We break down the fallout of Brooks Koepka’s LIV departure, Bryson DeChambeau’s contract posturing, and the Woods family’s eventful week at the Junior Orange Bowl.

• Bryson DeChambeau admits he was "shocked" by Brooks Koepka’s exit and hints at using the power vacuum for his own contract leverage. Meanwhile, the desperate scramble for three spots begins at the LIV Promotions event at Black Diamond Ranch.
• Miguel Tabuena risks a functional two-year PGA Tour ban to play, stating his goal is simply to "provide for Sandra and Paloma."
• Anthony Kim and Chase Koepka headline a field of players fighting for their professional lives in Florida.

• Charlie Woods finishes T-22 at the Junior Orange Bowl, but the headline is a scary "freak sequence" where a ball ricocheted off a root near his face under the watchful eyes of Tiger and Elin Nordegren.
• Projections show Tiger could be mathematically unranked with zero OWGR points by the time the 2026 Open Championship arrives.
• Social media roasts Tiger’s off-center Sun Day Red belt while he praises Charlie’s recovery with a "Hell of a shot."

• Backlash grows over the Trump Administration terminating the National Links Trust lease in DC, with critics fearing the end of affordable public golf at East Potomac.
• Matt Ginella calls the move "indefensible," comparing Doral’s $595 fees to the accessible $40 rates currently in DC.
• Tommy Gainey shows pure class by withdrawing from the Bahamas Great Exuma Classic to give a younger pro a shot because it’s "ten times harder" now.
