On this Saturday, December 27th, 2025, we analyze the fallout of Brooks Koepka leaving LIV Golf, honor the legendary Jumbo Ozaki, and debate the end of the blade putter era.

THE COLD HARD REALITY

We dive into the shockwaves of Brooks Koepka leaving LIV Golf. Leaning on analysis from The Athletic’s Brody Miller, we discuss how Koepka "never bought in" to the team format, viewing the league as a transaction rather than an ideological shift.

• The Reality Check: Koepka is now in limbo and cannot return to the PGA Tour until August 2026.
• The Takeaway: It wasn't a revolution for Brooks; it was just business.

TRIBUTE TO A LEGEND

We pay our respects to Masashi "Jumbo" Ozaki, the "Arnold Palmer of Japan," who passed away at 78. We recount his incredible transition from professional baseball pitcher to a global golf icon who racked up 113 professional wins worldwide.

• The Stat: 113 victories across a storied career.
• The Legacy: He didn't just play the game; he popularized it for an entire nation.

TIGER TALES & TECH FAILS

Lanny Wadkins airs his grievances over his PNC Championship snub while predicting Tiger Woods will play the Champions Tour 10-12 times a year to keep pace with Charlie. Plus, we break down Tiger’s shocking 82-yard miss in the TGL simulator.

• The Quote: Lanny believes Tiger needs the reps to "keep up with Charlie during college."
• Fun Fact: Even the GOAT isn't immune to simulator glitches.
