The stipend for the DPWT is necessary, given the tour goes to Australia, India, South Africa, Europe, Dubai, etc. and is offset against winnings rather than in addition to. I think it's in dollars as well but if you, for example, were lucky enough to play 15 t0 20 events, but miss the cut in...
I personally wouldn't change anything. I want to see some players hit 350+, I like watching players in full control of their irons, short game wizardry and whilst not my favorite aspect, unless greens are lightning fast, appreciate that being able to putt great is a skill that not all possess...
Both parties were asked questions in interviews - no issue with either response, both can be prickly in their own way - McIlroy is more than a bit moody, Westwood more than a bit snidey & drole.
Hall & Penge would be good picks. Hall is ready to be thrown in and partner in any format; Penge is an excellent rookie to bring along, get a taste of the environment and used for minimal sessions - unless he impresses in the get-togethers - and will set him up well moving forward. Straka is...
Spent a lot of time at The Open and around Portrush last week and weekend. Scottie enjoying time away from the course was extremely generous with his time with fans who happened to be the same places & coffee shops. Rory did not play that freely, but the eagle roar on Saturday carried...
From where Tommy was on the 18th after his drive, he really followed it up with 3 quite poor shots. It was a great opportunity but hopefully there'll be others - as others have said, he is a class act.
Seem to be in the minority here but did not enjoy that at all, even the last few hours had enough about it to diminish how 'exciting' it all became. I watch golf to see the best golfers in the world display their skills; watching them play like my fourball on a Saturday when in the rough is not...
If they don't renew, going back to the PGAT surely means they were right in the first place to take the money? Very little consequence. Surely LIV would then go to Xander, Tommy, Min Woo etc., with a bucketload of cash, a 3 year contract, and say at the end you can go 'back'. But I don't see...
Unlikely Rory wins back to back Majors after taking so long between the previous one & the Masters, although the hype would ramp up for the season 'slam and would be good for golf.
Fancy Lowry - conditions could suit and an attitude adjustment with the press might help. B'fun'DC a good shout...
WWE's 'MIZ' popped up in the Youtube feed - already has a lot of subscribers. Feels like nearly everyone is doing some golf related content....., is golf now fashionable?
Appreciate the intended result of the camera was achieved, having exposed the cheat(s), but am slightly uncomfortable at the thought that individual members can take it upon themselves to record all members, and my particular concern being Juniors, and having access to that footage. We sign...
Pace of Play at the Masters.... pretty sure I heard Rose say in an interview that his group had been put on the clock on Sunday. He was on screen a lot over the 4 days, and he did take a painfully long time over some shots (particularly tee) as he rehearsed that crouching tiger hidden golf...
