The warning signs are piling up for LIV Golf—but is the league really finished, or is there still a path forward? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the latest trouble surrounding LIV Golf, including a new $1 million lawsuit alleging unpaid licensing and usage fees, Jon Rahm's noncommittal response when asked whether he expects to play for LIV in 2027, and the growing questions about the league's long-term future. With LIV returning after a nearly two-month hiatus, we discuss whether these developments could represent the final nail in the coffin—or whether the league can still secure the investment and sponsorship needed to survive. We also examine LIV Golf's lasting impact on professional golf, from larger PGA Tour purses and greater player influence to schedule changes, international expansion, and the continued debate over team golf. Then we play “Win or Lose” to determine how LIV's disruption has affected LIV players, PGA Tour stars, the PGA Tour itself, golf fans, major championships, and tournament sponsors. Plus, we revisit Bryson DeChambeau's controversial two-stroke penalty at The Open, his public response to the ruling, and whether the incident risks undoing the image transformation he has built through recent success and his popular YouTube channel. Was the penalty justified, did Bryson handle it poorly, and will LIV Golf still exist in 2027?

Raise your hand if you saw this one coming. LIV Golf has been downright invisible for more than a month.  The last action featuring the upstart golf league took place on June 7 in Spain. The next LIV Golf event (perhaps) is expected to take place next Thursday, July 23 in the United Kingdom.  August will feature three tournaments in New York, Indianapolis, and Michigan to end the 2026 season. In case you missed it, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has already told the LIV Golf players that Daddy Big Bucks won't be around to lose another billion or more next year to support the league. There has been chatter during this one month LIV Golf lull that the Saudis might even pull the plug prior to next week's golf tournament in Staffordshire, England. Stay tuned! This week, the fourth major golf tournament of the year is being held at The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale (located 50 miles northwest of Liverpool, England). After two rounds, nine members of the LIV Golf contingent have made their presence known at The Open – loud and clear Leading the Open after two rounds was none other than LIV Golf's Lucas Herbert at eight under par.  Who dat, you ask?  The unassuming Herbert is an Australian golfer who participates as a member of the LIV Golf's popular “Ripper GC” team. Lucas Herbert is only 30 years old.  He won a single PGA Tour event in October, 2021 in Bermuda against a less-than-stellar field.  Herbert then moved over to LIV Golf in January, 2024 to team up with fellow Aussies Cam Smith, Marc Leishman, and Elvis (Smiley, that is). Herbert (whose caddie looks like a guitar player for ZZ Top) won the May, 2026 LIV Golf tournament in northern Virginia.  His blazing 24-under par total produced a four-shot victory. Lucas Herbert tied the Open record on Friday with a second round 8-under par 62.  He missed a three foot birdie putt on the 18th hole which would have given him a new record with a sizzling 61. He told the assembled press afterwards, “It's a pretty good problem to have – to be disappointed you shot a 62!” When the second round ended, Herbert took a one shot lead into the weekend over fellow LIV Golf star and team captain of the “Crushers” team, Bryson DeChambeau. Well, at least for a few minutes… Bryson DeChambeau rolled in a 16-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole on Friday to post a 7-under par total and take solo second place.  He was expecting to be paired with LIV Golf's Lucas Herbert on Saturday as he walked off the 18th green following Round 2. Royal & Ancient tournament officials visited with Bryson DeChambeau as soon as he walked toward the clubhouse to sign his scorecard.  They wanted to discuss a possible rules infraction which happened way back on Hole #5 of the second round Friday. Bryson DeChambeau bombed a long tee shot, but it was far off line to the right side of the fairway.  His golf ball landed in a marshy area surrounded by knee-high fescue grass.  As DeChambeau walked around and then behind the ball to line-up his second shot, he accidentally stepped onto some of the fescue behind the ball.  