'Make no mistake about it: Whether the green jackets like it or not, this Masters was a referendum on good and ... other. Also, make no mistake about this: the green jackets are delighted with the outcome,' write inkstainedretch on this year's Masters.
LIV Golf’s best players played great, but in the end, they lost. So, LIV lost. So, who won? The PGA Tour?

Also, make no mistake about this: the green jackets are delighted with the outcome. When they announced that LIV players could play this year, they scolded those players for deciding to abandon their home.
“I think it’s the best tournament in the world, and I think everybody put on a pretty good display,” Koepka said, clearly referencing his first three days’ work. “I’ve always been a proponent that you shouldn’t keep somebody out if they qualified,” Spieth said. “As long as people keep qualifying ... that criteria makes you have to play really, really good golf.”
When Mickelson sank his birdie on No. 18 to post at 8-under, 40 yards away, at No. 9, Rahm logged his only bogey of the round. Things looked good for the Dark Side, until they didn’t. Rahm birdied the par-5 13th, then, after pushing his tee shot right off the 14th tee, he pulled off a clever approach shot to the 14th for another bird. That put him four ahead of Mickelson and five ahead of Koepka.
