👋 {{readername | Hey, golf fans}},
Good afternoon!
You were one of the most engaged readers of our PGA Championship coverage, following everything from rules fiascos to poor shots and poorer looks! Clearly, you’re a golf sicco, and to make it easier for you, we’ve rounded up the biggest news from this week. From JT’s argument with the rules official to Jason Day’s quirky apparel, you’ll find the stories that made waves at Aronimink in one place.
As for the current state at Aronimink, the scoring opportunities have opened up. Kurt Kitayama shot 63, just one stroke shy of matching the 18-hole scoring record at the majors. The leaders have yet to tee off.
P.S. We’ll hit your inbox again when the tournament is over, with all the updates you need from what promises to be a crazy Sunday.
Let’s get started…
Your Retirement Has a Vulnerability Most Advisors Never Mention.
Dollar-denominated accounts — 401(k)s, IRAs, savings — are fully exposed to inflation, currency debasement, and government policy. Most financial advisors won't tell you that, because most of them don't profit when you know. Here's what's actually available to you:
A Gold IRA uses the same tax protections you already have
Physical gold sits outside inflation and banking risk
Accounts can go live in as little as 24 hours
Zero setup fees, zero-fee buyback guaranteed
Free 2026 kit explains everything — no obligation
