To be fair if I was making a billion dollars a day flogging stuff that comes out of the ground I'd probably throw a few hundred million at The Majesticks, see if we could get Poulter near that podium...

I mean Shiels sponsoring a junior open in Huddersfield is a bit of leap to state that’s growing the gameTorque sponsoring a junior event in America.

As for Torque that’s more like it as it’s a long term commitment. I am a big fan of the Majestiks little sticks initiative they put on fo kids at events as well.

Surely anything positive to junior golf is growing the game?

It’s absolutely positive and it’s great exposure for the kids that’s already play in that event and may attract a few that already play to turn up. But I wouldn’t call that growing the game it’s a little loose in its context.
If he’s then going to invite the wider community and put in clinics for non golfers to attend and learn then absolutely that is growing the game.

Yeah I was being a but sarcastic. That said, this will be the third year - the first year it was just the local juniors playing, but last year quite a few came from outside of the area - so his involvement definitely grew the event - and growth is growth.

It that case then I’ll concede that as growth, if his influence is bringing from outside the local area then it’s a good start towards growth.

Anthony Kim has signed a deal with Malbon to wear their kit when he's not wearing the 4 Aces gear. Malbon have produced some bespoke AK merch to go along with the signing.
Looks like it has sold out already...

I mean fair play to AK he deserves everything as he’s worked hard to earn it. But Malbon has to be one of the most overpriced and trashy brands on the market.
Nothing they sell looks remotely decent imo, but more power to him cashing in and earning sponsorships.

How does that work? Won't he always be wearing the 4 Aces stuff while he's playing??

Well he can play other tours, and if he has a few more solid finishes I suspect there will be major appearances in the offing as well.
He's put money into Malbon, so I'd imagine he'll be wearing the brand as much as possible.

It’s more lifestyle type of clothing, hoodies, t-shirts etc. without seeing the deal I’d assume he’ll be wearing it on his instagram posts, reels, YouTube videos etc and if he gets into major they’ll provide actual golfing attire with his signature AK logo and the word Malbon is 3 foot high lettering across the front.

So he has put money in Malbon ? Or being sponsered by them ?
Don’t they have to wear LIV clothing anytime they play ?
Looking at the items - can’t see them being on a golf course
