    Koepka can of course take the $, but it's worth pointing out ... • he's said repeatedly over the years he doesn't play for money (lol). Cares about competition! • he conveniently waited for other big names to take the LIV heat first • he was comically full of shit last week

    This is Cassius Winston when asked if players are seeking out information or isolating themselves and focusing on basketball. If there's anything to be encouraged by in this whole mess, this might be it.
