Professional Golf 2024 & 2025

Whether Wesley is a PGAT player or a YouTuber is one question, but for the PGAT to ban him and then invite Grant to an event seems a really strange move.

Does the grant bloke have a tour card ?

Laurie Canter wasn't a PGA Tour member when he actually played on LIV, not just in a sideshow event, but they banned him for 12 months anyway.

He is a professional golfer isn’t he ?

I believe Grant isn’t and is just a “influencer”

Is it the same comparison

Canter was banned under the same rules as all the other professional golfers who played on LIV

Ogletree was the same.

The PGAT will ban anybody from their events if they play in a LIV event, regardless of whether they are Tour members or not.

The Grant invite has made their policies look retarded

Is Grant a professional tour golfer ?

He doesn’t.

Whilst I think it would be a stretch to ban Wes for playing in the duels (it’s not a real event is it), I wouldn’t complain too much about it.

Equally, giving Grant an invite to a tour event….no real issue here.

But the two combined just strikes me as a bit double standards. Whilst Grant isn’t exactly in bed with LiV directly, he is pretty much in bed with Mickelson who is pretty scathing of the PGAT currently and actually a LiV player.

Let’s be real, the PGAT are inviting Grant because he is the hottest ticket outside of pro golf currently.

I suspect if Bryan was just an influencer then he prob wouldn’t be banned but he has been playing on PGAT though

I guess Grant isn’t a pro golfer and has no affiliation to any tour etc

When did Wes last play a tour event?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

When did Wes last play a tour event?

Looks like March - the Puerto Rico Open and before that the Farmers

So looks like he is an active playing member of the tour in some capacity

 

[WorldHandicapSystem]

Is he a you tube golfer or a PGAT golfer ?

Why was he playing in a LIV event if he is a PGAT player when he knows they need releases and players are suspended ?

He wouldn’t want a tour to own the rights to his YouTube would he?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

He wouldn’t want a tour to own the rights to his YouTube would he?

I guess that’s why this Grant bloke doesn’t get associated with any tour so that he can own his own vids etc ?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Decent round from Thomas

See there isn’t a cut at the Heritage this week.

Is it because it’s one of those signature events or whatever they are called ?

I’m not sure, just heard it on the commentary, looks like a decent field as well.

Yeah just had a look - it’s one of those elevated events with only the top 72 playing so no cut

 

[SatchFan]

There are eight Signature PGA events this season, five of which have no cut, just like LIV

Also just like the WGCs 20 odd years ago and the fed ex playoffs and the R2D final etc etc

 

[Depreston]

Matt Wallace playing well will make the cut in this weeks PGA tour event no issue by looks of things

Danny willet is looking tight though

Cam Young struggles continue
