👋 Hey Golf fans,
Let’s be honest, for golf nuts, the Olympics officially start today. The giants like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm, who as we told you last week was the highest-paid athlete in Paris, are set to butt heads. Interestingly, our on-ground team in Paris tells us that Rory McIlroy has had a change of heart regarding the quadrennial battle.
The Ulsterman made some telling observations in his recent press conference. It’s clear now that he isn’t 2016’s McIlroy, who tuned in to the Rio Olympics but skipped golf.
Amid all this hype, the man denied of an Olympic Spot, Bryson DeChambeau, has demanded a PGA Tour invitation! Outrageous? Wait till you hear the story and the twist behind it. We’ll dive into all this, and relive Xander Schauffele’s iconic victory that was homage to his Olympian aspiring, tragedy-struck dad, today.
So, let’s get started…
