Players like Cantlay would have difficulty getting into the majors in the future without tour wins and what could be declining world rankings. Players like Koepka and Reed made more sense because they have automatic qualifiers from prior major wins, for the next few years at most.
If these guys want Saudi blood money in obscurity playing after five second ads on you tube next to bad bunny, so be it. In five years, good luck getting into majors or endorsement deals.
PGA is announcing increased prize money next year and a new 3 week international series. Hopefully the majors and OGWR will update qualifications soon.. Exhibition series like LIV should have no place in OGWR rankings and no opportunities for major qualifications, as these players are now paid employees and not golf competitors
First Ireland golf round in the books. Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links. A Bernard Langer design. Accidentally played from 7100 yards as didn’t think 6500 meters was that long. Had a blast even though shot a 46-46. So much fun.
Portmarnock Golf Club was completely full. But got to ease into links golf by myself which was nice.
They probably get a lot of business from confused tourists booking the
wrong course...I'm teeing it up for 4 days in Surrey (London suburbs)
after the Amsterdam show. Have fun!

Good for you. Have a great time.
I wanted to play 36 today but need to ease my way into this. 13 rounds ahead of me. Stayed at the hotel so only 150. WAnted to stay close to Portmarnock Golf Club just in case a spot opened.
And it's close to the airport! I've played Royal Dublin, which is a decent links. The Island is also supposed to be decent, in that area as well. What's the full itinerary look like?

Watched about 5 mins of the LIV broadcast. They do show a ton of actual golf shots which is nice but holy shit these announcers are nauseating. Jerry Foltz in particular.

Day 1: Crowded House concert in Dublin Day 2: Portmarnock Hotel Golf Day 3: Portstewart Strand Day 4: Portstewart Strand Day 5: Royal Portrush Day 6: County Sligo and Lahinch Day 7: Go to JP McManus Pro-am to hopefully see Tiger Woods at Adare Manor Day 8: Lahinch Day 9: Ballybunion x2 Day 10: Adare Manor Day 11: Tralee Day 12: Old Head Day 13: Royal County Down
SiX nights in Budapest to relax after all the Ireland mess and then one night to see PJ in Paris.
That's wild man! Sligo and Lahinch on the same day! Not terribly close to each other. Old Head and Royal County Down far apart as well. That's a dream list. Try to find some rest in there, pace yourself, and good luck! Old Head must be seen to be believed.
I had paid for two rounds at places because my brother was coming too in 2020 and 2021 before the covid cancellations, but he couldn’t do the trip this year. So that is why I have some double rounds booked. If I am exhausted I will just skip one. Couldn’t get a refund. I had to fit in Royal County Down if I could find an opening and that was the only one. Had two paid rounds at Old Head so figured I should drop that in too and just have lots of long drives. Never know when can make it back here.
played Portstewart Strand today. My god what an awesome, but tough and tiring course. I give it up to you Irish golfers. Definitely in shape. American golf couldn’t survive without the golf cart.

You're walking all of these rounds?
Pretty much have to at these courses.
Caddies, carts or carry?
Pushcarts, but a few will be caddy.
Geez. I walked three days in a row (18 each) a few weeks ago and my arthritic knee was friggin' angry for about 5 days. I would have no chance doing what you're doing. I could play 13 days in a row, but not push a cart.

I had knee issues last summer. Walked 7 rounds in three days to start a golf trip. I canceled rounds the next two days as I couldn’t walk very well. I am trying to be careful this time by exercising ahead of time and then taking it slow up and down hills. I can feel some of the knee pain starting to flare up a little. I may cancel the two-a-days. Back issues too. I always try to do too much on vacations.
