The PGA Tour has seen a fall in TV viewership in recent months, and LIV Golf star Ian Poulter could not...

 

Talk about sensationalizing the headline. "Brutal swipe"? It's not like anyone is really watching Ian Poulter (or ever really did).

I might be remembering wrong, having a Mandela Effect, but I believe Curtis Strange was referred to as ‘The Postman’ well before Poulter. 

The internet does not reveal anything to support such a claim, therefore you must be mistaken, The internet is never wrong.

What I do remember from ‘89-90 is having a guy in my fraternity that looked like Curtis Strange so we all called him the Postman.

5 in a row  for  Korda  now and a  major. 

Meanwhile on the PGA Tour, Scheffler is five ahead through 15 with play to resume on Monday.

If he wins, it would be his fourth in five starts. Has two players ever dominated like that simultaneously?

Is wyndham clark going to be the GOAT 2nd place 3rd place guy

We will see once Meredith has the baby and Scottie takes some time off. I'm sure there are a lot of guys wishing she would hurry up and have the kid already. Wyndham is one of them. I'm glad to see him not winning. I don't like him. I lean towards him not winning Pebble if it went 72 holes. He got lucky, Aberg may have passed him.

Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less. 


This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage.

To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.

This lead up to LIV Adelaide has the same fell as a normal Major

Dude. Stop.

It does not.

If you're just here to troll about LIV stuff, go somewhere else. When you make stupid statements like that, it's trolling.

What “Lead Up”?  I’ve not seen a single article until I just googled it.  I see no hype.

I had an article on Cam Smith pop up along with this.....


Here's a look at which majors, if any, all LIV Golf players are eligible.

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that.

    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
