    Oh, I'm sure you're right. Just made me laugh that in this summer of massive upheaval and turmoil in golf that Willy Z's caddie change got bylines.

    Faldo tears up during the tournament signoff and can barely talk

    Phil Mickelson should’ve broken in and talked about his best flop shots.

    Nothing made me laugh harder from Shipnuck’s book than Mickelson ruining Faldo’s Golf HOF party by just telling stories about himself.

    Golf meets Court TV today; on a Zoom at 1 p.m. Pacific a judge in San Jose will rule on whether three LIV'ers can play in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Go figure, as badly as the PGA Tour has wanted eyeballs on its "postseason," this would help.

    If they win that knocks Rickie Fowler out

    No, the Tour wouldn't knock anyone out for these guys. Would just add on. And the field would then be 124; four guys are out due to injury or personal.

    Cam Smith reportedly gone to LIV after the playoffs:

    Report: British Open Champion Cameron Smith Heading to LIV Golf

    That's a doozy. He's second in points and could easily win the thing; imagine the PGA Tour next year without the defending champion of the FedEx Cup and the Players. Smith has a scheduled press conference later today in Memphis.

    Reports from Australia indicate Marc Leishman is moving to LIV as well. They may be among the last two. Golf Digest reports today the LIV roster of 48 is essentially set for next season.

    Have heard the same. Was just down at Bayville, the Virginia Beach club where he's a member, and had heard some similar rumblings.

    I'm sure LIV could make room for a couple more guys, but yeah certainly not as many as probably want in. Gotta believe that dozens of the PGA Tour's middle-to-lower class would make that jump now in a heartbeat, watching tomato cans like Pat Perez cash in and the bigger names take all the heat.

    If a ball finds the bottom of the cup and nobody's there to see it, did it happen?

    How long until LIV pays Phil $100mm to not play?
