Some of the more notable LIV golfers exempt into the July 20-23 tournament include past Open champions Phil Mickelson, Henrik Stenson, Louis Oosthuizen and reigning winner Cameron Smith.

Reigning LIV Golf champion Dustin Johnson's 15-year sponsorship deal with Adidas has come to an end, with a source telling ESPN's Mark Schlabach the split is an "amicable separation."

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy break ground on the site that will house the duo's new high-tech golf league.

Golf ball fitting is complex.

Kinda.

A bit ago, I posted a thread on Twitter addressing the topic. The text of this post comes mostly from that. I made a few changes here or there to try and add a bit of clarity but, frankly, instead of continuing to dumb down ball fitting, I thought it was time we collectively acknowledged the complexity.

That means I can’t provide easy answers. I can’t tell you what ball to play (unless you’re Scott Beckwith, who should definitely play a first-generation OnCore ELIXR) but I’m hoping I can at least get you thinking about golf ball fitting in a more complete way.

And so here we go.

Phil Mickelson's HyFlyers GC will welcome Brendan Steele and James Piot to go with holdover Cameron Tringale as the second season of LIV Golf tees off Friday in Mexico.

Interesting news out of Chicago this morning: Tim Clarke is out as president of Wilson Golf.

Clarke had been with Wilson for more than 25 years and president since 2007, making him one of, if not the longest-tenured, leaders in the golf equipment industry.

Neither side is providing details on the decision. Global R&D Director Bob Thurman is taking over as interim golf GM.

Seventeen Years at the Helm

Clarke started with Wilson in the 1990s in sales and was elevated to president in 2007. At that time, Wilson was at its nadir. Bad decisions, a revolving leadership door and a quickly evolving golf market had made Wilson an also-ran. When Clarke took over in 2007, Wilson’s market share in irons was roughly one-half of one percent and annual losses ran into the $15-million range.

Wilson was in grave danger of going the way of other ill-fated legacy OEMs such as MacGregor, Spalding, Hogan and others. In fact, Wilson’s parent company—Amer Sports of Finland—was seriously considering shutting down the golf division. This was the situation Clarke inherited.
