favicon.png Ian Poulter takes brutal swipe at PGA Tour over TV ratings after Masters figures emerged - Mirror Online

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).

Is it me or does Knapp look like Joe Dirt?

Aside from not being a Wyndham fan and maybe tired of  Scheffler, I can’t imagine any true golf fan not seeing the superior product we watched this weekend to any LIV Tournament.    Who watches

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.

favicon_y24_48x48.svg The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises

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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
