On November 29th, we break down Keegan Bradley's record-setting Skins Game win over his European rivals, Jack Nicklaus's sharp critique of Rory McIlroy, and major structural changes coming to the DP World Tour.

Capital One's "The Skins Game"

The Ryder Cup bad blood spilled over into the offseason as Keegan Bradley exacted revenge on Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood, turning early taunts into a record-breaking payday in a tense, dramatic showdown.

• Lowry's early jab: "I have just spent the last few months breaking Keegan Bradley's heart."
• The event was punctuated by Lowry's incredibly unlucky 360-degree lip-out on a key hole, adding to the European frustration.

Tour Turmoil

The DP World Tour is following the PGA Tour's lead, announcing a reduction in full-status cards from 110 to 100 by 2027, a move that is already pushing players like Victor Perez toward LIV Golf.

• "It's about quality over quantity," said DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings, defending the controversial decision.
• Perez cited the constantly shifting "goalposts" on the established tours as a primary reason for his jump to LIV.

Legends Weigh In

Jack Nicklaus offered a pointed critique of Rory McIlroy's major championship struggles, while a sobering update on Tiger Woods prompted Colin Montgomerie to suggest it's time for a new chapter on the Champions Tour.

• "For some reason, Rory always has a little bit of a lapse somewhere around the tournament," Nicklaus said of McIlroy's focus.
• The commentary comes as Tiger Woods' Official World Golf Ranking has plummeted to #2375.
