Professional Golf 2024 & 2025

Looks like Scheffler has run away with it, 5 ahead with 6 to play.
Just caught up with the final round... Scheffler was quality... If he keeps improving with the new putter it's hard to see anyone keeping up with him... Pity Shane started so badly but good to see him getting back to level par.. Rory had a mare... Roll on Sawgrass. Then bring on the Masters.. Some great golf viewing coming up..
 
Shame Lydia Ko couldn't get the one more win she needs to get into Hall of Fame, I'm sure it won't be long
(although a part of me fears she'll retire when she gets it done, can only hope its not the case)
 
Just seen Antony Kim has said he will play next week's Asia tour

Good to see him able to return to professional golf

Is there anything more meaningless in pro golf than The Hall of Fame? Surely your record says it all.

Yeah you'd think so but apparently not. Its a tough 'club' to get into on 'wins' merit

And for something more meaningless in pro golf..... i submit the pgat PIP winners for your consideration :p
 

Not sure if discussed, believe this was on the Saturday?

I would say that getting a wedge out, properly patting the grass down, then switching back to a full shot is completely taking the mick out of the spirit of the game… regardless of whether the rules allow it or not.

I’d almost be tempted to say, once you’ve addressed the ball with a club, you shouldn’t be allowed to change it. That would avoid this (increasingly common) scenario where pros grab a 3 wood, hybrid, wedge, etc and go through a number of clubs improving the lie, then somehow the ball ends up coming flying out of the thick rough with a long iron.

There is no chance Clark was ever thinking about hitting the wedge, especially given he was literally pointing clubhead and stance into the pond.

It’s another “wouldn’t get away with it with your playing partners in a weekly stableford” situation

Jon Rahm got penalised for something very similar (although he actually did use the same club to play the shot) I believe..

Most people would agree that Wyndham has broken the rules there and should have been penalised.,
 
Okay, that's dodgy :oops:. If you want to test the grass do so away from the ball.

These things get glossed over in golf though, commentators will always say how they trust a player if the player states they are suitably outraged by the claim of improving their lie etc. Not a good look.
 
A lot of the top guys are showing some form already this year, Scottie put on a show yesterday!

If he putts like he did last week all season he will bag himself another major for sure!
