@pittiecoco Jeff has been a longtime critic of Rory, the PGA Tour, and the liberal golf media, long before LIV!

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

Rory McIlroy, who spent years sneering at LIV golfers taking guaranteed money, apparently discovered a magic euphemism: “Global ambassador.” 😂

No hat logo required for the PGA Tour star. Just conveniently showing up at DP World tour events he’d normally skip.

Definitely not an appearance fee though. Totally different. 😑

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

Golf Media Mythology: Rory McIlroy, the selfless guardian of PGA TOUR tradition, was fighting LIV for “the soul of golf.”

IRL: Ahead of the DP World India Championship, at a Bloomberg Forum, “RORS” admits the motivation was mostly related to personal greed as LIV posed a threat to his goofy virtual golf league, TGL.⛳️💰

The “soul of golf” was apparently Rory’s investment portfolio.

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

Peak Rory McIlroy: lectures LIV Golf about wasting millions on already-wealthy pros… from India where he’s being paid millions to play in the DPWT India Championship.🤨

Apparently “wasting money” becomes “growing the game” the moment the “appearance fee” hits the PGA Tour star’s bank account. 😂

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

PGA TOUR establishment: “Hey, whatever happened to Abe Ancer?”

Also establishment: blocked LIV from OWGR, choked off major access, then watched players disappear from rankings.

A real whodunnit mystery.🤨

[Pro Golf Weekly 🇺🇸 @ProGolfWeekly]

@AlanShipnuck As if it was a natural occurrence and not a concerted effort by pga tour inc. They couldn’t block the truly elite world class like Bryson Rahm Koepka etc but the Paul Caseys and Abe Ancers were easy targets.

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

Wait. Brooks Koepka — the guy who was slapped with a supposedly punitive $5M fine for playing LIV Golf… is then rewarded with one of just 4 spots in a $4M made-for-TV Skins Game? 🤨

The PGA Tour is one big scam.

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

LIV Golf was supposedly a league of irrelevant mercenaries.

Now those same players could make DPWT fields “rival the PGA TOUR.”

Same players. Approved logo. Miraculously elite again.😂

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

Nothing screams “competitive marketplace” quite like: “Don’t sign with LIV GOLF and we’ll guarantee you access to @DPWorldTour events (which btw is only path back to PGA TOUR).”

Somewhere, a DOJ antitrust lawyer just saved screenshot. 😂

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

Another PGA TOUR “world-class” partner accused of fraud.

Cognizant Classic title sponsor is under investigation by Trump admin for the systemic practice of importing Indians 🇮🇳 for American 🇺🇸 IT jobs.
Just shocked 🤔

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

So, Jon Rahm’s ages 29-31 were a “wasted 3 years of prime” because he won 0 majors on LIV?

Rory McIlroy won 0 majors from age 26-34 on the PGA TOUR — over 10 full seasons! But that wasn’t a wasted prime!?

The double standard is impressive. 😂

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

Nothing says “marquee international event” like a Golf Channel preview of the Presidents Cup with 57 LIVE viewers.

My wife’s sourdough starter group chat is bigger. 😂

[Pro Golf Weekly 🇺🇸 @ProGolfWeekly]

The news media is as corrupt as the golf media. The murderer is a black man.

[The Associated Press @AP]

The death of Tasia Fortune, a Black Mississippi woman found hanging from a tree on Aug. 3, has stirred distressing memories of the grim history of lynchings across the U.S. South.

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

The Asian Tour dumped LIV Golf to crawl back into the PGA TOUR/DP World Tour ecosystem

Turns out press releases can’t be used to fund tournaments

But hey — there’s that shiny new “pathway” to the **HotelPlanner Tour** 😂

[Jeff Smith @JeffSmithGolf]

DP World Tour whining that LIV Golf competed for players, sponsors, broadcasters and venues is genuinely hilarious.

So… a competitor competed.👀

When “competition” is the grievance, the monopoly jokes write themselves. 🎩😂

@PepperellEddie @kclairerogers His father died — you dumabss

[Pro Golf Weekly 🇺🇸 @ProGolfWeekly]

The LPGA has a charisma problem. Even its biggest star is an absolute robotic bore!

[Beth Ann Nichols @GolfweekNichols]

Sadly, the loudest Solheim Cup in history didn’t reverberate across the Atlantic. The event’s TV ratings in the U.S. were nothing short of a gut-punch to those who observed its success on the ground.

Josh Carpenter of the Sports Business Journal shared the startling numbers on X: 179,000 watched on Golf Channel Saturday and, despite an 8-8 score heading into singles, viewership dropped to 170,000 on Sunday, when Europe came out on top.

To put that in perspective, consider that three years ago when the event was held in Spain, Sunday’s viewership numbers on Golf Channel were 277,000.

That’s a 39 percent drop in viewership.

In 2015, the last time the U.S. won on foreign soil, Golf Channel coverage averaged 227,000 viewers.

Brian Rolapp spent all summer selling a simpler, stronger PGA TOUR.

Rory McIlroy spent 10 minutes setting the brochure on fire. 😂 https://t.co/0OzX0rqa7A
