Progress bought Domo’s AI and data platform for $400 million. A 21-year-old rookie ignored “Scottie’s coming” and won in his third pro start.
Different scoreboards. Same Sunday pressure.
THE DRIVE: Your Dashboard Just Got Sold Mid-Round
Progress Software agreed to buy substantially all of Domo’s AI and data platform business for $400 million, adding more than 2,400 business customers. The pitch is not “more charts.” It is turning fragmented company data into governed, AI-ready intelligence.
This week’s Sandtrap Award goes to every RevOps team with six dashboards and seven versions of pipeline. Progress just paid nine figures for the data equivalent of finding your ball, checking the yardage, and admitting you grabbed the wrong club.
THE FAIRWAY: “Scottie’s Coming.” The Rookie Didn’t Care.
Jackson Koivun heard the gallery warning him that the world’s best player was chasing. Then he went bogey-free on Sunday, made every putt inside five feet all week, and won the 3M Open by three in only his third professional start.
“All throughout the crowd, I kept hearing, ‘Scottie’s comin’, Scottie’s comin’.’” — Jackson Koivun
Your competitor is coming. Procurement is coming. The quarter-end forecast call is definitely coming. Koivun’s playbook was simpler: keep the ball in front of you and stop letting somebody else’s leaderboard rewrite your swing.
THE GREEN: The Partnership Finally Has a Quota
ServiceNow and TeamViewer are integrating endpoint access with agentic IT workflows. More importantly, they are assigning joint sales and marketing resources, selling a packaged add-on, and bringing channel partners along.
That is the difference between a partnership and two logos sharing a cart. If the integration has no shared pipeline, enablement, or comp plan, it is not a GTM motion. It is a practice swing with a press release.
FROM THE CLUBHOUSE: AI Found the Boring Money
Feathery raised $30 million in total funding to automate onboarding, document processing, and operational workflows for more than 300 insurance and wealth-management firms. While everyone else demos a robot writing poetry, Feathery is attacking regulated forms.
The Hole-in-One Award goes to solving the work nobody posts about. The best enterprise wedges are not sexy. They are painful, repeatable, expensive, and already have budget.
THE CADDIE’S CORNER: Bryson Brought the Weed Whacker
After a controversial two-shot Open penalty for improving his lie, Bryson DeChambeau responded like any well-adjusted adult: he pretended to weed-whack the rough at Royal Birkdale. No statement. No apology tour. Just elite agronomy content.
19TH HOLE INSIGHT
The market does not pay for more dashboards. It pays for fewer places to hide.
One source of truth. One shot that counts. Everything else is a range session.
