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

You do do that. It’s 100% Tiger, so any attention to other players has to be those you root against.

Eye on the TV, 'cause tragedy thrills me. Whatever flavor it happens to be like.

Harry because he's not....."svelte"

Spencer because he looks like a schlub and he smokes on the course

Thanks. Was just curious.

I don’t think Harry is as funny as other people think he is.

Daniel Berger. A few years ago, he was injured before a tournament (Memorial, I think) and knew he could not play. But instead of WD and letting an alternative in, he went to the first tee, hit an iron, and WD just to get a check. Pretty shallow IMO. He wasn't exactly starving at that point in his career.

Am just curious how he got a cheque for this.  My understanding is don't make the cut you don't get paid.  Whether you are one stroke or 10 strokes off the pace, you are cut.  Unless of course he got an appearance fee 🤷‍♂️

Something doesn't add up there, sorry. You don't get a check just for hitting one tee shot and WDing.

It was the 2016 Bridgestone WGC. I believe it was a limited field no cut event so last place made a nice pay day with one swing.

Then… as you may know, Tom, there was nobody to take his place. Archie may not know this.

The field is the field. Much like the field at the Masters, or some other invitationals: if he withdraws, there's no alternates list. The field just shrinks by one.

Jason Day drops Nike and  becomes  my favorite PGA player

Uhhh, that's not an actual quote. That's a troll account, or if you want to be generous, a meme or parody account.

And there are strong rumors it's Nike getting out of the business, not Day's choice. See also: Woods, Tiger.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
