If Koepka had played any competitive golf the last 8 months he might have had a chance. Another Spaniard wins the Masters!

Congrats to Phil.  Has to be the best finish for a guy as old as him at the Masters.

LIV having 2/3 in the top 3 is nice for them. Wouldn’t surprise me if they sign Rahm for next year.

Zero chance. Rahm is obsessed with legacy and history. Not money. I would be utterly floored if he signed with LIV. LIV will likely be gone in 2 years.

Lefty bringing the heat and Brooks not coming to play on Sunday were the stories for me.

Back to LIV. They had a surprisingly good showing at the top of the leaderboard, but I don’t think this does anything to move the needle for them. Fans have largely drawn their lines, and LIVs ratings were beyond abysmal.

You sign the guy who was the world #1 you're gonna have a good showing. Mickelson was a huge surprise, maybe it's something about being an older guy and not playing as much or under as much pressure helping your body. He looks pretty fit, good for him.

Don’t think I’m quite understanding this statement.

They got Cam Smith right after he won The Open.  I wouldn't put it past them.  Its more money and less work.  Eventually the PGA will let the guys come back and play.

Remember, LIV is not preventing their guys from playing PGA events. It's the other way around.

Again, I don’t think Rahm is motivated by money. You can’t tell me LIV hasn’t dangled big bucks in front of Rahm, Rory, and Scottie already. Anything is possible, but I’d be very surprised if Rahm left for LIV. He’s spoken pretty strongly about where his loyalties lie.

"Truth be told, I could retire right now with what I've made and I'd live a very happy life and not play golf again. So I've never really played the game of golf for monetary reasons. I play for the love of the game, and I want to play against the best in the world. I've always been interested in history and legacy, and right now the PGA Tour has that." - Jon Rahm

It's pretty crazy what passes for cleverness around here.
