Cameron Young is so close to that first win. Same for Zalatoris. Cantlay is class of field on paper and Troy Merritt has always played well here. Putting combos of Zalatoris, Cam Young, Cam Davis, Merritt....and another crack at the kid Cole Hammer on my lineups this week. For those that do FD....Nate Lashley is a good cheap play as well with great course history. Zalatoris is due and better win. Cantlay will be right there. Cam Young will have an open hang over and not play great. I have a feeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Hearing Bubba Watson will be named a team Captain this week but wont play until 2023 due to injury. Norman going after past Masters winners, wonder why? Wink. That would be 6 if it pans out. With 2 more by years end rumored. If you have a min. go to youtube and listen to Charles Barkley from 3 days ago, on Dan Patrick show.

Wonder how many of those will be stateside? If too many are in the U.S. it will hurt participation in some of the international events.

I'm surprised they didnt make them split the 14 from U.S to International. Maybe they did and we just dont know it yet. I cant get any info on the other 2 players that will be added this week yet. Its pretty quite right now. Could be a couple of big names. This answers the question about the guys that are being replaced right now. Looks like there will be plenty of events for them to play. 10 events for some will get them over a million for last. 25 events makes it more shocking Norman is turning away top 50 players for 200 ranked guys. You would think he would want all he could take from the PGA Tour to put out a better product. I cant see many top 50 guys wanting to qualify for 4 spots. I think the Captains building their teams will play a big role on bring in top players. Not sure I would want to take that on, telling a guy you are out, good luck on finding a place to play.

Indykev Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Davis Love III says he could see players coming together to ‘boycott’ a major if governing bodies do not ban LIV golfers from competing in them. Here is the dumbest thing ever said by a tour player. I knew Davis was stupid but not this stupid. LIV players have won 21 of the last 50 majors, half of last years PGA Tour bonus winners now are with LIV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indykev Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 @Love3d confessed that he spoke with the players who were classified for the @presidentscup and had planned to make the jump.

How do we make the courses tougher for today's players? My very amateur opinion. Firm greens, narrow fairways, and thick roughs. Also...there are several stops on the tour that might need to be evaluated again. Almost like Crooked Stick here in town. I remember Tiger saying if you didn't shoot 66 you were getting lapped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they do dumb stuff like give up Doral because Trump bought it. Hell even all the TPC's they play are outdated. Even The Players.

Thick rough doesnt bother these players. It's the flier rough that gets them pulling their hair out. Most courses they play they wont let the tour stress the course out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that is probably forgotten now by most sports fans because what happens at LIV Golf events really doesn't matter. There is no meaning to any of it. They are watered down exhibitions played over three days with no cut and no reason to care who lifts a trophy on the final day. There is no spark. There is no history. There is nothing that comes even remotely close to connecting fans with the players because how is one supposed to care at all about some golfer winning more money for their bank account? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just creating division, gaining control,etc.....offering $800M to a guy they know can only play a few rounds a year? Haha....that's just a move to try and gain control. Pure and simple. LIV will be fine. The $/ego there is so huge they won't ever stop doing their side. It's just something I'll never choose to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
