Letter from Augusta: This was the Masters, not LIV vs the establishment

And that is really all it should ever be.

The big awkward LIV Golf vs. the establishment showdown everyone waited to see all seemed very … normal.

The only man carrying the LIV banner wire to wire sported no logos to give away his allegiances. Brooks Koepka wore the same Nike Swoosh he’s always worn when he’s played all of the other majors he’s contended in and won. No LIV on his collar. No Team Smash on his chest. No Golf Saudi on his bag.
