  1. Regarding the Rookie of the year award.. Erik Cole isn't really a real rookie, he is 34 years old, been a professional for a long time, not on PGA, but played well over 100 professional tournaments.. 🤔
    Of course Ludvig Åberg is the Rookie of the year, he won after only 11 starts, Cole has played 37, and zero wins.. 😏

  2. Also Xander and Patrick w/d for whatever reason. I think the big boys like Xander and Patrick would want a true off season. I am surprised he put himself in the field. This will be the first time he is truly walking all 72 holes. Patrick is right, we should have seen this coming.

    Not surpirsed Rory has stepped down from the policy board. What I think will be a big story next year Rory will be entering his 10th season of trying to compete the grandslam. I wonder if Rory is getting desperate with that.

    I think Paul Azinger getting the boot from NBC is the next step in wanting the golf coverage to be younger. Paul would be wrapping up what was 18 years of covering Golf as a commentator. I wouldnt be surprised if Smylie works that Hero World Challenge.

    Nicolai was a good winner for the DP World Tour Championship this week. Rory who won the Season back at the British Open was basically going through the emotions trying to save himself with this framework deal. It feels like Rory stepping down is him trying to save face.

  3. I don’t know why it was a surprise tiger would be back? I called this in July. It’s a perfect place to test his game against the best and be ready for PNC. He was ready to play last year at hero also for the first time but that pesky plantar fasciitis 😝.

    This will be awesome to see who gets the 3 peat first @ Hero ! Viktor or Tiger

  4. Patrick PLEASE please please get on there. Apply, put your hat in the ring! I’d love to see your mug on tv every week! I like your takes most times.

    Omg Patrick ycmu. I chanted VIK and Tommy’s Ryder chants in my living room, yesterday am also

  5. Let's not forget that everyone on this podcast also said "LIV is dead in the water". Sure, Rory is a giant hypocrite crybaby…but lets not forget that everyone on this podcast (well for sure, Rick, Kyle, Mark, and Coach) were just as annoyingly wrong with every single one of there LIV takes for about 2 years.
