Young Harold may be taking the hit here- but this is all on Gooch. He is a selfish wank stain and has lead smash GC into the ground.
This is what happens when you re-mould a professional sports team to make it all about you. The team has gone into disarray.
#NoToOKGC
🚨🥾⛳️ #BOOTED — Earlier this week, LIV golfer Harold Varner III & other members of his OKGC team were told that they were no longer welcome at Bear Slide Golf Club in Indiana & issued refunds after they attempted to play as a 6-some instead of in two seperate groups. After being told by the starter & pro shop that they could not play in a 6-some the group waited until they were away from the clubhouse before joining together on the 4th hole.
Thoughts on this?
- March 2022, LIV begins and Smash are a core team in the ecosystem
- 21st April 2026, Gooch shits all over Smash (a team he had pledged his allegiance to) & selfishly created his own team in his image
- 30th April 2026, PIF pulls all LIV funding
Coincidence? Don’t think so.
Replying to @officialokgc
Have some class. No one other than Gooch and his goons think this rebrand has been a good idea. Means nothing to any of us.
Days after OKGC was announced, the PIF ended their funding. Coincidence? I don’t believe in coincidences. #NoToOKGC
That’s a low blow, Jim. Thankfully it looks like the move to OKGC has had a catastrophic impact on the league. Just days after Gooch’s takeover was announced, the PIF pulled out. Coincidence? I think not. #NoToOKGC
Makes me very happy that OKGC will never be represented at any level. Serves Gooch and his team of goons right for what they did to smash. Many people with egg on their faces today- especially @lahey_jim69950
Expect an apology soon, Jim.
This is it 👇🏻 A global brand people could connect with all over the world was destroyed overnight by the asterisk man, leaving many fans- myself included- feeling lost, hurt, and confused. #NoToOKGC
The Smash GC rebrand made me laugh this week. Pro golf is ridiculous part 942.
This week's podcast presented by @seedgolfco.
Smash was called Smash before Koepka. Brooks respected the culture of the org & didn’t try any self-centred rebrand. A proper leader. As soon as Gooch gets the reigns it all goes tits up.
Equivalent of Mahomes renaming the chiefs to the Texas Wranglers when he became a captain.
Massive respect to clubs like the Cleeks, Majesticks, etc who have trusted the process for so many years and stuck with the brand.
That’s what happens when you have humble captains with backbones. Gutted with today’s news.
O’Neil coming out this week and confidently stating LIV is a global golf league, then allows SmashGC- a team that had a massive global following- and reduced it to the size of tiny little Oklahoma. No thanks. So unserious. #NoToOKGC #RIPSmashGC 🕊️
