Professional Golf 2024 & 2025

He's still a massive draw , no doubting that.

Really. In what way. Not played and now living his life in front of the media. Only a draw for me if he does it on the course. Not bothered in anything else.

 

[Bobthesock]

Not the biggest name. I would argue Rory has taken that mantle. He changed sport but his day has gone and the game moves forward

His day has gone and has been overtaken by guy who hasn't won a major for 11 years .
This forum cracks me up, like a bunch of k pop fans

3 LIV stars qualify for The Open (but Sergio Garcia suffers blow)

Three LIV Golf players qualified for The Open via the International Series event in Macau on Sunday, but there was agony for Sergio Garcia.

Misses the Open by missing a 3 foot putt

Have you managed to figure who won the Players yet ?

Yes, he won a playoff against a guy nobody heard of.
Of course he's a great player along with others. The obsession with him on here is ridiculous though.

So he won

Who says no one has heard of Spaun ?

Has won on the PGAT

And Rory is the number one European golfer right now

Already won twice this year

Sitting number 2 in the world

He is clearly going to be amongst the favourites when it comes to the majors

If course some anoraks will have heard of him, hardly a household name though.

I never said he didn't win, I said it's ridiculous to claim he's taken over tiger as the biggest name in golf.
If he won 2+ majors this year then maybe.

There are countless events won by the best in the world where they have beaten someone who isn’t a household name

Doesn’t mean the win is any different

when it comes players that are playing right now, he is prob the main draw within any event

Amongst the younger fans I'd say Bryson is probably the biggest draw.
The either Scottie or Rory.

If the bag cat is playing though then it's still him and probably always will be tbh.

Will Tiger play again???

Scottie, Bryson, Rory. Host of top players that attract the attention now.

BDC will be very much a marmite character still

Scheffler whilst is a brilliant player doesn’t seem to have the same “x factor” that others do

Rory may not have the same impact as Woods and don’t think anyone ever will

But when he plays the interest in the event significantly increases

When does this happen anymore?

Last week at the players

I meant Tiger. Rory will always move the needle when he plays and to some degree off the course. Look at the furore about his "divorce"

We were talking about Rory not words

When woods does appear on the screen he increases viewers more than any other golfer

Including the TGL

When Woods played with his son at tbe PNC the viewing figures increased by 147% - nearly 3 million watched in ( December 2024)

TGL is about all he can do these days and when will he play a tour event next? It is like tuning in and watching a car crash knowing he won't be fit enough or sharp enough to compete. It is a morbid fascination watching him try. A bit like Seve at the end. It may well get viewers but for the longer term it is about Rory and the others

 

[Fore Right]

none of this should be newsworthy but modern society shows it is

When it comes to golf - Woods is still the name , he is still the head turning

Playing golf wise, he is a has been now unfortunately.
However he was so good in the past that news he took a dump yesterday in the en suite rather than the main bathroom would be front page news with the golf media which is neither interesting or relevant.

There was a reason why LIV were willing to give him 700-800mil to join them because he provides the interest for millions still

Even when not playing he has scrutiny that no one else in the game can get near

I agree just wish it was for playing golf

I'm guessing nobody is a vegan then.

Mind you, Augusta National are probably running out of groups they can ban, so they may still get away with banning vegans, or only allowing them entry if they are with a responsible adult

Given the history of the club I'm sure they wouldn't mind all the DEI stuff and a return to the "good old days" that the current regime in the Whitehouse is trying to implement.