The rules officials deemed the temporarily depressed grass to give the golfer an unfair advantage. DeChambeau gave a passionate explanation of his version of the story.  He pleaded with the officials that the shot he played was not affected by the squished-down nearby grass.  No matter.  He was still assessed a two shot penalty to balloon his bogey 5 into a triple bogey 7 on Hole #5. Those extra two shots changed his second round total score from -7 to -5.  It dropped DeChambeau from solo second place into a three way tie for fifth place. Afterwards, he said, “Obviously disappointed with the ruling.  I don’t agree with it, but it is what it is.  This fires me up.  Onto the weekend.  Let’s get it!” It wasn't the only time that DeChambeau was in the news this week at The Open Bryson DeChambeau is a former US Amateur champion and has won two US Opens.  His unusual golfing style (extremely long drives, a set of irons which are all the same length, and a wonky upright putting stance) make him easy to notice on the golf course.  His bright smile and affable personality have added to his popularity – especially with younger golf fans. One former golfer who isn't enthralled with DeChambeau's golf style is former champion Nick Faldo. Earlier in the week, Faldo took to the microphone to say that Bryson DeChambeau had little or no chance of winning the Claret Jug trophy which goes to the winner. The six-time major champion commented, “I’d say it to his face.  DeChambeau has zero clue of strategy.”  He added, “He (DeChambeau) said last year, ‘I’m going to go out and attack the links.’  Well, I’ve never attacked the links.  You thread it…feed it down the fairway.” To his credit, Bryson DeChambeau didn’t directly respond to Nick Faldo’s barbed remarks. LIV Golf’s “Hot Temper Twins” haven’t disappointed, either What’s the first thing you think of when I say, “Terrell Hatton?” Some might say, “Who?”  Golf fans like me think of “Hot Head Hatton.” The club-flinging, four-letter-word-hurling Hatton found himself at -3 heading into Saturday’s third round. The LIV Golf competitor was paired with Scottie Scheffler (-4) and Bryson DeChambeau during the first two rounds at this year’s Open.  The cameras found Hatton on the verge of club-chunking a few different times during Thursday’s opening round. Then there’s LIV Golf’s $300 million bonus man, Jon Rahm.  Like Hatton, the intense Spaniard has a long history of temper eruptions on the golf course. Friday’s second round featured Jon Rahm (-4 for the tournament) flinging an iron which bounced off the tee box on the par-3 15th hole. Rules officials handed Rahm an official warning afterwards. The four major golf championships are (yeah, right) cracking down on bad behavior on the course.  Rules officials now have the option of issuing a warning, a two shot penalty, or, if warranted, a disqualification. With Rahm being a two-time major golf champion, he was fortunate not to be assessed a two-shot penalty after Friday’s latest temper outburst. A LIV golfer may not hoist the Claret Jug on Sunday, but they’ve stolen the show The other five LIV Golf players who made the cut at The Open were Thomas Detry, Josele Ballester, Victor Perez, Peter Uihlein, and Laurie Canter. You can say a lot about LIV Golf, but several of the nine players who made the cut at this year’s Open Championship have definitely spiced-up this week’s competition. A perilous financial future lies ahead for LIV Golf at the end of August (assuming they are still in business at that point). The economics of the league are not sustainable.  Saudi’s fat wallet (now more than $5 billion lighter) will be unavailable soon after enduring four years of massive losses.  Defections by Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed this season have also hurt LIV Golf.   Don’t forget that Bryson DeChambeau’s contract expires at the end of 2026. All signs point to a rough landing ahead for LIV Golf. Let’s enjoy their contingent of talented and spicy golfers this weekend at The Open – while we still have time.

We've got some serious issues: Iran is too real of a country to ignore, and Saudi Arabia is becoming a real country in that it suddenly can't find $300m to fund the LIV Golf tournament in Louisiana. Because something happened regarding the thing that it uses to make all its money from? We also dig into Israel's occupation of Lebanon as “means of thwarting a peace deal” and as default function in a state run by people who need a war happening to stay out of prison.

