    We should remember Brooks’ press conference at the US Open when he transfers over to LIV.   If he doesn’t switch then respect for his ripping the media but if he rips the media for asking questions and then he switches a few weeks later than he is disingenuous.

    Why would a guy who primarily only shows up for majors jeopardize his chances of winning future majors by moving to LIV?

    Going with Rahm for my one and done pick this week. With all the LIV shit going on and Rory/JT last week, kinda feels like he's a bit under the radar.  Had been kinda saving Rory for this week but it's just so damn hard to win 2 weeks in a row.

    JT for me...I am so incredibly bad this year, it's unreal.  Really good golfers miss the cut every time I pick them for like their only MC of the year

    I'm up to 5th place of around 70 people in mine.  Had JT for the PGA and Finau last week.  You gotta hit at least 1 major winner to have a good chance to win these pools....major payouts are crazy.  Just saw the winner this week is over $3M.

    Holy shit that rory double.

    he’s given 3 shots to the course 
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 15,942
    Come on Rory.  Course is playing difficult.  Would be awesome and frustrating to play this course as the pros do.
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,840
    I don’t dislike the guy, but anyone but scheffler? 
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 15,942
    Yeah, I am not excited to see his name at the top of the leader board.  Don’t know why.

    Woah, helluva putt from Fitzpatrick. 

    And then Zalatoris follows it right up.

    This is a very good golf tournament 
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 15,942
    Happy for Fitzpatrick.   These guys are good.  That bunker shot under pressure was impressive on 18 for Fitzpatrick.  


  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,840
    Was pulling for zalatoris a bit but always been a fan of Fitzpatrick. Seems like a good kid 
  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 15,942
    I just feel Zalatoris hasn't paid his dues yet.  Won a tour event or two, etc...  I think that is why I don't root for him.  Stupid reason but I think that is why.

    He's only been on the tour for a couple years and has been runner up at three majors. Give the kid a break! lol

    I like him. I just hate his stupid putter.

    Why would a guy who primarily only shows up for majors jeopardize his chances of winning future majors by moving to LIV?

    LIV should be viewed more as an exhibition and not a full tour which should limit qualification into future majors. It has a limited field, limited schedule, limited participation, guaranteed money not based on performance and no standard qualification / ability for non members  to enter and win the highest weekly prize. Their golfers are more protected employees than tour competitors.

    Encouraging comments from USGA president. 

    Whan cautioned that the U.S.G.A. would not act rashly but would unquestionably “re-evaluate” its qualifying criteria.

    “The question was, could you envision a day where it would be harder for some folks doing different things to get into a U.S. Open?” he said. “I could.”

    Brooks and Abe ancer

    Yep, Brooks completely rips on the media for asking him questions about a tour he will join less than a week later.  He wasn’t winning anymore on the PGA and probably doesn’t get the endorsements compared to others so makes sense he is chasing the money,

    So who's our WCW comparison for Brooks? So far we have....

    The Saudi government as Ted Turner
    Greg Norman as Eric Bischoff
    Phil Mickelson as Hollywood Hogan (right down to the black beard/clothes/shades)
    Dustin Johnson as Kevin Nash
    Bryson DeChambeau as Scott Hall

    He's sponsored by Nike and just signed a huge equipment deal with Srixon/Cleveland.  Dude is making a ton of money on endorsements.  He has been brutal this year but finished top 10 in 3 majors last year.  Huge loss for the Tour.  This whole situation just sucks.

    The Eamon Lynch article on Brooks is pretty good.  This is all bad though.  The 3 biggest heels in golf...4 if you count Sergio, are all gone from the PGA Tour.  Does suck

    I'm assuming this is Brooks, Bryson, and Reed?

    Maybe Phil rather than Brooks?  I wouldn't quite call Brooks a heel.  Bryson and Reed for sure.

    “You can’t drive a car looking in the rear view mirror”.  This may be the most ridiculous statement I have heard from Koepka. Sounded contrived and clearly he thought of it ahead of time because his delivery was a little clunky like he over practiced it.  

    It would be tough to turn down $100M.  Hopefully they will do a lot of good with it and not just buy planes and houses.  My guess is DJ and Brooks will buy planes and houses judging by how they needed to make sure the world was aware of how fantastic their wedding events were on Instagram.  One of the reasons I thought Brooks would go to LIV because he is about money and has an inferiority complex.
