- Emphasis
- Ryder Cup eligibility, the 25 October deadline, Kinnings' quote, LIV's bankruptcy and its hopes of Trump support.
- Leaves out or plays down
- No LIV or player response beyond Rahm's lawyer; no detail on how the policy differs from earlier ones.
- Charged language
- “rebel golf league”“resurrected”
