Major(s) News & Notes, December 22, 2022

We finish off 2022 with more on the Masters field announcement and wondering how the PGA Tour can sleep at night exploiting Charlie Woods for the tenth day straight or if the LIV defectors will get Champions dinner invites.

Then, a look at NBC’s salute to Gary Koch and Roger Maltbie and what a sad thing it is. In Walker Cup news, GB&I wants Old Course specialists. Sahalee gets a Women's PGA. And of coures This, That, Tweets and Reads.

I hope you’ll join us for 2023 with epic venues and storylines and no some fun paid subscriber only stuff. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
