Not sure but there’s quite a few at around or just over 6ft 1” who are quite handy (Michelle Wie, Lexi, Anna Nordquist from a quick Google).

It’s inline with the stance that other sports have taken and it well overdue ,rugby was the first (I think) to take the stance and I think others will follow.

I notice the article mentions Hailey Davidson, what about the winnings he had earned, the cuts missed by others… this is a big can of worms.

I agree with the LPGA decision, but there’s no need for you to misgender someone to score a cheap point.

They’re playing proper golf this week - 72 holes with a cut and everyfink.

Not like the Mickey Mouse affair over on the PGAT ;-)
Wow! Herein lies the problem I have with the LIV tour and their fans. In order to shine, they have to try to extinguish the PGATs flame.

LOL! These inflammatory comments was totally unnecessary if the product was as good as you think it is. I won't dignify this comment with a response because everyone knows that LIVers have thin skin.😂

It speaks of two things.

One, its indicative of LIV's own crisis of confidence and identity, that it still sees itself only relative to the PGAT and not on any merits of own, as indicated by the regular sniping by its acolytes on anything PGAT, from commissioner, field quality and depth, finances, or other. Even though it leaves itself open to rebuttals returned with interest.

Two, the failure of LIV in a purely sporting context is very evident if one strips away the peripheral. The now very tired speculation and 'leaks' routine on recruits that do not materialise, the above PGAT tour manufactured rivalry, the claiming of even Dechambeau's youtube content (good as they are) as part of the LIV ecosystem, and even filmsiest threads or tweets on such as team changes and fantasy league bants, expose how little real golf there is at the core of the endeavor.

I absolutely agree. That being said, I look forward to seeing Scottie Scheffler crush all PGAT records in 2025 and see who will step up to challenge him.

When local course was used for ET event two years ago the guy (from SA) who ‘maps’ the courses & produce the official players course guide, took a full week to do it
I saw him at the club yesterday and I said to him they haven’t changed anything (no moved bunkers, no remodelled greens, no new tees etc etc) so wont you just use the one you did before?

He said ‘don’t you believe it, look here; the last guide I did has the edge of 1st cut rough at 14m to left of 2nd green, but today its actually 13m!

The devils in the detail 🤪
