Golf World Golf thread - Foreign and Domestic

[Jatz]

it is interesting that some are linking this incident to LIV golf. but JK went to find the ball, went through the processes and then realised the group behind were waiting, and in the goodness of his own heart decided to pick up and DQ himself rather than holding up the field longer.

Is that really what happened? A professional shooting 44 yards over his target? I don't even do that and I'm shite haha.

Pat Perez and Patrick Reed the next 2 name to line up for Studio 54

Rickie next.

To be fair it's hardly like they are landing anyone in their prime.

They’re past their best.

They’re in the has been category.

So you would call Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth Rory Mcilroy all Hasbeens? They are the same age bracket as DJ, Brookes, Reed, Dechambeau.

None of the four that have left will win another major.

That’s how I rate them.

So in an attempt to move away from the personal aspect,

In your opinion, which of the can win a major going forward?
And which one?

All 4 of them could win any of the majors for the next 5-10 years. That between them they have won 8 already and they are all in their prime golf years I am not sure how anyone could think they can't win anymore.
Now of course if they are banned from playing in them then that will be the only reason.

Why does it mean so much to the PGA tour players for the players at LIV to say we went for the money?

John Rham is playing on the PGA tour because it has far greater prize money than the European tour, as are all players not from the USA.
Players from America simply don’t leave the USA other than one or two events. Hardly global players.
Golfers and all sportsman play sport fir money, they follow the money. Nothing new here.

I actually think they'd be respected a smidgen more if they here honest and admitted they are morally decrepit and would take a big payout even if a South East Asian people smuggling ring were bankrolling a tour.

What gets people's nose out is when very unintelligent players (eg G McDowell) weirdly try to justify that they are doing this to somehow be a force for good in the world.

 

[Pklz]

Should be a couple of good weeks coming up with a strong field in the Scottish Open followed by The Open at the old course.

If they said theyre doing it for $$$ from a regime that does XYZ, trust me, they'd be lambasted all the same. IMO, the honesty line doesn't hold much weight, again IMO. I have friends who espouse the same reasoning for hating LIV ("they're lying to us fans, they're doing it for money!"). Really?

if the world and people are fair dinkum about morals, the tours should stop having events in china, middle east and probably the USA.

Cameron Tringale needs to birdie the last two holes to shoot a 59 in the Scottish Open

Well the USA and the Saudi have a huge business relationship, not sure how any individual can ge criticised when their own government live off a relationship with the Saudi government.

taking the game world wide would be good for golf yes? The PGA tour wont do that.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Watching Fitzpatrick hit driver, followed by 7 iron into 600 yd par 5 last night made me happy and sad at same time.
I mean forget the 360 yd drive, who hits a 7 iron 200++?

If only the Aus tour was like this.
Imagine having a lead up event with similar calibre players, heading into the Aus Open.
I'd be putting in a call to Greg....c'mon lets resurrect Aus golf.
