Personal news/sincere🧵/sorry in advance: Starting very soon, I'll be working as managing editor for @fried_egg_golf . I'm impossibly excited for the opportunity for a wide variety of reasons, but how well I've been treated by everyone involved is at the top of the list.

If Koepka came out and said he's joining LIV purely for the money and the chance to continue putting Bryson into a locker whenever possible I'd probably give him a pass.

How well is LIV Golf doing on the CW? Stations across the country cut away at 6:30 PM ET to regularly scheduled programming from Sunday's final round with four holes to go. In Miami, the local CW station started airing a syndicated episode of The Goldbergs.
