he was up 4. If the lead was 2 or less, no driver. He wasn’t going to card an 8 on that hole.
The LIV tour is what finally make the PGA change their ways. Even if you are only a PGA fan, you can't ignore what LIV has done to better the game for players.
YES! I texted my friends yesterday that I couldn't believe Perrier LaPadite was going to win the masters!Anyone ever notice how much Rahm looks like Dennis Menochet, the French actor who played the French farmer in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds?
Not carrying onto fairway with 5 iron 3 wood or driving iron would have done it. Just needed to keep it straight and playable. He was staring a double in the face and if Brooks hit 2nd tight he may have puckered
Yes. He won 71 PGA events during his first 14 years ('96-09). Then the sex news came out, got divorced, etc. He's won only 10 PGA events in the 14 years since that ('10-'23, although this year doesn't really count).
His hit his driver on the provisional. It might be the right play for you but not for the Masters champ.
Money is by far the most important thing for players. PGA is now considering team events. Hmm.....
From a LIV player
Yet, in the post-round interview, Koepka is whining that if only a particular drive hadn't stayed in the trees, he might/could/should have been right there at the finish. Good grief! Brooks, you just got outplayed. Admit it.
Brooks Koepka sure like joining the LIV
If LIV is just an exhibition, the PGA Tour should allow them to enter X number of events. Let's face it, the PGA Tour needs most of those LIV players. It was great seeing all back this week.
To the extent his mental strength has eroded ya don't think it maybe has something to do with - I dunno - not being able to physically dominate his opponents anymore? Or - hell- walk without pain?
Was a 1 hit wonder he'll crash and burn again. Been a huge Phil fan for a long time....until last year. Hes on the bottom of list. For whatever reason Phil put it all together this weekend. That wont happen again this yr. I will admit his swing looked 10x better than it has...maybe he stopped worrying about hitting BOMBS and he worried about hitting quality golf shots
Ok it was the wrong play. Dont care what he hit on provisional. It was the wrong play plain & simple.
Are people dumb as rocks, golf isn’t a team sport JFC.
Have you seen some of the leaderboards at a good number of PGA events lately? I am in their core demographic and I could care less to watch most tournaments now. Like most sports, betting has propped them up.
He is going to kill it on the senior tour when he can take a cart. I dont know if anyones ever had plantar fasciitis but I did for about a 6-8 month stretch its excruciating. So much so when u get up in the morning u are only able to take baby steps sometimes for 15-20 minutes. You sit down you start from scratch again but the worst is the AM waking up. I imagine he got his due to leg injury maybe different gate or no support but I know I got mine from caddying 2 loops in worn out kicks. Stretched my arch bad.
The team aspect of it is HUGE when you do not have any missed cuts. You need to keep the guy that is +12 playing his *** off for his team. That aspect I like
I'll even take it a step further. I had to walk with 2 sets of sticks. He has to walk and hit the ball. I didnt have to do that and I struggled around the course.
Of course, but that actually makes sense since you have a natural affiliation with the school. I’m talking strictly the PGA tour. Creating arbitrary teams is ultra contrived and just plain stupid.
I actually disagree here. The difference is he is playing like he cares vs when he doesn’t. That’s why I think this wknd was bad for LIV.
Team tennis was an idea that sounded pretty good, but in reality didn't catch on to the point that it made people interested enough to become a TV must see for tennis fans.
Phil is and always has been the drive for show, chip for show etc type of guy. He is Tin Cup.
Theres really only 6 or 7 guys on LIV worthwhile for PGA. Once these Dudes get back at it for LIV tourney they will be deflated with the comp
This season has been great. Guess you are more into names than golf.
You are missing my point. Those guys haven’t performed like that in LIV events. They only play their A game at the Masters. Which means even LIV players know that LIV isn’t that important. Especially the guys who got big upfront checks. Philips the perfect example. Look at his rounds in LIV vs the Masters.
I’ve watched some LIV. Those events seem more like golf outings than golf tournaments. Live attendance is minimal and tv interest is a blip on the radar screen.
PGA requires (or at least required) guys to play events every so many years. With the LIV guys included you would at least get some names in most events.
