Congrats to Korda. One of the alltime great finishes.

Best golf in many months on any tour today. Nelly Korda started with a 4 shot lead then choked that away to trail Ko by 3 with 2 to play. She then goes on the eagle and birdie the last 2 holes to force a playoff. Best golf in a very long time as Ko is also trying to qualify for the HOF.

I finish every round i play. Every course is brutal to me. . Lets congratulate Dunlap on a great win.

12 under par for the cut on this brutally hard course this week.

Jason Day drops Nike and becomes my favorite PGA player

If Homa, Finau, and Hatton go then the PGA can actually have a very profitable weekly tv format. Pay Tiger Woods to play a practice round every sunday and pay him 2 million to televise his every shot and just tell everyone else to stay home or go to LIV.

Finau and Hatton reported to be in talks to join Liv.

MSN "Wells Fargo, which has sponsored the PGA Tour’s annual event in Charlotte, North Carolina, since 2011, will discontinue its partnership with the tour after the 2024 season, according to Erik Spanberg of the Charlotte Business Journal. The Financial Services company wanted to stay on as a sponsor beyond 2024, but did not want to commit to the rising financial costs that the PGA Tour demanded, per Josh Carpenter of Sports Business Journal. That, of course, is a direct result of LIV Golf, and the endless sum of money that the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has in its vaults. The PIF has over $700 billion in assets, whereas the PGA Tour is a $1 billion not-for-profit." The best course of action for the PGA now is to make a deal with LIV and move on.

You are quite wrong. If you change a 530 yd par 5 into a 530 yd par 4 then you go from an eagle/birdie fest to a struggle for par. The ball rollback accomplishes absolutely nothing and its a total waste of time.

This is a pinprick, a nothing burger. If the object is to put a stop to runaway scores its easy to do. Push tees back, narrow fairways, eliminate par 5's where players are hitting irons for the 2 nd shot and convert them to par 4's, deep rough around greens and fairways and deepen bunkers. If you dont hit the fairway or green expect to be penalized.

With Rahm heading over they need to get a better deal with a major network. Scheffler is a legit star. Thomas and Speith are both soft. I would love to see Rahm, Koepka, and Dustin Johnson finish in the top 5 at the Masters.

They are a new tour. Lets give them a few years. Another reason to watch LIV right now is you dont have to listen non-stop about tiger woods even though he is 16 shots behind in a 20 player field

The players are too soft now and pampered. Tour hasnt adjusted to the technology.

I hope Rahm moves on and puts an end to the PGA tour.

Too bad Curtis Strange isnt a few years younger. He would be awesome

No, im Tige, never mind. Match play would make this so much better. They must have picked the 3 easiest kiddie courses they could find for this joke. Playoffs should be harder than the reg season and force players to make difficult shots.

Sadly, so many of the holes are so short now they dont even need a driver.

Yes, and the rule should be lift clean and drop, not lift clean and cheat

Randomness happens all the time. Its up the player to overcome it. One player hits shit shot in calm conditions and the next guy gets hit with a wind gust. One guy hits a duck hook out of bounds and the next guy duck hooks it out of bounds but low and behold it hits a tree and bounces into the fairway.

Love it. Way too often [;ayers intentionally hit it in the grandstand to get a favorable drop 3 changes 1-No lift clean and cheat. Once wet conditions are declared give the player the option of 1 ball drop within a club length radius. No second drop if the balls ends up an inch closer to the hole. no placing, no tee-up 2-If you hit the ball in the rough and you get to take a free drop for some reason the ball MUST be dropped in the rough and no more finessing the rules to get out of the rough. 3-Match play for the fedex cup

If i were calling the shots that artificial crap would be dropped. The final weekend would be the top 32 or 16(whichever is more workable) in match play. Thats a real playoff with real pressure. I know the pampered players wouldnt like it because its direct one on one competition. Its like the NFL seeding teams and saying the num 1 seed starts the game leading 10-0. In my world you have to go out out in a pressure situation and beat your opponent to advance. There is a simple solution to that. There is no lift clean and cheat. Replace it with giving the player the option of dropping the ball say within a 3 foot radius if he feels the lie is unfair( only once dropping in the fairway has been declared). Clean the ball if you want then drop it. That first drop counts no matter if the ball ends up an inch closer to the hole. If the ball ends up in a worse place that the chance you take by dropping. No placing, no tee-ups.

At this rate "play it where it lies" has been totally discarded. Why not just let the players tee-up every shot anywhere on the course all the time. There is no penalty for missing the green or fairway. The "rough" is smooth, bunkers are as easy to play from as the fairway and the equipment has rendered most holes a joke now. To compensate they need to narrow fairways and make it a penalty for missing a green or fairway with high thick rough and deep soft bunkers. These playoffs should be played on hard courses that forces players to make shots, not tiny tot holes designed not to hurt players feelings.

I dont agree. When there are no hard holes the pressure comes off everyone. Are they STILL playing lift clean and cheat after 3 days of sun? Is the PGA so afraid of the players now they will do anything to keep from having them look bad?

But its a 5 shot lead without any challenging holes to play. If they are still playing cheat then its tough to catch up when the leader has no challenging holes to fear. Also, this format is really boring. They need to cut down to 16 for the final weekend and have match play. That would be a true playoff instead of this artificial nonsense.

I heard on the telecast last time they played this course only 5 players broke par. Lift clean and cheat again?
