecies are no longer myths — they are now the operating system steering the wars that will define our decade.

Chip Conley (Chip Conley) is one of the most extraordinary people you'll ever meet. He was a founding member of the board of Burning Man, a board member at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, and at 26, he started a hotel called Joie de Vivre, which went on to become the second-largest boutique hotel chain in the world. After a near-death experience, he sold the hotel, and soon after, Brian Chesky recruited him to join Airbnb to help him transform the company from a fast-growing start-up into the world’s most valuable hospitality brand. At Airbnb, Chip became known as the "Modern elder" and helped Brian and the business grow in immeasurable ways. After leaving Airbnb, Chip started The Modern Elder Academy (now known as MEA)—the world's first midlife wisdom school. Chip has also written 7 books, given a popular TED talk, and is an incredible human and friend. In our conversation, we discuss: 🔸 The reality of Brian Chesky in “founder mode”—the good, bad, and stressful 🔸 How Chip went from running 52 boutique hotels to becoming Airbnb’s in-house mentor in his 50s 🔸 The “mentor and intern” mindset: how to simultaneously teach others and stay curious like a beginner 🔸 Why AI might actually favor older workers (hint: human wisdom vs. artificial intelligence) 🔸 His framework for navigating midlife transitions and finding meaning after 40 🔸 Specific tactics for older professionals to thrive in tech companies 🔸 Surprising data that midlife is often the happiest time of life—and how to leverage your 40s, 50s, and beyond 🔸 Chip’s formula for managing anxiety and fear (and how to regain control when worry strikes) Listen now 👇 • YouTube: • Spotify: • Apple: Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 Great Question — Empower everyone to run great research: 🏆 Vanta — Automate compliance.

In 2022, Justin Rose had the opportunity to join LIV Golf, which he declined. Since then, he’s won 3 times on the PGA Tour, won a home and away Ryder Cup, finished runner up in The Open and the Masters, and risen to 5th in the world. He spoke about whether he feels his decision was validated with his wire to wire, record setting victory at the Farmers Insurance Open: “Yeah, I feel like, yeah, my career goals have always only been attainable by staying on the European Tour and the PGA TOUR because access to them is not, you know, not possible the other way. “But obviously I want to play in amongst the best players in the world. That obviously for me is kind of what keeps me motivated, what keeps me hungry, what keeps me pushing. “So yeah, it would have been easy to potentially do other things, but none of that excited me I don't think really. And none of it gave me access to what I wanted to achieve. “So I kind of always felt like my childhood self wouldn't feel very good about making that decision and kind of giving up on those dreams. “I feel like, yeah, I've been close. I would say, you know, sniffing and knocking on the door of a couple majors since those decisions were made and those moments. “Yeah, it did validate the decision. Yeah, the way things are in the world of golf right now, yeah, I feel like it's good to see people wanting to kind of play where it motivates them to be their best.” He also spoke about the goals he has left to achieve in his career: “Yeah, majors is where I have my attention, for sure. I mean, obviously I take -- like I said, I've achieved a lot in the game, but I've achieved a lot of it just once. So I'll take multiple of anything that I've achieved for sure would be great. “But if I look at my career, yeah, I've been really close to the Open, I've been really close to the Masters. The dream of winning all four was obviously the ultimate goal since I've been a kid. but it seems a long way off to think that way, but if you think about some of the results I've had in the last year or 18 months, I'm not that far away so may as well keep believing.” Justin is the model professional and with how well he’s playing right now, it wouldn’t be surprising if he were to contend in more major championships this season.

This is the man who helped subdue the passenger who was trying to open the emergency exit door on Frontier Airlines flight 3345. His name is Josh Longood, an Ohio native, a true hero who saved the day and helped take control of the situation. Josh was on a flight home to Chicago from his brother's bachelor's party in Puerto Rico when another passenger allegedly assaulted a flight attendant who attempted to pick up his bag and then attempted to open an emergency exit door on the Frontier flight. Longood was in the right place at the right time. He's a former professional MMA fighter and a current competitive BJJ black belt. He said he is lucky he is a light sleeper and was only a row of seats away when everything went down. Longwood said he restrained the man once for about 10 minutes and then a second time when the man slipped his restraints. He controlled him for another 20-30 minutes until the airplane made an emergency landing in Miami. You can see the authorities waiting for the plane to arrive and escorting the man off the plane. Apparently he was drunk. Thankful for people like Josh. We need more in this world like him. If you are trained in martial arts, have you ever had to use your training to save yourself or someone else?

