Presidents cup is not a tour event.

Meanwhile in real golf (amateur golf) English County Finals start tomorrow.

Go Glos!!

The same as it is every year

Yup good win in a tight finish vs Surrey, odd to have it at Stover but apparently the front 9 has been totally redesigned.
Have spent a lot of time caddying for Glos Ladies when they were regularly in the finals, winning it a few times too a few years ago back when it was over 5 days - a gruelling week.

So with Rahm playing I presume this goes someway towards him getting picked in European team for ryder cup.

He'll get picked, I think he's already scheduled in the events he needs to be eligible to be honest. Not a bad start for him today, on the back of the new arrival to the family.

At this moment he is eligible to play but there is the appeal ( which is allowing him to play ) and if as with the others he loses he will need to pay his fines to be able to play further events etc etc etc

Apparently the appeal won’t be heard until after the RC - another fudge.

And he'll just pay the fines - so he'll be playing.

There are very few people now who are holding off against the unification of golf back under one umbrella, and they don't hold a position of ongoing strength.

I suspect Rahm will have to pay a nominal fine as way of recognising he joined a 'rival tour', but it won't be of much significance other than a box ticking exercise.

Edit - just seen the post above - another reason Rahm will be in New York next year..

Presidents Cup nearing end of 1st day... All 5 games up for grabs..

Last time they had the appeal done by April the next year , guess will seen

Nothing is guaranteed, he may not get enough points to qualify, Donald may not pick him long way to go for anything and that includes any “unification”

True, although I'd happily back my opinions over yours on how things will unfold, with all due respect of course.

There is one way of looking at it - Rahm , Hatton etc clearly didn’t value the Ryder Cup that highly and Donald may well prefer to look at players more committed to the Ryder Cup and those showing support to the Tour

But will find out in 12 months


Back to the Presidents Cup


Going to be a whitewash this morning , it’s looking like the standard Presidents Cup of US steamroll to make they feel better

 

[IanM]

The commentary is rendering the Prez Cup unwatchable.

The only break from sickly Americans is the wally McGinley

 

[abjectplop]

Seems a bit silly that the international team host the Presidents Cup in Canada....as close as you can get to a home tie for USA!

Think it’s on some sort of rota with Aus , SA and South Korea ( where it seems most of the players comes from )
