Breaking News: Sadness in Golf community as formal talented Golfer Jack Nicklaus has been officially confirmed.……..😱see more👇

As he prepped for the 2023 US PGA, the ex-world No. 1 tackled queries about his less-than-stellar start on the renegade circuit. With only a pair of top-ten finishes in the first five LIV events, Johnson turned things around with a victory at LIV Golf Tulsa just before jetting to New York.

When pressed by a reporter on why it took him a while to hit his stride, Johnson disclosed: “I mean, I was ready at the start of the season. Going in, I was going out to play Saudi International, and I tweaked my back right before that.”

“So I didn’t hit balls for a few weeks until right before I went and played Mexico. It’s just taken me a while to get back, get the patterns right, and just get my body m justoving right. Developed some bad habits, and it’s just golf; things happen. Swinging it well, feeling good, got confidence. That’s always helpful coming into a major.”

“Nelly Korda has made a statement that supports Rory McIlroy’s allegation, suggesting that Tiger Woods may have improperly influenced the qualification process for Charlie Woods to participate in a USGA event.”

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are among the golfers expected to be given equity in PGA Tour Enterprises as a thank you for sticking with the Tour instead of jumping to rival LIV Golf, the Telegraph reported on Wednesday.

Woods will receive a $100 million and McIlroy a $50 million stake in the newly-formed enterprise for not taking lucrative offers from the Saudi-backed LIV as merger negotiations between the two circuits continue to drag on.

A substantial portion of current PGA Tour members will be rewarded with equity in the new for-profit entity, according to a memo sent out in February by commissioner Jay Monahan and seen by Reuters.

PGA Tour Enterprises is majority owned by the Tour and bolstered by a $1.5 billion investment by Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of sports team owners, the memo said.

The program will reward top performing members and legends who helped build the modern PGA Tour, the memo said.

The initial round of player equity grants will total $930 million and will be awarded to 193 PGA Tour members, with the majority of that going to the top 36 players as determined by a performance-based formula, the memo said.

All initial grants will require players to compete in 15 or more events on the PGA Tour and/or complete service requirements commensurate with the value of the grant.
