Happy Hump Day. Rory McIlroy's comments about welcoming back LIV Golf players just backfired spectacularly. After telling Tour pros to 'get over it,' a prominent analyst revealed how golf's biggest star is completely out of touch with reality - and his fellow players have had enough. ⬇️

🐝 Stinger of the Day

🎙️ The Starter

Last Starter: 50% of readers knew that Scottie Scheffler's first major victory was the Masters (2022). Speaking of golf's craftiest player, he found a brilliant loophole in the rules at Genesis last week. After his ball took the worst bounce imaginable, Scheffler's savvy use of a tournament sign got him two free drops that nobody saw coming. ⬇️

📰 GOLF STORIES

👟 Trump Tracker

Donald Trump's golf habit is already raising eyebrows in his second term. A viral tracker shows he's spent 24% of his presidency on the course, and some people think he should actually play more. ⬇️

🥜 Boom, Roasted

LIV Golf's new boss just had his first Greg Norman moment. After claiming LIV has all the best players in the world, Scott O'Neil is getting roasted by golf's top analysts - and the numbers tell a completely different story. ⬇️

📬 You’ve got mail

There's a golf mailing list more coveted than your Masters invite. One retiree sends 350 people a 16-page breakdown of his entire golf year, tracking everything from free rounds to bloody ball-hawking injuries - and getting on this list might be tougher than qualifying for Augusta. ⬇️

⛳️ Tony Chip-Ins

Tony Finau just did something so ridiculous at Torrey Pines last weekend that the stats guys had to go back 40 years. Three chip-ins in eight holes helped him shoot 67 while missing half the greens, and even he couldn't believe what was happening. ⬇️

🍻 THE PARKING LOT

The Purest Golf Course in Australia ⬇️

• 📸 Trump poses for picture with Bills players at golf course (Bills fans are pissed)

• 🤬 Rory Mcllroy snaps at fan over caddie criticism (“shut the f*** up”)

• 😱 Nelly Korda absolutely roasted Keegan Bradley for his TGL look

• ⛳️ ‘But Then, What is a Divot?’ - Jon Rahm weighs in on the most controversial rule in golf (seriously)

🎰 LOCK FACTORY

Aberg Wins

I sincerely hope everyone who reads this bet on Ludvig Aberg - not only a Top 10 finish, but an outright win! I’ll tell you one thing - watching him sink that putt on 18 felt really good (+2200 payout).

Anyways, this week is a little bit lighter with the Mexico Open, and a much weaker field than last weekend.

Only two picks this week, but these two guys have been red hot and are sure to make you some money:

• Akshay Bhatia Top 10 (+190)

• Patrick Rodgers Top 10 (+260)

After last week, you might as well bet them to win outright as well. You don't want to miss another big-time payday on Sunday.
