preview

LIV Golf Team Majesticks GC, which features Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, and Henrik Stenson, are opening a new series known as “Live from the Locker Room,” which is the first all-access content series from a group of players on the tour.Along with the three players, team General Manager James Dunkley have opened their doors and turned on the cameras to show fans what goes on in a professional golf locker room.Massive congratulations to Europe in the Ryder Cup👏🏼🏆🇪🇺Our 3 co-captains take a dive into full analysis along with reminiscing on the memories they shared from the Ryder Cup throughout the years✨Catch the full episode here: https://t.co/Ib7CLFT5VQ pic.twitter.com/1rEZnmIhNS— Majesticks GC (@MajesticksGC) October 1, 2023The team describes the series:“With a focus on enhancing the fan experience, this series will provide behind-the-scenes access showcasing discussions of what it’s like to build a sports franchise, the nuances of a team sport, and life as a professional athlete.”LIV Golf has become a team sport through its format and through its partnerships, which have been signed by individual teams and have included apparel brands, for example. However, this is a first-of-its-kind deal with the content series, and as hot as golf content creation is in today’s world, this is sure to do well.Considering the charismatic personalities of the three LIV Golfers, fans are sure to tune in and see what goes on in a LIV setting, just as they did for the Netflix series “Full Swing,” which attracted millions of viewers in its inaugural season.The first episode has already been released and is available on YouTube. It features “timely crossovers between Majesticks and Ryder Cup Europe,” as the tournament between the Americans and Europeans just happened last weekend.&nbsp;The three golfers have 24 combined Ryder Cup appearances, so the episode features plenty of commentary from the trio regarding notable stories and experiences.There are more episodes on the way, and each one will drop with “exclusive early access to the Majesticks fan base.” Fans will also have a say in what goes on in each episode, as the team will take requests from viewers on topics of discussion.You can watch the first episode below:Cover Image via LIV Golf’s Majesticks GCLexi Thompson Receives Sponsor’s Exemption to Play in PGA Tour’s Shriners Children’s OpenLoginPlease login to commentCommentsInline FeedbacksView all commentsBrooks Koepka has never given a damn what anyone has thought about him. It is apparent from his attitude, demeanor, and how he carries himself on and off the golf course. Koepka is a competitor and a damn good one at that.&nbsp;According to golf journalist Alan Shupnick’s new book,&nbsp;LIV and Let Die, Koepka sounded off on “country club kids,” referring to his friends on the PGA Tour who had disagreed with LIV Golf and the numerous golfers who decided to join the controversial golf tour.Shupnick writes that Koepka was referring to Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, among others, according to a new excerpt released by the&nbsp;Fire Pit Collective. The sleeve of the book also explicitly mentions that Koepka’s comments were in response to Thomas and Spieth.The story goes that a jumbo jet supplied by LIV to players to get them across the pond from Portland, Oregon, to the JP McManus Pro-Am in Ireland. Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Jason Kokrak, Pat Perez, and a few of the wives were all in Europe, enjoying a late night of drinking and carrying on.Despite a “relaxed setting” that included Pat Perez thanking Dustin Johnson for recruiting him to the LIV Tour, Koepka stepped things up a notch:“F*** all of those country club kids who talk s*** about me,” he said, referring to the likes of Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and others. “You think I give a f*** what they think? You think I care what people say about me? I just had three surgeries, and I’m supposed to turn down $130 million? I grew up with nothing. After signing that contract, the first person I called was my mom. We both cried.”Koepka, who played last weekend’s Ryder Cup with both Thomas and Spieth on the team, was paired with another Tour-loyal player in Scottie Scheffler, and the two shared what seemed to be incredibly good chemistry.Despite reports of a “fracture” in the U.S. locker room because of an ongoing disagreement between Patrick Cantlay and the non-payment structure of the Ryder Cup, contradicting reports stated that there was unity in the American team, as personal vendettas had been set aside to take on the Europeans.There also seemed to be plenty of camaraderie between