Good day and welcome to the Breakfast Ball Buffet — where we spill the golf tea so you can pretend you actually care about something other than your handicap. Here’s what’s on the burner today ↓
A busy week in September đź‘€

A busy week in September đź‘€
It’s pretty rare that we get busy weeks in the world of pro golf post-Tour Championship.
However, this week, we have a banger event on the DP World Tour, LIV Chicago, and a really solid field on the PGA Tour.
Irish Open
The Irish Open is already underway at the best course on planet earth (not up for debate, sorry). How lucky are we that we get to watch Royal County Down on TV this weekend?
I mean, just look at the place ↓

We’re never this lucky in September. Like ever. The field has a handful of solid names with Rory, Shane, Bobby Mac headlining, and then falls off a cliff.
My favorite tee box I’ve ever stood on, and the best golf course I’ve ever played. That place is *heaven.*

Can’t wait to watch the fellas come down the stretch on Sunday before football.
LIV Chicago
It’s LIV’s individual championship this week, and it’s taking place at Bolingbrook Golf Club in Chicago.
With the usual suspects playing, it’s shocking that they’re playing a serious professional golf event at this place… when I say it’s bad, I mean it’s baaaaaad ↓

I will definitely tune in and out at some points, but that’s only because I wanna see Brooks and Bryson battle it out.
Procore Championship
The PGA Tour is kicking off it’s 2025 season at the Procore Championship in Cali, and the field isn’t totally horrible.
Presidents Cup=ers Wyndham, Sahith, Conners, Homa, and Min Woo are headlining… could be worse.
The least intriguing event of the weekend in my opinion, but beggars can’t be choosers!
Our beautiful shit-show of a golf world 🤦‍♂️
Ever since the Saudi’s poked their way into the pro golf world, it’s been a complete shit show, as we all know.
Up first, Jon Rahm says he’s gonna play in DP World Tour events regardless of the sanctions that are in place (lol) ↓
🚨💶❌ JUST IN: Jon Rahm says he’s refusing to pay his DP World Tour fines as penalty for playing LIV events but the Spaniard says he intends to play 3 upcoming DPWT tournaments including the Spanish Open with the goal of making the Ryder Cup team.

Next, we have Joaquin Niemann, who’s not so thrilled that he can’t play in the Presidents Cup ↓

"It's supposed to be the best golfers in the world and they're not doing that right now."

I’m actually a big Niemann guy, but I think we should all come together and agree that he isn't allowed to comment on the state of professional golf until he manages to tie Michael Block for career Top 15 finishes in majors. Currently 1-0 Blockie despite Joaquin playing three times as many majors.
No but in all seriousness, he is right, it sucks and they needa pull it together sooner than later.
While we’re talking about the eventual merger…

Scottie 🤝 Tyreek
The new trend in 2024 is superstars getting arrested on gameday, and then absolutely popping off.
Scottie got arrested right before his first round tee time at the PGA Championship in May and shot 66.
Tyreek got arrested on his way to the season opener last weekend and went for 130 yards and a touchdown.
I needa try getting arrested before my next round of golf…

Fair to say that 2024 was a pretty wild year in golf, and now that we know Full Swing has a new season coming, I’m pretty amped up.
