Here are my picks.

Novak 25s 2pts e/w
Eckroat 40s 1.5pts e/w
E V Rooyen 75s
Pavon 80s

1pt e/w unless stated.

@stevew0601 Cheers, awesome gig tonight, mostly the new album obviously which is great, four Adorable tracks in there as well.
The 2019 Adorable gigs were amazing. I was at the Hebden Bridge one.

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

Adorable the best band Creation records ever signed, a direct Alan McGee quote.
Genius. Seeing Pete in Manchester tonight. Can’t wait!

[Steve Williams @stevew0601]

Pete Fij playing A To Fade In (Adorable) at Jacaranda last night

I have to be honest I have as much interest in this as I would have the cleeks trading with the range goats on LIV.
Never watched a minute of it & have no interest in doing so.
Anyone else feel the same?

🚨🏌️🔁 #TRADE — Boston Common Golf have acquired Shane Lowry from The Bay GC in the first ever TGL trade.

The Bay GC receives Boston Common Golf’s fourth selection to fill its open roster spot in this season’s roster formation process and one future selection over the next three off-seasons, along with commercial considerations.

In other news, TGL rosters are expanding to five players in 2027.

Bump.

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

Just how good is Chacarra is the question? Is he a future Major Champ? Is he potentially as good as Rahm? Worry is that he uses broom handle. As I said before he’s going to eat up ball striking tracks on PGA Tour. Future Sawgrass champ. Can’t wait to see him in Ryder C as well.

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

With Elastica’s Elastica getting a rerelease found myself listening to it again. Had forgotten how much of a masterpiece it is, sounds as fresh as ever. This was always one of my favourites.

I would like to also confirm that as the worlds 780,34600000 ranked player I am, subject to contract & guaranteed 10 figure prize $, fully on board for LIV 2.0.
I am all in on growing the game.

[NUCLR GOLF @NUCLRGOLF]

🚨✅⛳️ JUST IN — 2-time Asian Tour winner & Range Goats GC’s Ben Campbell has committed to LIV 2.0. The world #1367 tells @_benparsons that “I would definitely stick with LIV next year if we can get LIV 2.0 over the line.” The move marks the 3rd golfer to commit to LIV 2.0, with the 35-year old joining Richard Bland and Cameron Tringale.

Are you fired up?

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

Assuming this is correct you won’t get a clearer pointer than this that LIV is done.
If they can’t retain CH3 then there is about as much chance of them surviving as a beleaguered PM who has lost their whole cabinet’s backing.

[Josh Carpenter @JoshACarpenter]

LIV golfer Charles Howell III will not return to the league for version 2.0, per people familiar. Howell’s contract expired following this season, and one person says he had no intention of re-signing.

Howell, 47, plans to compete on the DP World Tour in 2027.

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

Thomas Pieters from Belgium has confirmed to me he will not be signing up to LIV Golf 2.0. He was a member of Dustin Johnson’s 4 Aces for the last 2 seasons, but plans to play on the DP World Tour next year.

Thomas has won 6 times on the DP World Tour, including a Rolex Series event in 2022. He also competed on the 2016 European Ryder Cup side with a 4-1-0 record at Hazeltine.

It would be great to see him make a run at potentially qualifying for the team for Adare Manor 🇪🇺 🇧🇪

“Player freedom is the reason LIV golf was created”😂

[NUCLR GOLF @NUCLRGOLF]

🚨👀⛳️ #BREAKING — Lawyers for the LIV Golf League said in bankruptcy court today that they “anticipate that the decision will be made by the end of the month” with regards to winding down or moving forward with LIV 2.0.

They also expressed serious concern surrounding recent DPWT announcements regarding player bans: “We're continuing to monitor this situation very closely, and we're quite concerned by it, frankly..”

“Frankly, the timing in particular strikes us as a clear attempt to interfere with our process, with our players, and potentially our reorganization…..”

"Player freedom is the reason LIV Golf was created, and it's the foundation of LIV Golf 2.0. ...It's unfortunate that another tour is taking an opposite view and pressuring our players with a false choice. And again, we're reserving all rights in this respect…”

Thoughts on the statements?

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

There’s a Texas event as well so maybe we see him in that.

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

Was listening to this weeks @NoLayingUp pod where they referenced Spieth’s comments about game coming around nicely & just needs to play more.
Tracks coming up like Bermuda, Mexico, RSM are perfect for him. Hope I’m wrong but what’s the betting he doesn’t play any of them.

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

The closest anology I can think of to whats happening between LIV & LIV players at the mo is that of the fading rockstar who finds out who his real friends were when the parties and the money suddenly all dry up.

[Josh Carpenter @JoshACarpenter]

Abraham Ancer will not be competing on LIV 2.0, per sources. Ancer’s contract expired after this season, and he plans to play on the DP World Tour in 2027.

Ancer made the decision not to renew this spring. He made his debut with the league at its second event in 2022.

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

By my reckoning there will be about 80 American golfers on the PGA Tour next season between the top 125 & those just graduated from the KF.
Four of them so 5% approx will be named Davis. Is Davis really that popular a name in the US?!

[Korn Ferry Tour @KornFerryTour]

✍️ Officially official.

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2026 TourBound class!

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

@Sportisboss @slicedpod I can see him winning on PGA Tour next yr. Went to college out there so should be comfortable in n US. I think he makes the Ryder Cup team.

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

@russelljlaming For sure, this week putted great but he obviously turned to it for a reason. You can count on one hand [well one or two fingers more like] the amount of Majors won using one.

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

@JWorsley89 Well done again Jamie! Glad I slept through JT’s horror show.

[Martin Mathews @Sundogmonkey]

A miserable final day for us in Japan as JT has a shocker & Sungjae finishes a shot out of the places. Grateful for the fact I at least slept through it all.
