shocking that Yormark didn't have a canned answer ready on Sorsby, and ludicrous to say "today is not the time" -- if not at Media Days, the officially designated place to answer all the press Qs, then when/where?

The north course at Omni La Costa underwent a $20M renovation before hosting its first NCAA golf championships in 2024.

Now about to complete the 3rd of 5-year deal, attention will quickly shift to the next bidding cycle (2029-31), which opens in July.

New @FOS: On top of hosting the PGA Championship + last year's U.S. Open, the next goal for Pennsylvania officials is to land an annual PGA Tour stop.

We asked all 16 Big 12 schools if they're taking the $ from RedBird Capital. 11 say no; 1 says it hasn't decided yet; 4 didn't respond.

Schools have a year to take it, so they could still change their minds.

Update @FOS with the PIF's full statement, which confirms LIV funding will end after this season.

Key line: "The substantial investment required by LIV Golf over a longer term is no longer consistent with the current phase of PIF’s investment strategy."

Yesterday, we reported the Big 12 presidents had voted to approve the Big 12's private capital deal with RedBird and Weatherford Capital.

It's a landmark agreement and the first of its kind in college sports. Thread ⬇️

It is true I suppose that scoops don't last long -- news cycle moves fast -- but it is not remotely true that original reporting is not valued. It is the most valued thing, and scoops beget more scoops and stack up over time.

New: The @PGATOUR has officially decided to move on from starting its season in Hawaii. Kapalua is no more.

Also: The tour is having conversations about making the Sony Open a PGA Tour Champions event https://t.co/7F0tHBBNMq

NEW: Darren Heitner's fingerprints are all over college sports. The sports lawyer told @FOS about his practice & how he finds time to be involved in everything.

"I start working the moment I wake up. And I stop working roughly around when I go to sleep.”

There are 3 major questions should LIV Golf's PIF funding be cut.

1. Could LIV Golf Members Return to the PGA Tour?
2. Could LIV Continue With New Investors?
3. Will the PIF Continue Other Golf Investments?

I broke things down for @FOS ⤵️

The Big 12 is approaching a potential $500 million private capital agreement, FOS has confirmed.

The firms behind the deal, RedBird and Weatherford, wouldn't receive equity in the conference and schools can opt out, a source tells FOS.
