👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},

Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, and even Scottie Scheffler all shared concerns about one core aspect of the PGA Tour. Their voices carried enough weight that the Tour began rethinking its approach, and we look at what came of that. Also: DJ's curious response to LIV’s plight, Bryson DeChambeau’s answer to his critics, your daily golf game, and a nod to Sam Snead on his birthday in today's edition.

Let’s get started…

Your Shampoo Is Making Your Hair Thinner. Use This Instead.

Most shampoos strip the scalp. SLS, salt, parabens — the standard formula that cleans your hair while quietly working against it. If you've noticed thinning and haven't changed your shampoo, that's where to start.

Particle Hair-Thickening Shampoo is SLS-free, salt-free, and paraben-free. It doesn't just clean — it rebuilds, from root to tip, with a science-backed formula that makes hair look and feel fuller over time. Thinning hair can quietly take a toll on how you feel every day. This is the switch that fixes it. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
