Pants as a requirement on the PGA Tour is lame to me anwlyways. I thought that way before LIV too as someone who got into the sport in his late twenties.

But it is a slippery slope. Maybe shorts are ok, but how long will it be until Patrick Reed is swinging his seven iron in a banana hammock?

Pants look better, and the sponsors prefer them. They are the true customers, so, they get what they want. You're the product.

I am all for shorts when playing golf, however I would say pants look more professional!

As iacas stated, what is a sponsor going to do with a pic of Lefty on the golf course in shorts. That imagine does not instill the idea of professionalism, especially when trying to tie it to investment services!

Nah.  He needs long pants so he can have a hole in his pocket to cheat and drop a ball.

For some rare balance on this topic, here a great interview with Rahm :

 

If somebody like this was representing the players instead of Tiger/Rory , we'd have a chance of actually solving this thing in a way that sees the world's best golfers playing together.

I don’t think you listened to the whole interview @Moxley. Plus Rahm has been very critical of LIV players trying to play the PGA Tour.

Except it’s 54 holes.

And he took a spot from Rahm’s friend only to WD.

Failed joke. But Sergio still a douche.

Jimmy Walker quietly stepped away from the PGA Tour in April, not sure whether it was lingering effects of Lyme disease or mounting frustration — probably both — that led to the decision. He just knew he needed to...

LIV failed to secure streaming rights from two of the biggest tech companies in the world.

Norman needs to admit that he’s going to be stuck with live streaming from one of Justine Reed’s Bruner phones.  At least he won’t be interrupted by texts from Patrick’s friends.  I’m sure they will make a deal with someone.at some point.  When you have a top 1,000,000,000 golfer like Pat Perez, someone is going to jump all over it.

    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
