Has Dunlap been linked to Rahm's team yet?

Nah they are looking at 10th ranked Suratt
The ones above him are looking at the two main tours - the likes of Lamprecht , Thorbjornson
The good thing about some players jumping to LIV is it opens up gaps for the next generation to come through -bright future

Dunlap’s win is great to see, but as far as pro golf tournaments go, the Amex is a bit Mickey Mouse - and clearly the PGAT doesn’t have the quality it once had.
That’s the facts of where we are right now in pro golf.

Are you purposely on the wind up?
They have lost a handful of top talent but the PGAT is still more stacked with talent than any tour. Some of the big names were playing on the DPWT this week, others taking a rest.
When you have pretty much a tournament per week, some events are going to have less top players than others. Its not like the kid won "The Players"

You do know the first 3 days are a pro am right?
If the Amex is a bit Mickey Mouse. What does that make LiV events?

Well when we have amateurs and rank outsiders winning on LIV, as has happened on the PGAT so far this year, I might be able to answer the question.

For someone like Rahm the GDP of a small country can buy him cause he has very little to loose (other than his soul). For Hatton or Fleetwood, who don't have long exemptions, going to LIV means missing to majors. It's what price you put on that.

I think you need to go check the list of players to win a LiV event before making comments like that!

Amex had
20 of the world top 50
The current US Open champion
Plus the world 1 and 3 others from the top 10
Major winners from 2022
156 players in the field
It’s far from Mickey Mouse
If it’s then that’s every single LiV event is even worse with half the field very much not at a high standard
The winners on LIV isn’t a list of hall of famers
Chacarra ?!
Lee
HV3
Howell

The Amex had a pretty decent field given how awful the event is.

You'd have a hard time arguing that Eugenio Chacarra and Danny Lee were not rank outsiders.

apparantly they want the dude who wears a skirt on their team to grow the game

Last amateur to win a PGA Tour event was a guy called Phil Mickelson in 1991. At the time he was the reigning US Amateur Champion. A similar resume to Nick Dunlap. Mickelson turned out to be a pretty decent golfer. Amateur doesn't always mean 'crap'.

This is quite a cool feature that LIV are doing at Las Vegas - the fans get to vote on which captains get to play together - I expect a Brooks / Bryson vote will be pretty popular.

You will all be glad to hear that we (the global investment industry - including your pension funds) leant the $700bn PIF another $5bn yesterday across 3 bond tranches - maybe that is earmarked to buy Rory!!

A look back at 2023 before 2024 begins.
