He was probably a casualty of the Marcus/consumer finance plug getting pulled. Originally I think his hat was Marcus and once that was being wound down it was Goldman. Now I doubt we see anyone else with a GS hat.
Rumors swirling pretty hard. Supposed offer somewhere in the range of $500-$600 mill. He wants format changed from 54 holes to 72 holes. Thinks it will help with OWGR.
:( If this does happen, the pga will only have itself to blame for it after trying to form the alliance behind the players backs. If I’m Rahm I’m like “yall were getting into bed together anyway, why wouldn’t I take $600mil from the same people?”
Brooks playing in the Ryder Cup had to be a big deal for him as well. He already has the Majors locked up for awhile.
I hope this is good because they’re starting to lose me between Cleveland Browns talk, Chicago golf grievance, and Andy trail running talk.
I cant only deal with Andy's high pitched voice in short spurts. I basically save him for the majors now. Or if I see a podcast where he advocates for moving ANGC to Illinois.
I like them both but man there is too much content out there to hear him talk about being sick and going to birthday parties.
I wouldn’t really be relying on Phil’s word on a subject, but thankfully the new Euro greats are Vik and Ludvig anyways.
Played black Diamond quarry course with the family today. Such a fun track. I got in the zone and played one of the best rounds I’ve played. Had a chip in for birdie on a large elevated green that I couldn’t see.
Family must have been impressed. Those lessons are paying dividends right away and that's gonna move the handicap a bit.
It’s amazing how he changed everything but it just feels right. I’m taking them to my club on Friday. Can’t wait to hear all the complaining about the greens breaking reverse of what you think.
if someone like Doc Redman started an OnlyFans account with Paige Spiranac, would that qualify for PIP money?
I'm not familiar with what online engagement/views count towards the PIP, I’m wondering if someone went viral for the “wrong” reasons if it would still count
Gotcha. Idk on that except that the amount of money that Paige Spiranac would make on OF if she did it would make any PIP earnings look like pocket change. Even if someone like Doc Redman split it with her.
I'm a fan of Paige's lane. She embraces her allure without crossing a line into "unsavory content". And she has a personality and wit. I was surprised at her interactions on Bob Does Sports.
Bob and Paige is the couple the golf world needs. Their chemistry on camera is off the charts. " you a big nut guy? "
So now instead of bifurcation we get full rollback, thanks PGA America, PGA Tour, Titleist, and the like
I am going to lose my mind if they roll back my golf ball. come on man i need all the help i can get!!!
pretty much every group involved was against bifurcation though, I believe. The Tour, the PGA, obviously the manufacturers. Singling out the tour seems like a stretch, But maybe they have the weight to get everyone in line, if they wanted?
Can someone please explain for my 5 year old cousin that reads the board how balls currently are and how a rule change would impact that? Thanks
With new rules, new golf balls will be implemented that don’t fly as far. They’ll be used for both the pro and amateur game. Current balls will be deemed illegal to use.
LOL. Some manufactures will still make the old balls and label them "not for tournament play" or something.
The Tour and PGA had the opportunity to not put their head in the sand and support what seems like an obvious solution to the direction of the sport and the instead chose not to. Instead of providing leadership the two chose to carry water for manufacturers.
My mom lives along the fairway off to the right of a narrow par 4 so I literally have thousands of golf balls so I will be saving up to start my new black market business
