It was only a matter of time.
What a bizarre chapter in Pro Golf, and Pro Sports in general. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
BC Partners is pulling out of its deal to invest $300M into the LIV Golf League, and barring a last-minute buyer, the breakaway circuit is likely headed toward a liquidation of its assets, sources told ESPN.
The Financial Times was first to report the news. spr.ly/6012BHLaZa

Yesterday I received over 1,800 e-mails & today it’s starting back up again with 300+ e-mails in the last 20 mins.
Why are we in such a rush to grant unlimited resources & unlimited power to A.I. when they can go rogue and do harm at any time, Smh!! #RegulationNeeded #LimitAI 🤦🏽♂️

Have to give respect where respect is due.
Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the modern day Big Men who has revolutionized the 5 position as a stretch Forward who is a high level Shooter & stretches the floor. Very underrated career & was a huge part of the Knicks Championship!

He’s done it 🥇
24 year old Tom Kim from South Korea shoots a final round 6 under par 64 to win the Asian Games individual gold medal by 3 shots and earn an exemption from mandatory military service for his country.
He flew straight from the Presidents Cup to Japan with one goal on his mind. He hit the front, slept on the lead, knew exactly what was at stake and emphatically got it across the line. Nerves of steel.
Tom Kim flew to Japan after the Presidents Cup to compete for South Korea at the Asian Games. After 3 rounds, he currently leads both the individual and the team event by 1 shot and if he wins either, he earns an exemption from mandatory military service for his country.
Huge day ahead for the 24 year old tomorrow.

For more than a century, Canada ran residential schools. Over 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from their families and their communities and forced to attend these schools.
Survivors carried the truth when this country would not. What we do with these truths is our responsibility.
This morning in Edmonton, we gathered to honour the Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and stand with the families and communities who carry that loss.
Today is Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation; A day to acknowledge the tragic and painful history of residential schools in Canada. Let’s remember and honour Survivors and the children who never got to come home. #NDTR

“I’m not really championship-chasing, trying to find the best team I could win. I didn’t want to put on a thousand jerseys.”
“My son was born here. He’s been asking me forever when he’s going to come back.”
“Now he’s back, he’s able to see it rather than me telling him the great stories.”
❤️❤️❤️

Kawhi Leonard:
“You guys were VERY aggressive last year, playing against you guys and watching. It was fun.”
“I’m not here to take over anything. I want to help your vision. Help Scottie, whatever. I just want to win.”
“If it’s Scottie’s team, it’s his team. I just want to do whatever it takes to help you guys win.”
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yesterday I caddied for a group with more money than they could spend in many, many lifetimes.
And I'll admit, there was a period during the loop where I felt envious. They were talking about trip after trip after trip that they had planned all over the world. Multiple homes. Dinner plans at expensive restaurant. Etc.
But today I get to have the joy of morning coffee in my comfy chair. I get to walk a beautiful golf course and come home with some cash in my pocket to pay the bills. I have leftover Chinese in the fridge. NFL is starting. I have great followers on X who support the mission at the Sober House. My family is healthy. I'm healthy.
Turns out, I'm rich!
Happy Sunday, Friends! Rooting for you!
"Why do people play golf?" Sean Connery was once asked, and he gave a brilliant answer.
"If you play golf, you can’t think, honestly, or do anything else while you’re playing.
"I think it’s the most revealing game. I don’t know if it’s a game. It’s something other than a game. I couldn’t define it.
"But it’s obsessive and revealing and a very healthy balancing act, I think. It certainly is for me, and also it’s one of the few games in the world that’s really still got dignity as a game.
"It’s endless, and as Jack Nicklaus says, it’s an unfair game and you have to accept it. It’s like life in that way.
"It’s also a game that you can cheat it. It’s the easiest game in the world to cheat at. The only one that suffers is you, because you know. And you can’t unknow."
