GOOCH BULLISH ON FUTURE

While all eyes were on the Masters last week, Talor Gooch was in Oklahoma attending an expansion draft for Professional Bull Riders (PBR) team Wildcatters.

The American golfer was there in his role as a majority stakeholder of the team, having invested a portion of his US$36 million (S$49 million) earnings from the 2023 LIV Golf season in them.

Last season, he claimed three wins from 14 events and bagged the individual championship.

As much as he is excited by his new venture into bull riding, Augusta National is still where his heart lies.

And he is hoping the split in the men's game can be healed quickly so that the best golfers are allowed to feature at the best events.

The 32-year-old said: "It was tough seeing guys go and play the magical place that it is, it was tough not to be there but hopefully things change.

"Hopefully in a year I'm back there. I really like the golf course, I think it fits my game too.
