UNLESS HE GETS HIS ARMS CHOPPED OFF
He should avoid the kitchen then!

I just read an article saying he's heading home to Bama to think his life over after this win. He can stay amateur or go pro now (the win gives him his Q card automatically) and reap the rewards. He'll make millions overnight through sponsorships alone.

He's right that it is life changing. The quality and quantity of women that flirt aggressively with him is about to skyrocket.

Let's hope he's been raised right and has a good support structure in place so he doesn't fall prey to the worst of them.

If I was rich and famous at his age half of the world's population would be my kids.

Phoenix Open changes are coming.

This is a tournament where the fans are like your typical college football game crowd. They're rowdy and drunk. This time it went way overboard. Fans were yelling during players' swings, spraying others with beer, passed out drunk on the course, and so on.

Well, then, I'm a little sad I missed the only fun golf tournament around.

LIV gives up on trying to get their golfers ranking points.

So LIV has become a league you go to if you want:
-A huge paycheck
-Meaningless events
-No audience
-No ability to be ranked in the world, and thus, no invitations to real tournaments
-No sponsorships or fame because nobody is watching

Scottie Scheffler is playing at a level far exceeding anyone else.

Last week he was down several strokes going into Sunday and won by 5. This week he was down 5 to start the day and then won by a single stroke. He avoided a playoff when Wyndham Clark lipped out a birdie putt on 18.

Dude is absolutely the #1 golfer in the world and playing like it. If he had Tiger's hype machine behind him he'd be a household name.

I also want to point out that last week he was asked about the frustration from fans that the biggest names in the world weren't at all of these PGA events. He responded, and I'm paraphrasing, "Blame the guys who took money to go play somewhere else."

He's 100% right. The guys who left for LIV took money to go play for a league that doesn't matter, in tournaments with no competition or stakes, is a front to try and improve a country's reputation, and that nobody watches. They're the bad guys. I don't fault them for taking the easy money. I fault them for not being honest about it.

Why can't aging athletes let go?

For Tiger to win he'd need everyone else to die.

He was programmed as a child to play golf, win golf, and nothing more. Dude is broken in many ways.

He won last week and has a 4 stroke lead at the Masters with 2 holes to play. Total domination not seen since Tiger's prime.

If he was black or trans it'd be all sports MSM could talk about.

PIF continues their fight against the PGA.
Financial records filed by LIV Golf's United Kingdom-based company, which operates its tournaments outside the U.S., indicated it had nearly $400 million in operating losses in 2023. Financial records for events in the U.S. weren't available.
They have never made a profit. Give out $100M contracts. Hold events around the globe to scant audiences. Get no ratings. And so on.

When a company operates at a loss of hundreds of Ms and has easily sunk over a B into operations with no return, yet acts like they don't give a shit, that is a massive red flag.

But we all know the ultimate goal isn't golf or even profit...
