On September 17th, we break down the stunning news of The Sentry leaving Kapalua due to a water crisis and lawsuit, analyze how a Ryder Cup loss fueled Scottie Scheffler's dominance, and mark LIV Golf's complete exit from the OWGR Top 20.
KAPALUA'S PERFECT STORM
- The Sentry is leaving Kapalua's Plantation Course in 2026, ending a 25-year tradition. While the PGA Tour cites a "perfect storm" of issues, a lawsuit reveals the real story might be a water dispute, not an act of God.
- The lawsuit claims the water issue is due to "disrepair, not any act of God."
- The course is now reportedly "baked and brown," with a potential $50 million loss in local economic impact hanging in the balance.
THE RIVALRY THAT MADE A LEGEND
- We frame the Scottie Scheffler vs. Jon Rahm Ryder Cup singles rivalry as a two-act play: Scheffler's 2021 demolition followed by Rahm's gut-punch halve in 2023 that directly fueled Scottie's historic run of dominance.
- Scheffler on the loss: "I was fired up and excited to get home and practice."
- The rivalry's turning point wasn't a win, but a stinging loss that motivated one of the greatest stretches of golf we've ever seen.
