Best take I've seen so far is that it a deliberate 'leak' to get attention back & get people talking / speculating about LIV just in time for Mexico. Don't think it's that, but that would be funny (ish).
Rumours are flying across social media, ranging from a deal with the DPWT to overnight closure and a lot in between. The Gulf situation may well be impacting things, but the same rumours in relation to their other projects are not flying around social media so can't be exclusively that...
Would be interesting to see how much more difficult the last stretch of holes played in the afternoon compared to the morning. A lot of heavily tipped players struggled at various points (not just LIV players), assuming similar scores today the cut line could be significantly over par (+3...
Brooks is probably the least interesting of the big guns that could potentially have made this move, his value is the fact is he's a 5 time Major champion; his value to the PGAT is the same as his value when he moved to LIV - getting one over the other with a Major winner. But, he was never...

Open. Fleetwood
Emerging: McKibbin wins on LIV, has a top 10 Masters
Reinvigorated: Spieth & Pepperell & Theegala
Career stall: Koepka - no mans land; DPWT won't cut it.
Disappear act: (not tiger): Bhatia (Doesn't apply in every case, but like...
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...
