NHL
Here are the rosters for each of the 4 All Star Teams playing this weekend. Teams were drafted fantasy-style by Michael Buble, Justin Bieber, Tate McRae, and Will Arnett. Teams will square off 3-on-3 and play tournament-style.
GOLF
Tyrrell Hatton is the latest player to sign with LIV for the tune of $60 million, in what is turning out to be a stacked group of players to watch.
The biggest news from the week was the creation of PGA Tour Enterprises. The partnership between the PGA Tour, Strategic Sports Group, and soon the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund is said to be worth $3 Billion and will grant equity ownership of the Tour to its players. The PGA is finally battling to keep its greatest asset, the players.
LIV clapped back though and has upgraded its viewing options through a partnership with Google. Allowing viewers to see any player on any hole throughout the tournaments. This is getting interesting….!
PGA Tour scrambled to keep up with LIV money. Now let’s pray they scramble to keep up with LIV’s commitment to showing golf shots.
