We’re rolling into the first PGA Tour playoff this week and Rory Mroy is missing in action. You probably already know that, but why is he out? You could point to his tough showing in Tennessee’s sweltering summer heat or his own 2024 exclusive statement, I finished basically dead last there last year and only moved down one spot in the playoff standings. To most people, it adds up, but to Peter Malnati, it doesn’t. Melnati, a player director on the PGA Tour policy board, said in an exclusive interview with Golf Weeks Adam Shupac that he is very concerned that one of the top 70 players in the field is missing in action at Memphis. His concern, however, doesn’t make sense to Brendan Porath and Andy Johnson of Friday golf. In a recent episode, the two ridiculed the discussion surrounding this particular Mroy, one that has demanded a Rory Mroy rule. Porathth chimed in saying, “I would suggest the first 19 years of the FedEx Cup have damaged the credibility of the FedEx Cup, not Rory Mroy deciding to not go to Memphis one time.” Porat’s statement, however, follows after they mentioned Shupac’s ending quotes in the Malnati piece, which read, “It’s stuff such as Mroy skipping the first playoff event that damages the credibility of the FedEx Cup. Most importantly, Porath points out, these guys, Mroy, Sheffller, others, bring home the bacon for the Pepe Peters of the world. I I I don’t know what like this is insane. Again, his point stands, Mroy is a bankable golf star. As per reports, he has earned an extra $10 million for finishing second in the FedEx Cup standings and being in the Comcast Business Tour top 10 at the end of the regular season. So, saying that one Mroy absence can hurt the playoffs is insane as Porathth says. On the other hand, Mroy is set to play all over the world in the upcoming months. Australia, India, and more. So, Porathth chimes in. So, he’s playing like all over the world in the Q4. Growing the game if you want to use a cliche, but playing golf. And because he’s not in Memphis for 4 days, you know, the FedEx Cup has lost its legitimacy. And then they bring out Malnati’s aforementioned quote and poor quips. Pepe Peter’s not even in the field.
