Saw that. The story seems to be that LIV players have done a deal to become full time Challenge Tour players, with all previously planned LIV tournaments cancelled, the name LIV dropped, P Mickelson reimbursing the Saudi sovereign fund, no teams, no shotgun starts, and 4 rounds, all tournaments to be guaranteed a minimum prize fund of €250,000.

And Ogletree, steady away with a 69 which while it's only mid table, it'll have laid a few ghosts to rest for him after his original LIV appearance.
Agreed! Whether through resolution of injury or the backing provided by the Centurion outing, he's had some performances that confirm his earlier potential. Wade Ormsby's recent performance has been solid too. Perhaps the comparatively massive funding LIV provides better returns at the lower end provides better returns for talented but financially pressed players at the lower end than simply making already wealthy but declining stars! Danny Lee performing well again, but Lopez-Chacarra under pressure for the next rounds!

Well he's doing OK today - is he coming into form just in time to cause an Augusta upset?

I doubt it, but anything can happen in golf
Oi!! No mentioning of The Masters on this thread! There's a dedicated Masters thread already!

Pretty tight leader board right now, Brooks has seen his lead nibbled a little and they're queueing up behind him - this is far from a foregone conclusion, and as we know, the team element can swing rapido. Looking forward to the next few hours.

Not really. if you're from a Spanish speaking country, as the team all are, that's pretty much how you pronounce it. The devil is in the detail.

The Spanish word is torqueo which is a different pronunciation so if they are going to use the English word at least pronounce it properly.

Come on mate, the teams were named before the players joined all the teams, it's evolved into a team of Hispanics, and if you asked a Spanish speaking person to pronounce torque, they would say "tor-ku-eh"
To be fair, you're obviously watching, so Kudos to you for that,

Liv need their stars to step up and compete.
No disrespect to Howell III and Lee but having Brooks win this week going into Augusta was needed for the tour..
A healthy Brooks Koepka is a threat on any tour in the world.
PGAT wise Rory and Scottie are firing.
Roll on Augusta, one of the most special weeks in the golfing calendar. .

Several of their 'stars' simply weren't competitive at Orlando! Of team captains, 5 were 40th place and lower! DeChambeau and Smith were disappointingly mid table too. Koepka's win and Johnson's consistency indicate they are a class above the rest! Could all change at Augusta this weekend though! Can they handle the extra round - or even get past the 2nd one!

Form is temporary, Smith and others will be back to their best in time if injury isn't the reason.
Remember when Rory was going through his dip, it happens to the best of them, you cant play stellar every week no matter who you are.
