  Medinah Madness & Scheffler's Millions - September 28th, 2026

  Sep 28, 20267 min

  On September 28th, 2026, we unpack the wild Sunday singles at Medinah, where rookie Jacob Bridgeman clinched the Presidents Cup amidst crowd controversies, presidential cameos, and historic financial milestones. PRESIDENTS CUP DRAMA & TRUMP'S TEE TIME Donald Trump arrived at Medinah via Air Force One to protests, delivering a bizarre 27-second first-tee speech. Journalist Adam Schupak quickly fact-checked the former president's claims, revealing a denied 15-minute speech request. "You know the fake news media will say I got a very bad reception... I do not have the courage to make a speech." — Donald Trump Ignoring all the off-course noise and political theater, rookie Jacob Bridgeman stepped up to sink a clinching three-and-a-half-foot putt on the 18th green to seal the tournament. SCHEFFLER'S SPORTSMANSHIP & CHICAGO CROWDS The Chicago crowd turned hostile during Sunday singles, with a fan screaming during Nico Echavarria's backswing. In response, Scottie Scheffler immediately conceded Echavarria's 32-foot par putt before he even addressed the ball. The broadcast praised Scheffler for an "absolutely touch of class," though the world No. 1—who won the match 2&1—later demanded the crowd stay silent during actual shots. Scheffler's ultimate display of golf etiquette proves that even in the heat of a fierce international team competition, player respect still trumps home-field advantage. THE BUSINESS OF GOLF & SCHEFFLER'S ALLOWANCE Presidents Cup players now receive a $250,000 flat stipend—a massive leap from Mark O'Meara's 1996 protest over a $10,000 fee. Meanwhile, Scheffler has officially shattered Tiger Woods's career earnings record. Scheffler has amassed a staggering $130,390,000 in career earnings in just seven seasons, vastly outperforming his $37,500 Olympic payout. Despite his record-breaking wealth, Scheffler still gets a weekly allowance, joking he uses a financial helper "because I am a child and I cannot keep track of all that stuff." Quick Hits Brian Rolapp introduced Trump's brief first-tee speech • Scheffler relies on his financial helper to figure out "how much we are paying Ted" • Rory McIlroy's $350M net worth (driven by Nike and TMRW Sports) heavily contrasts Scheffler's strictly on-course earnings empire.

  Scheffler Benched, LIV Bankrupt & LPGA History - September 27th, 2026

  Sep 26, 20267 min

  On September 27th, 2026, we break down a wild Presidents Cup Saturday featuring Scottie Scheffler's unprecedented benching, Lauren Coughlin's record-breaking LPGA front nine, and the massive fallout from LIV Golf's sudden bankruptcy. PRESIDENTS CUP AT MEDINAH U.S. Captain Brandt Snedeker made the unprecedented call to bench World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler for Saturday afternoon foursomes as the Americans faced an 8.5 to 5.5 deficit, citing Scheffler's dismal 1-7 alternate shot record. Snedeker explained, "I feel like Scottie has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and it is time for us to carry him," to which Scheffler classily replied he was looking forward to supporting the guys. Saturday morning was pure chaos, featuring Justin Thomas hitting left-handed against a fence—prompting the internet to joke that "ONE OF US" is a dangerous phrase for a major champ—and a fan kicking Corey Conners' out-of-bounds ball back into play. LPGA TOUR IN ARKANSAS Lauren Coughlin etched her name into the history books during Saturday's round, firing an LPGA-record 26 on the front nine with nine consecutive birdies, drawing immediate comparisons to Annika Sorenstam's legendary 59 in 2001. Charley Hull also shined with a gritty 6-under 65 despite battling tonsillitis, admitting, "I nearly pulled out of this week because I felt like I was not prepared enough." Hull managed to put together her spectacular round despite being completely bed-bound leading up to the tournament. LIV GOLF BANKRUPTCY FALLOUT The collapse of LIV Golf has left its biggest stars in limbo, with PGA Tour executive Brian Rolapp confirming there is no path back for the defectors as the financial and competitive realities set in. Cameron Smith expressed deep anxiety over his major exemptions expiring in 2027, admitting, "We are in a bit of a limbo... We need a few more answers." Bryson DeChambeau is reportedly owed $5.77 million in the bankruptcy and took to social media with a cryptic and somber post simply reading, "It was a good run." Quick Hits Paul McGinley questions U.S. prep despite Friday sweep, asking if they studied Medinah's "different exam" • Rules official Mark Dusbabek clarifies the drop rule after a fan deliberately kicked Corey Conners' ball • U.S. faces an 8.5 to 5.5 deficit heading into the Saturday afternoon foursomes Hosted on Acast.

