The Golf Thread

[Shaggy]

Not by Christmas imo but yeah sooner rather than later. Grim.

[Pablo]

Yeah probably not, but it does feel like it's incoming. He is definitely distancing himself from the PGA, and his tone has changed as you alluded to in that interview above. It's coming fairly soon I reckon, wouldn't surpise me if we hear rumours soon at least.

I think the failure of the LIV/PGA merger was the end of things. Another cock up by the PGA. That merge was never going to be approved.

I think it unsettled Rahm and others and now they think they may as well take the money and run?

I can't think of another sport that has been so fundamentally ruined as golf is being right now.

[Liverpool]

I think LiV probably already have Scottie and 2-3 other big names they can't go for Rory so quickly as well

Tbf to Rory the PGA have been utter ****e and he's tried his best to fight this. If he switches I'd have less of a problem than the immediate sell outs.

The structure of golf makes it easier for a hostile takeover, no need to buy a load of teams. Just weaken the main governing body, the prize money and sponsorship situation with the pga means they have no choice but to fold at some point

That's mental that he seemed totally unaware that he is in the firing line.

The scream at the end

[Jas]

Saw a video yesterday from a Captain's drive-in at Chislehurst GC apparently, new capatain totally ****zed a driver off the tee straight into someone videoing it and nearly took their head off!! Unfortunately I can't upload the video.

LIV has ****ed golf to the stage where I barely watch the Masters over the weekend….. oh and Scheffler won!

[Buzzo]

Yeah same, and I have a months SKY subscription.

It just was not interesting at all.

[Pablo]

To be fair that one was of the most boring Masters I can remember. Scheffler is amazing, and it's not his fault but he's so good he's boring.

[Irishnev]

McIlroy never winning another major - he absolutely choked on the last 3 holes last night. Two missed putts - 3 and 5 feet

Edit…. it was worse

“ Four birdies in the space of five holes from the ninth had given McIlroy a two-shot lead in pursuit of a fifth major title and first since 2014, only for the world number three to bogey three of the last four holes.

That devastating run included missed par putts of two feet, six inches and three feet, nine inches on the 16th and 18th respectively “

Billion Pound Bottler!

Watched highlights of the Scottish Open - that Bob McIntyre looks a proper player. Buzzo, looks like ye have a goodun coming through there

[Jas]

Tough old conditions at Troon, currently only 2 holes playing below par.
