    Rahm was saying the Masters dinner could be tense.  If anything, the current PGA players should be thanking the LIV golfers for the higher PGA purses this year.  

    I need to watch the new season of NLU.  Looks like some cool courses. 

    Do you think JT and Spieth would be doing the NLU show from Kapalua without the PIP ?   Maybe, but makes sense the players are giving this access to the podcasters.  Will be a fun watch.

    NLU, JT and all that...I assume this was maybe set up through Titleist and that new partnership? Apparently Speith was an unexpected add on and NLU has always been tight with JT so there is something there, but I mean, it's always about the money...Looking forward to watching it, but it's pretty long...90 minutes, I think I saw.

    KAPALUA TONIGHT!!!

    I’d assume soon! Think I saw on Twitter they’re talking to players about this season now

    Doesn't it seem odd that its like a documentary about last season that would now be airing this season? I guess I was expecting it to be sort of like Hard Knocks where it's more current. Either way, I can't wait to watch

    I think I heard on a podcast somewhere that it's coming out sometime in February after the Super Bowl.

    Love the Hawaii swing to start off the year...can't beat primetime golf.

    The NLU Kapalua match is fun. Definitely set up through Titleist

    Yeah that was pretty good.  Going with Titleist is going to open up a lot more for them

    Kapalua has always been a special place, but boy it’s in the best shape Ever this week !! I highly recommend making this tournament someday…ticket prices are low, the weather is always perfect, and everyone is all about the Aloha….
    We always run into players all over w/ their familes…earlier this week at the beach we saw JT and Spieph trying to learn how to surf, it was hysterical w/ smiles all around.

    Was watching an old interview with Letterman and Iggy Pop. Near the end Dave starts to ask Iggy about golf. Wow…who knew. Iggy has a real passion for the sport. Dave was asking if they had any clubs or balls in studio and was going to put Iggy to the test. Iggy seemed very confident and up to the challenge but it was the end of the interview and they just kind of let well enough alone. Just thought I’d share. Thanks

    Holy fuck how did I miss the last 2 hours of this?!? Rahm might win every tournament?

    Helluva a round.  That is what happens at this tourney.  Morikawa had a 6 shot lead coming in and would have needed a 4 under round to win.  Crazy.

    Can't wait.  Shocked that they got Rory to be involved.  I don't think he was one of the golfers featured when they originally announced it...

    Hell yeah! 

    Maybe Rory was added late?

    Sounds like it was just one sit down maybe? Assume as the LIV stuff was going down maybe?

    Nice win for Rahm.  Was interesting that coming into this week that Cantlay could have jumped to #1 but even if Rahm won he couldn't get to #1.  But Rahm entered the week ahead of Cantlay.  Crazy system.

    I've played the Stadium Course the last two falls.  It is a fun course to play.  From the tees I play I wouldn't say it is the most difficult course I've ever played, but plenty of chances to drown a ball in the water if you are off that day, and a few holes where if you miss the green on the wrong side it is going to be a difficult up and down.  Paid less than $100 each round in October.  Just have to deal with 100 degree temps which isn't too bad.  

    Moving to South Carolina this spring so year-round golf now for the bootlegger!
