Majors are Augusta, Valhalla, Troon, Pinehurst followed by a bunch of hyped limited field $20 million purse events, which includes a revamped Pebble event with only 2 courses being used.

A few things to look forward to for 2024, Tiger walked four rounds in the Hero and said he didn't feel pain. So I expect he will compete in all 4 majors, and 5-6 others . And of course the ongoing saga and drama that circles around the LIV circuit, and the proposed invesment/alliance with the Saudi PIF blood money.
On the Senior Circuit - Angel Cabrera returns after serving 2 years in an Argentine prison (let's see how he is received in Augusta)

Maybe no one gives a shit, but I wish someone would do some investigative reporting regarding LIV and Twitter golf accounts. I have no doubt in my mind that Flushing It is getting paid by someone to p

Golf is an extremely niche sport. The entire PGA tour thread for all of last year was 24 pages. It will be the same as it ever was.

This is very true, but there are also separate threads for each of the majors & the Ryder/Presidents cup. This is a niche board for orphan sports that don't have anywhere else to go (kinda like these guys)

My friends in the media business tell me that the PGA Tour is done.  They were horribly mismanaged.  I don’t really get the nuances but it does seem like they were asleep at the wheel. 

It appears absolutely done from my view. There are a few stars that want to be Tiger’s friend so they’ll stay as long as they can. Tiger will finish off his body trying to save the tour but I don’t think it’s enough.

PGA tour is done how? The LIV event in bedminster, the last event that I could find ratings for, averaged 187,000 viewers for the final round on the CW. 

A WNBA game on ION network that weekend averaged 271,000. 

The final round of the St Jude tour that weekend averaged 3.2 million. 

The product is shit, and almost no one watches. 

The PGA tour isn’t dead, at all. All that happened is the PIF created LIV as a tool to buy a share of the PGA tour. Its cost them roughly 1.2 billion in “signing bonuses” and 400 million/year in prize money. 

Buying Rahm seems like a move to put pressure on the merger.

That’s exactly what it was. The PGA was heavily considering scrapping the merger shit. So they found Rahm’s price, putting pressure on the PGA to stay on track. Rahm’s sees the writing on the wall, and decided there didn’t need to be two idiots in the transaction. He got the check and won’t really have to do jack shit for it, once the merger’s done. Win-win for him, really.

The 2024 Tour kicks off in a couple of hours:
First group on the tee - Morikawa, Xander & Tom Kim
Last group to tee off - Jordan, Scotty & Viktor 

If I had to pick 2 tee times to bet on to find the winner, those would be the 2

I think he played great. He got extremely unlucky landing in a huge divot and his slight mishit off the tee box resulted in an extremely unlucky bunker lie. 
 

-27 and in 3rd… while making some solid putts and being in contention through 18 seems like a pretty good start of the season.

Yeah, even on a scoring course, that’s a good weekend for Jordan. Some weekends last year he would have been -7 or -8, and a few maybe even +1 or +2. (After making the cut.)

Top-10 ‘em to death and see what happens.

Tour average make under 10ft is like 20%. And Scottie is amazing on approach so he's going to have a lot of those putts. Him missing 15 isn't shocking - he probably had 40 attempts. 

Scottie under 10ft isn't really the issue anyways. It's Scottie under 5 ft that is the real head scratcher. And Kirk was just unconscious with the flat stick this week on top of it all.

Odd that the Texas events aren't all back to back to back, or at least Nelson and Hogan aren't back to back.  When did this change?

Seems like the Colonial got jobbed with a bad date - playing after the top players are in the Wells Fargo ($20M purse) and the PGA Championship back to back weeks may lead to many skipping Ft Worth

Damn he finished 3 clear. He's got a couple dogs behind him, though, and Schauffele is lurking. 

If an am was going to win this is a good opportunity for it. Extremely easy course and not a particularly jumbled leaderboard. He probably just needs to shoot 2 under or so today.

 

In other news, Rory wins his 2nd straight Dubai classic and 4th ever. He moves up to sole 14th on the Euro wins list with 17. It looks like Tiger is the only player with 20 wins on both tours (some of them count double, obviously), Rory will almost assuredly get there.

I don't think 2 gets it done for the kid today. Not at stadium. Hope he pulls it off, though,  cool story. 

Just depends on what Burns and JT do. I think there's a good chance -30 gets it done.

As impressive as it would be if he wins as an Am he’s still older than Jordan was when he got his first win.

I mean - I'm not sure how "impressive" it is - it's just a historical rarity. Is it that "impressive" when a rookie throws a no-hitter against a 38-90 team that's brought up a bunch of minor leaguers in late August?

I feel like it's a very cool accomplishment but at the end of the day - like you said - he's a very good 20 year old playing a crappy PGA tournament. There's more "impressive" golf feats that happen every season.

Unfortunately he wouldn’t get the 1st place purse for the Amex. 

Right but he isn't getting it either way.

Kid just doubled 7 to fall back to -26 and a tie for the lead. I'd expect someone else to win at this point. Those knees are starting to shake.
