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.

A good example for those who think they should get a free drop from a divot hole. The golf gods giveth and take away…..🙂

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.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly.

      By iacas ·

      Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By saevel25 ·

      This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By iacas ·

      No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
