Great comeback win for Scheffler after his PGA championship drama. Tough course. Interesting to see how players had difficulty holding greens even with short irons from fairways. 

Very watchable. A win on a tough course  is the best

Lol. Love it.

Scottie doing his best Ho Sung Choi impression yesterday.

 

@boogielicious was doing that last Friday.

The course did its job well. Eagles and doubles in play, single digit winning score. Scottie even made it interesting on Sunday. He made a few mistakes that nearly cost him the tournament and the putter got cold on Sunday with -1.33 SG. A lot of burned edges.

It was my left leg though, not my right light Scottie.

My left hip was hurt. I couldn’t finish my swings.

Dang. I would have retired to keeping my cart partner's score and drinking beers. Not necessarily in that order.

Tom Kim stands over the ball 25-ish seconds before starting the swing. Ludvig Åberg barely gets into his stance before he is done.

I don’t know what their total time per shot is, just find it fascinating.

[Vinsk]

And protesters storm the 18 green! Can’t stand those asshats……Good for Kim!!! It’s going to a playoff!!!!

Scheffler’s at it again.

Quote

This week's win for Scheffler was historic. All of them are at this point in his season. Since 1983, only three other golfers have won six times in a year. With two months left in the season and around five events remaining on his expected schedule, Scheffler has a chance to move even further up that list.

Quote

With a win today, Scottie Scheffler is the first player to reach 6 wins in a PGA Tour season before July since Arnold Palmer in 1962.

I had to smile quietly to myself - "No golf on a dead planet."  Really?  You people don't know golfers very well.  Not only have I played golf on dirt, I've played golf with dice.  With computers.  Board games.  I've putted on wood floors and carpets.  And often, if I'm driving by a piece of land that looks like a golf course should be placed on it, I'm playing golf in my mind.😋

They don't care. They are zealots that only have one agenda. They gaslight themselves that any opposition is against their cause. There is no reason to waste energy thinking more past this.

I agree 100%.

Two big things today.

First:

PGA Tour to see major changes, possibly by 2026

---

All this and more are being discussed and could be implemented as soon as the 2026 season.

Second:

Seth Waugh stepping down as CEO of PGA of America

---

During his tenure, the PGA relocated its headquarters from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida to a fancy, new campus in Frisco, Texas.
