Golf Talk Today: A look at the best PGA Tour, LIV Golf social media content from the week
This week marks the last PGA Tour Signature event and LIV Golf Nashville—let’s look at the best content.
Welcome to Playing Through’s new morning ritual: Golf Talk Today.
Each morning will feature a Golf Talk Today, in which the crew will discuss various elements of the PGA Tour and professional golf.
It is Friday at the Travelers Championship, the final PGA Tour Signature Event, and LIV Golf is in Music City, better known as Nashville.
There is so much going on in the world of professional golf. Why not showcase some of the best golf content we’ve seen this week?
The best PGA Tour moments so far at the Travelers Championship
Tom Kim turns 22 on Friday, June 21, and went low Thursday at the Travelers Championship. He fired off an 8-under 62 to take the solo lead. However, how he celebrated his birthday is far more interesting.
Tom Kim shot a 62 today, one day before his 22nd birthday.

Not to mention, the golf fashion police got onto Akshay Bhatia for finding the tiniest shorts ever.

It’s such a unique shot that I’m not quite used to seeing. Most seem to come out like a low-ish, flat cut. Apex somewhere around 70 ft I think. pic.twitter.com/ctE5FijMsb
Wellesley, Massachusetts native Michael Thorbjorsen made his PGA Tour debut at his hometown tournament, doing so alongside Ludvig Åberg. People soon realized how good the former Stanford golfer is.
Could he be another young phenom about to take over the PGA Tour?

The best LIV Golf social media content so far from Nashville
Check out these videos from LIV Golf, which show just how much fun Phil Mickelson and the rest of the crew are having in Nashville. It seems LIV Golf has brought the party to the Music City.
When in Nashville, one has to line dance? Is that the new saying?
