👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},

LIV Golf is desperately looking for an investor, and it appears that they’re ready to make a huge compromise to secure a new financial backer. Meanwhile, Brooks Koepka (-8/T2) tried to copy Scottie Scheffler’s (-5/T16) move, and a YouTube golf league’s founder faces a stark reality.

Let’s get started…

The latest development is another indication of LIV’s ever-growing struggle to stay afloat.






Trade the Majors

The biggest major of the year is this weekend — and with Kalshi, you don't just watch it. You trade it.

Take a position on who wins, who makes the cut, and how the leaderboard shakes out. With Kalshi, you buy "Yes" or "No" shares based on what you think happens — and earn returns if you're right.

No house. Peer-to-peer. Transparent market pricing. Cash out before the final round if you want.

The markets are live. To get you started, we're giving you a free $10. No deposit, no catch.

The biggest moments in golf. Now they're tradeable.

Trade responsibly.
