Presented by:

Happy Wednesday. Chaz Bowker became the Internet Invitational's breakout star, gaining 27,000 Instagram followers in one week after his Episode 3 performance while spreading awareness for adaptive golf. The 4'4" YouTuber who competed in three U.S. Adaptive Opens told The Loop podcast "if you have a swing, swing it" after sinking a pair of $12,000 putts. Bowker started creating content during COVID and five years later found himself in one of golf's most-watched events, proving disabilities don't limit what's possible with determination and authenticity. ⬇️

📰 GOLF STORIES

⛳️ LIV Golf’s new ideas won’t matter…

LIV Golf switching to 72-hole events in 2026 abandons its literal name—L-I-V representing 54 holes—proving format changes never mattered because they never got the players needed to defeat the PGA Tour. The league's innovations like smaller fields and signature events ironically strengthened the Tour's position while LIV hemorrhages money without top Americans willing to play in Singapore at 3:30 a.m. ET. They can rake in OWGR points and make Graeme McDowell wear pants, but none of it changes anything. It was always about the players, never the format. ⬇️

👀 Rory gives a “reasonable” response

Rory McIlroy gave a reasonable response when asked who hits it longer between him and Marco Penge at the Abu Dhabi Championship, saying "He should be longer. He's nine years younger than me." The stats are razor-thin: Rory averages 320.3 yards to Penge's 319.19, with both ranking top-three in strokes gained/off-the-tee. Penge said "Obviously I want to be past him and I'm sure he wants to be hitting it past me." Poor Tyrrell Hatton ranks 78th in driving distance, so he'll be hitting approach shots first. ⬇️

🤔 Pace of play offenses

Sleepy Hollow Country Club's "Pace of Play Offenses" sheet went viral for shaming members who played over four hours, with some flagged for just 4:12 or 4:16. Golf Twitter erupted questioning whether the "play faster" brigade has gone too far, arguing golf should be an escape where you enjoy the scenery, not a sprint back to reality. Private clubs can set whatever policies they want, but shaming people for going 12 minutes over at a scenic course like Sleepy Hollow seems excessive. Stop and smell the roses, people. ⬇️
