    We just sat through an Olympics in China. They had their ski jumping on top of a coal plant and the brought out a Uyghur to light the torch. All the athletes wore masks because of the China Virus. Everyone can fuck off with their latest outrage for eternity.
    It was a Nuke plant. But still

    Antifa will be out to toss milkshakes at Bryson. They’ll ignore the fact that half the members at Pumpkin are highly paid Nike execs.

    I was gonna say the opposite. Phil got like $200m and DJ got like $150-$200. Both are basically exempt in all majors for awhile. DJ would have to win ten FedEx cups in a row to make that kind of cash. He could win another 10 pga tour events and it wouldn’t improve his legacy even close to what another major or two would do.
    Still, their reputations are shot. I think the Masters stays with their required tour winnings requirements along with the PGA. Will be tough for a non-major winner to stay qualified.

    Setting up competition is a dick move? Weird take.

    It will succeed or fail if it's merits. You seem pretty fragile about it. Especially your moral outrage about the Saudis. I'm guessing you're still buying gas and own many things made in China.
    Fragile? What the fuck are you talking about? My opinion differs from yours so I am "fragile"? FFS man, discuss the point or don't but stop with the bullshit about fragility or free markets. My points had nothing to do with any of that.

    Norman and the saudi's aren't trying to play in concert with the PGA, they are trying to end it, and I hope they fall flat on their face.

    She's going to hook the shit out of the ball. No way to hit the deep right pin with that grip.
    That's absolutely the first thing I noticed in this photo.

    The leader board at the Canadian Open is timely for the tour

    Watching some of the Golf Channel US Open week coverage. Justin Thomas look like a 29 year old competent adult who is enjoying being one of the world's best golfers at one of great tournaments of the year. Phil Mickelson looks like a 52 year old guy they found in a homeless tent and definitely isn't enjoying himself. You would think a a couple of hundred million dollars might bring a smile to Phil.

    • Charl Schwartzel won the $4 million first-place prize in London, plus another $750,000 for being part of the winning team. Sure, he’s a former Masters champion. But that was 11 years ago. More relevant: He was, statistically, the 198th-best player on Tour this season, and he just won the inaugural LIV event. Yikes.

    Current LIV players will still be able to tee it up this week at the U.S. Open, but a close reading of the USGA’s statement seems to suggest that might not be the case moving forward. The USGA didn’t alter its qualifying criteria for this year’s event because it’d be unfair to the competitors who had already earned their way into the “open” championship. Fair enough. But there’s nothing keeping the blue blazers from shutting out LIV players next year or closing any potential Asian Tour loophole – you know, for the “good of the game.” Another important step is what happens with the Official World Golf Ranking. LIV officials plan to file an application this week, despite boasting 48-man fields with the likes of Phachara Khongwatmai and Andy Ogletree. The board deciding its fate consists of … the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, Augusta National, R&A, USGA and International Federation of PGA Tours. Good luck!

    What did the 198th place player get paid for his finish at the Canadian Open?

    Rory, the winner, only got $1.5 million. If Charl finished mid-pack he would've made around $25k in that event.

    NOC about some has been getting 4 million

    Great. Good effort

    The World watched Rory and JT

    That's how Tiger got 1.7 billion