"Ryan Singer (Ryan Singer) and his Shape Up method is an incredible system that takes as input 'kludgy, clumsily scaled product org unsure about what to build and how' and delivers as output 'a focused clear thinking set of teams that has a rhythm, a method, and a purpose.” That's how Des Traynor (co-founder of Intercom) described the impact Ryan Singer and the Shape Up method have on teams. Ryan spent nearly two decades refining a product development approach at 37signals that helped the company build super-successful products with small teams. Based on these lessons, he wrote a book called "Shape Up: Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work that Matters," which describes a different way of working that an increasing number of companies are adopting. If your team used to run smoothly but is now struggling to ship great product, this episode is for you. In our conversation, Ryan shares: 1. A step-by-step approach to transitioning from Scrum to Shape Up by piloting the methodology with a single team before broader implementation. 2. Why traditional Agile and Scrum methods often lead teams into endless cycles of work without meaningful shipping milestones. 3. The “appetite-driven” approach to product development where teams set fixed timeboxes (usually six weeks maximum) and vary the scope instead of expanding timelines. 4. The exact process for running effective “shaping” sessions that collaboratively define projects before committing resources. 5. How to adapt Shape Up principles to your company’s unique context, even if it’s nothing like Basecamp. 6. Practical techniques for bridging the engineering-design divide by bringing technical and product perspectives together earlier in the process. 7. The powerful “breadboarding” and “fat marker sketching” techniques that help teams align on solutions without getting lost in high-fidelity details. 8. The clear warning signs that your current development process is failing before it’s too late to change course. 9. Proven strategies to implement Shape Up methods, whether you’re working in a startup or enterprise environment. 10. Why the PM role shifts upstream in Shape Up, focusing more on problem definition than project management.

🚨 Bombshell footage dropped by Justin Baldoni’s legal team completely contradicts Blake Lively’s s*xual harassment claims. Here’s what the raw video and audio reveal: 1️⃣ No Dialogue, Blake Breaks Character: The scene had no dialogue, but Blake Lively repeatedly broke character first, speaking as herself. In contrast, Blake’s complaint inaccurately claims Justin was the only one out of character when speaking to her, even though she was the one breaking character too. 2️⃣ Blake Trying to Take Control: From the start of the scene, Blake attempted to take control, instructing them to stand on their marks, backing up position, and worrying about the lighting, demonstrating creative differences between her and Justin. Any tension was creative differences not s*xual harassment. But also it calls into question whether she was overstepping into Justin’s role as director. 3️⃣ Blake Pushed for Justin to Speak: Blake insisted Justin talk—not for the audience, but for her—and that’s when Justin, out of character, mentioned their spouses Ryan and Emily. This contradicts Blake’s claim in her complaint that she was disturbed by Justin breaking character, especially since she was encouraging him to do so, given the lack of a script. 4️⃣ Blake Suggested Sexual Tension: Blake herself suggested adding sexual tension to the scene, even proposing a kiss, but not fully delivering what the audience wanted. This shows she consented to the scene and understood its sexual undertones. 5️⃣ Both Acting in Their Roles: It’s important to note that both Blake and Justin were acting in their respective roles. Justin’s character, Ryle, is dominant, sexual, and assertive. Justin’s actions, including reaching over and almost kissing Blake, were in line with the character he was playing. 6️⃣ Blake Consented to the Scene: Blake consented to doing this scene. If she had concerns about the romantic nature of the scene, she could have raised them before or during filming, especially since she had no problem voicing her opinions during the scene. 7️⃣ Blake’s Giggling and Flirty Behavior: Blake giggled, laughed out of character, and talked constantly which made an already awkward romantic scene seem unprofessional and even flirtatious. Her behavior undermines her claims of discomfort. 8️⃣ Blake’s Comments About Justin’s Appearance: During the scene, Blake commented on how “nosey” the scene felt, prompting Justin to acknowledge, “my nose is so big.” In response, Blake jokingly suggested he should get a nose job. This is odd, especially considering Blake’s sensitivity to people fat-shaming her, revealing a double standard in how she reacts to comments about appearance. It also indicates a certain level of comfort between them, as Blake felt she could make such a comment without issue. 9️⃣ Blake Was Touchy and Sensual: Throughout the scene, Blake was touchy and sensual, grabbing Justin’s face, putting her arms around his neck, holding his hands, touching heads, and embracing him, demonstrating physical comfort and intimacy during filming. 🔟 Justin’s Comment ‘It Smells Good’: Justin’s comment “It smells good” was in response to Blake, who had broken character and mentioned, “I’m probably getting spray tan on you” (which often has a strong smell). Justin, trying to console her, said, “It smells good.” This bombshell footage not only discredits Blake’s s*xual harassment allegations but also casts serious doubt on her credibility, professionalism, and intentions. What’s clear from the raw footage is that Blake’s actions don’t align with her claims, raising significant concerns about the authenticity of her story.

