Happy Hump Day. Have you ever tried playing golf in reverse? Believe it or not, that’s how the game was originally played at the Home of Golf, St. Andrews. For three days in April 2025, the historic reverse layout is making a comeback. This unique approach was the norm until the 1870s. What does golf in reverse even look like? Find out. ↙️

Earl Woods is a polarizing figure—praised by many for shaping Tiger into the legendary golfer he became, yet criticized by others for taking it too far. Tiger spent countless daily hours watching Earl hit golf balls —talk about mirror neurons. But what was the most important lesson Earl passed on to Tiger? Spoiler: Tiger was 4 years old at the time.

⛳️ PGA/LIV Golf Merger Update

It’s finally happening. Knock on wood. No seriously, knock on wood. The 2 year PGA/LIV golf saga is seemingly coming to an end.

The highlights:

  • LIV Golf will pay and become part of the PGA Tour.

  • The PIF (LIV’s financial backer) will own 6% of the PGA and have board seats.

  • Tiger & Rory played a big role in getting the deal done.

There are still lots of questions and things to iron out, however, it seems like 2025 might be a WE’RE BACK type of year for golf.

🛸 Aliens & Golf

Aliens are real—how could they not be? And apparently, they have a thing for golf courses.

We’ve touched on this before, like the reports of "UFO sightings" above Trump’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.

But now, we’ve got even better footage. These aren’t planes. These aren’t shooting stars. These are bona fide UFOs.

😂 The Greatest Golf Game Ever Created

Yes, that’s the tagline for Trump Golf: The Game, an iOS golf app that Trump is launching. It seems that, with the recent assassination attempts forcing him to take a break from real golf, he’s now playing the game on his phone instead.

Aside from golf, he dropped “Fight Fight Fight” perfume for the Christmas season. The promotional picture? An image of Trump and First Lady Jill Biden together.
