Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

Pereira missed the putt on 17 and that was all she wrote.

Lol, like there’s a bad way to win a major. Dude shot 32 on the back 9, 67 total.

He made the plays when everyone else choked.

The 74 on Saturday for jt was tough but 3 67s on that track is playing. It’s a big golf course.

I’m still chafed from walking it Wednesday and Thursday. Tough track

Good

There will be a lot more players than just that playing these events soon enough. Is the PGA Tour going to suspend them all?

[Donger]

Clearly a conspiracy to get Tiger more major wins...

Just catching up on this PGA vs LIV.
Sounds like a hostile takeover.
Money always/usually wins in these sort of circumstances.

LIV doesn't appear to be going anywhere any time soon and the players will, by and large, follow the money. It's a profession after all.

I get that the PGA Tour wants to maintain its same standing its had for decades now, but that may not be reality anymore. Restricting many of the best players in the world from playing on your tour may not have the effect they hope it will.

Damn, I know the US Open has the toughest conditions but holy shit these greens are brutal.

Guys missing 2-4 ft putts all over the place.

Also pretty cool to see about 10-15 of the top 20 brand new names on tour.

Just let Tirico do the play by play.

Somebody explain this to me. I saw plenty of putts from the green with the flag still in the hole. I thought it was supposed to be pulled out when putting in the green.

It doesn't have to be. Most players do, though.

Great finish there. Gutted for Zalatoris coming so close again.

The rule was changed a few years ago. Before Covid.

PGA thought it would make the game more attractive to people. Less stuffy.

Covid also allowed many course to do a no touch pin.

Personally, I think it messes with the air. On slow putts, it can add pressure between the ball and the pin. Stopping the ball from going in. At least that is what happens when I play.
