Recently, I’ve been blogging about the talk of the PGA Tour lately, which is a proposed pro golf tour that would compete with the PGA Tour like no other pro golf tour has ever done. This proposal is by LIV Golf, of which Greg Norman is the CEO. He is being called “the face” of this proposed tour. It is called the Super Golf League (SGL) and being funded through LIV Golf by the Saudi Arabian government, perhaps their Sovereign... Read more
Phil Mickelson–the fifty-one year old, left-handed, superstar pro golfer of the PGA Tour–apologized today for his highly critical comments against the PGA Tour that he has made in the past several days. I’ve been blogging about it (here, here, here, here, here) because it has been the talk of the Tour. A proposed pro golf tour called the Super Golf League and financially backed by the government of Saudi Arabia seeks to seriously compete with the PGA Tour like no... Read more
After two years of this devastating pandemic, medical researchers are now reporting a “red COVID” in the U.S. And I’m not referring to the nonsense some anti-vaxxers posit, that drinking red wine wards off COVID. Those people are just drinking too much red wine! Red COVID means Republican COVID. That is, state counties (red=Republican) throughout the U.S. that voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump as president have been in recent months having almost twice as many COVID deaths per capita of...

The proposed, Saudi-backed, Super Golf League, which is the big talk of the PGA Tour right now (see here, here, and here), reportedly is in talks with former U.S. President Donald Trump, representing his Trump Organization, to hold some of its expected pro golf tournaments on elite Trump golf courses, some in the U.S. including Trump Doral in Miami which reportedly has been losing some serious cash. You may recall that of all the nations where Donald Trump visited during... Read more
I’ve been blogging about the big talk by the pros on the PGA Tour right now. It’s a proposed pro golf tour financed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund called Super Golf League that would be in serious competition with the PGA Tour. It would be a limited field of perhaps forty players who would play in a dozen tournaments or more, and the players would be guaranteed huge sums of money. Of course, the PGA Tour has never guaranteed... Read more
Joaquin Niemann, from Santiago, Chile, just now won the Genesis Invitational on the famed Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, which is right next to Santa Monica. It was his second win on the PGA Tour for the 23-year old up-and-coming new pro golf star. Niemann shot a blistering pair of 63s the first two days to break the 36-hole scoring record in this tournament, which is one of the oldest in PGA Tour history. Joaquin then led... Read more
Johns Hopkins University in New York has produced a chart showing COVID deaths per million people in thirteen nations, some of them being the largest in the world. Among them, the U.S. is the second worst, and China is by far the best. The U.S. has been having nearly 2,800 COVID deaths per million people, and China has been having only a mere three COVID deaths per million people. These COVID statistics leads one to wonder if democracy’s freedom, exhibited... Read more
I’ve been blogging about the proposed Saudi-backed Super Golf League (professional) that would lure players away from the PGA Tour and thereby compete with it by offering them huge sums of guaranteed income. One of those posts, here, is about 50-year old superstar Phil Mickelson supporting this proposal and in so doing heavily criticizing the PGA Tour in some specific ways that, however, lack necessary details, showing the Phil seems to be rather ill-informed about how the PGA Tour operates....

In 1957, the Soviet Union shot a battery-operated satellite into outer space that circled around the earth 326 times during a period of about three months and then fell out its orbit and burned up in earth’s atmosphere. It was a shiny, silver-colored ball only about 18 inches in diameter, and it was called Sputnik. That was the first time humans had ever shot anything into outer space. The Soviets were so proud of themselves. It made them look very... Read more
Phil Mickelson is second only to Tiger Woods among superstars on the PGA Tour in this century. Phil has won 45 PGA Tour tournaments, six of which have been majors. And Phil generally is a fan favorite. He gives good interviews at tournaments by sharing himself quite extensively. I would think that Phil Mickelson’s financial net worth would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. But right now, in my opinion and it seems that of most of the... Read more
