🏌️ The winner of this week’s PGA Tour event — the Baycurrent Classic in Japan — will not receive an invitation to the Masters. Instead, the winner of this week’s Open Espana (Spanish Open) on the DP World Tour, will get the coveted spot. Sound right to you?
🏌️ Be honest: Had you heard of Steven Fisk before he won the Sanderson Farms Championship?
🏌️ Early in Ryder Cup week, Collin Morikawa publicly called for “chaos” among the fans during the competition. Think he regrets using that word?
🏌️ Have you seen the video of PGA of America president Don Rea rapping Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” on Saturday night of the Ryder Cup with the Americans behind 11½-4½? Should someone remind Rea of the first rule of finding yourself in a hole?
🏌️ Paul Azinger, 2008 winning Ryder Cup captain, said Keegan Bradley should have picked LIV players Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed. Agree?
🏌️ Does no one care about using Azinger’s successful approach to the captaincy? Or would other captains simply prefer to lose using their own method?
🏌️ PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp has said his philosophy for the Tour is “parity, scarcity and simplicity.” Does that sound like fewer players competing in fewer events? Will that notion come back to haunt him?
🏌️ PGA Tour Champions players are complaining that Rolapp has cut their pension from $10 million per year to $8 million. Wait, why do Champions Tour players even have a pension? Isn’t that what the prize money is for?
🏌️ Lebron James took up golf over the summer and in short order called our game “the most complicated mind f**k ever.” Would you say he’s a quick study?
