    And now they're saying DJ and Koepka got into it Sunday night after the Ryder Cup.  Sounds like this whole team was a disaster and not just Reed.  Brutal.
    Amazing.  I almost love it.

    Take this with a MASSIVE grain of salt, but I heard a long time ago through the grapevine (guy who works for me is good friends with someone who went to school and is good friends with a pretty well known pro), but he said that the DJ Masters WD was because of a scuffle with Brooks.  The fall was not self-inflicted we'll say...

    Dude came into work giddy with this news today, thinks he is right haha.
    Oh yeah...if it's going to be a mess it might as well be a complete fucking disaster with everyone hating each other.  

    Wouldn't surprise me if that's true.  The whole "slipping on the stairs" thing always seemed like bullshit.

    Burn it all to the ground...again.

    Yeah, man.  Behind the scenes golf rumors are the best rumors.  Hell of a sport.

    Oh man this is great.  His wife and her family seem like a fun group!  It's going to be so awkward when Reed is on the presidents cup team again next year. 

    The guy is an asshole, but I still think it was dumb of Furyk to break up that highly successful team of Speith/Reed.  And it's hilarious that Reed is 6-0 in singles and the boy scout is 0-6.

    I think I will root for the European team from now on.  The US is soft.  Mickelson should retire.

    Well I don't think Phil has to worry about ever playing for a Ryder Cup team again.

    I don’t think he needs to worry about the PPV hits on his stupid little match with Tiger either. I hope it flops. I sure won’t be paying to watch that crap.

    Would have been worth watching 10 years ago.  Not now.

    Without question. Or if they had some skin in the game, I’d still be interested today. But $10M of other people’s money doesn’t excite me in the least bit. I’ll catch the highlights on ESPN.

    Yeah I have zero interest in watching this.  Now if it was something like JT vs Rory I would be interested.

    Really having a hard time putting my trip together for the US Open at Pebble Beach next summer... I bought my ticket package when they went on sale, but I can't get travel and accommodations figured out without breaking the bank.

    JT tweeted there is a 0% chance he’ll watch the Tiger/Phil PPV spectacle because he’ll be watching football. Priceless!

    Johnny Miller retiring.  I liked how he was critical of players.  Paul Azinger will do a good job taking over.

    I think a lot of the golf guys here couldn’t stand JM.

    me? I can’t stand TW.

    I, for one, am one of the bigger Johnny Miller haters.  As DJ lines up a 59 foot triple breaker, Miller will drop some nonsense "this is pretty simple putt, guys.  If he doesn't get this within 2 feet, it's definitely a very poor effort".  Everything is easy.

    That said, while I think the Fox US Open (and Am) coverage has gotten much better and I like it, Azinger's shtick is going to wear off in a hurry.

    I don't mind his criticisms when a guy hits a bad shot, but it just seems he has personal vendettas against certain guys (Rory for sure).  It seems to really bother him that these guys workout and stay in good shape these days.

    I don’t mind criticism either but it’s just soooo off the wall
