🏌️ Scottie Scheffler is now on his third different caddie of the year. Somehow that doesn’t sound like a problem, does it?
🏌️ The one person happier than Justin Rose when he won the FedEx St. Jude? How about Europe’s Ryder Cup captain, Luke Donald?
🏌️ Rickie Fowler played his way into the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings to play this week’s second playoff event, the BMW Championship. But he had the opportunity largely because he received sponsor exemptions in the signature events this year, which give more points. Did Fowler earn his way or not?
🏌️ Rory McIlroy skipped the FedEx St. Jude — the first playoff event — and remained No. 2 in the standings. Still think the playoffs have been fixed?
🏌️ McIlroy says he turned down a chance to be playing captain for Europe at the 2027 Ryder Cup in Ireland. Smart move?
🏌️ McIlroy went on to say that a playing captain can only realistically play one session each of the first two days, simply because of the captain’s responsibilities. Do you really want a playing captain who can’t play all five sessions if he’s hot?
🏌️ That said, should Keegan Bradley simply turn over all his captain’s duties to the assistants? Even the captain’s speech at the opening ceremonies? Or should he just not pick himself and stop all the talk?
🏌️ Who is going to be the Ryder Cup snub that gets the most attention?
🏌️ One of the most successful and electric pairs in recent U.S. Ryder Cup history — Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed — have become a distant memory. We forget quickly, don’t we?
