Happy Friday. PGA Tour pro Michael Kim just broke down the complex financial reality of tour life, revealing how quickly $5 million in earnings gets whittled down after expenses and taxes. The Cal grad walked through the intricate math on social media, showing the countless costs that chip away at prize money—from caddie payments and travel to equipment, coaching, and agent fees. Kim's breakdown also highlighted the tax complexity of earning money across multiple states throughout the season, with different implications for each tournament location. The calculation doesn't even factor in endorsement deals, which for many players represents their biggest income source. While the final number is still substantial, Kim's analysis shows just how much financial complexity comes with being a touring professional that fans might not realize. ⬇️

📰 GOLF STORIES

🎥 U.S. Adaptive Open golfer hits a dart

Blind golfer Amanda Cunha just threw an absolute dart at the U.S. Adaptive Open that would make Scottie Scheffler jealous. Despite having Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy—a rare genetic disease that damages the optic nerve and causes loss of central vision—Cunha stuck a dangerous approach shot to 10 feet with water left and bunkers long. Using only peripheral vision and accurate yardages from her caddie, the Hawaiian golfer played the shot from the middle of the fairway, showing her accuracy off the tee matches her precision with irons. The incredible highlight from Woodmont Country Club perfectly captures the resilience and spirit of all U.S. Adaptive Open competitors who refuse to let physical challenges stop their golf dreams. ⬇️

⛳️ Update re: The viral golf course fight

Former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky is under investigation by his current hockey team after a viral Fourth of July golf course brawl where he allegedly tossed another golfer into a pond multiple times. Red Deer Minor Hockey, where Tarnasky coaches their U17 team, said they're conducting an internal investigation into the incident at Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer, Alberta. The wild fight shows another man charging at the ex-Florida Panthers tough guy, only to get repeatedly thrown into the water and pummeled with punches before bystanders intervened. While Canadian police closed their investigation after arriving to find the suspect gone, Tarnasky's employer is taking the matter seriously. The former NHL brawler's playing career ended in 2009-10 after stints with Tampa Bay, Nashville, and Florida. ⬇️
