Short News Snippets From Around The World

Good News For TGL. The Tomorrow's Golf League (TGL) faced setbacks but now promises a fresh start in January 2025. With its innovative approach blending high-tech simulations and entertainment, backed by golf icons like Tiger Woods, TGL aims to captivate audiences with its fast-paced matches and potential for gambling excitement. Despite skepticism, TGL's unique format and star power could reshape the golfing landscape.
Phil’s New Caddie. Jon Yarbrough, Scott Stallings' seasoned caddie of over a decade, is poised to join Phil Mickelson's team for the 2024 Masters and LIV Golf Miami. Stallings bids a heartfelt farewell to Yarbrough, acknowledging his profound impact. Meanwhile, Mickelson's brother, Tim, retires after eight years as his caddie, citing family commitments.
He Is Human After All. At the Houston Open, Scottie Scheffler's remarkable streak of 28 consecutive PGA Tour rounds under par ended with a level-par 70 in the second round. The putter was Scheffler’s weakest link again, after he missed a few makeable putts, which lead him to a 2nd place finish.
Baby No.3 Jon Rahm, gearing up to defend his Masters title, announced on social media that he and his wife Kelley are expecting their third child. Rahm, who recently joined LIV Golf, shared a photo featuring his two children and an ultrasound strip. Details like the baby's sex and due date were not disclosed.
Queen Korda. Nelly Korda, the World No. 1, secured her third consecutive LPGA victory by winning the Ford Championship with a dominant bogey-free 65. This achievement adds her name to the list of LPGA greats. Korda is the first American to win three consecutive events since Nancy Lopez in 1978 and the first American to win three tournaments before April since Joanne Carner in 1980. Despite battling injuries in previous seasons, Korda’s recent success is attributed to her stronger body and refined mental approach. Should we see a joint LPGA and PGA Tour event?
