Not Hoge’s best Masters. Too bad

And the winner of the par 3 contest once again won’t be Masters champion

And the venerable, 168 year old, Freddy Couples may make the cut. (-1 overall through 2 today).

Dogs and cats, living together.  Mass hysteria!

Assuming the worst?

I'd guess they both realized they were both losing and the way for everyone to win was quit fighting and unite (and become the world monopoly <- money).

with that signature....the PGA died.

Forget the messenger (no politics). 

One guy predicted this outcome a year ago!

This isn't a merger so much as the PGA Tour absorbing the LIV and it's financial backing.  LIV may not even exist going forward in its current form.  The insane thing is that none of the players on either side knew about this before reading it on twitter.  Talk about a heel turn by Jay Monahan, went from LIV guys are paid by the backers of 9/11 to being completely fine taking their money(I'm guessing it was a lot).

Attack your opponent....and

"When all else fails, play the 9/11 card."

Likely overheard in a PGA executive meeting.

This validates LIV.

The NFL ain't merging with the USFL.

All it validates is that everyone has a price and the PIF has an unlimited amount of money.
Oh, also lawyers and lawsuits are expensive and retaining a non-profit status is incredibly valuable.

Took the words right of my mouth.

LIV as a product or a business model was an abject failure on its own merits. It was a vehicle to pump enough money into the sport to leverage the PGA Tour into getting the PIF a seat at the table.

how far did the sawdi's have to dig to find the weak spot in his family tree to make monahan bend the knee?

this is more than just money...just look at gruden in the nfl and the redskins owner.......

dirty stuff.

Seems Phil knew about some issues the PGA may have if exposed when it comes to their status with Uncle Sam.  Plus the players being grossly underpaid.

Any thoughts about TGL, now that we’re in Week 2?

Some fascinating tech, and some malodorous cheese.  

ESPN guilty of some artificial hype, and some broadcasting gimmicks.

Far from perfect, but isn’t some golf > no golf?

Rory finally gets his Grand Slam monkey off his back. That was one of the wildest Masters tournaments I can recall. An instant classic

One of the wildest tournaments I've seen at any level, so for it to be at The Masters to complete the Career Grand Slam is unfathomable. You couldn't write that script because no one would believe it.  

And look out Quail Hollow in a month for the PGA. He's freed up and has won there 4 times in his career.
