Happy Wednesday. Donald Trump kicked off Monday morning by blasting the golf ball rollback on social media, calling it part of making sports "sissy" while various domestic and international crises demand attention. The golf-obsessed president questioned whether pros should hit it shorter, though most Americans probably don't care if Rory McIlroy averages 313 yards off the tee instead of 323. Trump's grumbling from the Oval Office could potentially influence the USGA and R&A's decision, setting up a battle between presidential pressure and golf's governing bodies. ⬇️

⛳️ Twin brothers arrested over tee time scandal

Twin brothers Se Youn "Steve" Kim and Hee Youn "Ted" Kim were arrested for owing $1.1 million in taxes from their illicit tee-time brokering scheme that plagued Los Angeles municipal golf courses. The MRI technicians moonlighted as brokers, scooping up public reservations and reselling them through KakaoTalk for $30-40 fees before spending proceeds on Hawaii timeshares, luxury cars, and shopping sprees at Chanel and Cartier. Their arrest vindicated Dave Fink's #FreeTheTee movement that exposed the shadowy operation frustrating L.A. golfers. ⬇️

👀 Urban Meyer is living his best life

Urban Meyer is living his best retirement life, bragging about playing Pebble Beach, Cypress Point, San Francisco Golf Club, Olympic, and Monterey Peninsula in one recent stretch, followed by Shinnecock, National, Westhampton, and Garden City the next week. The former college football coach went from five rounds per year during his 38-year coaching career to playing "a hundy" annually, casually throwing in trips to Ireland and Scotland as afterthoughts. His daughter got him a pin map to track his Top 100 conquests. ⬇️

🤔 Amazon Prime x Masters partnership

Amazon Prime Video will stream the Masters for the first time beginning in 2026, adding two exclusive hours of first and second round coverage from 1-3 p.m. ET before ESPN's broadcast begins. The deal marks a major coup for Amazon, giving them arguably the two most elusive sports rights alongside NFL Thursday Night Football. Augusta National rarely changes TV partners and typically leaves money on the table with CBS and ESPN to maintain broadcast quality with limited commercials and cutting-edge technology. ⬇️
