Lay up and treat it like a par 4

Liv Golf suddenly realising their most important signing was Bryson Dechambeau...... #Entertainer

Scottie is the best player in the world but dull as dishwater when it comes to charisma....

TV companies want entertainment/characters and are lapping up his content on the screen also the majors are absolutely loving having BDC doing his thing..

He is very much on a PR drive right now but can’t to be careful when it comes to balance to not go overboard and make it look staged

Tv companies won’t be dishing out contracts based on it though

I don’t get all the charisma stuff with golf. It’s essentially a boring game about getting a ball around a course in the fewest shots.
I don’t care who shows emotion, I only care about watching good golf.
Bryson is playing good golf so I am enjoying watching him. Sheffler has been playing the best golf this year so he’s been best to watch.
Mickleson is seen as a “great entertainer” on the course, but if he’s shooting high scores I don’t want to see any of it.

It’s straight from the Phil Mickleson school of PR. Maybe it’s not, but it feels a bit contrived.

I think LiV drives its players to be more extroverted as they are pretty much a travelling circus. They need to get eyes on them and additional interviews/social media/antics will grab the eyeballs of the younger generation.

I did enjoy Bryson sitting along the 15th having an interview while play was going on. He came across very well.

There were some great insights there. Until the nonsense about naming his clubs.

Apologies for posting a link to something that had swearing, and putting a warning with it too. I hope no one is too upset, but let me know if you are and I will happily pay for your counselling.

The most popular European golfer of all time must be Seve, yet Faldo won more majors and overall, was probably the better golfer.

I think how people play and how they act does a play a big part.

Snooker is another example of this - Hendry was a better player than Jimmy White, but everyone other than Hendry's parents preferred Jimmy. Same with Steve Davis and Alex Higgins.

I’m guessing it was the Poulter one ?

It does show the person he is though

I’d take the winner over than the “entertainer”

Ask a Spanish golfer who Faldo is and most wouldn’t have a clue. Ask them who Seve is/was and some will even do the fist pump.

 

[Mel Smooth]

Blimey. The LIV thread is getting some traction from the people who dont like LIV today.

 

[Ye Olde Boomer]

I stopped following pro golf when Anika Sorenstam retired.
Looks like I've been missing quite the drama.

Yeah, Seve quite rightfully has a much stronger legacy than Faldo..

Yoo can often sense his presence when you are playing one of his courses over there in Spain.

If I'm betting on him, yes. Otherwise, I'd rather be entertained. Eg, would you rather watch a Ryder Cup team with Seve or Faldo... I think most would go with Seve.

I’d take the one that wins

Hardly surprising that a Spaniard would know his own countryman better, is it?

You miss the point. How many British golfers don’t know Seve?
