Adam Scott slams journalist Eamon Lynch, accusing him of taking ‘cheap shots’ and ‘personal barbs’
The past few years have been more divisive than any time in the history of professional golf. With the emergence of LIV Golf and the ensuing legal battles that took place, most fans and media members responded by taking a side, which fractured the sport.

On Thursday, Adam Scott took to his Instagram story to criticize Golfweek’s Eamon Lynch, who’s verbose diatribes against LIV and its members have been a consistent presence in the news cycle.
The Aussie implored Lynch and others to “put aside personal barbs and fluffy adjectives” and instead use facts to converse on these controversial topics.
Scott added that “the process will likely be best served with objectivity and truth.”
Earlier this year, the former Masters champion was appointed to the Player Advisory Council. Scott is extremely well-respected amongst his peers and his words should hold weight.

Golf fans are loving this awkward Bryson fan interaction video at latest LIV event
Over the weekend at LIV Golf London, Bryson DeChambeau continued his solid run of form, finishing in 13th place. Centurion Club had a respectable turnout of fans on site, with plenty following the big-hitting Dechambeau.
At one point, a fan reached out to fist bump the former U.S. Open champion but didn’t quite reach. The Crushers GC, of which Bryson captains, made a light-hearted post on Instagram with a video of the moment.

“These fans edits are getting out of control… ?”
DeChambeau commented on the post, “just a couple inches short…”
The 29-year-old will tee it up next at the 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool. He had success at the Open Championship hosted by St. Andrews last year, finishing in 8th place.

Content creator leaves golf fans triggered after showing how to make the perfect ‘John Daly’ cocktail
John Daly is one of the biggest names in golf despite not having played at very high level for quite some time due to injuries and health issues. Over the weekend, Daly found himself in some social media controversy once again, although it was no fault of his own.
A popular TikTok account, @cookingwith_darryl, mentioned a drink he called the “John Daly” in one of his videos. The food connoisseur has gotten very popular on the app by posting videos while cooking on his Blackstone grill.
“In my opinion there are two drinks synonymous with golf. You want to argue with me? Bring it! One is the Transfusion, the other is the John Daly. Let’s make the perfect John Daly.”
Darryl then went on to explain the ingredients: A chilled glass, vodka, and equal parts lemonade and iced tea.
@cookingwithdarryl Another classic drink for the golf course…The John Daly #drinks #golf #rukiddingme #rhoback ? original sound – dpostelnick
However, the TikTok users in the comment section were furious with the content creator, saying the drink he described was an “Arnold Palmer,” not a “John Daly.”
Darryl was sure to point out the very important distinction between the two: the “John Daly” contains vodka and “Arnold Palmer” does not.

‘Heartbreaking’ – Matt Wolff responds after being blasted by LIV teammate Brooks Koepka
Yesterday, Smash GC captain Brooks Koepka publicly blasted his teammate Matthew Wolff in an interview with Sports Illustrated.
“I mean, when you quit on your round, you give up and stuff like that, that’s not competing,” said Koepka. “I’m not a big fan of that. You don’t work hard. It’s very tough. It’s very tough to have even like a team dynamic when you’ve got one guy that won’t work, one guy is not going to give any effort, he’s going to quit on the course, break clubs, gets down, bad body language, it’s very tough. I’ve basically given up on him—a lot of talent, but I mean the talent’s wasted.”
On Friday morning, Wolff issued his response to Koepka via Sports Illustrated.
The 24-year-old said it was “beyond disappointing” to read Koepka’s comments.
“I read the SI interview with our Captain Brooks Koepka and it was beyond disappointing to me. When I chose to join his Team in 2023, I did so with much optimism about my new home as part of Team Smash and equally as important the chance to be around and learn from a player of Brooks’s stature. Like everyone who has ever played the game at the highest level, I have had competitive moments in the past that I feel I have let myself down and even others in our new team environment. This has been quite difficult for me. My challenges on and off the golf course with my mental health has been well documented. I deal with those challenges every day.
“However, while my 2023 season has not been all I had hoped for to this point, I have made positive strides in managing my life and feel Ike my game is turning for the positive. To hear through the media that our team leader has given up on me is heartbreaking. It’s not what a team member looks to hear from its leader, and I think we all know these comments should have been handled much differently. But I’m moving forward and won’t ever give up on myself. While on course results may not appear now to be positive indicators, I’m trying to win an even BIGGER game with my life.
“Finally, I trust Brooks wants what is best for our team. But it’s hard to imagine his comments in his recent SI interview in any way line up with those priorities. This will be my last comment on this matter. I’m heading out today to the Centurion Club trying to help our team win this week. I appreciate everyone’s continued support and your respect for my privacy.”
Both Koepka and Wolff will be teeing it up at Centurion Club on Friday. Koepka will be playing with Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson, while Wolff will play alongside his fellow Smash GC teammates (minus the captain) Chase Koepka and Jason Kokrak.

Cut off the head of the snake first, Adam. It comes from top down, the fact that idiots like Lynch and Shambles are continued to allowed to spew their vitriol and xenophobia. It’s NBC and its sick owners that need to be looped off.
Guaranteed that Arnold Palmer wouldn’t approve of the way that the Golf Channel has been weaponised into a tool of delivering hate messages via golf, an INTERNATIONAL sport.
