TIGER TURNS 50 - December 30th, 2025

On Tuesday, December 30th, 2025, we break down Tiger’s injury-riddled milestone, DeChambeau’s contract leverage, and the cancellation of The Sentry.

TIGER AT 50

• Tiger is officially Champions Tour eligible today, but the celebration is bittersweet. After missing the entire 2025 season with a ruptured Achilles and back surgery No. 7, the "Senior Tour" debut is on indefinite hold.
• "I’m ready for twenty-five events," Woods joked sarcastically regarding his future schedule.
• Matt Kuchar notes the reality: Tiger’s goal has shifted from dominance to simple participation.

BRYSON’S LEVERAGE PLAY

• With Brooks Koepka leaving LIV, Bryson DeChambeau is flexing his leverage. He claims he doesn't need the league—or pro golf—to survive financially, putting pressure on contract negotiations.
• "I could just do YouTube golf and be totally fine," Bryson said, citing his 2.5 million subscribers.
• The threat highlights the shifting power dynamic between traditional play and digital content.

TOUR CONFESSIONS & CLASHES

• Scottie Scheffler goes existential, admitting that winning doesn't fulfill "the deepest places of your heart," even as TGL trademarks "Texas Golf Club" just to accommodate his travel preferences.
• Xander Schauffele pushes back against Rory McIlroy, noting a "class divide" regarding penalties for returning LIV players.
• The locker room remains split between the protected elites and those fighting for their cards.
