Wondering why you saw the Michael Scott Paper Company trending on Twitter Tuesday morning?
The short answer is: It’s thanks to the PGA Tour and LIV Golf merging, news that shocked the golf world and its pros.
The long answer? Back in the fifth season of The Office, Michael Scott leaves Dunder Mifflin and starts his own paper company with Pam and Ryan. Despite the fact that it doesn’t go so well, it’s enough of a problem that, eventually, Dunder Mifflin merges with the Michael Scott Paper Company.

This is like the Office story arc with the Michael Scott Paper Company getting acquired by Dunder Mifflin. Upstart with no real vision for the future that created a massive headache for the legacy brand once it started stealing big accounts (players) and had to be acquired.

Biggest thing I take away from this: Jay Monahan and the @PGATOUR are cowards. Feels like when Dunder Mifflin bought Michael Scott Paper Company a week before they would have went out of business. Monahan should be ashamed. #PGA #LIV https://t.co/EUdT5pr2XW
