Welcome back! In my last post, we examined how LIV Golf is unlikely to survive after the Saudi Public Investment Fund ends its financial support soon. Will the PGA Tour choose to punish the LIV Golf stars who left in 2022 and 2023? Or, should the PGA Tour take the high road and find a reasonable way to bring back the LIV golfers for the benefit of professional golf fans? It’s time for ol’ SwampSwami to present a few possible outcomes should LIV Golf fold its operations following its final 2026 event in late August. Let’s start with my least favorite idea and conclude with my preferred solution. First idea – The PGA Tour tells all LIV golfers that they are not welcome back. Ever. My Mom would have called this one, “Cutting off your nose to spite your face”. It’s simply not going to happen. I understand the angst. Many pro golfers and fans are still hot about LIV’s top names accepting $100 million or more from a country (Saudi Arabia) which has a poor history on human rights issues. The seed money and current operating capital provided to LIV Golf, indeed, originated from the Saudi Public Investment Fund. However, a total ban on LIV Golfers would be a terrible business idea for the PGA Tour. Golf fans want to see the best players competing on the course every week. If you still can’t get over it, perhaps celebrate the fact that Saudi investors have lost more than $5 billion on LIV Golf over the past five years. Second idea – The PGA Tour tells LIV golfers to sit out for at least one full year. They would then be permitted to start over. That involves earning a PGA Tour spot at the annual Qualifying school or playing in the Korn Ferry (developmental) Tour in 2027 in an attempt to earn a PGA Tour card for 2028. This would likely send the majority of LIV Golf players to play in the DP World (European) tour next season. The prize money for that tour is much lower, and the players’ travel costs are significant. From the DP World Tour’s viewpoint, adding a number of LIV golfers would boost interest in their tour. Perhaps the DP World Tour might add events at a few popular LIV Golf destinations such as Adelaide, Australia and in South Africa. Another factor to consider is that an across-the-board ban by the PGA Tour for at least one year may cause some LIV golfers to sue the PGA Tour. It is important to understand that PGA Tour golfers are not employees of the PGA Tour. They are considered contract labor. PGA Tour golfers are not guaranteed any prize money when they tee-up at traditional full-field golf tournaments. They earn money only after making the 36-hole cut by placing in the upper half of the field. LIV Golfers could argue the contract labor position in court should the PGA Tour deny their right to compete for one or more years. Third idea – Utilize the same method which recently allowed Brooks Koepka to return to the PGA Tour this year Five-time major championship winner Brooks Koepka had one year left on his LIV Golf contract in 2026. He quietly negotiated his way out of the final year of his LIV Golf contract following the 2025 season. Brooks Koepka then visited with the PGA Tour and was able to cut a deal to return this year in 2026. Koepka had to agree to certain conditions: He must pay a $5 million donation to charity. Koepka is not eligible to participate in the new PGA Player Equity Program. He is not eligible to receive any money from the season-ending FedEx Cup Bonus Pool. Upon rejoining the PGA Tour, Brooks Koepka has received several tournament sponsor’s invitations to participate in full-field PGA events this spring. Those tournament title sponsors should be permitted to add players (including other former LIV golfers) whose presence boosts local and national interest in their PGA Tour event. The “Koepka Plan” could be applied to the other returning LIV Golf stars beginning in 2027. A sliding scale could be used to determine the amount of each player’s charitable donation based on the size of that player’s LIV Golf signing bonus. This idea seems plausible to me. However… The PGA Tour is unhappy that other top LIV golfers failed to accept this type of “olive branch” offer made earlier in 2026. Revenge may sound like fun to some, but most pro golf fans just want to see the best players on the course every week. The PGA Tour is a business. Listening to golf fans who want to see the top players back in competition should be the Tour’s foremost priority. It is also Customer Service 101. The customer isn’t always right, but the customer is ALWAYS the customer! Fourth and my preferred idea – Listen to the golf fans and let’s roll again in 2027! Anyone who has watched the four golf major championships over the past few years can see how much golf fans enjoyed watching top LIV golfers like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm competing in those events. The final twosome of DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy in the 2025 Masters made for some great final round drama. It’s time for all parties to come together soon and make men’s golf stronger than before. A personal analogy may be in order. Perhaps you (like me) have been fortunate enough to have been