PGA 2022

Schwartzel is about to make a cool $4 mill.

olgetree still getting $120,000 for being DFA.

the fact you have search for a leaderboard on their website is interesting to say the least.

They don’t even have one on their 2004 model website.    There was a menu link for it but it didn’t go anywhere.

Tree falls in the woods, Schwartzel wins the tournament…and $4.75 million for his trouble. 

That equates to approximately $88,000 per hole played.

Rory Mcilroy won the Canadian open. I know he is the unofficial voice of opposition to the LIV for the PGA. I was just wondering why he doesn’t play exclusively on the European Tour.

He nailed it.  That should be required watching for anyone contemplating the decision.

Rahmbo gives no fucks.  Love that dude.

Now Chamblee is calling for Mickelson and Norman to be kicked out of the Hall of Fame. I think the pga and those associated with it are royally screwing up how they are handling it. 90% of the publicity about liv is coming from the pga and it’s members.  I had no idea who the pga members in the new league were until the pga published the list of names. The pga is scared to death about this. All of the pros that are saying the reason they play professional golf has nothing to do with the money are full of shit. The ones saying they are on a moral high ground are full of shit. Why not get some of the money back here that we send over for their oil?

The pga should have just said “whatever, they’ll be back.”  Let everybody who wants to go over and play. Don’t treat it any differently  than the European or Asian tour. It will probably flame out after a year. The more the opposition publicizes it and the more its players start to make it look like a rivalry, the greater the chances are that it won’t.

[DrMongoose]

What is the basis for kicking them out of the hall of fame? That is crazy talk.

I agree with you that the PGATour is creating most of their pub and should ignore them.

[Barton Fink]

Speaking of morals, has Tiger weighed in?

The basis for Ramble Incessantlee is same as always, diarrhea of the mouth (or Twitter fingers).

He’s no more than the Paul Finebaum of pro golf. 

[TexZilla]

Chamblee is a turdwich.  The Hall of Fame is for great sports careers.  It’s the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  They don’t toss out hoFers for murder, rape,assault. 

[The Whyte Boar]

This is all so stupid.  These guys are professional golfers.  That means they play golf for money.  Somebody offered them more money than they could make in a career as more or less a fancy appearance fee.

“I’ve decided for myself that I’m supporting the PGA Tour. That’s where my legacy is,” Woods said in November 2021. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have won 82 events on this tour and 15 major championships, and been a part of the World Golf Championships, the start of them and the end of them.”

Regardless of what  anybody thinks about Tiger, he is the world wide face of golf and in one simple statement there is no Tiger/LIV story.

I think Rory is out there to destroy LIV golf. He’s going to try and become the biggest draw in golf and choke out the Saudi’s.

Uuuhhh do hwut?

The Euro tour will allow LIV players.  Frankly the PGA needs to figure some shit out.  Other than big tourneys no one watches these small events.  They should tighten the schedule, change the back half of the season, and support certain event type things.  I like Skins game type things, and these events like Brady Rodgers.  I’d rather watch those with no gallery except majors and bigs.

The Euro Tour has a fraction of the leverage of the PGA Tour.   The biggest trump card is held by the Official World Golf Ranking board.  If they don’t award points for these non-traditional format events on the LIV Tour, these guys eventually won’t qualify to play in the majors. 

I don’t THINK it will come to that but it could.
