The 2025 Masters highlighted the excitement and increased viewership when top golfers from both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf compete together. The ongoing divide between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, backed by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, limits the opportunities for these golfers to compete together. Negotiations between the two tours are stalled, with the PGA Tour favoring a single-tour solution and LIV Golf struggling to gain viewership.

News that the desert’s PGA Tour Champions event, known for three years as the Galleri Classic, is looking for a new sponsor certainly had to bring old memories back for long-time desert golf fans.

There are plenty of lessons to be learned from the 2025 Masters, probably more than anyone thought would come out of the week. For instance, we know how tough it is for a top golfer, even an all-time great like Rory McIlroy, to put away a tournament. It seemed like McIlroy had the won three or four times before he finally won it.

In their drive for home ice in the first round of the American Hockey League playoffs, the Coachella Valley Firebirds found plenty of help Saturday evening. On the ice at Acrisure Arena, the Firebirds saw familiar faces return and score in Jani Nyman and Cale Fleury, both after recent stints with the Seattle Kraken of the NHL. That sparked a big first period on the way to a 4-2 victory over the Bakersfield Condors.
