Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
How much must this suck for Rory. He just put up a 65. In his pairing, he beat Spieth by 7 and Tiger by 9. Yet all I could hear as they walked off the last green was everybody yelling for Tiger.
Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
he probably likes it.. go out there, play golf, and no one really cares about him.. oddly might be easier to move/just be when paired with Tiger

Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
Well . this will be fun (I think) .. the LIV tour starts today
Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Louis Oosthuizen, Kevin Na and others have left the PGA to play this to see how it gets off the ground.
and the PGA ain't playing

Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Louis Oosthuizen, Kevin Na and others have left the PGA to play this to see how it gets off the ground.
{Sporting News}The LIV Golf Tour is the name of the start-up tour that is attempting to compete with the PGA Tour. It was commonly referred to as the "Saudi Golf League" during its early days given that it is financially backed by Saudi Arabia.
It will host eight events during its inaugural season. Pros won't have to commit to playing a full schedule and will instead be paid to play on a per-event basis. The purses for the eight total events will total $225 million — $20 million will be awarded at the first event in London — while the most notable golfers that are competing in the tour have gotten nine-figure paychecks to defect from the PGA Tour.

Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
Oh the irony of this coming from the PGA tour commissioner
I hope this bring anti-trust lawsuits with it."I am certain our fans and partners -- who are surely tired of all this talk of money, money and more money -- will continue to be entertained and compelled by the world-class competition you display each and every week, where there are true consequences for every shot you take and your rightful place in history whenever you reach that elusive winner's circle," Monahan wrote.

Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
More, including Cameron Smith, are jumping ship from the PGA to LIV. I hope it completely breaks the PGA. They have had their monopoly long enough.
it's hysterical that all of a sudden it was able to find lots more money for purses while at the same time saying it was always looking out for the players
sure PGA, sure.

Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
Yes, I’m happy to see this as well. PGA is pulling out all the stops. They should embrace the competition instead of trying to shame it out of existence.

Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
Seeing Tiger play well this week makes me think he has something left in the tank. It’s unreal he is in the top-20 right now given his leg. And yes, I think he can contend at Augusta. It’s the one course I think he can still win at because it’s a lot about knowledge. Imagine the story if he is in the hunt on Sunday. Just wow…the whole country would be tuned in.
Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
Not to be a dick, but, "playing well?" Ehhh....he barely made the cut and finished 16 shots off the winner's pace. Could he have an amazing round or two? Sure. Can he put it together for 4 straight days....I'd think it's more likely not to happen.Navybuc wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 12:14 pm Seeing Tiger play well this week makes me think he has something left in the tank.

Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
whatever the case may be, it's nice having him in the mix.
side note.. anyone catching Full Swing on Netflix? I'm knocking out a show per night to make it last longer (that's what she said can be applied somehow). It's really good. Dives into the whole LIV Tour topic too. good stuff.

Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
Well, at the time posted he was in top-20. Had a rough finish yesterday. And if you watched him play, he could have easily shot double-digits under par if he could make some 5-foot putts. The rust in his putter was evident. But I thought for the first 58 holes or so, yeah, he played well. Especially given his condition and rust.acmillis wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 8:52 amNot to be a dick, but, "playing well?" Ehhh....he barely made the cut and finished 16 shots off the winner's pace.

I think The Masters is probably the only tournament he can seriously contend in, so I don’t think it’s a wild thought to think he can possibly be there late Sunday. That course is a lot about experience…that’s how he won in 2019. It’s how Tom Watson was a shot away from winning at Turnberry at 59 years old. But it’s all about whether his body can hold up, though.

Don't tread on me
Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
Trying to watch this LIV golf event…it’s weird. Guys wearing shorts, music playing, phones going off in the background, half-filled crowds. Doesn’t feel like competition, more like just watching guys hit the ball around in an exhibition. It sucks because so many good players over there, but it’s painful to watch.
Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
Masters underway. Got $100 bet on Scheffler at 8-1 and a couple smaller ones on Young (25-1) and Reed (80-1).
Tiger a trainwreck so far.

Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
I can go months without getting a golf notification on my phone. I got 3 this morning about this. Didn't realize the PGA had a secession from the union and some former members created a rival. I wish the NFL would do the same.

Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
LIV is a Saudi-backed owner driven league. PGA was known as a player driven league. This rivalry, as short-lived as it was, was extremely bitter and pitted tradition against novelty. As much as it was about money.
Seems like PGA fans aren’t too happy about pro golf being owned by oil saudis now. Though many of them seem to acknowledge that something had to change with professional golf, given the age demographic issues that are around the corner.
Saudis are buying a pro sports left and right. F1, golf, wrestling, all the huge soccer teams in Europe…

The last LIV major tournament (not to be confused with a Major) went to a playoff...and multiple stations switched to a re-run of some old Sitcom. I don't really understand why the PGA did this.
Re: 2022 PGA (Golf)
Yes, this seems to be the question. Just how much money were the Saudis willing to hemorrhage in this battle? When nobody was even watching. A lot of people think the PGA sold their souls.uscbucsfan1 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 5:13 pmLIV was doing terrible in ratings and their sponsorships were drying up.