The past week has featured a number of rather important sports stories.  Some are quite newsworthy and will have lasting impact.  Others seem to be overblown stories being pushed by the media just to meet deadline requirements. How do you view these stories?  News or Snooze? Oklahoma Sooners downed North Carolina to claim the men’s College World Series title A: Newsworthy The SEC just won its seventh consecutive men’s College World Series baseball title after unseeded Oklahoma blasted the favored and #5 seed North Carolina Tar Heels 13-2 on Monday night in Omaha. OU’s “Slugging Sooners” K-O’d every opponent they faced during the postseason in their unprecedented march to college baseball’s national title. Oklahoma barely made it into the NCAA 64-team tournament field.  OU finished in 11th place in the SEC regular season with a lowly 14-16 conference record. The Sooners took advantage of their good fortune to make the college baseball playoffs and took down #2 seed Georgia Tech in Atlanta in the opening round. They next traveled to #15 Kansas in the Super Regionals and swept the Jayhawks right out of the tournament. In Omaha, OU took down #7 Alabama and #3 Georgia to earn a spot in the best-of-three title series against #5 North Carolina. Yes, Oklahoma definitely caught fire at the right time of the season.  It was their first baseball title since 1994. Well done, Sooners! Last week, troubled college QB Brendan Sorsby entered the NFL Supplemental Draft.  This week, the NFL canceled their own Supplemental Draft. A: Snooze worthy I just can’t muster up a lot of tears for either Brendan Sorsby or Texas Tech right now.  If anyone was wearing the black hat this week, it was definitely the NFL. Brendan Sorsby (as we’ll explain later) made a timely application to the NFL before the league’s Monday, June 22 deadline to enter the Supplemental Draft. On Tuesday, the pro football league completely hosed this young man by abruptly canceling its annual Supplemental Draft.  The event is normally conducted in August for a handful of eligible football players who did not participate in April’s seven-round selection process. As you may recall, Brendan Sorsby was the young man who admitted to betting on college football games (including those of his own team) along with many other sports. This spring, he acknowledged having a gambling addiction and went away for counseling and treatment.  Upon completion of the program, the NCAA ruled that Sorsby was still ineligible to play football this fall at Texas Tech as an incoming transfer student.  Sorsby then sued the NCAA in a final attempt to regain his eligibility. With unprecedented speed, a court in northwest Texas ruled that Brendan Sorsby could, indeed, play football this fall for the Red Raiders.  His trial vs. the NCAA was generously moved to begin during February, 2027 (long after this year’s football season ends). The Big 12 Conference objected, too.  They wanted Sorsby banned this season for breaking the rules on gambling.  The conference met to determine an appopriate punishment for Texas Tech if Sorsby hit the field this fall for the Red Raiders. Sorsby (as we predicted) did the right thing last week.  He said adios to Texas Tech and declared his intention to participate in the NFL’s Supplemental Draft.  The NFL then pulled the rug on this event and left Sorsby homeless (football-wise) for this fall. Don’t feel sad for Brendan Sorsby, though.  Texas Tech (whose athletics program is supported by several wealthy energy leaders) agreed to pay the young man the estimated $5 million his 2026 NIL deal is worth anyway. Invest it well, young man! Speaking of drafts, the NBA held its annual player draft this week A: Snooze worthy Quick!  Tell me the first round NBA selection made by your favorite NBA team on Tuesday night. Even many of the players being selected during the first and second rounds of the NBA Draft didn’t even know where they would be playing. That’s because an incredible 27 of the 60 players taken in Rounds 1 and 2 of the NBA Draft were immediately traded by the team which had just selected them. What’s going on here? The first 12 selections in Round 1 will be playing (for now) for the teams which drafted them.  Ten of the next 18 players selected were shipped to another team moments after receiving a ceremonial team cap and shaking NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s hand on-stage. Round 2 was an even bigger mess.  A total of 17 of the 30 players (57%) picked in the second round were immediately traded to another team. Outside of the first 12 players selected in Round 1, the majority of basketball players picked in this week’s NBA Draft apparently were not highly coveted. Cheap advice – Keep your bags packed! The NCAA recommends college athletes be allowed to play for five seasons over five years?!! A: Newsworthy College athletes have long been given four years of athletic eligibility to participate in varsity athletics.  