Today, we’re covering the end of an era…maybe. LIV Golf has officially filed for bankruptcy, bringing the four-year battle between the Saudi-backed league and the PGA Tour to an end…kinda. In today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotzl dive into what LIV’s bankruptcy entails, how much is owed to its players (hint, it’s millions), and what the league’s CEO has in store for the next iteration of LIV Golf. Oh boy.

Today, The GIST of It is celebrating iconic women: Venus and Serena Williams are returning to doubles, playing together for the first time since 2022 at the iconic US Open. Plenty of folks know about the siblings’ tremendous singles success, but their doubles prowess is sometimes an afterthought. In honor of their return to the court, today’s One Big Story is a women’s sports history lesson on one of the greatest tennis teams to ever take the court.

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz turn the exposure all the way up, digging into not one, but two instances of men posing as NFL players online. It’s as ridiculous as it sounds — and one man scammed women out of $1.3M doing it. Plus, hear from Nebraska senior volleyball star Andi Jackson as the new season heats up.
