    PGA is doing a hell of a job on this 5th major nonsense. No thanks. Don’t dilute what we have 
    There was a time in the 90's when Golf Digest (my father was a subscriber) was pushing it as a half-major. They also considered the British and U.S. Amateur tournaments to be majors for some reason. I guess it had something to do with John Ball and Bobby Jones never turning pro or something.

    The US Am was a major back in the day.  I don't remember when it officially switched, but it definitely was.

    Nice ace from Kokrak, Snedeker nearly did the same thing but the ball bounced off the flag.

    This tourney is coming down to the wire just like The Player's. Love watching the guys have to grind it out on a tough setup.

    Yeah, tight fields are exciting to watch- when every single shot by several players have so much importance.

    Hot take...this is the most boring tournament of the year. And I like match play

    I got the job in Jacksonville FL. Moving in a few weeks.

    And I love match play as well. What turns you off of this one?

    Awesome. Congratulations! 

    The first couple rounds are great but it gets so slow on the weekend, especially Sunday. The course is pretty though

    Today was fun. Was home with a sick baby so got to watch a bit

    Why are they using “tied” over all square or halved?

    It was part of the USGA rule changes. Very stupid if you ask me.

    LOL.  I was wondering that when I was watching yesterday.  So silly.

    I like this tournament....change it up from the usual.  I like that they're doing different things like this and then the team event for the Zurich.

    So dumb.

    I do like the early parts of this tournament, but I am usually stuck at work.  Come Sunday it's just so slow since there is so little golf being played.

    PGA Tour Live with great coverage of this tournament.....that's such a great subscription service.

    Yeah it is a little strange on Sunday when there's only 4 guys playing.

    Yeah, I get PGA tour live and love being able to get it on the TV through the NBC sports app. Obviously also gold while I am at work.  I was actually not going to get it this year since it looked like the cost went up with the switch to NBC Sports Golf or whatever, but then I was auto-renewed at the old price, or a couple bucks more, so whatever.  Glad to have it.

    Yeah same thing happened with me.  Could have renewed it for $50 for the year but forgot to do it in time so instead going to pay $10/month like an idiot.  Oh well...I work at home so I watch it a ton so well worth it.