A flawed concept called taking a “red shirt” was used to allow underutilized players (generally freshmen) to participate in team practices for an extra year prior to playing in games. This concept kept getting pushed to the limits.  Players injured before the midway point in a season started requesting the NCAA to grant them an extra year of eligibility. This week, the NCAA’s Division 1 Cabinet issued a proposed rule change to make this issue much simpler (we hope).  The athlete will be allowed five years to participate in college athletics from the earlier of the date of full-time enrollment or the academic year following his/her 19th birthday. This “Five in Five” concept is expected to begin this fall. Yes, it means that a healthy athlete could (potentially) play five consecutive years of major college athletics. The NCAA has finally acted on a relevant issue for college athletics.  Unsurprisingly, there has already been some legal pushback filed by players. Stay tuned to see if this change to college athletics is actually implemented this fall. The PGA Tour announced some radical changes to its structure beginning in 2028 A: Newsworthy LIV Golf has been criticized by many, but the upstart league has forced the stodgy PGA Tour to make some radical changes. The PGA Tour announced on Tuesday that there will be two “tracks” for top pro golfers beginning in the year 2028. A new “Championship” division will feature up to 24 tournament events from February through August. This grouping will feature the top 100 ranked golfers playing 72 holes with a 36-hole cut (as before).  The prize money in these events will total at least $20 million. There will also be a new “Challenger” level that will play at least 20 events from February through August. These will have larger fields (144 golfers) and 36-hole cuts, but the tournament prize money will be about $4 million per event. Players who win two tournaments in one season at the “Challenger” level will immediately be promoted up to the Championship division. Golfers in the Championship upper division who finish their season ranked #91-100 will be demoted to the Challenger level for the following year. More details are expected to be announced in the coming months. This announcement quietly confirms that the PGA Tour continues to struggle attracting its top golfers to appear in some of its mid-level tournaments.  Those events usually offer a lower payout than average, too. In case you were wondering, LIV Golf (which might fold at any time) is paying its golfers a total tournament purse of $30 million in 2026.  However, LIV Golf is only playing 14 tournaments worldwide this year. Caitlin Clark’s latest WNBA assailant gets suspended for one game A: Snooze worthy Many fans of the Women’s NBA (WNBA) want to watch the talented scoring outside shooting machine named Caitlin Clark produce plenty of points like the NBA’s Steph Curry. The WNBA’s television ratings and attendance rise whenever third-year shooting guard Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever is featured on national TV or playing in an opponent’s arena. Unfortunately, many players in the WNBA just don’t like Clark.  Some have made her life exceedingly difficult by playing excessively physical defense against the 6′ shooting guard. The number of dirty plays involving Caitlin Clark on the receiving end are becoming far too commonplace in the WNBA.  Worse yet, the three referees on the court are letting a lot of the rough play go without even blowing their whistles. Can you imagine if talented NBA offensive stars such as Pistol Pete Maravich or Larry Bird were being routinely mugged and injured by opposing players?  The men’s pro basketball league understood the value which those stars brought to their league. On the other hand, the WNBA doesn’t seem to have a clue. Another scary moment involving Caitlin Clark (fifth in the WNBA in scoring at 21 points/game) occurred Wednesday night as the Indiana Fever played the Phoenix Mercury. Clark was tripped while handling the basketball. As she laid on the floor, Phoenix forward Alyssa Thomas (who is listed at 6’2” and weighs 202 pounds according to the WNBA website) “recklessly made contact with her fist to the throat area of Caitlin Clark.” That quote was issued by the league AFTER the game when this play was reviewed. For her part, Alyssa Thomas was assessed a Level 2 Flagrant foul and then received a one game suspension. Question:  How could three highly trained WNBA referees miss all of that mayhem on the floor?  What were they looking at?  Or, perhaps, were they instructed before the game to overlook it? None of the officials blew a whistle on the play despite the rather obvious unnecessary roughness imparted by Caitlin Clark’s opponents. Whether the WNBA players like Caitlin Clark or not, they better hope that she doesn’t vanish to play go basketball in Europe next season. If that she should leave, fan interest in the WNBA may quickly revert back to the mediocre levels it had before Clark entered the league just three years ago.  *Ol’ SwampSwami and his long-suffering sports wife will be out next week babysitting a couple of our energetic grandsons in N. Louisiana.  We’ll visit again after the July 4th holiday.    Happy 250th birthday, America!  The post Newsworthy or “Snooze worthy”? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

