England’s Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter are the top stars returning to home turf for LIV Golf’s first event in London this week. To celebrate, they gave out a coupon code offering free passes to the first 100 fans using the codes POULTER25 or WESTWOOD25.

I’ve written about this virus before and its ability to keep going even as the game has grown substantially the last few years. But it’s such an elusive strain. So much so that LIV’s high-paid executives aren’t dialed in enough to know it’s a laughing stock amongst those in the coveted demo they are so hungry to sportwash on The YouTube.

Sub 70, the Running Back and the U.S. Open

You didn’t play high-level college golf? Doesn’t matter. You didn’t play competitive golf at any level? That doesn’t matter, either. The only thing that does matter is can you shoot the scores?

Pretty straightforward, right?

Gunning for Brookline

If you follow the NFL at all, you probably remember Woodhead. The 5’8” running back out of Division II Chadron State in Nebraska carved out the unlikeliest career, highlighted by three seasons with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Kevin Na Address His Lone Fan: I Must Resign From The PGA Tour

Like so many golfers, I became an “armchair architect” at an early age, constantly visualizing ways to improve my home course, Scioto, in Columbus, along with, as my wings spread, many of the others I played…more and more, I began to ask myself whether it was possible to create something more interesting and inviting.
