Mm

As a Texan, I’m well aware of my bias, but bias withstanding, not enough can be said about the Texans who turned down the crazy millions to join LIV. Grateful to PGA Tour stars Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth who helped ensure the history of the PGA Tour by turning down tens of millions, but especially to Will Zalatoris, who as an injured but rising potential superstar told the Saudis (MBS) to stuff their 130 million dollar offer because he wanted to be, not only on the right side of history, to create an inspiring legacy. In addition to Zallatoris, the Coody brothers, Pierceson and Parker, turned down multimillion dollar and potentially life changing offers because they believed legacy has more currency than hypocrisy. The Saudis (MBS) want to use golf to launder their reputation but perhaps as much or more, to use golf as a crutch to diversify their economy that is almost solely based upon petroleum but largely hindered by their subjugation and some would argue their enslavement of women, which truncates their intellectual and entrepreneurial development. They want to use golf as a vehicle for economic expansion, to obviate the necessity of modernizing their archaic and medieval views about women, which obviously hinders their economic expansion. If we allow golf to be bought out by the Saudis ( MBS), we will tacitly be supporting the subjugation of women. Golf is facing an existential threat that has far more implications than even the game of golf.

Happy Birthday, Rep. @toddahunter! We hope you have a joyful day! #TXLege

You just have to scratch your head on the @PGATOUR'S decision to put a bullet in the @DellMatchPlay. They can't figure out how to do it with @livgolf_league, but the majors figured it out, going forward the @PGATOUR will have to figure it out. Its been a great run in Austin.

Today we celebrated the 100th birthday of one of golf’s greatest players and local treasure Jackie Burke at the Champions Golf Club. Accompanied by notables like country singer Clay Walker, golfers Ben Crenshaw, Butch Harmon and Steve Elkington we acknowledged Jackie’s birthday.

To my many friends in the Indian community. I want to be clear that you have a home in Texas. This attack is vile and has no place in our community & I strongly condemn it.

This fall I will be taking an in-depth look at Texas' water systems and infrastructure and what we need to do to ensure Texas remains an economic powerhouse and an attractive place to do business. It's all part of our Good for Texas Tour series. #txlege comptroller.texas.gov/about/…

●Ahead of the House Select Committee on Health Care Reform’s meeting next month, my office has met w/ dozens of health care providers & other stakeholders to identify obstacles that make our market less efficient. What issues do you face in the health care arena? #txlege
