So does the Tour follow through on its "play with them and you're finished here" threat?They're playing a Trump course. And The International, lol.
July 1 is just the John Deer Classic so maybe some names show up? The bulk of the schedule is after the Tour Championship and might draw some names? Do I care about team golf or seeing tour pros loop The International so it can brag about it and drum up membership interest for its reopening? No.
Yes. Jay Monahan has been very clear about it to the players and the media.So does the Tour follow through on its "play with them and you're finished here" threat?
Yeah, they will be banned.So does the Tour follow through on its "play with them and you're finished here" threat?
The PGA Championship is not held by the PGA Tour. It is held by PGA of America. The tour split from the PGA of America back around 1970.I am sure Phil can still play the majors. Maybe they can ban him from the PGA championship.
Yes Escalante is pushing hard for Pro tourneys at their courses. Wonder if this will get them shut out from PGA/LPGA down the roadBoth The International and Pumpkin Ridge are Escalante Golf courses.
I haven't kept up with the drama at International, but isn't the Oaks the only one in play this year anyway? I thought the Pines was going bye bye...THey will be only playing the Oaks at International
No. It’s closing next year for the Coore and Crenshaw redesign. Both are open. This year.I haven't kept up with the drama at International, but isn't the Oaks the only one in play this year anyway? I thought the Pines was going bye bye...
Not so fast.Well, it only took Riley until the 5th hole to implode. I figured it would be sooner. JT should win this thing going away.
I'm guessing the marshals weren't in position - would they have been waiting at the 16th hole after the final group moved through, just in case a playoff were to happen and make it past the first sudden death hole?How in the world do the marshals let spectators run across the fairway in the middle of a playoff?
They are volunteers and not always the most astute and attentive people in the world. There are things that don't seem hard to the population of SoSH that seem very hard to the population in general.I'm guessing the marshals weren't in position - would they have been waiting at the 16th hole after the final group moved through, just in case a playoff were to happen and make it past the first sudden death hole?

Given how tightly the Club runs things, that's a good guess. Originally, I thought that that very same control would make the Masters a perfect place for Mickelson to have a press conference, apologize publicly and privately for being a tone deaf, dumbass moron who said some incredibly stupid stuff, and then have the Club back him up when he said, "I'll answer questions about this today, but no more," knowing the press would comply because the Club has no problem kicking out non-compliant media.Strange. I wonder how much this was Mickelson's call? I guess I wouldn't be surprised if ANGC quietly told him they weren't interested in him being the media story of their week but were looking forward to seeing him in the field in 2023.
Law of unintended consequences, if there's even such a thing. I mean, he had NO idea this would blow up on him like it has. Here he was, thinking that who he was (the great Phil Mickelson - and I don't mean that in a snotty way) gave him great leverage in his attempt to either extract more money somehow from golf or to reform the PGA somehow, but instead it all imploded on him.Strange.

It's crazy how fast he blew up his career and reputation. A year ago he could have chosen a path where he would be the dominant Senior Tour player, pick and choose regular Tour events to show up at, was the PGA Championship winner at age 51, was on the short list for those silly one-day cash grab matches, and had Callaway custom engineering whatever the heck he wanted. Now? Dead to golf.
Not "sneakily" - it is, full stop. This tournament rocks, at least until Sunday and they run out of matches to cover. And Austin Country Club is a great venue for it.Wednesday at the Match Play is sneakily one of the best golf days of the year.
Yeah, his match against Richard Bland could get gloriously messy.Bryson is must watch. He's all over the place and it's only been 2 holes.
