Talor Gooch gave us maybe the quote of the year this week, and I couldn't let that go without a song. Here's "Asterisk".

"Carter Norris" oversleeping, not waking up in time to grab breakfast burritos and caddy for his buddy Jake Knapp is the most SoCal thing I've heard in awhile.
Absolutely love it. Rooting for Knapp today!

A leaked memo this week from @acaseofthegolf1 showed how the PGA Tour's new player equity program will divvy up nearly $1 billion.
Essentially, there will be four groups:
Group 1: Includes 36 players, who will split $750 million ($20.8 million on average).
Group 2: Includes 64 players, who will split $75 million ($1.2 million on average)
Group 3: Includes 57 players, who will split $30 million ($526,000 on average)
*The Tour will divide current players into these groups based on several criteria, including career achievements, recent achievements (past 3-5 years), and Player Impact Program results.
Group 4: Includes 36 players “who were instrumental to building the modern PGA Tour.” This group will split $75 million (around $2 million on average).

A tale of two rookie starts…
19-year-old Caleb Surratt made $1,070,000 this week in his LIV debut after winning the team competition and finishing T13 individually.
20-year-old Nick Dunlap, meanwhile, finished dead last at Pebble Beach and took home just $32,000.
Dunlap won on the PGA Tour two weeks ago — a paycheck worth $1,500,000. But, he was still an amateur at the time, so he walked away with $0.

Something to watch: How the PGA Tour divvies up equity among players could become a total sh*tshow. Lots of money at stake and there's no way it's going to be totally clear how the Tour decides who gets what.
Still thinking about Sam Burns losing a bet, shaving RTR (Roll Tide Roll) into the side of his head, and getting beat by a current Alabama student. Just too good.
Relatable.
Deandre Ayton is out tonight due to being stuck at home because of the sheets of ice in his neighborhood, per @CHold
After 6+ months of living in the Midwest, I can confidently say the thing I miss most about California is In-N-Out. I think about it daily 🍔
Isn’t this… an interview?
NEW: Jon Rahm tells reporters he is “not allowed” to give interviews or make public appearances.
Full quote: "I am under very strict instructions not to do public events, which I have imposed on myself a little bit for myself, and for the change I have given to the world of golf in the last week. There will be nothing until February, I'm not allowed to."
Some thoughts on what Rahm to LIV could mean for the future of golf and us, the fans: quickninegolfnews.com/p/rahm…
.@tylerjohnson_59 couldn't find a golf bag that he liked for his 3.5 year old son Charlie, so he designed one himself.
Here's the story behind the classic-looking toddler bag that's taken the internet by storm 🔥

Big day for cold plunges!
The @PGATOUR is requiring tournaments to make a number of enhancements in 2024, with many focused on player families, caddies and teams.
Among the notable items: Courtesy car programs at all events, more player restrooms on the course: tinyurl.com/4pe9wtdt

@TheShotgunStart hello Sharks, here’s my prototype for the push cart stroller. Other golfers may not be able to fight off the urge to hit stingers at you, but at least it will keep the baby safe. @AndyTFE 30% equity stake available. 33/0 Kids/0 interest in fighting.
