Is Graeme McDowell ready for a TV career? First, he's working some magic at LIV Golf UK
Graeme McDowell has just a single top-10 finish on the LIV Golf circuit this year, and he admitted to the British golf site Bunkered that he's seriously considering a dive into the media world if his playing days on the fledgling league are coming to a close. In fact, after a week on the microphone for Sky Sports and the R&A's 'World Feed' coverage during the 2025 Open Championship at Portrush, McDowell said his appetite has officially been whetted. "Is there any TV in my future? Potentially, when I'm done playing golf, it was always something that I wanted to dip my toe into to see if I liked it. And last week was a way to have a little chip at it and see if there's anything there," he told Bunkered. 'First and foremost. I mean, I gained a definite appreciation for the skill level involved in being very, very good at it, you know, surrounded by guys like, you know, Ewan Murray and Nick Dougherty and Andrew Cotter and Ken Brown." McDowell is back on the other side of the mic this week at LIV Golf UK, where he pulled off a masterful shot during Friday's opening round. After finding some thick stuff on the par-4 11th hole at JCB Golf & Country Club, the 2010 U.S. Open winner showed his creativity around the greens as he pitched a ball up on a slope and brought it back down inches from the cup. Now 45, McDowell signed a one-year deal with Smash GC, Brooks Koepka's squad, but he's on the outside looking in for next year, in terms of relegation. The Northern Irishman is 32nd in the LIV standings and he needs to get into the top 24 in the next three events to secure a spot for 2026. Understandably, he's keeping his future options open. 'Say I was done with LIV at the end of this year and I got unceremoniously dumped out, what would I do? Would I go back to the European Tour for a year, take up a year's membership and one of my exemptions there? Or would I make the jump into the media world?' McDowell told Bunkered. 'It would really just depend on how I feel, how I feel my game is, how my health is, what the world would look like from a media point of view." "I'll continue to talk to some of these media outlets and maybe do a little training on the side, you know, just to get myself ready. I feel like I know a lot of these guys very well and I understand the sport. I'd give it a go for a year or two just to see if I like it. 'I've never had a real job before, so I'm not sure how I'd handle it.'

Erie Seawolves debut as rebranded Moon Mammoths after winning contest on HBO's "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver"
On Saturday night, excitement was in the air in Erie, Pennsylvania, as the MiLB's Erie Seawolves started playing under a new name: the Erie Moon Mammoths. The Seawolves are the Double-A affiliate for the Detroit Tigers, and they got their new alter ego after winning a rebranding contest put on by none other than HBO's "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver and his team. The Seawolves beat out 47 other minor league teams to win this rebrand, and the only stipulation the Seawolves had to agree to for all this was that they would have no say in the new name, logo and mascot. Oliver and his comedy writers went to work, dug deep and found the story of George Moon, who discovered a 12,000-year-old Mammoth fossil in Erie County in the summer of 1991. From there, it wasn't a stretch for them to come up with the new team name. Oliver unveiled the Moon Mammoths on his show a few weeks ago, and on Saturday night at UPMC Park in Erie, Oliver headlined a sold-out game with over 6,000 fans to welcome the Moon Mammoths to town. "I think this is less about me," Oliver told KDKA-TV. "I am excited to see what Erie does with this in the future because now we are done. So, I am excited to see what you'll do with this group of ingredients. It is like a very odd episode of "Chopped." We have given you some odd ingredients here. I cannot wait to go and see the cake-adjacent thing that you are about to bake." When asked how he felt about all the hype around this new mascot, George Moon, the mammoth fossil finder said, "If you had bet me 34 years ago on something like this, I would have not taken the money, I would have lost. This is great. I love it for Erie. It is great for the community, for the ballpark, for everybody around." Fans were over the moon for this rebrand, too. "I thought it was awesome. As soon as I saw the logo and the mascot, I was excited and I was flipping out," said Kim Conti from Erie. And Moon Mammoth merch was flying off the shelves both at the park and online. "My husband was right on it," said Sharon Correll of Erie. "He is a Seawolves fan. He heard about this on the John Oliver show, and he was right there getting everything ordered." The Moon Mammoths will be the SeaWolves' alter-egos. The team will appear as the Mammoths for several games this season and could potentially play as them for a few games next year as well.
