Partnership Talks With The Caddy Report Described as "Extremely Serious"; Both Parties Confirm Nothing

PINEHURST, N.C. — Sources close to both organizations confirmed this week that discussions between The Random Cup and The Caddy Report have entered what one party called "an extremely serious phase," while declining to specify what, if anything, is being discussed. Neither side would confirm the existence of a deal, the terms of a deal, or that the word "deal" had ever been used. "Talks are ongoing," a spokesperson said, "and that is the most we are prepared to neither confirm nor deny." A formal announcement is expected the moment either party agrees to write one.
