Yes! These two clowns are an embarrassment.
Rahm's season is useless and he's done nothing but he did win the meaningless Golf Super Bowl. He might as well compete in Club Championships across the Country he's on that level at LIV.
Jon Rahm? I thought he retired. Haven't heard from him in a while.
Wa$ Rahm'$ $ea$on a $ucce$$? $ure.
Was it historically important? Nope – just a money grab.
I saw the low attendance at the LIV circus
The Solheim Cup was cool. But the LPGA needs to figure out how to add a team event that includes the players from Asia and Oceania. Couldn't help thinking how either of the teams last weekend would have matched up against a team with Lydia Ko, Min-Jee Lee, Ayaka Furue, Ruoning Yin, Attaya Thitikul, Jin-Young Ko and the rest of the top players from that part of the world.
Was the problem at the Solheim really worse than the mess at day 2 of the PGA?
And I'd say that Megan Khang was the real alpha over the Solheim, including the 6 and 5 win in singles. Nelly was good in the pairs, but did her disappearing act in the singles.
Who?
John Rahm went from I never got into playing golf for the money to completely turning his back on the PGA and Dp World Tour. Refuses to pay fines to the DP world tour but wants to play in their tournaments for Ryder Cup points. He’s everything he said he wasn’t. Total sellout.
Great show guys! Glad to see Rahm get back to form recently. Really enjoyed the Liv individual championship event. Thank you for covering.
dumb f question
There’s no need for any contrived “push back.” Abandon this gimmick. Simply be real, real, real.
LIV is ghetto. Those with any nobility of soul are repelled by it.
Was the crowd control crew diverse? Wherever there’s diversity, there’s incompetence and chaos.
John Who ?
The President's Cup isn't likely to be a real test for team and pairing selections. The international team has struggled enough in this competition that the captain probably has to be a complete fail to lose. But if they stick to the old ways in the Ryder Cup, they will get their butts handed to them again.
Is John Rahm still playing golf? I haven't seen him since he left the PGA.
Funny thing about Stacey’s analytics is that the US team had almost flawless chemistry.
Hatton was in the mix. LIv was clearly second if not first this week. The various scenarios were constant and clear and entertaining.
Rahm is happy and clearly one of the best in the world… but this pregnancy is clearly on his mind; which has cost him recently; but not yesterday.
Bubba should be back. IMHo. But a group of solid gamers will be left out, many in heartbreaking fashion. Some will be in the yellow zone and not come back.
Over time LIv contracts will be more transparent. We’re still kinda in this era where some secrecy is needed. But LIv is transparent with suspensions.
Obviously Ak was one of the worst on Liv but got better. It was a positive season. He should also be back. Imho. He needs a productive offseason. That’s for sure.
If LIv isn’t preparing rahm to finish the job what’s the DP and pga tour doing for Rory ?
I’m about to fire up the old dvr to watch Napa so I’ll leave it there.
But Great show guys. Much appreciate these run downs and your efforts to be fair.
Wow, the jealousy displayed by the PGA Tour inbreds, while pathetic, it is funny.😂
LIV Golf is here to stay! Cry harder, losers.
Depends how you look at it. Financially he's laughing all the way to the bank. He didn't win anything against a quality field though. Winning an exhibition golf tournament doesn't impress me.
Rory, as a fellow Northern Irishman, so sad, but almost inevitable!
Rahm lot of money, has won on harder courses, but in majors disappointed. More thumbs up than down, looked like a bad year earlier this year.
Great pod.
AK is worth the risk. He improved alot throughout the year. In my opinion he needs to play overseas during the offseason and continue to make strides to play on LIV next year…
If McIlroy is serious about winning more majors, he needs to take a hard look at his putting. It has held him back for years; he has had rounds that were good but disaster always seems to be lurking. Scheffler decided to change things and took it seriously. We'll if McIlroy does something similar.
There should be a feature for the top 15 tour players every year, one each week at a minimum.
Rex was an MP because he didn't have the balls to be in the infantry.
It translated to his pathetic golf commentator career.
A “well done Rasmus Hojgaard in Ireland” wouldn’t have gone amiss.
I’ve played Bolingbrook Golf Course and was shocked to hear they were playing an event there. It is a decent public course…that is the best I can say. LIV really is a joke. Last year they went to Conway Farms…this year, an above average public course. Saudis aren’t going to sink money in this farce forever.
Dropping to the Frosh-Soph team and being a star ….NOT a SUCCESS, just an AFFIRMATION
As a lifelong golfer and engaged fan with 4 PGA club pros in my family, one would think I’d be into Jon Rahm’s victory at least a little. But I couldn’t care less and also have never watched an entire LIV broadcast. This is with no real animosity. I just don’t care. That can’t be good for LIV I would think, but who knows.
The answer is NO.