hired by an employer, stayed for a number of years, left for another company, and then rehired by your original employer to fill an open position. We had our reasons for leaving. Earning a good reputation during your first time working for that original employer laid the groundwork for your possible return. Of course, most of us did not receive a hefty signing bonus from any employer. Pro golfers who left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf received some rather large signing bonuses. Whether the amount was $1 million or $300 million, it was a personal business decision which involved risks to be weighed by each player. Importantly, the amount of the LIV Golf signing bonus received by a golfer should be none of the PGA Tour’s business. The PGA Tour’s primary concern – today – should be in determining how much value their enterprise would gain by adding the top LIV golfers to some of their golf tournaments beginning next season. Let’s get to work and create a win/win/win deal for the fans, the PGA Tour, and LIV Golf! *The SwampSwamiSports.com favored proposal covers only the upcoming 2026-2027 PGA golf season Step 1 – Allow each regular field (100 or more players) PGA Tour event to have the option of inviting up to ten former LIV golfers to participate in their local event. This would be in addition to the normal number of PGA Tour players scheduled to appear that week. No PGA player would lose a spot in the field. Former LIV golfers would not be eligible to participate in any of the PGA Tour’s “no cut” reduced-field events or The Player’s Championship. All former LIV golfers (regardless of the number of FedEx points they earned during the regular season) would be ineligible to participate in the 2027 FedEx Cup series of year-ending events. Step 2 – Any PGA tournament earnings by a former LIV golfer in the 2026-2027 season will be split as follows – 1/3 to the golfer, 1/3 dedicated to the PGA Tour Players’ Retirement Fund, and 1/3 going to the local tournament’s primary charity or charities. The golfer would be financially “punished” by being allowed to keep just 1/3 of his weekly earnings. Having another 1/3 going directly into long-time PGA Tour players’ retirement accounts is intended to honor PGA golfers who didn’t bolt for LIV Golf. The final 1/3 going to the local tour stop’s charity will help make a positive impact in that community. It’s also a smart public relations move. Step 3 – If any former LIV Golf player should earn enough FedEx points during the 2026-2027 season to qualify for a Tour Card in 2028, the player should be welcomed back onto the PGA Tour. Let’s say that the Zurich Classic team event in New Orleans invites LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm to play as a team next spring. If they should win the golf tournament, those two players may earn enough FedEx points to receive their PGA Tour cards for 2028. LIV Golfers must earn their way back onto the regular PGA Tour – by their performance! Step 4 – If any former LIV golfer earns enough FedEx points to qualify for a spot on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2028, the player is welcomed to join that tour. A former LIV golfer may be able to place high enough during limited 2027 PGA Tour events may qualify to play on the Korn Ferry (developmental) Tour in 2028. The player would spend their next season trying to win events on that tour in an effort to regain their PGA Tour card. Step 5 – All LIV Golfers will be permanently ineligible to participate in the PGA Player Equity Program. This relatively new long-term incentive bonus plan was designed to incentivize PGA Tour members who stayed with the Tour instead of pursuing an offer from LIV Golf. It is only fair that the LIV Golfers should be permanently excluded from that bonus pool. In summary: My program would give PGA Tour tournament title sponsors the right to invite up to ten LIV golfers to play in their events to boost public interest without eliminating any PGA Tour players’ spots in the field. Those tournaments may also decide not to invite any LIV Golfers if they so choose. The LIV golfers must perform at a very high level in 2027 in order to have any chance of securing a PGA Tour card beginning in 2028. PGA Tour players have little to be concerned about except for some added competition. LIV Golf players would be at a serious disadvantage, because they are only eligible to play in a limited number of events. However, any LIV golfer collecting enough FedEx points during next season to qualify for the PGA Tour or the Korn Ferry Tour would have earned a playing card based on performance. The PGA Tour and its television partners also win. There will be increased interest in traditional full-field tour stops which have traditionally struggled to attract to top PGA Tour names. It’s good for business. Most importantly, golf fans win big! Local PGA tournament fields will include more top names in their fields beginning in 2027. It’s time to get over the feuding and sniping. Fans simply want to see the best players in the world competing every week. LIV Golf’s expected demise could result in a much improved PGA Tour very soon.

