Augusta National To Be Announced As Masters "Anchor Site" Until 2086

Mounds were often introduced instead of bunkers as they are more pleasing in appearance, less costly to maintain and often serve well to emphasize strategic conceptions. The course is not intended so much to punish severely the wayward shot as to reward adequately the stroke played with skill—and judgement. During the Masters tournament, with the cooperation of the weatherman, we try to keep our greens surfaces firm and the putting speed quite fast. We conceive that the ideal here is that our greens should hold a shot well-struck with backspin but should not hold an improperly played ball. BOBBY JONES

LIV Golf and PGA Announce New Inter-league Match Play Event

LIV Golf and the PGA of America have announced their first inter-league matchplay event.Twelve players from each organization will compete at a newly developed coastal golf course.A different format will be used each day of the event, finishing in head-to-head stroke play on Sunday.

(Frisco, TX) Today in a joint press release, the PGA of America and the LIV Golf tour have announced a new inter-league matchplay competition. Following the international success of the Ryder Cup and the President’s Cup, both leagues hope that the new Odium Cup competition will garner a similar level of popularity. The underlying hope is that this new tournament will also be the first step toward improving relations between the two leagues.

The Odium Cup is named after professional golfer Connor Odium.

Odium was a prolific golfer from the early 20th century who became famous for playing on all existing golf tours at the time. While originally from Wyoming, Odium often described himself as a “citizen of the golf course.”

“We felt that Odium exemplified everything that is happening in professional golf today. We wanted to show golf fans that the LIV and PGA tours are not fractured, but whole. Ultimately, this event will allow the tours to stop the arguing, and make a statement by playing with their balls instead.”

-Morgan B. Guile, Odium Cup Tournament Chair
