Rory McIlroy’s mouth on brand at the Memorial: Gets asked about Adam Scott’s remarkable feat of 100 consecutive major starts and instantly flips it to a bitter dig at LIV Golf v PGA Tour loyalists.
Rors, the gold standard of class and grace. 🙄
It's fascinating to see how different the women play Riviera vs. the men.
The split fairway on No. 8 is a prime example — at the Genesis, the guys all blast it left. But at the USWO, most players are going right.
Walked with Auston Kim yesterday to find out why @TheAthletic:
Long drivers, beware.
The New York Knicks All-Star can hit 400-yard drives despite never having taken an actual lesson. 🤯

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.
As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.
But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.
After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?
Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?
Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).
Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?
The editors said it was too much, they explained.
The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.
It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.
And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.
Still fawning after all these years.
Top tier smugness. Peak wrongness.

“The days of Cam Smith making highlight reel putts in majors is long gone. LIV Golf ruined his career.”
- Brandel Chamblee
Also: Cam Smith today at the PGA CHAMPIONSHIP (a “major”) making a highlight reel putt.
Golf Channel drops another masterclass in serious sports journalism! 🙄
Want balanced analysis on the future of LIV Golf? Nah. Let’s wheel out the two biggest smear merchants in the game — Eamon Lynch and Brandel Chamblee — for another circle-jerk of hot takes and selective outrage.
Lynch, especially, rolling up with those painfully pre-written “one-liners” that land like a shank into the water — “picking one snowflake out of a blizzard,” “selling a deck on the Titanic”… bruh, we can hear the script in your head. Next-level cringe.
Peak professional coping.
Golf Channel: where credibility goes to die. 🤡

Imagine these 20 in the field ahead of 22-year-old burgeoning Spanish superstar Josele Ballester, whose last 5 starts are 5th, 3rd, 3rd, 12th, 6th — against the likes of Rahm, DJ, Bryson, Niemann, etc. Total snub. He’s ranked 118th in the world despite LIV getting limited points. Should have been given an invite over McKibbin.
Rory so on brand.
Rory: “I’m not going to judge the LIV Golf guys for not wanting to play on the PGA TOUR.”
Also, Rory: “And if you don't want to play here, I think that says something about you.”
Reminds me of the quote by Rory’s former mgr, “Chubby” Chandler: “Put a mic in front of Rory and it’s almost a guaranteed he’ll insult someone — whether he means to or not. He’s a gift to the media.”

PGA TOUR CEO Brian Rolapp tells ESPN’s Rich Eisen that their new social media policy has “been in the works for almost a year” — it being rushed out mid season, in the middle of a sig event, and only days after Bryson DeChambeau complained about their video policy is purely coincidental 😂
#PGATour #LIVGolf
If you’re Cadillac (or any sponsor or fan) and watching this snoozefest at Trump Doral w the robotic Cam Young and emotionless Scottie Scheffler, you are wondering how the PGA TOUR has so mismanaged things that four of this generation’s most electric brightest box office stars are sitting home.
Is that good for golf?
Brian Rolapp has failed to deliver. #PGATOUR #LIVGOLF
LOST PLOT: Brandel Chamblee suggests the Brooks Koepka $5M struggle session is too lenient for Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau (both top-4 betting favs for each of the remaining 2026 majors). The LIV Golf critic wants the two-time major champs sent to Q School (if the pair ever wants back on Tour) 🤨👌
