Looking at that fucked up leg makes me appreciate how much it must have sucked slogging around the Masters and PGA.

I wonder if he could be competitive with a golf cart?  I wonder if he would deign to use one if offered?  I sort of feel like he wouldn’t want any part of that.  Especially after he came out so strongly against in the Casey Martin suit with Casey being a former college teammate of his. John Daly obviously played with one at the PGA and the tour could allow one if they felt like it, but something tells me neither party would be super interested in that.

I like Faldo. I know some don’t, but thought he had good insight and a wry sense of humor.  I suspect Immelmann will do a great job.

Brooks Koepka is the latest big name quitting the PGA Tour to play on the LIV Golf Tour.

The former world number-1 will make his Saudi-funded debut at next week’s event in Portland.

[bigup2dahorns 3343]

Koepka still listed as playing this week on the PGA tour even though he’s slated to play next week in Portland area on the LIV tour. And he’s grouped with Snedeker on Thursday/Friday who just trashed LIV and the players who bolted for it. Maybe we get a Bob Barker Happy Gilmore video highlight . . .

Obviously not for Koepka.

And Koepka withdrew last night from pga tour event this week.

CBS wouldn't allow Faldo to only do a half season.  Moving to Montana and Sept & Oct are best fishing months.  Fishes with Huey Lewis and his friends.

I won't be surprised to see Faldo guest hosting on Golf Channel and NBC during some of the majors at some point.

Faldo is pretty damn good IMO.  and in comparison to Azinger, he's Ken Venturi.

And Phil and the rest can thank Tiger since that's the reason golf is so popular and why sponsors invest and why TV contracts get more lucrative every year.

Not really. Tiger won $297,000 for his first win. He is directly responsible for the influx of money in golf over the last 25 years. 

[ztejas 43532]

Rory's on a bit of a heater. One more crack at it this year. 

And drains a 47 footer after I comment that...

yes really, Arnie won 2400 for his first win in 55 and Jack won 15000 for his first win in 63. 

TPC tournament purse in 1975 was 250,000, 1995 was 3M and 2015 was 10M.

Tiger certainly had a huge influence in the massive increase in golf sales for companies.

I don’t think DJ has a problem with it, unless he isn’t getting quality. 🤣

Spieth is really duffing it around. About to be a few over. 

Scottie is playing meh. Could maybe get something going on the back here.

A lot of guys went low this morning.

Spieth +5 already thru 12 holes.  Not gonna be his week.

Scottie   -1       Zach    Even

 

[ztejas 43532]

Is this the shortest course on tour at under 6,900? Some of these holes are muni length. 

I mean even pebble is over 7,000.

Speith is such a head case.  +5 on this track is totally embarrassing.

Just pointing out that a Longhorn making his pro debut played ok.

[ztejas 43532]

Spieth got a couple back then hits one in the water. Could probably use a weekend off.

This is a nice course to make your debut at. Nothing wrong with 1 under.

Rory driver 323 carry - 262 to the hole - hits an iron to 20 feet.

Good luck, field.
