👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},
Jon Rahm surprised everyone when he posed with Greg Norman in December 2023, wearing a LIV Letterman jacket and ditching the PGA Tour. He has been the captain of his team, Legion XIII. But this might be the last year you will see him in LIV colors. Meanwhile, Ted Scott spoke about his new look, Tiger congratulated golf’s teen stars, and Justin Thomas had an interesting thought to share.

I Almost Threw Out My Keurig. It Wasn't Broken.
Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.
The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.
1958: Gordon Brand Jr. was born on this date in Scotland. An eight-time DP World Tour winner, Gordon represented his country twice at the Ryder Cup.
1962: Homero Blancas, aka “Mr. 55,” shot 55 in what would become the lowest score in competitive golf. Rhein Gibson matched that in 2012.
2001: David Toms won his first PGA Championship. He defeated Phil Mickelson by one stroke.
Considering the Scottie Scheffler-Ted Scott scenario, tell us…