  Medinah’s Political Circus & LIV Golf’s Massive Pivot - September 26th, 2026

  Sep 25, 20267 min

  On September 26th, 2026, the golf world collided with politics at Medinah, LIV Golf faced a massive financial restructuring, and the next generation of Woods made major collegiate moves. PGA TOUR / MEDINAH The final round at Medinah turned into a political and logistical circus as Donald Trump arrived in a custom $11,299 Club Car, sparking a sharp divide between local politicians and Tour players amidst the PGA's big-city push. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker declared Trump is "neither wanted here nor needed here," while Sam Burns countered that it's "important that we do support our president," and Patrick Cantlay likened the Tour's slow market transition to turning "an oil tanker around." Former NBA MVP Derrick Rose actually provided the floral arrangements for the first tee. LIV GOLF A leaked 2027 restructuring plan reveals a seismic shift for LIV Golf, as the Saudi PIF is officially ending its funding, forcing the league to drastically shrink its schedule and slash tournament payouts. A $300M injection from BC Partners will keep the league afloat, but purses are being slashed to $5.5M-$9.5M per tournament. The schedule will shrink to just 10 events, drastically altering the lifestyle and earning potential for the league's defectors. CHARLIE WOODS & THE NEXT GEN Charlie Woods is officially heading to Florida State University, bringing with him a massive $3M NIL valuation and a brand new TaylorMade hardware deal as he takes his next major step in the golf world. Despite the hype, Charlie admitted his putting needs work, joking, "JT tried to teach me AimPoint... and I failed miserably." Kai Trump is also making collegiate waves, though her debut was derailed by a wrist injury requiring stem cells because, as she put it, "I can get better without getting surgery." WOMEN'S GOLF The women's game is facing a bizarre mix of existential dread and pop-culture crossover, with players sounding the alarm on viewership while others are busy defending celebrity endorsements and brushing off online controversies. Mel Reid expressed heartbreak over plummeting Solheim Cup TV ratings, stating, "I do not know what the heck we are doing so wrong." Charley Hull brushed off the controversy surrounding Sydney Sweeney's Novig commercial, defending the actress by saying, "She has got a great figure... people are making a big hoo hah over absolutely nothing." Quick Hits Scottie Scheffler weighed in on the PGA Tour's big-city push • Charley Hull took time to praise John Daly • Jack Sock shared a brutal story of missing a 2017 Augusta tee time due to the Paris Masters finals ("He is sending pictures from Augusta and I am kind of mad") Hosted on Acast.

