Thrilled to announce that I've accepted a new chapter in my career, working as an Associate Director I at ESPN.
I'm incredibly grateful for the invaluable experiences and wonderful people at Tupelo Honey – thank you for the memories and growth. Excited for what lies ahead!
A note from Clifford Roberts to American Express (the Masters' first TV sponsor) on limited commercial time in 1958: "The average golf fan takes his golf pretty seriously. Nothing but extreme annoyance could result from untimely, too long or too frequent commercials."
Love the tour being on espn this afternoon. Don’t love the fact that there’s no sound from the course. No audio from Torrey, just studio guys in Ponte Vedra doing commentary. Not exactly putting the best foot forward.
After careful thought and consideration, my family and I have decided that I will no longer compete on the LIV Golf Tour.
I am excited to announce that I am returning to the PGA TOUR as a past champion member for the 2027 season and am eligible to begin competing in PGA TOUR events later this year.
I will continue to compete and play as an Honorary Lifetime Member on the DP World Tour, which is something that I am truly honored and excited to do.
I’m a traditionalist at heart, and I was born to play on the PGA TOUR, which is where my story began with my wife, Justine.
I am very fortunate for the opportunities that have come my way and grateful for the life we have created. I am moving forward in my career, and I look forward to competing on the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour. I can’t wait to get back out there and revisit some of the best places on earth.
I want to thank everyone involved for helping me make this decision. Over the last four years, I have learned a lot about myself, about who I am and who I am not, and for that I am forever grateful.
To Dustin Johnson, The Aces, and LIV Golf, I want to thank you for the memories we shared and created together.
To golf fans around the world, I just want to thank you all for your continued support over the years. I just ask that you respect the decision we have made for our family, our children, and our future. Thank you for your continued support.

ESPN producer Bill Bonnell & director Jimmy Platt, which lead our SEC on ABC crew that captured the @sportsemmys win for Outstanding Live Series last year, are again overseeing our #NationalChampionship production... their 3rd championship together and Bonnell's 17th straight!
Today as the Dead faithful celebrated the life of Bob Weir, John Mayer delivered perhaps the only “Ripple” that’s ever made me smile-cry… Highly suggest.😔
