2022 Professional golf thread

I've been trying to watch the PGA Tour but Trevor Immelman constantly eulogizing about Zak Johnson, the main attraction apparently, is not floating my boat. I'm defecting to LIV.

I've just done the same. The clock is counting down..............

I've put my last free bet tokens on a Majesticks win. Two of them under par but the old boys letting them down. ?

I didn't last very long with LIV either, ended up watching music videos on Youtube.

Ha ha. The golf is fine, the commentary is painful. They are trying too hard and need to pull it back.

Although I think 2 of them are American... where they describe stuff like the sun coming up each day as 'awesome'

Yes, I realise they may not be capable of pulling it back . Arlo Wight is the British commentator and he is very decent, based on his past career on the radio. He must be bewildered by the guff the others come out with. Too sycophantic, too 'awesome' all round.

Even Arlo wasn't great, but passable. Agree with what you said, the constant "isn't LIV wonderful?" stuff was irritating. Just talk about the golf.

Irish Open - quite a few sites ahead of the start were reporting Matt Fitzpatrick was playing. Had they all made a mistake or was there a late pull-out?

Over on the dark side ? - shame the timezone at Portland doesn't work out for those of us on BST, looking quite interesting

They got confused...it's Alex Fitz who was making his Pro debut..pretty sure Matt wasn't listed unless he pulled out after winning the USOpen

Surprised the current PGA Tour event which enters its final round today isn’t getting any traction on this forum from its die-hard defenders - after all it’s the premier tour with the absolute best competing against the best

NLU and Brandel’s Twitter have far more on LIV > PGA Tour event this week…not hard as they haven’t mentioned anything about it at all ?

Not this week it isnt because the "best of the best" are either in Ireland or Scotland preparing for the Scottish and The Open...
The "best of the best" don't want to be boarding a flight tonight to give them less time to get their Links game working.

There’s quite a few in Ireland, to be sure.

Only the players that haven’t sold themselves for blood money ? ?

Was at the Irish open on Thursday, very enjoyable

Followed Andy Sullivan and Marcus Armitage in their group for a few holes, some unreal banter going on with that pair together

Is this ET leaderboard right
Olesen isn't currently qualified for The Open field ?

That means winning the British Masters doesn't get you a spot!

Not every comp is detailed as an Open Qualfiying Comp it seems - each country will pick one as a comp that can be used as qualifying plus of course the Regional and Final Qualfiying

Very surprised.
Third at tonight's tractor classic is guaranteed a spot at St Andrews (maybe even lower) but win one of the ET premier events and the player can jog on

That maybe needs a rethink

Doesn't seem very linksy to me. Though The Irish Open doesn't either.
Great to see Grant Fox continuing to play well too.
