Spieth Entangled in Rules Dispute - LITE

👋 Hey Golf Fans,
It’s Friday, and we are talking about Jordan Spieth, Scottie Scheffler, and Tiger Woods. If you’re curious about the broadcast outage of LIV Mexico yesterday, here is all you need to know. Today, we’re also covering LIV Golf’s latest lawsuit. All that, some quick trivia, your favorite games, and more in this edition.
Let’s get started…
The three-time major champion was visibly frustrated after a lengthy discussion with a rules official.
A Courageous Work the World Has Been Waiting for
An important work has just been released—one that demands everyone’s attention. It's shocking enough that it took a senator years to believe it.
Ambassador Sam Brownback was a young member of the U.S. Senate twenty years ago. When he first started hearing horrific stories of forced organ harvesting in China, he didn’t believe them.
“It just seemed too barbaric, too animalistic. This was something out of the Middle Ages, not the twenty-first century,” Brownback said.
He discounted the stories—but to his surprise, they kept coming.
Eventually, Brownback changed his mind. He found he was no different from those in the 1940s who doubted the atrocities committed by the Nazis. A priest once told him, “When we see people no longer as people, but as problems, man is capable of great inhumanity against his fellow man.”
However, when people around the world travel to China for organ transplants, they perhaps involuntarily all become part of such inhumanity.
What can we do about it?—Don’t turn away from it any longer.
After spending two decades researching and covering China’s forced organ harvesting, Jan Jekielek, journalist and host of "American Thought Leaders," is exposing everything he’s found in his new book, “Killed to Order,” already a New York Times bestseller.
From the earliest testimonies and victims estimates to years of interviews and the latest "impossible" survivor, the evidence documented in his work leaves little room for doubt.

Tuesday’s Picture Puzzle: Tommy Fleetwood. 52.52% of you got it right.
The Out of Bounds rule has been changed and modified countless times. It was part of the “Articles & Laws in Playing at Golf,” the earliest known official rule of golf, which is also known as the “13 Articles”. The severest version of this rule was adopted by St. Andrews in 1842. The rule handed a three-stroke and distance penalty, which effectively translated to five strokes when a golfer hit the second shot after the first one went out of bounds. Little wonder it was rescinded only four years later.
