We kick off 2026 breaking down Brooks Koepka’s shock return to the PGA Tour and celebrating Tiger Woods’ milestone 50th birthday.
THE RETURN OF BROOKS
- Brooks Koepka shocks the golf world by terminating his LIV contract to return to the PGA Tour, forfeiting $100 million and handing the Smash GC captaincy to Talor Gooch.
- The reaction is split: Brandel Chamblee demands consequences for the "marquee legitimizer," while Billy Horschel takes a pragmatic stance fueled by his new equity stake.
- Meanwhile, Bryson DeChambeau watches from the sidelines, using Koepka’s exit as leverage for his own expiring deal.
TIGER HITS THE BIG 5-0
- Tiger Woods turns 50 with tributes pouring in from Magic Johnson and Steph Curry ("coming for your wallet"), plus a cheeky "old fart" jab from Min Woo Lee.
- Things get weird with a psychic predicting a future LIV move for the Big Cat and Rachel Uchitel’s awkwardly timed wedding at The Breakers.
- "I didn't kill someone." — Uchitel addresses the media on her big day.
FAREWELL TO A LEGEND
- We pay our respects to Masashi "Jumbo" Ozaki, the baseball-pro-turned-golfer who racked up a staggering 113 professional wins.
- Recalling the 1990 Masters where Jack Nicklaus scrambled to get his hands on Ozaki’s "Professional Weapon" driver.
