TGL Delivers
TGL finally lived up to the hype. Jupiter Links GC took down Boston Common in the first ever overtime session in TGL history on Monday night. Unlike in previous matches, this week’s competition was close, the mic’d up moments were memorable and most importantly there was some quality golf shots. Tom Kim made his debut for Jupiter and was the missing piece we didn’t know we needed. It remains to be seen if TGL can continue to keep fans interested when the top stars aren’t playing, however.
The Masters Commercial is Here
We’re inside 100 days until Augusta and you won’t want to miss this commercial for The Masters that was shown during the NFL action on Sunday…
Dahmen Trained with SEALS
At the Farmers Insurance Open, Joel Dahmen revealed that he travelled to San Diego last fall alongside his caddie to train with U.S. Navy SEALS. He explained that he did so to improve his mental toughness but admitted that he never thought it would be as difficult as it was.
Justin Thomas Sends Letter
Last week, amidst low TV ratings and lack of hype among PGA TOUR events, Justin Thomas took matters into his own hands, sending a letter to membership urging players to step up their efforts to engage with fans. One suggestion he made was to provide the TOUR’s media partners with more pre-round interview access.
Dottie Pepper Calls out Slow Play
CBS Sports’ on course announcer Dottie Pepper was not impressed at the pace of play during The Farmers Insurance, calling it out on the broadcast. “I think we’re starting to need a new word to talk about this pace of play issue, and it’s respect… “For your fellow competitors, for the fans, for broadcasts, for all of it. It’s just gotta get better.”
Major LIV News
LIV signed mega content creator Rick Shiels to a deal that will see the UK based YouTuber travel to all LIV events and film episodes of ‘Break 75’ at each venue during the 2025 season, along with a variety of other content.
