Not a JT fan?Unfortunately, my original prediction now happening. JT pulling away.
It was a lot of fun for a while

I love JT. I was just hoping for a 3 way dramatic match coming down to the wire.Not a JT fan?
Exactly, which is why I figured he was the only one who could potentially pull away. The future is incredibly bright on the Tour.Ah got it. JT’s just got another gear these kids don’t have yet.
Only available on CBS app or online. Yes, it's very weird.Glad CBS has their bull riding on
But with 5 people in a playoff, not 2.Tremendous golf tournament. Let’s do it again next week.
This. I had literally just finished serving dinner to my family and was getting ready to sit down at the table when JT made his putt, and I ushered everyone back into the living room to show it to them. Then I hung around until Morikawa made *his* putt, and I just about did it again. Bonkers...the post-pandemic PGA Tour has been a massive hit here in CP Manor, that's for sure.I still can’t believe the first playoff hole
SSS and all, but it feels to me that the lack of a gallery has had more of a positive impact on these guys than I would have guessed at first. Everyone claims to be able to block it out, but to do so completely seems to be near impossible.I still can’t believe the first playoff hole
I completely agree, although I am starting to wonder what a fan-free major is going to feel like and how it will compare with these normal events. At least the PGA Championship (least important of the four majors) gets to be the guinea pig for the US Open, which in turn will help Augusta National decide whether to move forward with a fan-free Masters...I think the latter would be amazing, but I'm not convinced ANGC really wants to go down that road.I LOVE the tournaments without the fans.
Fans at Augusts are packed like sardines. And Georgia is (currently) a hot spot.Well, tour announced there will be no fans for the rest of the season. So next up is the US Open on 9/20 and then the Masters in November. The US Open feels like a long shot to have fans and they probably have to make a decision relatively soon. Who knows what ANGC will do. They pride themselves on being the ultimate golf fan experience. They have the resources and assholeishness to gobble up as many tests as they want. Or maybe they develop a vaccine on their own just for their membership and tournament. If they do decide to go fanless, I wonder if they would open up the TV viewing window?
I'm also loving he no-fan tournament viewing experience. I do wonder if the majors will be able to drum up enough energy and excitement to differentiate them from the week to week Tour stops.
Tiger playing in a no-fan tournament this week will also be an interesting test. A big part of the Tiger experience is his gallery.
Nothing to add but I did want to say this is very funny.Or maybe they develop a vaccine on their own just for their membership and tournament.
FWIW, my understanding was that by "the season" the PGA Tour means through to the end of the FedEx Cup playoffs, and not through to the end of the year given that the new wraparound season starts shortly thereafter. So it's still possible they might have fans at The Masters (and the US Open, for that matter), although I agree with @Average Reds that I can't see it happening at the moment.Well, tour announced there will be no fans for the rest of the season.
An important thing to note is that the PGA Tour does not run the PGA Championship, The US Open or The Masters, so when they announce that there will be no fans at PGA Tour events, they mean events run by the PGA Tour. They don't make those decisions for the USGA, PGA of America or ANGC outside of the fact that the players are the Tour and could decide not to play any of the events if they so choose.FWIW, my understanding was that by "the season" the PGA Tour means through to the end of the FedEx Cup playoffs, and not through to the end of the year given that the new wraparound season starts shortly thereafter.

I know, but my assumption has been that because the PGA of America has fallen in line with the PGA Tour and won't have any fans at Harding Park next month, the USGA will likely fall in line with what's happening on the PGA Tour as well. And although Augusta National seemed pretty insistent in the spring that they didn't want to hold The Masters without fans, I suspect that decision will be largely out of their hands by November. (I had previously thought it more likely that they'd just cancel The Masters again if they couldn't have any fans, but I now think that the PGA Championship and then US Open going first without fans will have set a precedent the ANGC will reluctantly follow if they have to.)An important thing to note is that the PGA Tour does not run the PGA Championship, The US Open or The Masters, so when they announce that there will be no fans at PGA Tour events, they mean events run by the PGA Tour.

It's like a major and yet the groups still lack Spieth, Hovland, Fowler, and so on.Umm have you seen the featured groups for this week....wow
To this point - anyone think that Bryson is already looking a little slimmer? I'm watching him this morning on PGA Tour Live and he's not as bulky as he was a few weeks ago. It could also just be me and the fit of this particular shirt, so who knows.He's a one-off and it's not sustainable. He won't continue to work out this hard while grinding on tour, it's way too hard on your body. It'll be impossible for him to keep the weight on without getting absolutely burnt out.
Xander is +7 now. That's about as bad as he can play.DJ +3
JT +3
Matsuyama +4
Morikawa +4
Schauffle +6
Some very good golfers chopping some serious wood.
Spieth: -2DJ +3
JT +3
Matsuyama +4
Morikawa +4

I think +3 is extremely likely to make the cut.Tiger ended up at +3 after birdies at 7 and 8, which is T72. Uncomfortable swing off the tee at 9 let to a scramble for par. The announcers are making it seem like +3 has no chance, but I think it might have a chance with afternoon wave getting ready to go and pthe course playing difficult.
Already down to T67. Sure seems like it’ll be good. Maybe they were just trying to build drama on the last hole, but I was surprised how adamant they were that +3 would be no good.I think +3 is extremely likely to make the cut.
It was simply very bad commentary, that's what it was. I was watching it at the time as well, and not to even mention that +3 might have a chance is just not good enough.Already down to T67.
