‘MAJOR’ WEEK FOR IRON HEADS
Iron Heads GC Captain Kevin Na describes this week’s LIV Golf Korea presented by Coupang Play as his team’s “major” – and with good reason.
Three members of the Iron Heads were born in Korea – Na in Seoul; Yubin Jang in the suburb of Gyeonggi-do; and Danny Lee, born and raised in Incheon, the site of Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea where this week’s tournament will be held.
“Having LIV Golf held in my hometown Incheon, it doesn’t get more special than this,” said Lee. “I was born in Incheon and live there until I was in elementary school. That’s why LIV Golf being held in Incheon feels incredibly meaningful to me. The fact that I’ll be competing there alongside the world’s top players still feels surreal, and I can’t wait to play in front of the fans.”
Na, an original LIV Golf member, has encouraged the league to play in South Korea, especially with golf’s popularity booming in the country in recent years. Nearly 17% of adults (6.24 million people) participated in the sport at least once during the 2023 calendar year.
“I’m thrilled to finally be able to show Korean fans the unique culture and gameplay that LIV Golf offers,” Na said, adding that “it’s a completely different style from traditional golf, and it’s bound to be a refreshing change. Especially in Korea, where there’s a growing number of golf fans in their 20s and 30s, I think the response will be even stronger. LIV Golf is truly appealing to the younger generation.”
The Iron Heads hope that enthusiastic home support will lead to their first-ever team title. Lee is the only team member to celebrate a trophy, having won the individual title in Tucson in 2023.
“Having three players born in Korea on the same team and representing Asia makes this really meaningful,” Lee said. “Whether it’s in the team competition or the individual format, if we can deliver a strong performance, I’d love to share that joy with our fans.”

The statistic that confirms Dak Prescott’s great form with the Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is playing phenomenally in this NFL season and there is one statistic that supports this. Apart from the semi-poor performance of his team, the QB1 of the Dallas franchise has moved the chains like few others in the league and his work is to be recognized. This has also been largely due to the magnificent work of Brian Schottenheimer, who has figured out how to get the most out of his offense.Prescott threw two of his four touchdown passes to Jake Ferguson, Dallas scored on two 90-yard drives in the second quarter with a makeshift offensive line lacking four starters and the Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Jets37-22 last Sunday. The result gave Schottenheimer a victory over the team for which he was offensive coordinator from 2006 to 2011.Dak Prescott breaks a special gift […]

While it is unclear whether Jones could have reached Lawrence in time, his slow reaction became one of the defining visuals of the Chiefs' defeat.After the game, Jones didn't dodge the conversation.
