'He was the kindest gentleman I've ever known.'

A beautiful tribute to Peter Oosterhuis from Ian Baker-Finch and @GolfOnCBS ❤️

If you’re asking me, it’s the only way to do smoked chicken

Wealth management firm UBS with signage on the first tee at LIV Golf's Singapore event this week.

Am told at this point it's just a sponsorship for this event.

Man, this is terrible. Oosty was so good back in the day on CBS. Obviously an accomplished player too.

Sunday's final round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, won by Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry, drew 1.852M viewers on CBS, up 26% from last year (1.470M).

It's the most-watched final round for the event since '21 and second-best since 2015. Coverage peaked near 2.8M.

The PGA Tour is moving the Korn Ferry Tour's Simmons Bank Open to the Vanderbilt Legends Club in Nashville.

The event had been scheduled at The Grove in Nashville, but LIV Golf is now hosting an event there this June: tinyurl.com/2225brxk

A lot in here from Dave Shedloski.

He says NBC is not closer to finding a lead announcer, though the USGA says coverage plans will be announced at US Open media day (May 6).

Also: Koch and Maltbie back for Pinehurst.

Data from Zoomph shows the strong start the LPGA has had on social this year

. James Corrigan (never had a blue tick) says both Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton have a pathway to next year's Ryder Cup, despite playing on LIV Golf.

Both also would be able to compete on the DP World Tour later this year:

Pretty cool to see this video and how much it meant to the Canadians to have one of their own win this event

Nikon signed a multiyear deal that makes it the official rangefinder of the LPGA and Ladies European Tour.

LPGA and LET players will receive Nikon rangefinders for use in competition. The rangefinders include a 'competition mode' to help comply with the Rules of Golf

Only team scoring will be available on PGA Tour digital channels for the Zurich Classic this week.

This is the tour's first opportunity to test its new ShotLink system on a team event: tinyurl.com/4jeevntv

. James Corrigan (never had a blue tick) says Tiger Woods will be notified today he will receive up to $100M in equity from the PGA Tour, with Rory McIlroy 'benefitting possibly to the tune of $50M' telegraph.co.uk/golf/2024/04/2…

308k last year, 207k this year, albeit a later date on the calendar.

Overall tournament numbers good for NBC though.

Pretty surprising to see the numbers for the final round of the Chevron Championship, as NBC drew 900,000 viewers for Nelly Korda's second major and fifth straight win.

That's actually down just a hair from 929,000 last year for Lilia Vu.

CBS drew 2.151M viewers for the final round of the RBC Heritage on Sunday, even with the weather delay from 4:30-7:00pm.

That's obviously down big from last year (4.152M) but still is the fifth-highest non-major, non-Players tournament of 2024.
