Hello. Welcome to this week’s edition of The Slam, and it’s been another adrenaline-fuelled ride aboard the good ship LIV Golf. (By the way, are we pronouncing it L.I.V. or Liv?)

At long last, in one way or another, players are feeling brave enough to admit they have requested permission from the PGA and DP World Tours to coin in on the Saudi millions.
They have been doing it rather different ways, though.
At one end of the scale, Sergio Garcia decided to announce it with a hissy fit during the first round of the Wells Fargo Championship.
Then we move up to Richard Bland, who said he has put his name forward but didn’t want to get into specifics – “if it’s OK that’s where I want to leave it” – and at the top we get to Lee Westwood, who, in the firing line of some excellent questioning from Sky Sports’ Jamie Weir, was far more open about it all.
