I suspect it means LIV golfers will be eligible for Olympics. This was the only way since majors allowed these players to compete and the Ryder Cup would be a no-win for Europe if the best Americans would be missing (I'm not sure if LIV Americans would be banned outright but I heard that wouldn't be the case?). Overall LIV totally forced the PGA changes after they lost the monopoly on the sport (European Tour was long playing second fiddle anyway). Even forcing players to attend certain tournaments at least once in a four year span is gone from next PGA season IIRC.

Nick Taylor won the Canadian Open. Adam Hadwin wanted to congratulate him but was mistaken for a crazy fan and promptly tackled by the security I mean if this happened in Middle East or USA then I could understand it but it appears Hadwin is unrecognizeable even in his own country

For all the PGA-LIV merger/takeover hoopla Wyndham Clark winning US Open must be the most anonymous and low-key moment for years. There's literally nothing worth remembering from this tournament at all - aside that McIlroy's putting is horrendous as usual and it cost him another victory in the big picture.

 24-years old Linn Grant wins Dana Open 2023 and her first title on the LPGA-tour.

It's Ryder time, let's go Europe

[phelps 8,302]

sloppy start for the US team, great start for the European team

 

result: 3-0 Europe and the 4th pair 2 up with 3 holes to play...it would be the first clean sweep for Europe in a morning session, the 4th overall (last one, in 2018)

 

a lot more people than expected on the course, a bright sunny day, the course perfectly setup (in a very tough and "homish" manner); despite all the idiots trying to cause problems (as it happens for any event organized in Italy), it's already a great success

[Gianlu33 5,288]

For the frist time ever, Europe won 4-0 the session
