With JoAnne Carner no longer competing, eyes turned to Moxness to see if she could shoot a number near her age. On Thursday at Barton Hills in Michigan she made three bogeys and two birdies to shoot 73, making it the third time in her last five rounds at this championship that she’s shot her age or better. An amazing feat for the woman who was a rookie on the LPGA in 1978. “I keep saying to myself every year are you going to retire now, then things happen and I don’t,” she said. “It’s harder as I get older. It’s harder to stay in shape, it’s harder to stay stronger. I don’t think mentally I’m quite as focused as I used to be. But I can still get out there and do it.” Golf … such an amazing game!

Apple TV announced the second season of "Stick" will premiere Nov. 4. And it looks like Emmy Award nominee Rhea Seehorn ("Pluribus" and "Better Call Saul") is joining an already stellar cast. 

I had the pleasure of profiling Wilson and writing about how his role as Pryce Cahill, a former tour pro whose career was cut short, got him into golf. And with more than two months until "Stick" season 2 starts, golf fans have plenty of time to get caught up on season 1—or, to at least read Golf Digest's story.  

Though O’Neil didn’t really outline any specific details regarding LIV’s future on Wednesday at the Indianapolis event, powerbrokers in the industry were amused by his repeated use of “complete, not compete,” specifically in the aftermath of LIV attempting to raid several DP World Tour events and national opens to its 2.0 schedule. And while this was mostly before O’Neil’s time, those stakeholders don’t forget LIV poaching players, financing an antitrust assault and distorting the market with unsustainable purses. To the rest of golf LIV's call for peace feels less like diplomacy than the desperation of a five-year blitzkrieg that has finally run out of ammunition.

Relax, the BMW Championship didn't start early. Nor did LIV Golf Indianapolis, despite the league's race against the financial clock. Instead, the remarkable round of 58—including a jaw-dropping 27 on the inward nine—belonged to Minor League Golf Tour pro Domenico Geminiani who got flamin' hot with the flatstick on Wednesday. Just check out his scorecard if you don't believe us.

There must be something in the air, as we've seen countless low numbers—including an elusive 59 from Michael Kim at the 3M Open—in recent weeks. Geminiani, who also moonlights as a pickleball pro, clearly caught the bug at Indian Spring Country Club, closing with a 35-foot birdie bomb on No. 17 and an 12-foot eagle make on the par-5 18th. Needless to say, that next beer is on us, DG.

At least, according to one golf statistician. Arccos Golf's Lou Stagner crunched the numbers regarding Scheffler's streak of consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking (currently 170 weeks) and determined he's currently a slight favorite to top Tiger's all-time mark of 281 straight weeks at the top.

Woods also had a streak of 264 weeks and he holds the record for total weeks spent at No. 1 (683 weeks) in the ranking that was first released in 1986. Of course, Scheffler still has a long way to go, nearly two years to be exact. But coming off an eight-shot win in Memphis—and considering how far he's ahead of World No. 2 Rory McIlroy—it's hard to imagine him slowing down by then. 

The former is Scottie Scheffler. The latter is the two-time reigning Masters champion—which would be himself. “I’m not the player of the year. No chance,” McIlroy flatly stated Wednesday on the eve of the BMW Championship, the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. “Scottie is.”

That seems definitive. But then he added some, um, colorful emphasis to his claim. “Well, sorry, there's two weeks to go,” McIlroy said, allowing that there still is room for another contender to emerge. “But I firsthand watched [Scheffler] for the first two days last week, and he if he keeps playing like that … if he gains nine strokes on the greens every week, we're all F'd.”

That’s Rory telling us how he really feels. He probably is not alone.

That would be Ted Goldthorpe of BC Partners, a private equity firm based in London that has ties to GSE Worldwide—the agency that represents a sizable portion of LIV’s roster. It was never truly a mystery, despite LIV not announcing the name. Goldthorpe was at LIV Bedminster earlier this month and the GSE connection made this a known thing throughout the industry. What is not known is if BC Partners’ investment is actually a loan, if its contingent on other investors joining and/or certain LIV players returning. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil is supposed to speak at 1 p.m. today outside of Indianapolis, which is the only scheduled press conference this week, so perhaps more detail will be given then.

The Oklahoma State senior was awarded the Mark H. McCormack Medal on Wednesday as the No. 1-ranked male in the 2026 World Amateur Golf Ranking. With the honor, which is awarded jointly by the USGA and R&A, the 22-year-old Texan gets exemptions into two majors in 2027—the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and 155th Open at the Old Course. Stout won five times in the 2025-26 college season, including the individual NCAA title and the Big 12 Championship, which he captured for a record third time. We’ll next see Stout when he plays for the U.S. Walker Cup team in Ireland, Sept 5-6.

That would be Gary Woodland, who’s in the middle of an incredible comeback campaign. Earlier this year Woodland went public with his struggles with PTSD following brain surgery, an issue that makes it hard for him to play when big crowds are around. Just a month after that announcement, Woodland captured the Houston Open for his first win since the 2019 U.S. Open. While Woodland is in the top 50 in the world and No. 31 in the FedEx Cup rankings, captain Brandt Snedeker has gone ahead and tabbed Woodland to be a part of his assistant captains. Woodland also served in a similar capacity last year for Keegan Bradley at the Ryder Cup.

Coleman Rollins had a month of PTO to burn last December, no golf to play and a growing frustration with launch monitors that either cost more than a car or flat-out estimated the numbers. So he bought a Doppler radar and a Raspberry Pi and started building his own. The result is Open Flight—an open-source launch monitor anyone can build at home, with software that's getting sharpened by everyday golfers who happen to know their way around code.

His pitch to the rest of us? "It's 500 bucks compared to $30,000."

Ball and club speed are dialed. Launch angles are inside half a degree. And the spin rates? Coming along.

Coleman joins the latest Club Lab podcast to share his origin story. Give it a listen.
