Coppin State tees up a new golf era in Baltimore

Coppin State is making history by launching its first-ever men’s and women’s golf teams, right in the heart of West Baltimore. Coach Elam Ruff is building the program from scratch—recruiting local talent, forming partnerships with area courses, and planning community golf clinics. It’s not just about competition; it’s about creating opportunities for student-athletes and bringing more diversity to the sport. Imagine the impact: more scholarships, more local engagement, and a fresh chapter for HBCU golf. What do you think this means for Baltimore’s sports scene and the next generation of golfers? #Sports #Golf #CoppinState

Can LIV’s 72-Hole Shift Win Over OWGR?

Big shakeup in the golf world: LIV’s new boss Scott O’Neil is betting everything on getting Official World Golf Ranking points. After losing stars like Brooks Koepka and burning through $1B+, LIV is ditching its 54-hole format for a classic 72 to impress the OWGR board (which is packed with PGA and DP World Tour reps). Jon Rahm and Bryson are all-in, but will this move finally earn LIV the legitimacy (and sponsors) it craves? #Sports #Golf #LIVGolf

Bubba Watson Slams LIV’s 72-Hole Switch

LIV Golf’s move to 72-hole, four-day events in 2026 is already stirring the pot. Bubba Watson, the two-time Masters champ and team captain, isn’t holding back—he says the old 54-hole sprint kept the leaderboard tight and the drama high for fans. With Brooks Koepka gone, the pressure’s on for LIV’s big names to deliver. Is this change good for the league, or will it kill the chaos we love on Sundays? #Sports #Golf #LIVGolf

Fireballs GC Snubs Nacho Elvira After Dubai Win

Did anyone else catch Fireballs GC’s social post after the Dubai Invitational? They hyped up David Puig’s T3 finish (tied with King Rory and Shane Lowry), but totally left Nacho Elvira—the actual champ—off their leaderboard image. Fans are calling out the snub, especially since Elvira and Puig are both Spanish. Seems like a missed opportunity for team unity and respect. What’s the deal, Fireballs? #Sports #Golf #LIVGolf
