The GF was going for that Cameron - I was going for Joe dirt

I don't get the hate for guys taking guaranteed money and going to the LIV Tour.

Guys are getting BIG bucks that could take them years of winning to get that much.

I think 99.9% of you would do the same.

I don't care what they do. If they want to play 54-hole exhibition golf and get filthy rich, go for it. But, it's nothing more than the Saudi Circus League. The Saudis' will eventually get tired of losing billions per year (even though that's meaningless to them) when they realize it's doing nothing to change their image.

If it winds up collapsing or goes nowhere and these guys are left hanging so be it. Then that is the downside of their choice.

But like EVERYTHING today, people want to pick one side and vilify the other.

I love the PGA Tour but I'm curious to see new courses and new tournaments.

This may work or it could be like Arena Football.

BWillie can't putt.

My putting sucks but it only shows me the importance of putting.

I was just watching the Greg Norman 30 for 30 last night. Rory clearly isn't as big a choker as him, but there are some parallels there (he's never won the Masters, he had his own Masters collapse shooting an 80 with a four stroke lead on Sunday, a huge major drought of 8 years in the prime of his career, etc.). Now he's already got 4 majors which is a great career, but with all his talent, he should have had more by now.

Correct. And its dumb. Boring to watch. Why should it really be a skill? Just put circles around hole. Inside 6 feet, auto one putt. Outside of it 2 putt. No 3 putts for anyone! Think of how much faster golf would be.

I hit 16/18 GIR in my club championship. Shot 76. 38 putts. Just cuz I miss 3 footers. Rory, Sergio strike the golf ball great. I want ball strikers rewarded. Not Patrick Reeds or Brad Faxons. Oh cool, ur good at not missing from 5 feet. Who gives a shit. I wanna see Rory send the ball into the abyss or Morikawa stuff iron after iron.

Not a golfer but this sounds like a dumbass idea

I’m with Willie, I want ball striking more rewarded. My fave golfer Serge gave me 20 years of frustration watching him lose putt-putt contests

LOL it's one of many aspects of the game and it's always been the most important part of the game. If you can't get in the hole you suck.

Those knee knockers separate the men from the boys and chokers don't get to win because they're chokers.

You still get to see those things.

Maybe work on 3 foot putts so you aren't terrible at putting?