  Medinah’s Dead Crowd & A Mid-Round Caddie Walk-Off - September 25th, 2026

  Sep 25, 20267 min

  On September 25th, 2026, the US grabbed a 3-2 lead at a surprisingly subdued Presidents Cup, while massive financial shockwaves hit the DP World Tour and LIV Golf. PRESIDENTS CUP AT MEDINAH Despite Captain Brandt Snedeker pleading for "savages," the Chicago crowd was shockingly quiet as the US took a 3-2 lead. Local fan Steve Harry noted they want a "gentleman's game" to avoid 2025 Bethpage toxicity. Wyndham Clark said it was "kind of dead out there," noting fans didn't even clap for Collin Morikawa’s 5-wood on the 11th hole during their win over Adam Scott and Ryan Fox. International assistant captain Taylor Pendrith got his official call from Geoff Ogilvy while in the middle of setting up his mother-in-law's 60th birthday party. BILTMORE CHAMPIONSHIP & THE CADDIE ECONOMY Alejandro Tosti’s unpaid caddie, Cliff Ellis, walked off on the 8th hole over an umbrella dispute, forcing Tosti to use a fan on the bag amidst accusations of Airbnb cigarette ashes. Jim "Bones" Mackay notes week-to-week caddies face $40,000 to $50,000 in expenses, a stark contrast to Ted Scott’s massive $2.6 million year on Scottie Scheffler's bag. Before making it big, Ben Griffin was $20,000 in debt and nearly quit professional golf to become a mortgage loan officer. DP WORLD TOUR & LIV GOLF FINANCES The global golf landscape is shaking as the DP World Tour reported a massive $72 million loss for 2025, while LIV Golf's Chapter 11 bankruptcy has former strongholds eyeing a return. The DP World Tour's massive deficit stems directly from a staggering £43.6 million media rights collapse. Valderrama GM Javier Reveriego admitted they "cannot rule out" returning to the DP World Tour following LIV's bankruptcy filing. WTGL ROSTER MOVES Lexi Thompson is officially joining the WTGL's Motor City Golf Club despite being six months pregnant, while Nelly Korda has opted out of the league entirely over its gender-segregated format. "Being pregnant does not stop you," Thompson declared about her decision to compete alongside players like Madelene Sagstrom and Stacy Lewis. Thompson's commitment highlights a growing divide in how top players are viewing the new league's structural format. Quick Hits Sam Burns's 172-yard 8-iron made Scottie Scheffler and Ted Scott audibly gasp • Geoff Ogilvy's Medinah redesign is officially in play • Tosti's caddie parted ways with a simple "Good luck" Hosted on Acast.

  Medinah’s Presidents Cup Preview & Rai’s Historic PGA Win - September 24th, 2026

  Sep 23, 20267 min

  On September 24th, 2026, we preview the rain-soaked Presidents Cup at Medinah, recap Aaron Rai's historic PGA Championship victory at Aronimink, and break down major global schedule shifts across the Masters and LPGA. PRESIDENTS CUP AT MEDINAH Heavy rains have turned Geoff Ogilvy’s brutal Medinah No. 3 redesign into a bomber's paradise. With 117 new bunkers, the US Team navigates pairing psychology while the Internationals face a massive uphill battle. Brandel Chamblee on the International team's 78-point ranking deficit: "It is not Mount Everest, it is probably more like Mons Olympus on Mars." 21-year-old rookie Jackson Koivun endured the "bachelor WAGs photo" hazing tradition (previously suffered by Rickie Fowler and Viktor Hovland), while Sam Burns teased his partner "starts with an S" amid debates over the fear of pairing with Scottie Scheffler. AARON RAI'S PGA CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY Aaron Rai fired a spectacular final-round 65 at Aronimink to capture the 2026 PGA Championship, becoming the first Englishman to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy in over a century. Rai is the first Englishman to win the PGA Championship since Jim Barnes accomplished the feat in 1919. Rai famously wears two gloves and uses iron covers to honor his father Amrik’s sacrifices in Wolverhampton, having learned the game by studying Tiger Woods' 1994-1996 US Amateur VHS tapes. 2027 MASTERS & LPGA SCHEDULE SHIFTS Augusta National is expanding its global reach for 2027, granting Masters exemptions to the winners of six international opens, while the LPGA makes a controversial pivot to a Saudi-backed event. Fred Ridley stated, "The Masters Tournament has a longstanding history of assembling an international field, so we embrace this opportunity to highlight the global nature of the game of golf." The LPGA's schedule update sees the historic ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open at Dundonald Links officially replaced by the PIF London Championship. Quick Hits Collin Morikawa notes Medinah's new holes 1-3 split-rail fence acts as a two-shot penalty • Chamblee calls the Clark/Morikawa vs. Fox/Scott matchup a "mismatch" based on birdie percentages • Donald Trump is confirmed to attend Sunday's singles matches at Medinah Hosted on Acast.
