"Gilmore Girls" felt fun and fresh. When "Gilmore Girls" initially ran, I knew nothing about relationships, especially healthy ones. My daughters and I won't be cozying up on the couch to rewatch "Gilmore Girls" every fall, and that's OK. Maybe we'll find a new comfort show to enjoy together.

No player has been more outspoken than McIlroy about the PIF's financial backing of rival league LIV Golf, which attracted a number of major champions with enormous signing fees. LIV Golf recently completed its second year, and it remains unclear how the PIF's deal with the tour affects it. The remaining five player-directors on the 12-member board will elect a successor to serve McIlroy's term, which ends after next year.
