Professional Golf

I start every year with a little bit of fear that this will be the year that age catches up with Rose (although if it ever does he can spend a minimum of 2 years being the Ryder Cup captain).
Glad to see it's not this year, so far!

In other news, I posted somewhere else about active make-the-cut streaks and that Schauffele rather than Scheffler held the current active record. Obviously that jinxed him as that's over now :D. Do hope he has a better season actually - he's in danger of being yet another who has 18 months of brilliance then recedes back into the pool of middle-rank pro's, and he seems a modest and likeable guy.
 
Middle forties, and a round like that. Justin Rose….. Such a class act in many ways
I really enjoyed watching his round last night.

He’s really looking after his body, must spend a lot of time working out. Still getting it out there with 178mph ball speed with the driver yesterday.

He’ll stop being competitive when his speed drops off.
 
Also with Sergio, although not much of a fan of him or when he opens his mouth these days, still love seeing him swing it.
Loved him for years when young and first getting into the game
 
Personally, I tend to watch based on the tournament rather than due to an individual. I will certainly avoid a day 4 if certain golfers are going to be shown a lot, Cantlay is an obvious one although other snails are equally on the ignore list.

I'm more inclined to watch if my favoured golfers are playing, certainly, although I won't turn on just to watch a specific player on day 1.

Sensible answer
 
Great news. The DPWT has some terrific venues and the production knocks the PGAT’s cheese fest into a cocked hat.
If we’re going to see a lot of LIV players adding to the DPWT fields, then it’s gonna be a really strong year for the(as was) European Tour. 👍


Will be interesting to see what events they dictate players must play

also wonder if some others will take up ET membership

A stronger ET would be a dream
 
Wouldn’t surprise me if they are key to it

It’s a smart move from ET , makes them the first choice if any player is looking to leave

Guess they won’t be able to play in the Scottish though ?
One way of looking at the Scottish "Open" is :-

If it's a PGAT event that lets a few DPWT players play - then they won't

If it's a DPWT event that lets a few PGAT players play - then they could

Yeah, know where my money is...😉

Well it’s essentially a ET event that’s co sanctioned so they should be able to play but think there has been a Liv event at the same time previously

The PIF and LIV are quite clear they want to develop golf globally. The DPWT have some of the core of that structure with the events/courses they already play.

I've probably said this before but the DPWT has got a great opportunity here as long as they are able to stand firm against the PGAT and see the possibilities that are opening up.
