TIGER'S COLD SHOULDER - November 1st, 2025

On November 1st, 2025, we break down the personal fallout from Jon Rahm's LIV move, including Tiger Woods's silent treatment, and celebrate Gary Player's 90th birthday with his controversial takes.THE LIV DIVIDEWe reveal the inside story of Jon Rahm's text to Tiger Woods about his LIV move, which was met with complete silence, creating a "massive professional chasm" between the two major champions.In stark contrast, Rory McIlroy was supportive both "publicly... and he was privately as well."Rahm has now earned more from LIV (£39.5M) than his entire 153-event PGA Tour career (£38.7M), a sharp turn from his past comments about playing for "history and legacy."RORY'S REJECTED ADVICEWe cover the story of Tom McKibbin, who directly ignored his mentor Rory McIlroy's warning not to join LIV, sacrificing potential major access and a Ryder Cup spot for the immediate opportunity.McKibbin's blunt rationale: "I'm not in those majors anyway at the minute, so it really didn't bother me too much."Ironically, McKibbin is now leading the Hong Kong Open, a LIV feeder event that could grant him the very major invitations he was told he'd be giving up.GARY PLAYER AT 90We celebrate the 90th birthday of the legendary Gary Player, diving into his unique health philosophy built on undereating, exercise, laughter, and being a "champion sleeper."His simple advice for Americans? "Stop eating so much."Never one to hold back, Player also shared his "fiery" take that he wants to "abolish" the Ryder Cup.Quick HitsA positive update on Anthony Kim, who made the cut in Hong Kong and says, "It's the best I've hit the ball since coming back."