Jon Rahm explains his decision to reject a deal with the DP World Tour and put his Ryder Cup future at risk: “Well, my position hasn't changed in a week. I don't like what they're doing currently with the contract they're having us sign. I don't like the conditions. They're asking me to play a minimum of six events, and they dictate where two of those have to be, amongst other things that I don't agree with. “If we just go based on that -- I've been a dual member my whole career, PGA TOUR and DP World Tour. Now with LIV Golf being accepted in the world rankings as part of the ecosystem, you could almost say a three-tour member, even though I'm suspended from the PGA TOUR. “But I've always been a dual member. Never once have I been asked for a release to play either one of those tours. We've never submitted a release. So why is it now that we need to be offering this and there's all these penalties? I understand why they're doing it. What's the problem? “Given also the fact that two years ago I was asked to appeal the fines so they could figure this out and sort it out and I did and we're running into more problems right now. “I just don't like the situation. I think we should be able to freely play where we want and have the choice to play where we want and not be dictated what we do. Especially myself. I can't speak for others; only myself. “I've always committed to play the minimum requirement, and I think I've played four events, including the Spanish Open, every year except one as a pro, and I commit to do that. That's not going to change. I still fully intend to do that. “Now, with the LIV and the major schedule I don't think I'm going to be able to do so until our playoffs or our last events are done. But given on the back nine, right, we have the Omega Masters, I believe, Irish Open, Wentworth, French, Dunhill, Spain. “Out of those events, I would love to play my four in there given I'm going to the Spanish Open, three of those I am going to play, and I fully intend to play three of those. I would love to. “I don't know what game they're trying to play right now, but it just seems like in a way they're using us to -- they're using our impact in tournaments and fining us and trying to benefit both ways from what we have to offer, and it's just in a way they're extorting players like myself and young players that have nothing to do with the politics of the game. “So I don't like the situation and I'm not going to agree to that. “Now, I did tell them, funny enough, lower that to four events, like the minimum says, and I'll sign tonight. They haven't agreed to that. I just refuse to play six events. I don't want to, and that's not what the rules say.” When asked about Tyrrell’s decision to agree a deal, he said: “I respect Tyrrell's decision. That's all I have to say. He's free to make his own choice, and I fully respect it.” And he also reacted to Rory’s comments suggesting he now has the opportunity to prove he would pay to play in the Ryder Cup: “I think I responded to that a few weeks ago and I said, that statement would make a lot more sense if all 12 of us were being asked to pay, not only just the two of us. There's more intricacy that goes into this whole situation, right. While I understand why he's saying that, we all do it for the love of the game, it's a different situation than what we usually see. “I'll gladly pay my way to go on the Ryder Cup, not have to pay to still be a member of the DP World Tour and fulfill a commitment that I'm fully willing to commit.” What are your thoughts on this?
