Pablo Torre Finds Out · It's the End of LIV Golf as We Knew It (and Trump Feels Fine) · 12 May 2026 podcast

The golf course was boring.

There was no buzz at all to that tournament.

You know, Rory McIlroy, the Masters champ, skipped it.

The tournament was a complete dud in every way, but it still made sense.

donald trump whole he got a tournament back from the pga tour and so yeah you're right he's he's always going to find a way to maneuver into any situation and he's done that quite effectively with a golf however that the the royal and ancient still refuses to to give him an open like

and i've talked to some of those old boys over there these tweety gents who run that thing and they're basically their stance is over our dead body and even though the scottish government has put a lot of pressure on them they refuse to do it like they just gave the open in 2028 to royal lithman st anne's which is of course that nobody likes totally artless and turnberry is beautiful and wonderful and has all this great history they won't do it like they're the last line of defense and it's kind of delicious in its own way but

Everyone else in golf has come back to Trump.

He's the sitting president and he knows where the pressure points are.

And so he's getting his way.

Well, I mean, all Rumayan openly coveted a green jacket to become a member of Augusta National.

That would have been the ultimate acceptance of the Western world.

That would have given them access to the halls of power in a way that almost nothing else could.

And when there was this short-lived sort of truce between the tour and Liv,

And these consultants put together this prospectus of what the deal would entail.

Tucked into the small print was that Yassir wanted to become a member of Augusta National.

And, of course, the best way to not become a member of Augusta National is to ask to become a member of Augusta National.

Like, that's just not how it's done.

And so there's always been this thinking, like, he was willing to light $5 billion on fire if he could have gotten a green jacket.

When it became clear that wasn't going to happen, he's like, I'm out.

F**k it.
