this article is pretty good and shows the double standards of the PGA tour also. Basically only money matters https://www.telegraph.co.uk/golf/2019/10/02/bio-kim-victim-golfs-double-standards-stars-like-sergio-garcia/

Maybe i am in the minority but i really do think the pga tour should ban players from smoking and chewing on the golf course. It sets a bad example , looks unattractive and quite frankly i think it gives those players who do it a slight advantage as it helps them relax. I like a beer to relax, i wonder what the pga tour would think if i pulled out a cool frosty one while walking down the fairway. Im actually amazed they don't take a firmer view on it given their strict stance on the use of marijuna which is like legal in how many states now?

No i am not 'effing kidding' !! You are completely WRONG !!!! Sergio's 'spitting' incident that i was referring to WAS a one off. Ok so he can be douche and he knows it. He has apologised for most of those incidents you refer to. Doesnt make it all ok i agree and i'm not out to try and defend Sergio here. Brooks however can saunter round the golf course week after week grebbing everywhere and 'most' people (obviously including you) don't have an issue with it. Disgusting in my opinion Oh dear

Or maybe he is just being a petty primadonna

Yes i watched it, and he was clearly annoyed about the whole thing otherwise why bring it up. Yes i agree he was 'half' joking with the firing comment but that is Brooks allover, try's to act like he ain't really bothered when clearly he is..... i would bet a diamond against a penny that he would love someone to lose their job over it.

I'm indifferent towards Sergio to be honest. But you can't relate Sergio's spitting incident, (which i recall was a one off, and something that he apologised for), to Brooks who thinks it's completely normal grebbing his way around a golf course

100% this It would bother me having to play a round with him and put up with that constant spitting on every tee box.

Is he now the most disliked player on tour?. I hear he is now complaining at FOX after he was left out of their US Open preview commercial (which i'm sure couldn't have been an oversight on their part). Him calling for someone to be fired over it is ridiculous. Also his comments after the final round of the pga about how shocked he was by everyone cheering for DJ. I think it is finally hitting home how unpopular he is, poor Brooks

What a sight it is to see Brooks Kopeka spitting his way around on final day. Disgusting stuff !!!!

Yeah i know it was just a stupid joke. I know how good these girls are really. i could only dream of playing the type of golf they play

Am i the only one now expecting the fairways to look like this at The Masters next week....😂

I'm guessing you don't follow tour golf too much then I think whats different and quite unprecedented here was that he actually succeeded in stopping any mobile camera crews from following him for round 2. What argument he actually put to the European Tour / TV crews, and what changed between round 2 and round 3 when things appeared to be back to normal i would certainly be interested to know

So, during the early coverage of yesterdays 2nd round of the Race to Dubai finale, the tv commentators made an announcement that unfortunately they would only be able to show footage of Jon Rahm during his round from aerial or fixed cameras. This, apparently, was due to him complaining to the European tour that the mobile camera crews around the course were bothering him and pointing cameras at him during his first round. As im sure you all know he's a bit of a hot head on the course and it was only a few weeks ago at the Spanish open that he screamed at a Camera man whilst walking off the tee to 'stop pointing his camera at him, and point it at someone else' Now i don't know about you guys but i think this is absolutely disgusting behavior from a professional golfer who make their millions because all the TV rights/Sponsors etc, who the hell does he think he is !!! And also shame on the European Tour for allowing him to make such demands and not putting him in his place. Im pretty sure the PGATour wouldn't stand for it, and i guess the only reason the European Tour haven't taken a stance is because they don't want to upset a big draw player.

Yeah but everyone is thoroughly enjoying it dont forget, they are all loving it. And the real winner is the game of golf. its just wonderful wonderful wonderful. Talk about over egging that pudding....just pass me an efin bucket.......

I have to say i think its embarrassing. The format could have been good but in my opinion some of the the over the top theatrics are just cringeworthy. It just doesnt seem right in golf. Also the commentary is awful, constantly harping on about how amazing and exiting the new format is and how everyone is just loving it. Ok maybe they are but to keep going on about it every 5 mins..... jeezus. The nail in the coffin for me is the celebrity commentators. Denis Van Outen being asked how she would play a delicate chip on the last green was TV gold lol

This is my 6 year old nephew. This was during only his 2nd ever visit picking up a club at the local driving range. I know there are a lot of good youngsters out there he really impressed me. I just basically told him how to hold the club and how to stand and he just took to it so easily. Was hitting some 7 iron shots 60-70 yards and connecting almost 90% of the time. Looks like he could have some real natural talent I've been Playing Golf for: 2 days My current handicap index or average score is: n/a My typical ball flight is: n/a The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: n/a Videos: [ ]

I think this guy Jin Jeong takes some beating. He's finished stone last in so many events this season ive lost count. Quite how he managed to get on tour this current season i don't know but i'm sure there are plenty of golfers here on this forum who could have put in a better show than he has. I have to admire his resolve and hope he manages to turn his game around.... http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/players/playerid=36637/results/season=2016/index.html

“There is a moral obligation to pick me, I guess,” Knox told Golf Digest. “I don’t want Darren to pick me because of that, though. His goal is to pick the three best players who did not make the team. And I have a hard time not thinking I am one of those right now. “What I also have going against me is that I am maybe not super-close with a lot of guys on the team. I know people are assuming I am the third of the picks if he goes for Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer. But I should really be the first.” If ever there is a reason not to give a guy a pick, these comments are it..... What an 'a' hole

Sky sports are showing live but my CBS feed is on tape delay. Cant figure out why CBS wouldnt be showing it live, maybe they will catch up eventually

Yeah this is crazy. Please tell me they arent going to show the whole round on a 1.5 hr delay

It's more interesting to compare them both to today's players. I think if tiger was a his peak right now he would probably win less than half the tournaments he did. Jack would be totally lost in my opinion, and would probably have a career akin to the likes of kuchar/dufner/mahan .

I am sincerely sorry for daring to have an opinion different to yours about your poster boy. I thought that's what forums were for, i didn't realise it was a place to be be subjected to abuse and profanity for offering a different view, my bad. I hope the moderators take a look and deal with your post accordingly. If you are American i guess you will be right at home if Mr Trump makes it to the White House. Now i will let you get back to drooling over recordings of Spieth making 6 footers for par.

Completely not a troll attempt. Maybe i just saw things differently to you guys but his post round interview just wound me up. Yes he had a meltdown with a 5 shot lead, yes hes only 22, but hes also had a hell of a lot of things go his way this last 18 months so i found it very difficult to feel sorry for the guy. If he had come out after and given a normal interview like he usually does then fine but that interview with a tear in his eye just got to me.

Yes 100% spieth envy. Like millions of golfers around the world I would absolutely love to be Jordan. His post round interview was embarrassing, pure tears in his eyes sympathy seeking nonsense. Children are dying everyday around the world and he just lost a game of golf. Poor Jordan, purrrrrrlease Give me a break
