  1. Golf is a means to an end for some of these guys, and legacy be damned. And that's okay. It just means that Jack's and Tiger's records will last even longer.
  2. So here's who I'm see going to LIV next year. Some of these predictions on comments players have made in the past year or so. For example, Morikawa and Schauffele have admitted they never watched golf and know next to nothing about the history of the PGA Tour. Thus, they're prime candidates for defection, as they have no interest in creating a legacy on the PGA Tour. However, I don't see Morikawa moving to LIV for now. Anyway, here's what I predict: - Xander Schauffele (He and Patrick are attached at the hip, so if one goes, the other will follow.) - Patrick Cantlay - Cameron Young (He's a great young talent, but doesn't look golf it's fun to him.) - Adam Scott (Norman wants him real bad, and I think he'll finally accept Norman's offer.) - Corey Conners (Just a hunch, but after a disastrous President's Cup, he might take the money if offered.) There could be others, but this is a start. Dale
  3. After watching the Presidents Cup post-round interviews, it appears that the American squad are a bunch of media dolts. Seriously. Show some emotion! Have some fun! Your golf score is not a first-world problem, and the cliches are so old by now. Rory, Justin, Kisner, Jordan, and Max are great in front of the camera, and perhaps the rest of the team needs some media training. So far, the worst interviewees are: Xander, Cameron Young, and Scheffler. Dale
  4. Speaking of Shane Bacon, how come he's not on Golf Channel any longer? Dale
  5. Either Harris English, or Daniel Berger. Horschel has proven his mettle in match play, so there's no argument there.

    2022 Masters

    Though the odds are not in his favor, I think this is finally the year Rory comes through. The Masters is really hard to predict (Danny Willett?).
  7. Completely agree. Horschel should have been a captain's pick last year, but the good-ol-boys club kept him out. I like Kisner, but his lack of (relative) distance negates his strength when the Ryder Cup is played at 7500+ yard courses.
  8. Phil. By an order of magnitude. Tiger's off-the-course transgressions are found in all of professional sports, and go way back. And in no way are they right. But Phil was involved in trying to undermine the PGA Tour, and causing financial anarchy.
  9. With respect to all Australians, they make horrible golf announcers. I generally love their accent, but for golf, it's just grating to the point of wanting to stick a pencil in my eye. Just saying.
  10. As someone mentioned above, the Waste Management tournament has set the standard for boorish behavior. Throw alcohol into the mix, and you get what we have today. Here's an honest question though. Should the tour implement their version of baseball's 7th-inning stretch? That is no beer after the 7th inning. And I think football has banned alcohol sales after the 3rd quarter. How would the tour even implement something like this? Does it even make sense?
  11. I say let him have at it. At his age now, he's having trouble controlling his current driver, so any additional length will be that much harder to control.
  12. Look dude, you clearly have a problem with anyone being critical of Bryson. That's fine. These forums exist so people can have discussions and differences of opinions. If you don't like what's being said in this thread, then why read it? I don't read threads that I don't like. Back to Bryson though. He's being coddled by the PGA Tour. Plain and simple. No he's not being "bullied". Is he being heckled? You bet. But as Patrick Cantlay said, he's brought this on himself.
  13. Bryson was interviewed on the Golf Channel last night and he said, "Oh, it's not about me!" Say what? The comish called out the "Brooksie" comments specifically and said they had to stop. So it sounds like Bryson is in denial about the whole thing, and as long as he surrounds himself with people that tell him what he wants to hear, then this will continue to get worse.
  14. Just watched Patrick Cantlay's interview about this, and to summarize, he said that (without naming names), this is a symptom of a larger problem of those seeking attention over social media (via the Player Interaction program, or whatever it's called). His response was very measured, and well articulated. He did bring up other valid points such as Tour players are much closer to fans and there's inherent risk there, and he compared Tour players with (specifically) Yankee players playing in Boston at Fenway Park. Yes, it's difficult being on the field, but you know that you'll be back in Yankee stadium a few days later with fans that love you. Except that disrespect towards players has been going on for decades on the PGA Tour. What Bryson is going through is NOT unique.
  15. If anything, the target on Bryson's back has become bigger now, and the taunting will only increase. Also, look for the commish to walk back his "policy" and say it was "misinterpreted".
