PEREZ JUMPS TO LIV, MASTERS BUBBLE HEATS UP - NOVEMBER 19TH, 2025


Listen Later

On November 19th, 2025, we break down Victor Perez's shocking move to LIV Golf, Lindy Duncan's powerful perseverance story, the Player of the Year debate, and the intense battle for a Masters spot at the RSM Classic.


LIV GOLF
  • Victor Perez makes a surprising mid-season jump to LIV Golf, withdrawing from the RSM Classic while sitting 108th in the FedExCup Fall standings to join Martin Kaymer's Cleeks GC, seeking a new chapter in his career.
  • Perez stated he was excited to join "golf's next great chapter" and praised Liv's "innovation and energy."
  • The move comes at a critical time, with Perez abandoning his PGA Tour card chase for the guaranteed money and team format of LIV.


LPGA TOUR
  • Lindy Duncan receives the Heather Farr Perseverance Award, delivering a powerful speech about her mental health journey after a "total out of body eight" at Q Series nearly ended her career and forced a complete mindset shift.
  • Duncan described moving from a "transactional" relationship with golf to letting "perseverance come from love instead of fear."
  • Her story is a moving testament to rediscovering joy in the game after feeling like she had "lost my job and a part of my heart."


PLAYER OF THE YEAR DEBATE
  • We dive into the Rory McIlroy vs. Scottie Scheffler debate, highlighting Dan Rapaport's argument that while Scheffler owned the PGA Tour, McIlroy's global dominance made him the true Worldwide Player of the Year.
  • Rapaport believes McIlroy's year was more defining, citing his Masters win, a road Ryder Cup victory, and the "Race to Dubai" title putting him "over the edge."
  • This debate pits consistent, statistical dominance against clutch performances in the biggest global events, a classic head vs. heart argument for golf fans.


PGA TOUR
  • All eyes are on the RSM Classic, where the chase for a top-50 world ranking and a coveted Masters invitation is coming down to the wire. Johnny Keefer enters the week precariously positioned at exactly 50th.
  • With Daniel Berger (53rd) and J.T. Poston (54th) also in the field, a huge week is required for anyone to leapfrog into an Augusta spot.
  • For players like Keefer, this week isn't just about a tournament win; it's about securing a career-changing invitation to play at Augusta National.
