Lol. if it wasn't for tv viewers he wouldn't have a job. Pro golf exists for no other reason.

No, pro golf exists to identify the best golfers and allow people to compete in the sport at the highest possible level competitively.

The money wouldnt be as good if not for the viewers and sponsors sure, still doesnt make entertaining the viewer his job ahead of the golf
 
For sure, but expect what you do, and how you behave, to be broadcast.
If you think your sponsors might be upset, and what you do might damage your image, don't do it.

I'll agree to differ on this.
Its distracting us from the point that he behaved like an a**e!!
 
Looks like BDC is going to win. Can't fault his golf this week, although I think Wolff threw it away in the first few holes today. A learning experience for him.
 
Stunning birdie birdie birdie finish, the drive up the last is obscene!

Too good and will continue to be on this sort of course, hes playing a different game to most of them now, be interesting to see where this heads

Only the 2nd time Wolff has really contended (winning last time) and came back well after a poor start today, he will certainly win again on tour imo
 
Good Brit showing this week.
Hatton has been in great form these last few weeks. Not sure why, but he doesn't feel like a major winner to me. Would love to be wrong and not really sure what his game lacks.

Better start eating then...
Just noticed the BDC had the best round of the day. Just as some golfers don't seem to win when they should, he seems really good at getting over the line. It's definitely a skill.
(apologies if sky have mentioned this, I don't have sound on to protect the sensibilities of others).

Yep. I remember that one..
...particularly I remember how gracious he was in defeat...!!
I think he's better than average. I've no stats to throw up, but he just seems to win a lot.
One thing lacking is much form in majors. Not sure if that's just a curiosity or if there's something lacking in his game.

If he now knuckles down and sorts out his wedge play like DJ did he'll be very hard to beat.

I think once he settles on the final version of his new self, then he will get more consistent especially with distance control, must be hard to stay consistent at that end of the bag when most of your training has been about adding speed to your driver swing

Despite leaving a few short today he's a very good putter now too - majors are a different thing though, he's won these type of tournaments before - I doubt he made the bulking up changes to win a less than stellar field event. I don't know Harding Park at all but 'experts' are saying it's perfect for him.

Yep majors the obvious next step, think I read that in 14 starts hes not had a top 10! That has to change fast! USPGA course should suit and I do wonder if autumn at Augusta may play into his hands to some degree albeit distance control is critical round there and he may be on the wrong side a few times.

Er no.

Professional golf is entertainment. That's why it exists.

If it was about identifying the best golfer they would all still be amateurs.
