Summary
This week on Off Track, we discuss the end of LIV Golf funding and whether the league ultimately failed or changed golf forever. We break down why fans never fully connected with LIV, what the PIF may have originally wanted from golf, and what happens next for players like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. We also discuss Bryson’s possible PGA Tour return, YouTube golf’s growing influence, and the PGA Tour’s changing media policies. Finally, we dive into the real reason most golfers make double bogeys and why course management, decision making, and putting matter more than most amateurs realize.
