On October 30th, we break down the exclusive details of Tiger Woods' latest major back surgery, the controversy surrounding Kai Trump's LPGA sponsor's exemption, and Jason Day's unique equipment setup.
TIGER'S CAREER ON THE LINE
- We have exclusive details on Tiger Woods' lumbar disc replacement surgery on October 11th to fix a "collapsed disc" and "compromised spinal canal." We discuss the procedure, his withdrawal from the Hero, and what this means for his future.
- A source close to Tiger's camp tells us: "He wants to end the career with a bang, not a whimper."
- While Tiger recovers, the PGA Tour Champions is already "white boarding" plans for his 50th birthday, with President Miller Brady confirming they are actively preparing for his potential arrival.
MERIT VS. MARKETABILITY
- The debate over merit versus marketability explodes as 18-year-old Kai Trump receives a sponsor's exemption into an LPGA event. We break down the official justification, the sharp criticism, and the player's perspective on the controversial decision.
- Critic Alison Root called the decision a "slap in the face" to deserving pros, while the LPGA cited Kai's ability to use her "broad following" to reach "new audiences."
- Kai, 18, addressed the opportunity herself, stating it's a dream for her to compete at this level.
JASON DAY'S "ONE SWING" PHILOSOPHY
- Now an equipment free agent, Jason Day is building a unique bag with one goal: creating a single, repeatable swing. We dive into his philosophy of using the same profile shaft from his 60-degree wedge to his driver.
- Day's goal is to create "one swing" for every club in the bag, simplifying his approach on the course.
- His highly custom setup features unique Avoda 3D printed irons and oversized JumboMax grips to promote consistency.
