·1 hr·2 clips

Tom Hobbs says Jon Rahm's roughly 2 million pound DP World Tour fines mean paying to play in a Spanish Open worth about 2 million dollars.

1. Preferred Lines previews the 2025 Bermuda Championship at Port Royal and pairs it with an interview with Tom Hobbs of Flushing It Golf about LIV Golf. 2. Joe Idoni hosts solo while co-host John is in London, and Hobbs is an interior-design professional who built a Twitter breaking-news account starting during COVID. 3. The episode combines a course and wind breakdown with Hobbs's reporting on LIV's shift to 72 holes, OWGR access, and DP World Tour sanctions. 4. Idoni calls Port Royal a "less than driver course" where the average winning score over five years is 18 under, and he notes Rafael Campos won last year at 19 under after missing 13 of 15 cuts. 5. He highlights the 16th-hole cliffside par three, listed at 227 yards on the Golf Guiders app and 235 on the scorecard, and says only Seamus Power has birdied it three times in one tournament. 6. Wind Finder data shows consistent west winds of about 21 mph sustained on Thursday and Friday, with Saturday gusts forecast at 36 mph from 11 AM to 2 PM. 7. Hobbs says he was surprised LIV's 72-hole shift came so quickly, though Rahm had hinted at it in a post around August 2024, and that Carlos Ortiz supports the change but doubts "the cream will rise." 8. Hobbs estimates Rahm's DP World Tour fines at 75,000 to 100,000 pounds per conflicting event, about 2 million pounds in total, and suggests this may be Rahm's last Ryder Cup if the arbitration ruling goes against the players. 9. Hobbs reports that Min Woo Lee's LIV deal collapsed over his personal brand partnerships, that Dustin Johnson has agreed new terms, and that Bryson DeChambeau is seeking a renewal by the first Saudi event in February. 10. Golf bettors and LIV followers will get the most from this episode.
