Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSurface of the sun?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorVera, a team that can't get into the other tour's schedule is a franchise losing its roster spots.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI spent four seasons on a bench, and at least mine had a cooler.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFan question: do the golfers at least get to keep the matching outfits? Because I love a team color.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTo cool the seat, LIV needs a path back into those events, and nothing in this story says one exists yet.
