On January 10th, 2026, we break down the fallout from Brooks Koepka’s official PGA Tour reinstatement application, Jon Rahm’s standoff over fines, and Anthony Kim’s dramatic survival at Black Diamond Ranch.

• Brooks Koepka officially filed for PGA Tour reinstatement on Jan 9, triggering a complex disciplinary review by player directors rather than a simple rubber-stamp approval.
• While Rahm predicts a limited schedule, Bryson DeChambeau takes a hardline stance, arguing the Tour "should do it by the book and not give any special exemption."
• The move is heavily influenced by family following his wife Jena’s miscarriage, with management confirming that "Family has always guided Brooks' decisions."

• Jon Rahm appeared on *Subpar* refusing to pay $3M in DP World Tour fines and defending Pat Perez’s "ridiculous" suspension that is delaying his Champions Tour debut.
• Anthony Kim survived a thriller at the LIV Golf Promotions event, using a miracle chip-in on the 13th and a clutch birdie on the 18th to advance.
• AK described the round as a mirror of his "roller coaster" life perspective, while Richard T. Lee holds the lead at Black Diamond Ranch.

• Farmers Insurance will end its sponsorship of Torrey Pines after 2026, while Brandel Chamblee questions Vijay Singh taking a spot at age 62 over younger talent.
• Michael Kim shuts down rumors of Bryson retiring to YouTube, confirming the Crusher is staying on the course.
• Tiger Woods celebrated his 50th at The Breakers with Jon Bon Jovi and a "greatest hits" menu of burgers and sushi.