Koepka and other PGA Tour players last week:I make money moves pic.twitter.com/yAZvByXFjQ— Brooks Koepka (@BKoepka) October 1, 2023LIV and Let Die&nbsp;is set to be released on October 17 and can be pre-ordered here.Cover Image via SBNationLIV Golf is working to dial in its schedule for the 2024 season despite its merger with the PGA Tour still being in the works.Many started questioning the future of LIV after it was announced in June that the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) had agreed to merge with the PGA Tour. Although the terms of the merger are still being worked on, there is plenty of evidence that LIV is planning to move forward like it is business as usual, especially considering reports that it is working to finalize its schedule for next year.The LIV-PGA Tour merger was not supposed to take place until the 2025 season anyway, at least according to reports that apparently had some leaked information regarding the terms of the merger. With that being said, 2024 is set to potentially be LIV’s last year as an independent golf promotion, and its schedule is different than years past.After Bryson DeChambeau took down the LIV Chicago event this past weekend and slotted a $4 million check, there are things that remain steady: the winners of LIV Tournaments take home hefty paydays, and their scheduling is much more flexible than the PGA Tour.All smiles from your individual champion @b_dechambeau in Chicago 😁#LIVGolf pic.twitter.com/kjNMi8S5Oj— LIV Golf (@livgolf_league) September 25, 2023As only one LIV player, Brooks Koepka has to prepare for the Ryder Cup this coming weekend, there is plenty of time for the guys to rest and recover for their next event.The 2024 schedule will reportedly lack any tournaments at Trump Golf Courses, according to a report from&nbsp;Sports Illustrated.&nbsp;Additionally, the schedule is set to feature eight events outside the United States, including tournaments in Mexico, Jeddah, Hong Kong, Adelaide, Singapore, Valderrama, England, and South Korea.The year will be kicked off in Mayakoba in Mexico and will be followed by a tournament in Las Vegas, the report said.&nbsp;U.S. events will be in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Oklahoma City, with the tournament in LA coming after the U.S. Open.There is also a season-ending team championship event that is listed as “South Florida.”Cover Image via The Wright Way NetworkAfter a feud that lasted over a year, Sergio Garcia reportedly agreed to pay his DP World Tour fines in order to play in this year’s Ryder Cup. However, the DPWT, which is the majority controller of the European team, passed on the offer.The Telegraph, out of the United Kingdom, reported the news that Garcia wanted back on the team after resigning his DP World Tour membership earlier in 2023. The report went on to say that the DPWT wouldn’t accept the fines because Garcia had already resigned his membership.“They also said they’d play in whatever events we wanted, apart from those that clashed with the remaining LIV tournaments,” the Telegraph’s source said. “But it was explained that, despite the ongoing peace talks, as he had resigned his membership, he is not eligible to join until next year.”Sky Sports understands Sergio Garcia enquired about paying his outstanding £700k DP World Tour fines in a bid to be available for this year’s Ryder Cup ⛳— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) September 18, 2023Neither Garcia nor the DPWT commented on the report.Garcia has participated in 10 Ryder Cups, and his 28.5 points earned is a Ryder Cup record. Even in the 19-9 destruction of Team Europe by the U.S. in 2021, Garcia earned three of those nine points.Jon Rahm has been a proponent of keeping his countryman involved, saying last week, “I think it would be really stupid for anybody not to lean on Sergio Garcia’s experience in the Ryder Cup.”“The team has moved on. The game has moved on.”11-time European Ryder Cup team member @NickFaldo006 on Sergio Garcia’s absence from the Ryder Cup. pic.twitter.com/kkmdu9AeuL— Golf Today (@GCGolfToday) September 18, 2023DP World Tour members who played for LIV Golf without permission were fined 100,000 pounds per event. After a judicial panel upheld the fines, Garcia had a bill of 700,000 pounds before resigning from the DPWT.With the DPWT a part of the framework agreement that will bring the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) together, this may just be a temporary blip in Garcia’s Ryder Cup career. But in the meantime, he will not be a part of the proceedings for just the second time this century.Cover Image via Sky SportswpDiscuzWould love your thoughts, please comment.