The PGA TOUR just revealed its future — and it could change professional golf forever. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the PGA TOUR's massive new competitive structure that is set to reshape professional golf beginning in 2028. From the introduction of a Championship Series and Challenger Series to promotion and relegation, new playoff formats, rotating Tour Championship venues, and the long-awaited return of match play, these changes could represent the biggest overhaul of the PGA TOUR in decades. We discuss what the new schedule means for players, sponsors, fans, and the future of professional golf, including how the Championship Series will feature elevated purses, smaller fields, and guaranteed access for the top players in the game. We also take a closer look at the Challenger Series, how players will earn promotion, and what role the Korn Ferry Tour may play moving forward. Plus, we debate whether these sweeping changes are the ultimate legacy of LIV Golf's disruption and whether the turmoil of the past several years has ultimately led to a better product for golf fans. Finally, we dive into the proposed postseason format, why match play could transform the Tour Championship, and which iconic golf courses could become future hosts.

The PGA TOUR has taken its most significant step toward restructuring in years. On today's episode of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams breaks down the two-series model officially unveiled by CEO Brian Rolapp at TPC River Highlands, what it means for players, sponsors, and the future of professional golf, and what critical details are still missing from the picture.Joining Gary:Ryan Lavner (GolfChannel.com / Golf Channel Podcast with Rex & Lav) live from the Travelers Championship to discuss the hardline promotion and relegation structure, what the top 90 cutline means for players like Adam Scott, the Challenger Series sponsorship challenge, and where the PGA TOUR's regular season finale should land on the calendar.Gabby Herzig (The Athletic) on the significance of Tiger Woods appearing in the room, whether the PGA TOUR would ever build a structure that excludes him, what LIV Golf players are likely thinking after Tuesday's announcement, and why the WM Phoenix Open has to be the opening event of the Championship Series.Keith Stewart (Read the Line) on site at TPC River Highlands breaking down course conditions ahead of the Travelers Championship, plus picks for both the Travelers and the KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Hazeltine National, where the 5 Clubs panel is heavily invested in Nelly Korda.Plus:- Brian Rolapp's two-series roadmap explained- Promotion and relegation comes to American professional golf- Championship Series vs. Challenger Series: the sponsorship divide- Match play returns as the postseason finale- Pine Valley, Cypress Point, Bandon Dunes: where does the final series go?- Making the regular season champion the automatic Player of the Year- Tiger Woods and his role in the TOUR's next chapter- Travelers Championship and KPMG Women's PGA picks with Keith Stewart5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, Channel 92.0:00 Reaction to the PGA TOUR's News13:30 Ryan Lavner26:10 Gabby Herzig39:05 Keith StewartFOLLOW 5 Clubs: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/5clubsgolf/X: https://x.com/5ClubsGolf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/5ClubsGolf/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@5clubsgolfWant to wear Gary's Peter Millar fits from the show?

In this episode of Just Wondering, hosts Norm Hitzges and Mary Hitzges break down the Dallas Mavericks' NBA Draft strategy, including whether trading up for Arkansas guard Darius Acuff could be the key to building around Cooper Flagg, plus a look at the coaching search and what Masai Ujiri's quiet approach really means. They also dig into the surging US Men's National Team at the FIFA World Cup and whether the early excitement deserves a reality check heading into tougher competition. Finally, Norm examines whether LIV Golf is on its last legs as Saudi funding dries up and marquee players like Brooks Koepka head for the exit.

