It took LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau 12 days to accomplish his latest feat, but he got the job done on Friday. Over the past 12 days, the golfer has been attempting to chip a plastic ball from the first level of a house to the second level of the home. Seems easy enough, but […]

LIV Golf’s season is rolling on after David Burmester won at Bolingbrook Golf Club in Illinois. Bryson DeChambeau was there, finishing T14 after a rough Sunday round.

The PGA Tour is coming off yet another thrilling finish, as Keegan Bradley pulled out a wild victory at the Travelers Championship.

There are 12 members of LIV Golf in the field at this week’s Masters Tournament. Many of them are considered among the world’s best, including Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka.

A lot has been made of the division within professional golf. The emergence of LIV Golf in 2022 split the sport, with several top PGA Tour stars jumping ship. Maybe the biggest name at that time to make the change was five-time major winner Brooks Koepka. In recent months, rumors surfaced that Koepka was unhappy […]

TGL is back on Tuesday night with a matchup between Jupiter Links Golf Club and The Bay Golf Club. The simulator league, founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is partly owned by the PGA Tour.

The PGA Tour and Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, or PIF, are still working toward a merger.

Tyrell Hatton is among several elite golfers playing this week at the DP World Tour’s Dubai Desert Classic.

But Liv Golf […]

The rivalry between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf is still bubbling. Despite a framework agreement that could lead to a deal soon, the players are still taking shots at each other in the media. Jon Rahm said before the DP World Tour’s Dubai Desert Classic that golf is in a golden era, but Rory […]

Jon Rahm is coming off a highly successful first season on LIV Golf. Rahm won the season-long championship for LIV, mostly dominating the Saudi-funded circuit. His participation with LIV disallows him from playing in any PGA Tour events currently. But the same rule does not apply to the DP World Tour. Rahm is in the […]

Earlier this week, LIV Golf star Kevin Na proposed that all winners plus the top 16 players on the Saudi-funded tour should be exempt into all four majors the following season. It is not a new sentiment, but one that remains to rub many people the wrong way. Fellow LIV captain Joaquin Niemann followed up […]

Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau were once arch-enemies. They have since buried that hatchet, especially after leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. But the animosity that fueled a rivalry was so high for a while. As it turns out, Koepka had it all wrong, though. Koepka and DeChambeau recently joined a conference call together […]

Since its inception in 2022, LIV Golf has made its name by poaching some of the best golfers on the planet. LIV has been able to accomplish that goal through the use of seemingly unlimited funds. They are bankrolled by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). The PIF has an estimated worth of over $900 […]

Since the inception of LIV Golf, the PGA Tour’s rival league has slowly peeled away one star after another. One year ago, Jon Rahm became the most prominent figure in golf to jump ship. Throughout the 2024 season, many wondered who would be next, with Tony Finau being one player consistently floated around. Well, the […]

The Ryder Cup is arguably the most prestigious event in all of golf. Yes, it is an individual sport, and therefore, the four majors are where legacies are made. But the Ryder Cup has a special significance, filled with national pride. Every two years, the best Americans and Europeans square off, drawing all eyes in […]

Since the inception of LIV Golf, the golfing world has been shaken to its core. The PGA Tour has seen some of its top-end talent peeled away by the Saudi-funded rival.

The great schism between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf has persisted longer than many expected. The self-imposed deadline to get a deal done has come and gone.

Bubba Watson was once a growing legend on the PGA Tour. His miraculous wedge shot from the pine straw during a playoff in the 2012 Masters helped him win his first Green Jacket. He would then win another two years later. That feels like a century ago, though. Watson, he took the bag to leave […]

There was a time when Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau appeared to be mortal enemies when both golfers were members of the PGA Tour. That may no longer be the case as the two LIV Golf stars are teaming up and will take on Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy in a prime time matchup known […]

Reports surfaced on Tuesday that LIV Golf is searching for a new commissioner, per Sports Business Journal. Two-time major champion Greg Norman has held the role since the inception of the tour.

The PGA Tour has lost tons of stars in the golfing world to the upstart LIV Golf league. But no one as big as Jon Rahm, who reportedly ditched the PGA Tour for nearly a half billion dollars. But that did not mean that the Spanish pro didn’t miss playing on the world’s best circuit. […]
