Here on Sky in the UK, Rich Beem and Andrew Coltart were going absolutely bonkers at Zalatoris for even considering to play that shot and not picking the ball up straightaway.
Yeah, although disappointing from a “I’ve never seen this before “ standpoint.Right call

Haven't they done this by starting the Charlie Woods hype train 8 years ahead of time? I kid... kinda.I think he wants the PGA Tour to mandate that the star players have to play well every week. I mean, what other sort of plan could the Tour possibly have that could make a difference? (Cloning Tiger?)
Tiger is the most patient player alive. He absolutely goes to the drop zone.Tiger wouldn’t have gone to the drop zone. Defensive play. No bueno.
Nobody is making you watch it dudeBogey wins!! Catch the excitement!
i agree I was just adding a little levity. I’ve been riding the big Z train for a while now. Happy to see him take it home.Nobody is making you watch it dude
It may not have been good golf but it was still exciting.
Actually, it was some bad golf followed by some incredibly good golf, which is precisely why it was so entertaining. Terrible tee shots by both players on the 2nd and 3rd playoff holes, and yet both guys found ways to make par on the former, and Zalatoris got up and down from the DZ for bogey on the latter. I don't give a damn whether pro golf has mass market appeal; I'd rather watch that sort of playoff golf than see Tiger - or anyone else - demolish a field by 7 shots for a drama-free win.It may not have been good golf but it was still exciting.
I think the other golfers were pretty frosty with him. And he's probably figuring it's not worth it because of the whole stack of cash thing.Hip discomfort from that wad of cash in his pocket courtesy of the Saudis.
Yeah, I think the Ryder Cup has all the history and emotion, and they play really hard against each other. But the PGA Tour guys are starting to actively dislike the LIV guys and have real animosity towards them. A PGA vs. LIV matchup would be absolutely intense. Would make for great theater.Presidents Cup has never seemed to have the juice of the Ryder Cup ... but a PGA vs LIV format would be cutthroat
This is what I'm thinking. Minor injury/discomfort he might have otherwise played through but why bother given how chippy the PGA Tour players will be all week. Screw it, just home and be rich.I think the other golfers were pretty frosty with him. And he's probably figuring it's not worth it because of the whole stack of cash thing.
It might be intense at the start, but it wouldn't last long because it would be a blowout if all the best PGA Tour players play. LIV has Cam Smith and Dustin Johnson. Whose their 3rd best player? Taylor Gooch? A bunch more top players would have to jump ship to make it competitive.Yeah, I think the Ryder Cup has all the history and emotion, and they play really hard against each other.

I'm not sure wafflehouse waitresses care about Tiger's hair.All that money and he can't save his hair?
Reed's attorney is Larry Klayman, who seems to be well known as a right wing harassment litigator. He files and loses lawsuits all the time. He's perfect for Reed.Reed sued Chamblee / GC today

Do you want to watch Cantlay's future birdie putt or the chiro?Yup. They hate showing golf shots sometimes.
Get ready for the interview with the chiropractor from the booth later while golf is probably happening on the course.
Bizarre take. They’ll pay taxes and I guess be able to monetize in some new ways or something. It’s not like they’re sending 90% of income into cancer research. It’s a business taking advantage of non-profit status at the moment. Meanwhile the LIV tour is still just a reputation laundering exercise.Wow. Giving up non-profit status could make them lose some of the “High road” that they have vs. the LIV
I don't care about non-profit vs. for profit, but 18 no-cut events with 60-player fields? That would SUCK.
Why? I really don't have a problem with no-cut tournaments as long as they're restricted to elite players.I don't care about non-profit vs. for profit, but 18 no-cut events with 60-player fields? That would SUCK.
No-cut tournaments remove any sense of jeopardy on Thursday and Friday. They say, "Here - we don't care how badly you play; take some money anyway." The very nature of individual sports like golf and tennis is that you have to perform to earn your living. I don't have a problem with the proposed idea of everyone on Tour getting $500,000 at the start of the season to cover professional and personal expenses and having earnings taken against that total until you cover it. But golf has never been a sport - unlike many others - where an elite player can coast after reaching a certain level of performance and signing a big contract. This is exactly the dynamic LIV has introduced, and even if it wasn't financed by horrible people (and hadn't signed so many horrible people to play in it), that dynamic would still suck.Why? I really don't have a problem with no-cut tournaments as long as they're restricted to elite players.
I just saw this. Weiskopf was a very good golfer who could and probably should have won more than the one major he won; a very competent golf course architect whose collaboration with Jay Morrish you could say was the prototype of what Coore and Crenshaw eventually became; and a pretty poor commentator who nevertheless had one of the best lines of golf commentary I've ever heard, when Jim Nantz asked him what was going through Jack Nicklaus' mind as he stood on the 16th tee at the final round of the 1986 Masters: "If I knew the way he thought, I would've won this tournament."Tom Weiskopf died on Saturday

I agree. I know some might not, but I'm with you here.Morikawa just followed up a double with a 10 on a par 5. Giving up 7 strokes in two holes isn't really good.
