Professional Golf 2024 & 2025

Up early so I thought. Why not give the Liv coverage another go.

How does anyone watch it for any length of time? They really need to take the less is sometimes more approach. The leaderboards and graphics are a complete mess and detract from the golf and there is far too much chopping about between cameras.

Here's a thought, maybe because everyone is different.
For me the Sunday coverage has been borderline too passive, but obviously focusing more on the leaders. TBF the caddy conversation with Howell on 13 was decent, talked him into the shorter club and hit to 5 ft.
Perhaps you are just accustomed to what you are used to and that's fine. Not everyone likes the same films, music, etc.

LIV Golf is a disruptor by design, its goal is to offer something different, not replicate the PGA Tour.

As with anything disruptive, some people will love it, and others won’t — because by nature, it breaks from tradition and offers a new experience.
 
Bryson seems to have sorted his irons out since Augusta going into the USPGA.

Important for his confidence to get a win before heading to Quail Hollow.
 
I can't always align with how he goes about things, but he is 'box office'.
Steamroller the putt in on 17, could have been 8ft long if didn't drop.
Two shot lead on 18th tee, doesn't nudge it down, instead hits 360 into the hazard boundary, dry but with side Hill lie. Birdie.

Poulter finally finishes in points position, was T7 until dumping it in the water near the end. T13.
 

Now call me a problem-solving genius but when playing for millions of dollars, would it not be worth spending $100 on a rangefinder that simply doesn't have any of the forbidden features - therefore removing this risk.

Also, call me a business genius but ... I get it's only 3 weeks in, but bringing out a "competition-spec" rangefinder seems an absolute winner as it essentially means removing features from the product but you could charge a premium price - at least until people catch on :D :D

The slope rule for rangefinders needs to go in the bin.

I guarantee 1000's of people are using it in competitions, intentionally or not.
 
Watched a little LIV before heading up to Darlington to drop the youth off, looked like Charles Howell had a real go at it in that final round, but got to be pleased to see the current needle mover take the win.

Transfer window open. Grace is out for the rest of the season, let's see what moves are made to strengthen the teams, if any.
 
Yeah I know you can’t use it,just don’t know why 🤷‍♂️
From Rule 4.3, the part that is in bold font. Removing that part could lead to players using levels on putting greens.

a. Allowed and Prohibited Uses of Equipment​


A player may use equipment to help them play during a round, except that a player must not create a potential advantage by:
  • Using equipment (other than a club or a ball) that artificially eliminates or reduces the need for a skill or judgment that is essential to the challenge of the game, or
  • using equipment (including a club or a ball) in an abnormal way in making a stroke. “Abnormal way” means a way that is fundamentally different than its intended use and is not normally recognized as part of playing the game.
This Rule does not affect the application of any other Rule that limits actions a player is allowed to take with a club, ball or other equipment (such as setting down a club or other object to help the player in aiming, see Rule 10.2b(3)).
