Tiger’s Major Absence & Homa’s Caddie Panic - May 29th, 2026
On May 29th, 2026, the golf world grapples with Tiger Woods' major championship absence and LIV Golf's financial panic, while Max Homa and Patrick Rodgers battle their own mental hurdles at Colonial.
- Max Homa made a desperate caddie swap less than 24 hours before the Charles Schwab Challenge, firing Lance Bennett for close friend Peter Pappageorge to find mental comfort amidst a brutal slump.
- Homa has dropped to 123rd in the OWGR, prompting fans to say, "it just feels like he is spiraling."
- Meanwhile, Patrick Rodgers is making his 329th winless start, but feels "bulletproof" after reading a letter from his wife Jade stating, "The greatest thing you have ever done is not written on the leaderboard."
- Tiger Woods will officially miss all four 2026 majors, including The Open at Royal Birkdale, following his March DUI crash that left his Range Rover destroyed in a junkyard.
- USGA CEO Mike Whan admitted he'd be "super surprised" if Tiger ever plays a USGA event again.
- In stark contrast, Phil Mickelson filed paperwork for Royal Birkdale to keep his Open streak alive since 2009, despite dealing with a family health emergency.
- LIV Golf is facing severe financial belt-tightening from the PIF, leading to reported vendor payment issues and the abrupt cancellation of their $59.99 "Any Shot Any Time" streaming service.
- Reporter Josh Carpenter detailed a massive $250M investment scramble currently underway behind the scenes to keep operations afloat.
- On the course, 50-year-old Ian Poulter is playing LIV Korea with a torn meniscus, claiming he has "no sensation throughout the golf swing that there is anything wrong."
MLB Hall of Famer John Smoltz is prepping for the US Senior Open at the Bear's Club and demanding a golf shot clock, noting, "It saved baseball because baseball was dead." • PGA Tour Studios' "Mindful" series takes a deep dive into Patrick Rodgers' mental health journey. • Junkyard photos of Tiger Woods' destroyed vehicle from his March DUI crash have officially surfaced.
