About this episode

The episode discusses the postponement of LIV Golf's Louisiana event and the ongoing developments in the PGA Tour amidst integration rumors.

In the ever-evolving world of professional golf, the PGA Tour and LIV Golf continue to shape the sport's landscape with fresh developments and ongoing rivalries. LIV Golf faces potential changes to its schedule, as Sky Sports reports the league may postpone its Louisiana event originally set for late June at Bayou Oaks in New Orleans. High temperatures, course conditions, and the FIFA World Cup's timing could hurt attendance, leaving a three-month gap in United States tournaments from the Virginia stop in early May until the August event at Trump Bedminster in New Jersey. Organizers are coordinating with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry's office to reschedule for September or October. Meanwhile, the PGA Tour buzzes with high-profile action. The 2026 PGA Professional Championship kicked off at Oregon's Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, featuring play on the Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes courses for the first time, according to PGA.com. This national event for PGA of America professionals offers an $850,000 purse, with the top finishers earning spots in the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club. Broadcasts air on Golf Channel through April 29. Speculation swirls around LIV's future…
