ListenThe anonymous message came from the caddie himself. Days later, Cliff Ellis and Alejandro Tosti each told me their side of what happened.
ListenPeter Jacobsen and Huey Lewis are keeping the spirit of the old Pebble Beach Pro-Am alive—one round, one story and one song at a time.
Defining “All-in”. This is Madison Young. She had full LPGA status 2 years ago, conditional this season. Bounced back and forth between LPGA and @EpsonTour She is broke. More than broke. She and her husband Tyler are over 100K in debt. She still knows she can play. But right now can’t afford Q-school. Sign-ups are early next week. Tyler caddies for her but also works full-time on the road. He’s up early to work and works after each round. I asked if she had a job she could do if she stopped playing “I’m a college dropout who has never had a job.” They have looked into filing bankruptcy. “The only way out at this point is play better” she told me thru tears at the pro-am party this week. The last part of this season she has borrowed from family to just get to the next event. Hoping to play well enough to pay them back. But it’s nearly impossible to play under that pressure. This week’s winner gets $100,000. One good week and the debt would be almost wiped away. Madison is -4 and T6.
No. 14 on the Epson Tour's Race for the Card talks about the pressure of trying to secure her LPGA status at the Epson Tour Championship this week at Indian Wells Resort in Palm Springs, California. Full Any Given Monday can be found on Apple or Spotify.
Forget for a minute whether you agree or disagree with the ruling. The fact Kisner was “going crazy” during the commercial break is what makes golf coverage so boring. Go crazy on air. Say Ogilvy should stop the Presidents Cup on air. Bring in rules officials and question it. But he knows there is a line he can’t cross. because the Tour will call him and shut it down.
This is the full story behind the viral video of Alejandro Tosti's caddie walking off the course. Disagreements over money, arguments on the course, and how an umbrella was the final straw. The caddies side, Tosti's side, and a phone call from the Tour that nearly killed the story. https://t.co/sswKmaNudb
A. This was funny and great to see a relaxed side of Scottie. B. Watch the look at 1:07 mark when Scottie looks over at his agent or publicist who is having a heart attack behind the camera and frantically gesturing to get Scottie to stop talking about the arrest.* *this is a guess, but to me what is likely happening

An American Comeback at the Presidents Cup
Update from someone in the know: @Mike_kim714 was correct. They plan to be profitable by end of next season. According to who I spoke with Things started to turn around Covid and this year they will break even. A big part of that is cost saving was the cutting of 20% of players from pension. But also good brand deals and sponsorship.
A message from Madison Young, who you all raised around $6,000 so far. (Followed by a message to the haters from me) I’m extremely thankful for the outpouring of people who have reached out and supported me through the most difficult time of my golf career. It’s incredible the amount of people who sent money and kind messages wishing me luck and encouragement to never give up. Because of these people I have a chance to keep going. I look forward to thanking these people again with a win on the LPGA tour someday. To the haters who said “give up” or “get a job” from me: First of all, thank you. Sadly when I try to raise money for female players I often well short of what I hope to raise. For every comment that she should quit it motivated multiple people to donate. So thank you. I’ve raised significant money for maybe 50 to 60 players. In those other instances I got maybe one or two comments about them “getting a job”, but for Madison I got maybe a hundred. Guess what the only difference is? Correct, she is a woman. And I’ll give you one guess who has the best resume of the players I’ve raised money for? That’s right, Madison Young. I’ve never raised money for a player who has won on the KFT, never raised money for someone who has made it the PGA Tour (as a member). I’ve raised money for players who never had a single start on any major tour, players who didn’t play college golf, and players who had at that point never got thru first stage of Q-school. And hardly a single comment. Madison had won on the Epson, been a member of the LPGA and hopes to get back there again. So to the haters, thank you for bringing awareness to the many hurdles female pros face. Finding financial backing to keep their dream alive being a big one. I hope companies and people at clubs where female pros play are more aware of the hurdles facing them and offer to help. And I hope Madison wins on the LPGA one day, because the screenshots I took of the replies to that tweet will be a string of #receipts like you have never seen before.

Update on the greatest Monday Q success story in the history of golf. Steve Alker has turned one Monday Q into: 14 Champions Tour wins and over $15 million in earnings. Ridiculous.
What a coincidence, MQI LLC closed on a $24 funding raise from my mom. (Wrote the check to us for her part of the cell phone bill for the wrong amount) https://t.co/ta6Pl8tjUl
