Kevin Kisner criticized Rory McIlroy on the Fore Play Podcast, questioning whether his participation in an event in India was truly about growing the game globally or simply collecting an appearance fee.

3. LIV Golf Faces Uncertain Future as More Players Depart

LIV Golf could cease operations before the end of 2026, with league attorneys confirming that a decision on its future for a potential LIV 2.0 relaunch will come by the end of October. Last week it was confirmed that Jon Rahm, David Puig, Thomas Pieters, Abraham Ancer, Adrian Meronk and Charles Howell III are among the notable players departing, while Richard Bland, Cameron Tringale, Ben Campbell and Brendan Steele have committed to staying. With the league facing financial uncertainty and struggling to secure player commitments, its future remains in doubt but we should get more clarity in the coming days.

Golf tip 🏌🏻‍♂️

If you are slicing the ball, your clubface is likely staying open at impact. To fix this, try the split-hand practice drill. Place your lead hand in its normal position, but slide your trail hand down to the bottom of the grip where it meets the shaft. This separation forces you to square the clubface and keeps the handle pointing at your belly button as you swing through. Brush the grass aggressively during these practice swings, then recreate that exact feeling during your real shots to cure your slice.
