We dive into Justin Rose&#8217;s record-shattering performance at Torrey Pines, where he set a new tournament record at 23-under par and climbed to the number three spot in the world rankings. We also discuss Scottie Scheffler&#8217;s dominant win at the American Express and what&#8217;s next as LIV Golf kicks off its season in Riyadh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, we explore the biggest storylines of the off-season, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The return of Brooks Koepka to the PGA Tour after a high-stakes deal involving a $5 million charitable fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The polarizing return of Patrick Reed and his path back to the Tour through the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major updates to the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) system, which will now award points to the top 10 finishers in LIV events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bryson DeChambeau&#8217;s future and why his success on YouTube might keep him from returning to the PGA Tour&#8217;s strict content regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we look ahead to this weekend\u2019s Waste Management Open in Phoenix.
