Lynch: The PGA Tour’s new boss started work today. So what headache does he tackle first? Other than booking a lesson package at the TPC Sawgrass Performance Center, what does Rolapp’s priority list look like?

Lynch: Like in once-embattled Northern Ireland, acceptance will be pivotal at 2025 Open When the Open returned to Royal Portrush in 2019, a great deal of ink was spent explaining why it hadn’t visited Northern Ireland in 68 years.

Lynch: New LIV boss Scott O’Neil sounds a lot like Greg Norman. That's not a compliment Like his predecessor, O’Neil is energetically trying to manufacture a reality that doesn’t exist and suggest a momentum that isn't there.

PGA Tour can dictate what reunification looks like and it doesn’t have to include everyone The most unshakable assumption about the division in men’s pro golf is that responsibility for resolving it falls to those who didn’t create it.
