⛳️ LIV Golf is getting stingy (kinda)

Presented by:

Happy Wednesday. LIV Golf just delivered a harsh reality check to its biggest stars: the nine-figure signing bonuses that lured them away from the PGA Tour won't be repeated in contract renewals. Players like Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau originally signed deals worth over $100 million each, but those mega-money offers are off the table moving forward. Dustin Johnson faces the most immediate decision with his contract expiring this year after struggling through missed cuts at both the Masters and PGA Championship. Former Masters champion Fred Couples claims Koepka "really wants to come back" to the PGA Tour, though Koepka has remained coy about his future plans beyond fulfilling his current LIV obligations. ⬇️

📰 GOLF STORIES

⛳️ Angel Cabrera wins 2nd major in 6 days

Angel Cabrera just captured his second major championship in six days, edging Padraig Harrington by one shot at the Senior PGA Championship after a dramatic finish at Congressional. The former Masters and U.S. Open champion, who won the weather-delayed Regions Tradition on Monday, nearly blew his lead with a wayward drive and three-putt bogey on the 72nd hole. Meanwhile, Harrington watched helplessly from the media room after missing a three-footer for par on 18, having earlier made double-bogey on the 15th due to what he called his "lifelong problem with getting confident and cocky." Cabrera's remarkable run—three Champions Tour wins in seven weeks—comes less than two years after his release from a 30-month prison sentence for domestic assault. ⬇️

🙏 A monk will play in the Open Championship

Thai golfer Sadom Kaewkanjana just earned his return to the Open Championship in the most inspiring way possible—three years after taking a two-week break from professional golf to become an ordained Buddhist monk. The 2022 Open T11 finisher at St. Andrews captured the Kolon Korea Open on Sunday, securing automatic qualification for Royal Portrush in July. Kaewkanjana's monastic hiatus followed Thai tradition for men over 20, with the golfer crediting the experience for helping him "feel more calm" and concentrate better. "I was cut off from the rest of the world when I was ordained," he explained after returning to competition. His victory marks his first individual win since the 2022 Singapore Open and completes a remarkable journey from monastery to major championship. ⬇️

💣 All PGA pros cheat (apparently)

Former U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover just dropped a bombshell accusation - most PGA Tour pros cheat driver testing by submitting backup clubs instead of their real gamers. "Most guys don't give them their real driver anyway," Glover revealed on his SiriusXM show, explaining players keep two drivers in their bags specifically to fool officials with the old switcheroo. The controversy gained steam after Rory McIlroy was forced to use a new driver at the PGA Championship when his Masters-winning club failed inspection, contributing to his struggles at Quail Hollow. Glover's solution? Test everyone at majors since they bring together players from fractured tours under one roof. "If we're going be on an equal playing field, let's make sure we're playing under the same rules," he argued. ⬇️
