Hello friends and welcome to this week’s edition of the Rogers Report! I’m pumped about the fact that we’re just one week out from the PGA Championship and the Mizuho Americas Open, which I will be attending at Liberty National.
Remember four weeks ago, when the golf world was buzzing over the fact that Scottie Scheffler might withdraw from the Masters if his wife Meredith went into labor? Well, we’re a few days away from continuing that storyline into the second men’s major of the year. Scheffler isn’t teeing it up at the Wells Fargo this week as they await the birth of their firstborn, but wow, this is a highly anticipated birth in the golf world. I’m looking forward to all the tweets about Scottie’s new perspective as a father in the coming weeks.
Okay, enough about that. Let’s get to the BIG news of the day.
Nelly Korda at the Met Gala
Without Blake Lively and Taylor Swift at the Met Gala last night, the event needed a new hero. And you know who perfectly fit the bill? World No. 1 Nelly Korda. I had no idea that Korda was attending, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw one of my favorite golfers pop up on Getty Images as I scrolled through photos from the night. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. One of the biggest perks of working in golf is the access to Getty
Images, and not just during tournaments! I scroll through Getty during the Super Bowl, after concerts and of course throughout the Met Gala.
Okay, back to Korda. She was there as a guest of Casey Wasserman and wore Oscar de la Renta’s red poppy appliqué dress.
