Professional Golf 2024 & 2025

Whilst I like watching him play golf, Rory continues to come across as such an odd character.
I really can't imagine wanting to be in the same team room as him. What business is it of his. Used to think he was just media naive, but maybe being the source of so much click bait is intentional - perhaps learned behaviour from the PIP years.
Next USA team must be loving it.

Yeah I can see the whole marquee thing (but for telly specifically it doesn't matter all that much if player B is on the other side of the fairway or a hole behind) but i think there has to be limits. I mean he plays a minimum of two rounds at most DPWT tournaments with 1 &/or 2 ppl he's way more than totally at ease with.
It's like us getting to pick our PP's for day 1 of club champs, it would never be the default but the Tour are affording him that benefit more often than not

Its been happening for years and it’s because of telly as opposed to trying to make some pros more comfortable - they know they will be able to concentrate the coverage and they know they will prob get more interaction

Just explain this to me like I'm 5 please... Why has this debate about Rahm & Hatton needing to pay fines ignited again? They literally just played in a Ryder Cup a few months ago.

I can understand that in the smaller tournaments as such

But not in majors

Imo that should always be as random as you can get , they used to do it very well for The Open

When did they stop doing a random draw for the Open?

Last couple of years that have been putting people in marquee groups

They are currently being allowed to play on the DPT under appeal of the fines , same way as previous people did

Once the appeal has been sorted then they will more than likely have a choice - keep membership and pay the fines or resign

While Rory and Ryder cup are mentioned (& I’m sure it isn’t Rory’s doing) Another ‘matey’ group for him for first two days this week

How does he get paired up with his ryder cup bessie mates so often in DPWT events and could it ever creep into him receiving a sporting advantage

I totally agree. Playing with your best friend every tournament has to be an advantage. The same goes for Scheffler and Burns.

Sporting meritocracy in action

Is he mates with Hatton? Can never tell when he's out there saying him and Rahm should be paying fines etc this week. Will Hatton have a word and tell him to wind it in?

Hattons literally replied in a post practice interview. He was very calm and just said it’s with the lawyers I’ve got nothing to add. He added I’ve been plying my golf so not checked my phone to see Rory comments but I’ve nothing to say.

This doesn't sound like the Tyrell we all know. Maybe he's spent the offseason doing anger management, meditation, mindfulness, Tai Chi and/or weed. Major wins ahead!!
