Maybe they wouldnt be tearing them up if shots that miss the green or fairway were penalized with deep rough

I wont comment further except to say maybe we can get a -40 winner soon on these tests of golf skill Hideki Matsuyama runs away with The Sentry, breaks scoring record to open new PGA Tour season Hideki Matsuyama picked up his 11th PGA career win on Sunday afternoon in Hawaii.

Those who watch seem to be fewer and fewer Masters ratings plunge 51 percent, lowest since '57 - Sports Media Watch Facing NFL competition for the first time, the final round of the Masters plunged to new lows in ratings and viewership. The ratings plunge is across the board

MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid. "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done." I agree. Instead of penalizing players for turtle play they appease the slow jerks by cutting the fields. They will play even slower knowing they will NEVER be penalized.

Very good

They need to do something to speed up play. They could randomly time players. One idea would be if a group gets out of position they are disqualified. If its a group of 3 and its 1 player playing like molasses i can imagine an exciting interaction, lol

TV ratings continue to drop. Stop the endless wiggles and waggles.

Its way past time both tours have major penalties for slow play. I hate it when they say" This group is on the clock". Big damn deal. Issue penalties. Maybe Hull is a bit too harsh but its time a slew of 2 stroke penalties start being issued. Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

This is the senior tour. I expect more players in their prime. Langer is awesome. Thats truly awesome.

And he has had alot of health issues as you expect from someone still playing at 67

The man is just amazing. I thought he was done finally but he wins yet another won. Well done

It might help the action some if the championship was played on a championship worthy course.

A true playoff would be the final 32 in match play

He did it because he was mad he didnt qualify for the playoffs. Had he really did it to protest playing in the dark he could have exercised his right to stop play, not hit into the group ahead, and head to the clubhouse. Then withdraw so as to not inconvenience anyone else. That would have been the classy thing to do.

He could have taken out his putter and finished the hole putting from the fairway and it would have made no difference to him or anyone else.