LIV Golf is known for doing it big: big player contracts, big worldwide events and big prize purses (an average of $460 million annually). It has also received big funding from one particular source. As of February 2026, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has pumped $5.3 billion into LIV. But this past April, the PIF announced that it would halt its funding of the league at the end of this year. The PIF’s exit leaves one big question mark hanging over the league: Can LIV Golf survive? In this episode of The Deal, LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil joins Alex and Jason to address the skeptics. He tells us where LIV is cutting costs and how it is maintaining relationships with its big name golfers. O’Neil also explains why he is confident LIV will survive and how it will look different post-PIF. He also shares his pitch to investors and spells out the types of investors who are already interested in LIV 2.0.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A bombshell new report reveals how LIV Golf plans to survive without unlimited funding. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down a bombshell new report detailing what a potential LIV Golf 2.0 could look like as the league fights for its future. With reports suggesting LIV Golf has already lost billions of dollars and may be running out of time to secure new investment, we examine the proposed restructuring plan that could reshape professional golf. From team majors and signature events to player equity and reduced purses, we discuss how LIV hopes to attract investors while keeping stars like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm on board. We also dive into reports that every remaining LIV Golf event this season could be in jeopardy, the league’s unusual 47-day break, and what it all means for players, fans, and the ongoing battle with the PGA Tour. Is LIV Golf truly on the verge of collapse, or does this new vision provide a realistic path forward? Plus, we analyze Bryson’s apparent commitment to the league, Jon Rahm’s future, the role of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), and whether LIV’s international success can be enough to save the league.

With 33 holes played already on Sunday at Muirfield Village, it took J.T. Poston two more to emerge victorious, punching his ticket to Shinnecock Hills (and avoiding another 36 holes on Golf's Longest Day) in the process. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap the week at Memorial, and Poston's journey back to the winner's circle.Smylie was on-site at Jack's Place and gives his perspective on how Poston found something special with his ball striking and putter, why Ryan Gerard's putting turnaround is elevating his ceiling, and how brutal Muirfield Village played before the weekend rain softened the golf course.The guys also discuss Scottie Scheffler's viral frustration at the 16th hole, Wyndham Clark's form heading toward the U.S. Open, Golf's Longest Day, Nelly Korda's first U.S. Women's Open win at Riviera, the future of mixed men's/women's golf events, and the latest LIV Golf reporting.Subscribe to The Smylie Show and follow our socials @thesmylieshow for more PGA TOUR analysis, player insight, and weekly golf conversation. ⛳️

This First of the Month recording has everyone in a great mood off the jump, with Andy immediately taking a victory lap for a big weekend from Pete Crow-Armstrong against the Cardinals. Brendan quickly transitions things to Russell Henley's playoff win at the Charles Schwab Challenge, the sixth PGA Tour victory of his career. Henley birdied the final three holes in regulation to tie Eric Cole before making another on the sole playoff hole. Andy brings up some other six-time winners in an effort to contextualize Henley's career and his chances of winning a major championship. Brendan calls Henley a likely Presidents Cup lock despite believing the U.S. should look to build some younger stars ahead of Adare Manor. The two discuss Colonial's continued run as a challenging Tour stop and suggest that this should be the main Texas event on the new schedule. Andy and Brendan then run through results from the rest of the golf world, starting with yet another Joaquin Niemann win for LIV Golf. Despite the individual win for Niemann, the Crushers still took down the team title in Korea, aided by Bryson DeChambeau's use of Google Gemini to help fix his swing. Nobody can fathom any player other than Bryson needing to use AI in order to help figure out swing woes, but Andy thinks this may HELP his chances at Shinnecock. This episode wraps with a recap of the Men's NCAA Championships through Sunday, with the final individual round and the team match play still to come early this week.
