It’s been 40 years since Jack Nicklaus won his final tournament at the Masters. And nearly 30 since talk of Tiger Woods chasing his records began. So I wrote a book: TIGER V. JACK: Golf’s Great Debate. A celebration of two of the greatest golfers that explores the records, rivalries, statistics, and context of their illustrious careers. It drops this spring … read.macmillan.com/lp/tiger-…

This is probably a few chess moves away, but legal expert Jodi Baslam says LIV's creditors may have a good chance at clawing some money back from the Saudi PIF if LIV liquidates.
Full conversation is worth a listen, too.

That's one of the most amazing posts I've ever seen....
Thank you, as always...
Happy 104th to my dear friend, #USMC GySgt Geri Fiorello, a force of nature who in 1943 told her CO that she didn’t join the Marines to be a typist. And that’s how Camp Lejeune got its first female drill Sgt. Semper Fi, Gunny 🇺🇸

Seems PGAT would really want to get 72 holes in... if not... OWGR awards only 75% points for 54-holes now... So Bermuda would be down from 21.9 winners share to 16.4
With no improvement to the current weather conditions and anticipated further deterioration, there will be no play today @Bermuda_Champ.
More information regarding play on Monday will be provided no later than 5:00 p.m. local today.
Has made just six major starts. It will be his first trip to the Masters
🇺🇸 John Catlin spent most of his season on the @HPlanner_Tour. Now he's heading to Augusta and The Open at St. Andrews.

Like an umpire once said to a catcher disputing a ball/strike call on Ted Williams: “if it had been a strike, Mr. Williams would have swung.”
Bring back normalizing good hitters getting special treatment. “If Mr. Diaz wanted to check his swing, he checked his swing.”

Most Important Players for LIV to Keep - UPDATED
Some errors fixed, players & text added and/or edited, and my perception of current status...
Most Important Players for LIV to Keep - Ranked
Most of the tables I post are based on FACTS the best as I know them. But this one is pure OPINION.
Here's my rough ranking of player importance to the continuation of LIV. If and when we hear more confirmations on players leaving or staying...
IMO, the more BLUE in the status column at the top of this list, the more likely LIV 2.0 gets off the ground... the more red, the more likely it doesn't.
Again... this is just MY opinion... Your mileage may vary...
PS... and I'm not sure any of this matters anyway, if LIV 2.0 really is more about an NOL Tax Play vs being about the golf.
