Phil Mickelson row blows up amid LIV Golf ace's mean dig at commentator's family
A certain LIV Golf contender has been embroiled in a war of words with one pundit for more than a year, and the pair have once again taken aim at each other online The feud between Anthony Kim and Brandel Chamblee shows no signs of cooling off. Especially after their latest exchange ahead of this weekend's US Open at Oakmont Country Club. The pair have been at loggerheads several times over the past 12 months and more. Golf Channel analyst Chamblee has been consistent in his criticism of the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League, which Kim joined in 2024 following a 12-year hiatus from the sport due to injuries. Former PGA Tour pro Chamblee has also openly criticised Phil Mickelson, the first high-profile player to defect to LIV. And Mickelson was once again the subject of Chamblee's scathing remarks when a fan questioned if he had watched the recent LIV Virginia event. "I watch, but generally it's like watching a race of boxcars and being told they are F1 race cars," Chamblee responded on X. "The only time anyone seems to pay any attention to LIV is when Mickelson or [former LIV Golf CEO Greg] Norman make insanely idiotic comments about the skill of LIV players. "Phil Mickelson has mastered the public art in which self-righteousness congratulates the celebrator. He and his LIV compatriots, all of them subject to the dramatic irony of having resigned themselves to play purely for money - not for history or for their respective countries - but purely for money, and now present to virtually no purpose, their presence in major championships is likely attended by a sense of urgency, the exact opposite no doubt, of the lack of urgency at LIV events." Kim, 39, couldn't resist a cutting counter and took a personal swipe at Chamblee's family life: "We all can like or dislike whoever we want, but at least Phil Mickelson's kids still talk to him. Have a great US Open, Brandy." That barb was delivered complete with a mocking heart emoji. And it isn't the first time sparks have flown between the pair. Chamblee's repeated takedowns of LIV Golf provoked Kim's ire last year, particularly when the former seemed supportive of a collaboration between the Saudi-backed circuit and the PGA Tour. In response, California-born Kim lashed out with a fiery tweet in May 2024. "Ramble Chamblee @chambleebrandel ur such a p***y 4 beating on ur chest and basically saying never retreat and hypocritically retreat," he wrote. "It is well known this talentless fool is disliked by most people in the golf world. U still gonna cover golf if @livgolf_league is involved?" Chamblee, a one-time PGA Tour victor and former world No. 58, delivered an extensive rebuttal. And he pinpointed a particular irony in Kim's barb. The analyst retorted that Kim's dig was "about as inaccurate as a lot of Mickelson's drives and sadly ironic coming two tweets after you asked for advice on raising your daughter that you would refer to someone as a female body part in a juvenile attempt to denigrate them." Kim, who was critical in the United States' 2008 Ryder Cup win alongside Mickelson, didn't hold back in a subsequent appearance on the Country Club Adjacent podcast. It was there he criticised Chamblee for "over-talking" golf legend David Duval during a Golf Channel discussion about what it's like playing in a Ryder Cup. "How the f*** would you know? Here's David Duval, who was No. 1 in the world and played on multiple Ryder Cup teams, has all these sorts of records, won a million times," said Kim. "You're over-talking him about what it's like and what they're feeling? "If we were talking about, like, what it's like to drive to a Korn Ferry event and miss the cut, we would call you, Brandel. But we don't do that, y'know? We don't do that."

Chamblee fundraiser highlights the emotional and financial struggles of pediatric cancer
The Brief "Hops for Hope" fundraiser celebrated Sebi Tran's two-year remission from CNS Neuroblastoma and raised funds for the SebiStrong Foundation. SebiStrong Foundation provides hospital care kits, "Warrior Wagons," and financial support to families affected by childhood cancer. Pediatric cancer imposes significant emotional and financial burdens on families, often requiring parents to stop working during treatment. CHAMBLEE, Ga. - Supporters gathered Sunday afternoon at Hopstix Brewery in Chamblee for "Hops for Hope," a community fundraiser honoring 6-year-old Sebastian "Sebi" Tran's two-year remission from CNS Neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive pediatric brain tumor. The event marked Brain Cancer Awareness Month and raised funds for the SebiStrong Foundation, which Sebi's family launched to assist others navigating the hardships of childhood cancer. What they're saying Diagnosed at age three, Sebi underwent brain surgery, chemotherapy, and months of therapy to relearn basic functions like walking and talking. His recovery story has become a symbol of resilience, and his family's foundation now provides services such as hospital care kits, "Warrior Wagons," and financial support for affected families. "Three years ago, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer," said Sarah Tran, Sebi's mother and founder of the SebiStrong Foundation. "You try to find meaning in it, and for us, that meant giving back. We've been providing care packages and meals to families staying in hospitals, and financial assistance too." Tran emphasized the toll pediatric cancer takes on families, both emotionally and financially. "It has a huge financial burden, too. Most parents have to stop working during treatment," she said. "So it's important to think about financial ways to support these families." Local perspective The fundraiser drew supporters from across Chamblee and Brookhaven, offering an afternoon of community connection while raising awareness about an illness that affects roughly one in 285 children before the age of 20. The Source The details in this article were provided by Sarah Tran, Sebi's mother and founder of the SebiStrong Foundation.

