JON RAHM: I almost feel -- I feel for Jay Monahan. If you see his time as a commissioner, he had to deal with COVID and now this. I don't know if he signed up for all this or not.
I consider the PGA TOUR has done an amazing job giving us the best platform for us to perform. I do see the appeal that other people see towards the LIV Golf. I do see some of the -- I'll put this delicately -- points or arguments they can make towards why they prefer it.
To be honest, part of the format is not really appealing time. Shotgun three days to me is not a golf tournament, no cut. It's that simple. I want to play against the best in the world in a format that's
been going on for hundreds of years. That's what I want to see.

Edel SMS irons have been announced.They feature Edel’s Swing Match system weighting.Retail price is $250 per iron.Availability begins July 21.
If you’ve seen the company’s wedges, the story behind the new Edel SMS irons probably won’t surprise you. For Edel, not only does the SMS iron provide an opportunity to refresh its iron lineup with its movable weight technology but it also gives it a much-needed variable-length offering to sit alongside the SLS single-length offering.
We’ll dig into the tech in more detail but the signature feature of the Edel SMS irons is that it leverages movable weight (as part of the fitting process) to dial in the best center-of-gravity location for each golfer.
It’s a point of differentiation unique to Edel. It’s the reason why the company states, “Your irons can’t do this.” The question golfers must answer for themselves is, “Do they need to?”

OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME
Are you a putter fanatic? If a new putter comes to market, do you instantly jump on it? Or is your putting so atrocious that you’ll try anything to hole more putts?
In either case, perhaps I can pique your interest with two unique putters: L.A.B. Golf’s Directed Force 2.1 and Evnroll’s ER Zero.
Let’s take a look to see how they stacked up in 2022 Most Wanted Mallet testing.
VERDICT
Here is the skinny: Being able to return the putter face back to square is a game changer. It allows your putts to roll more consistently, be on target more consistently and, as a by-product, potentially make more putts. Same concept, two different OEMs (did I say that out loud?). What’s not to like?
