Why would one of the best golfer's in the world choose to make YouTube videos instead of playing on the PGA Tour?
I wrote about it for TPM's mini-magazine, The Weekender, which also has great stuff from @allegrak.bsky.social and @emineirmakyucel.bsky.social.

In The Weekender:
@allegrak.bsky.social on “the Inexplicable Republican Best Friend” and the bad advice Dems get for winning elections.
Me on what AI detection software Pangram is really selling us.
Also, a great Hunter Biden tweet and more!
