Happy Friday. Justin Thomas tried to show off by FaceTiming Tiger Woods from the 18th hole at East Lake during a practice round, bragging about making the Tour Championship while Tiger didn't qualify. Woods pretended his phone cut out, then called back two minutes later wearing his green jacket as the ultimate power move. Thomas admitted he thought he had "some kind of upper edge" but got "shut down and put in my place pretty quickly." Never come at the King. ⬇️

👀 Own Your Edge

Meet the COOLSHOT 50i GII - the rangefinder changing how golfers see the course. While most rangefinders just give you yardage, Nikon delivers more: slope-adjusted distances, a DUAL LOCKED ON QUAKE feature to confirm you have ranged the flag, a mounting magnet for quick convenient use, and optics so crisp you’ll think you’re looking through a tour pro’s eyes.

People might think rangefinders are clunky, slow, or just plain inaccurate — kind of like using a ball marker the size of a poker chip.The COOLSHOT 50i GII sets a new standard; lightning-fast reads, ergonomic design, and Nikon’s legendary optics - all in one sleek device.

Whether you’re tracking pins on blind shots or dialed in from 220 out, this is the tech you’ll trust under pressure.

The difference isn’t subtle. It’s Nikon. ⬇️

⛳️ Brad Dalke wins Creator Classic

Brad Dalke drained a clutch 7-foot birdie putt in pouring rain to win the Creator Classic and its $100,000 prize at East Lake, with the horn for dangerous weather sounding seconds after the ball dropped. The former Oklahoma standout turned YouTube star for Good Good Golf beat Sean Walsh, Micah Morris, and defending champ Luke Kwon in golf's version of a buzzer beater. Fun fact: Dalke once beat Rory McIlroy in an arm wrestling contest a decade ago. ⬇️

👀 New PGA Tour CEO makes first address

New PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp announced a "Future Competition Committee" focused on creating "scarcity" in golf, hinting at dramatic schedule cuts from the current 46 events to make tournaments "really matter." The former NFL executive went radio silent on LIV Golf merger talks, saying he'll focus on what he "can control" since the "best collection of golfers are on the PGA Tour." His message was clear: sweeping changes are inevitable, and he won't hesitate to dismantle everything. ⬇️

🤔 Should they rehaul the Tour Championship?

A radical Tour Championship overhaul is proposed combining stroke play and match play: 30 players start with 36 holes of stroke play, top 14 make the cut, then Match Play Saturday with the top two seeds getting byes to quarterfinals. The finale would be a four-player stroke play shootout on Sunday between survivors. NBC's Sam Flood endorsed the concept, saying match play "would be dramatic for TV" and "could be one of the great moments in golf." ⬇️
