Hello golf fans and welcome to the Memorial Day edition of Hittin’ the Links. Playoffs were the name of the game this weekend with the PGA Tour, the Champions Tour, and the European Tour events all going into extra innings. Nothing wrong with that, though – I always like a good sudden-death playoff.
In this edition of HtL we begin with a look into Tiger’s uncertain future, then investigate Rory Sabbatini’s possible suspension, and see whats going on at IMG. Also on tap, we check out some girl power, take a peek at the upcoming NCAA Golf Championships, and do a wrap-up of the week’s events. Read on!

That was some terrible golf at the Byron Nelson. The European Tour may or may not be deeper, but the Senior PGA Championship was better TV than either one on this weekend (imvho).
I agree.
I recorded both. I watched the Senior PGA, then deleted the Byron Nelson. What little I saw in the pro shop at my home course told me I didn’t need to watch it. The only reason I was tempted to watch was to see how long they showed Sergio until he fell well out of it.