The Arnold Palmer Invitational once again gave the best players in the world a stiff challenge and Russell Henley used a timely chip-in eagle on the 16th hole to surge to the victory at Bay Hill. Henley was helped by Collin Morikawa's short game woes on the back 9 Sunday en route to a one shot victory. We will dive deep into what makes Bay Hill's setup so challenging for even the best players in the world. Tim has played the course, so he will give some inside knowledge into the setup and some holes that are specifically challenging. On the LIV golf circuit, Sergio Garcia got a win in Hong Kong, but the bigger story may be that Dustin Johnson took last place. We will discuss if this is the end for Dustin Johnson, if he even cares that he is playing horrible or will he resurrect his game at say Augusta National.

On this week's episode of the Golf Beneath The Surface Podcast, the boys sit down with one of the best club fitters in the world, Ian Fraser. The conversation takes a deep dive into the art and science of club fitting, the future of club fitting, how to find a great club fitter, indoor vs outdoor fittings, and much much more!About Ian Fraser:Ian has been working in the golf industry for 18 years, having turned professional shortly after leaving High School. Ian starting his fitting career with TaylorMade Europe. During his 8 years there — working in various Club Fitting roles — Ian helped golfers from all walks of life, from PGA Tour Players to complete beginners picking up a club for the first time. Before leaving, Ian helped design and operate the Taylormade Performance Lab at the world famous Turnberry Golf Resort. In late 2011, Ian was recruited by a Canadian Investment Group and was tasked with starting up a company called Modern Golf. In addition to being a minority shareholder, Ian was Head Club Fitter and Chief Technical Officer at Modern Golf. Four fantastic years were spent growing Modern Golf to become a prominent club fitting facility in Canada. Ian left Modern Golf in late 2015 to begin creating TXG. The goal envisioned by Ian was to deliver the same type of experience to golfers of all levels and to demonstrate that all golfers can benefit from proper equipment that is fit to their requirements and abilities. With this vision of becoming the industry leading experts in club fitting and building, Ian and his team opened their first store in Burlington Ontario. Shortly following that came the opening of the company's flagship store in the northeast part of Toronto.Follow Ian Fraser on Instagram: @ianfrasergolf

Gary McCord had a lengthy career on Tour, playing in over 400 PGA Tour events and then playing in another 161 events on the Champions Tour (with two victories), but Gary is probably best known for his 33 year career as a member of the CBS golf telecast crew from 1986-2019. We talk with Gary about life on Tour in the early 70's with Monday qualifying, his lead role in creating the all-exempt Tour in 1983, how he got his start with CBS in 1986 and what it was like to work with legendary producer Frank Chirkinian, his experiences as a broadcaster at The Masters and his banishment from the tournament in 1994, and his role in the movie Tin Cup and how Ron Shelton based several key scenes on Gary's real life experiences on Tour. We also get Gary's take on the distance debate and the Tour/LIV schism (and some ideas as to how to bridge that divide).

In this episode of “This Is Purdue,” we're talking to PGA Tour golfer Adam Schenk. Adam is a Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business alum and former first-team All-Big Ten Purdue men's golfer, who has spent nearly a decade dedicated to his full-time career on the golf course. During this time, he secured his PGA Tour card and rapidly ascended the leaderboard, often competing alongside some of the world's top-ranked golfers. The 2023 season took him to new heights pursuing his first PGA Tour win and, in 2024, he continues that chase while preparing to play his first Masters. Listen as he takes us back to his time playing for the Purdue men's golf team, recounting his first collegiate tournament and what it felt like winning for a team, not just himself. Frequently returning to the Purdue golf courses, he loves mentoring and playing with current Boilermaker golfers, while practicing his own swing and preparing for major tournaments like the U.S. Open. With his golden retriever, Bunker, at his side during practice, Adam discusses how he prepares to play with pro golf legends like Rory McIlroy on some of the most famous courses across the country. Adam says he loves seeing plenty of spectators in Purdue clothing and often hears a distant “Boiler Up!” from the bustling crowds at PGA tournaments. Plus, Adam reflects on his unique friendship with his mentor, Purdue men's golf coach Rob Bradley, who joins the podcast to discuss this duo's journey from Purdue to the PGA Tour. You don't want to miss this conversation with a Boilermaker who is taking giant leaps in the world of professional golf.

BONUS Ep. Kawuki “Roger” Sali : Ugandan Born Golf Enthusiast Today, I bring you two conversations with two of my favorite individuals, Willy Wilcox and Kawuki “Roger” Sali. First, I caught up with Willy, who, during our recording, was in Hawaii preparing to caddie for Sung-jae Im at The Sentry. Since our initial conversation, Willy has experienced both highs and lows in his career, and it's truly inspiring to witness where he currently stands. Next, I had the pleasure of delving into the world of Kawuki “Roger” Sali, a passionate golf enthusiast and coach born in Uganda. Roger's mission is dedicated to the growth of golf in Uganda, and it was truly enlightening to learn more about him and the impactful mission he pursues.
