I just watched the Golf Channel opening on delay and man oh man that statement by his family brought me to tears. I will just say if you are having issues and need some one to talk to please seek

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

Tom seems like a good kid. Seems other players like him. 
 
Sad for him, but he did well against Scottie. He’s got a bright future. 
 
But hell yeah! #6

Read a story on TK in Golf Digest. I came away really liking the guy. Seems very genuine and easy going.

They gave him an exemption that allowed him to get his first win.

he also hasn't played there since 2015.  good for him for trying to play through the struggles, i guess.

Spieth is in the field this week for the John Deere. I don’t think much more needs to be said. 

The field dynamic for the field changed somewhat when it lost it's spot the week before the Open

And he’s probably going to miss the cut….

He finished at -6. The projected cut on this joke of a tournament course is -6. 

He over thought and power lipped out a four footer for birdie on 18 or he would have had a decent 5 under today. He just can’t get out of his own way.

Here's why Jordan Spieth isn't winning, according to Smylie Kaufman

Story by Jack Hirsh     • 2h ago •

Jordan Spieth is not having the 2024 season he would have liked, but one of his good friends thinks he knows why.

Before Spieth caught fire Saturday at TPC Deere Run, making eight birdies in his first 12 holes and finishing with a 63 to vault into contention at the John Deere Classic, he hadn’t shot that low on the PGA Tour in nearly a year.

After recording three top-10s earlier in the year, he hasn't finished better than T29 since he missed the cut at the Masters in April. He's fallen out of the top 30 in the Official World Golf Ranking and currently is outside the all-important top 50 of the FedEx Cup standings, which would make him exempt for all of next year's Signature Events.

It’s really the second-straight season of poor form from the three-time major champ after he’s failed to win since the 2022 RBC Heritage and vanished during the Ryder Cup. This is after two resurgent seasons in 2021 and 2022 after ending a four-year winless drought.

On this week’s episode of GOLF Subpar, Spieth’s good friend and NBC broadcaster Smylie Kaufman dished on Spieth’s run of poor form to hosts Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz.

“It’s funny, right? Because if you go and look at the stats, you get confused because if you would have supplanted his driving ability this year, in any other year, he’s winning,” Kaufman said.

He explained that Spieth is having somewhat of an opposite statistical year to what his career has been. He’s typically driven the ball all over the place while leaning on his creativity with his irons and wedges to score. This year, Spieth is 16th in strokes gained: off-the-tee, but 110th in SG: Approach and 80th in putting.

“He’s always been able to lean on his wedge game, his short game and his iron game,” Kaufman said. “His putting was good to start the year, but his putting lately has really tailed off and now he’s got an iron and wedge game that’s just mediocre from his standards.

“I keep wanting to believe that one week it’s all just going to come together. But when you have so many things that are just slightly off, it’s it seems like he pushes a little bit too much on some days to try to make something happen, instead of just letting the tournament come to him and letting his game come to him.”

Knost recalled when Spieth was winning majors he was more of an artist with his shotmaking and Kaufman agreed that Spieth needed to get back to more of that.

Then Kaufman explained the potential that Spieth’s focus on improving his driving has indirectly harmed his approach game.

“Maybe there’s a correlation too, when you make swing changes, you start hitting it further, sometimes there’s a driver swing the guys have and there’s sometimes there’s an iron swing the guys have,” he said. “And I think he’s kind of caught a little bit in between.”

Smylie must read Surly. 

Yeah his comments are almost verbatim of a few Surly posts.  Smylie just left out the part about Spiethcoaster being a "head case" and needing to try a new coach and/or sports psychologist.

For a PGA tour pro (elite?) going +1 on the par 5's for the day is indicative of a problem, with a total of 6 holes that have scores of 5 or worse is not gonna win any events

I kinda like it. Not a huge fan of Keegan the player, but he's an East Coaster with NY ties. The Bethpage fans were already gonna be crazy, but it gets turned up to 11 with Keegan at the helm. 

He's also already said he's got nothing against LIV, so Bryson and Koepka probably make the team. Meathead city, baby. 

It's gonna be a rock concert. We might see titties.
