Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and Tiger Woods at the Hero World Challenge
Hello friends, and welcome to this week’s edition of the Rogers Report! I am very excited for the next few weeks. We’ve got the Grant Thornton Invitational this week, where PGA and LPGA Tour pros are teaming up and competing for equal prize money. Next week, I’ll head to the PNC Championship in Orlando and watch Tiger and Charlie Woods (and many others) tee it up, and then a week later it’s Christmas. It may be a slower time of the golf season, but my excitement is through the roof.
But before any of that can happen, let’s take a look at what’s happening right now in the golf space. I’d be remiss not to start off with this quote from our favorite 15-time major champion.
TIGER WOODS: “Well, I think — that’s a great question, Dylan. What we have to do is we have to make sure that we have access to the game. I had access to the game. I had an ability to get on Tour. We ensure that, and have — ensure that we protect our schedule, like I talked about earlier, and our Tour and take care of the players. Without the players, there is no Tour. How do we take care of them in a better way, not just financially. Obviously everyone wants to get paid, but how do we have the best competitive atmosphere and competitive events from week to week to week and what does that look like, and what does it look like for the players to have to be involved in that and what do they have to give up to have that and what are — like Bob was mentioning earlier — what are investors looking for to invest in our Tour.”
I would also like to take a moment to thank Jeff Eisenband, who put out what might be The Perfect Tweet on Sunday evening. My two worlds have officially collided and I couldn’t be happier.
The most wholesome family in golf
On Sunday, Scottie and Meredith Scheffler proved once again that they are the most wholesome people on the planet.
“I’m so proud of you.” ❤️