Is Scottie Scheffler developing an intimidation factor? We may find out at 107th PGA
Is Scottie Scheffler developing an intimidation factor? We may find out at 107th PGA CHARLOTTE, N.C. – After Scottie Scheffler rolled the field at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson two weeks ago, ESPN's Scott Van Pelt asked two-time U.S. Open champion Curtis Strange, winner of 17 PGA Tour titles, if he ever had shot 31 under. 'No. Thanks for asking, though,' Strange said. Scheffler's eye-popping total matched the low 72-hole score in a Tour event, matching a mark previously set by Justin Thomas and Ludvig Aberg before him. 'Thirty-one is pretty low,' Van Pelt said. 'Just trying to frame it appropriately.' 'Gosh. I don't think I ever shot 20-under. He's got me by 11,' Strange said. 'That's how good he is sometimes.' Scottie Scheffler's 2024 was like a Tiger Woods year Scheffler was an absolute beast in 2024, winning seven official events, including the Masters, the FedEx Cup and also an Olympic Gold medal. Not even two major championships for Xander Schauffele were enough to keep Scheffler from winning the PGA Tour Player of the Year title for a third consecutive year. It was Tigeresque. But until Scheffler laid down the hammer at the CJ Cup, he was winless this season after recovering from missing time due to hand surgery after an accident making ravioli on Christmas. Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee wondered if Scheffler is on the verge of becoming one of the rare players who can lap a field and his mere presence on a leaderboard can make golfers wilt under pressure. No one in the last 30 years could impose his will on the field the way Tiger Woods did. Chamblee wanted to figure out the cost of being paired with Tiger. In 2008 or 2009, he spent multiple days calculating the score of every player who had played with him on the weekend. 'It was something like 3 ½ shots,' Chamblee said on the podcast The Favorite Chamblee, a show he started recently with wife, Bailey. 'I remember one time, Billy Horschel said he couldn't wait to get paired with Tiger on the weekend in San Diego. I thought, OK, but it would be cheaper if you just bought a pro-am spot on Wednesday because that would cost you only $10,000-$15,000. But to get paired with Tiger Woods on Saturday or Sunday is going to cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. You may gain from the experience, but it literally is going to cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars … and it did in this particular experience.' Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros also intimidating Chamblee counted Nick Faldo and Seve Ballesteros on the short list of intimidating players. 'It's intriguing to see a player become intimidating,' Chamblee said. 'Scottie's getting to a point now where he's so relentless and hits so many great shots – again, he's so congenial and so nice, but he is very competitive and he does, you get the sense, want to step on your throat where you're competing.' 'He's more like Jack Nicklaus than any player I can think of,' Chamblee added. For further proof of the Nicklaus intimidation factor, he told the rollicking story of Victor Regalado, who was paired with Jack Nicklaus one time. Regelado, a Mexican native who won once on Tour, was so nervous to play with the Golden Bear that he didn't sleep the night before. He was just hoping not to embarrass himself. On the front, he went shot-for-shot with Nicklaus and tied him at 2-under. He was hanging in there with the Great Jack Nicklaus. Standing on the 10th tee, Nicklaus came over and patted him on the back and said, 'Come on, let's get it together on the back nine. We both played like crap.' 'Except he didn't use the word crap,' Chamblee said. 'That was Jack at once being congenial and intimidating. Very few players get to a spot where their mere presence (causes players to collapse.)' Is Scheffler ascending to a spot in the game that his presence makes other players fold? Quail Hollow and the 107th PGA Championship could be another test of Chamblee's hypothesis. Scheffler, for one, knows he's riding a wave of momentum from his romp in Dallas two weeks ago. 'It would be silly to say that I can't ride the positive momentum from a good week like that,' he said. 'To finish off that tournament the way I did and have it not really be too close on the back nine, I played some really nice golf.'
