As the final paragraphs were being typed on this week’s column, the shocking news that the PGA Tour and European Tour have merged with LIV golf popped up on the Golf Channel. It’s hard to believe anybody saw this coming.

Alongside when the LIV golf tour was created, and lured some huge names away from the PGA Tour, this will be the biggest story in the history of professional golf. Aftershocks are going to be heard for days, probably weeks.
