No need to tell you Matt runs laps around the establishment media, but pay attention, these are no throwaway lines:
”Professional golfers are independent contractors. They should be free to play wherever they choose.”
This is the necessary truth behind every moving part in the sport today.

Ted Goldthorpe, Partner and Head of BC Partners Credit:
Per Sportico at Invest London event:
Goldthorpe said the group will introduce additional co-investors who will be able to support the league as well, with plans to achieve what he described as financial sustainability “very, very quickly” without significant additional cash required.
“People’s initial reaction is … ‘What are you thinking?’” Goldthorpe said. “You wouldn’t believe the number of people who’ve reached out to us to invest.”

The PGA Tour has for the last couple of seasons taken sponsorship money from a company now accused of running a Ponzi like scheme.
"A separate lawsuit filed by Jeremy Ricks, who lives in California, alleges that Oneflight used customer funds to service obligations to earlier customers and fund marketing and sponsorship campaigns for various groups, including the PGA Tour and McLaren F1 team."

Josele just holed an eagle from 130 feet on the Old Course.
That’s the kind of putt you send to somebody who doesn’t watch much golf.
130 FEET!!!
Jose Luis Ballester drains a monster putt on the 5th at the Old Course 😮💨

Casey Jarvis (-11) leads the Dunhill.
Kingsbarns is playing slightly more than a shot easier than Carnoustie & the Old Course, so far.
LIV Golf names near the top: Schniederjans (-9), Detry, Ballester, Koepka (-8), and Surratt, Meronk (-7).
Two rounds complete across the Links.

The finale drops today. Bryson vs Chance for $100,000. If DeChambeau wins, a follower gets the check.
Golf doesn’t need a TV network. It needs its current stars to meet its future ones where they are.

No confirmation from anyone at LIV Golf about Adelaide 2027 location, yet.

A representative for Phil Mickelson told TMZ he voluntarily went into treatment for family trauma and addiction.
And that he is already out.
Phil said in June the priority was a private family matter. Hoping he received the help he needed.

First DP World Tour start for Ian Poulter since he resigned his membership after Dubai in January 2023.
Paid the LIV Golf fines to come back. Same as Lee Westwood.
Dunhill & St Andrew’s might be the perfect homecoming for these legends.
I wonder when we'll get the McLaren Golf Series 2 irons. Justin Rose and Ian Poulter both have them in their bags this week at the @dunhilllinks.

The DP World Tour's 2025 accounts are out, and the headline profit doesn't tell the full story. As a lover of the DPWT I’m very worried.
The Tour reported a £3.3M profit before tax, but that relies on a £67.6M accounting gain on its PGA TOUR derivative. Thread 👇🏼
