Adam was thinking why it took 58 steps from his car to the locker room but 63 steps from the locker room to his car.
Rory whines more than my five year old son
The PGA Tour of old is dead and gone. It's been destroyed by big money, big media, excessive use of technology, and greed.
And the hypocrisy continues… Rory’s now saying every golfer should look out for himself and yet he was complaining so much about the LIV golfers doing just that!! Frankly the letter is correct and the PGA look like a bunch of disjointed hypocrites running around in circles while LIV shines on!
He’s 100% correct. Rory is spinning.
that didn't really address Charley's complaint and statement.
I literally hate that Rory is the face of the PGA Tour now
Hoffman is right. Rory is a spoiled brat , and also a Euro . Why do all these guys that are living in the US get to play for Europe in the Ryder cup?
I’m on Hoffman’s side. Signature events with smaller fields limits the excitement of the events in my opinion.
I called this marketing if it doesn’t work then? However Hoffman criticized tgl? I wonder if he got offered nice money? will he be? Ur job is golf tgl is a job for rory. Pity jealousy if u will? And I don’t think rory hurt anyone. So yeah just play great and who knows ul wi more championships.
Can't stand rory. He is a clown
Originally Rory was critical of liv. He just said that he has to do whatever is best for him. Fair enough, but isn't that what the players that went to liv did?
Ditching all this crap, no longer worth any time…Rory sounds like an ass hat
Rory is a little half pint punk.
Charley Hoffman still plays golf?
Who does Charley Hoffman think he is, Jerry Maguire?
Hoffman wasn’t criticizing TGL… he was taking a shot at Rory saying he wanted to be home more but yet plays in race to Dubai and competing in TGL weekly. What Hoffman is saying is correct. Easy for guys who are set financially to want smaller fields etc…give the guys who are fighting for there livelihoods as many chances as possible.
Rory sums up his position perfectly. “Everyone needs to look after themselves”. He couldn’t care less about the game. Just his pocket book.
Rory just called out and rightly so, he's such a hypocrite.
I’m a big Rory fan… that being said I’m very disappointed in his response. Charlie is right. Lots of valid points and exactly what the viewing audience deserves.
The tour has had too many cards for way to long. If you're on the bubble every year, tine to look for a new career.
TGL is dumb! computerized golf? WTF?
Ridiculously rich LIV Saudi backed players are bored….boo hoo.😢 Go pound the Saudi sand!
Wow 20% the pga tour owns. It hasnt nothing to do with competition, the size of the field or if its open or not
Charley is 100% right
Who is Charley Hoffman??
The PGA Tour sucks.
rory is a fruitcake
If they really wanted to improve Golf, they would go to a Formula 1 type of system and have a huge national Open in 12 different countries each year, once a Month, and award points to find a Champion.
In the meantime the USPGA Tour could have it's own tournaments and LIV could have theirs in other parts of the world as feeder tours and qualifiers to gain entry into the 'Opens'.
Funny Rory sounded like why most of the LIV golfers left. Ultimately to look out for themselves and provide for their families.
McIlroy is an absolute prick. Can't stand him.
I’d like to know what Happy Gilmore thinks…
This is why I dispise Rory, arrogant hypocrite. He never told the LIV golfers to look out for themselves..PGA sending Rory out to talk shi!te in interviews once again
With the top guys picking and choosing what tourneys they wanna play the tour has been so weak so far this year. I love watching the tour but it’s frustrating not having the top guys in these tournaments
Very well said hoffman
I’m a big Rory fan he’s the biggest draw in golf now but I have to agree with Charley. TGL is worse than LIV. Just keep the old rules minimum 15 events to be a member. They shouldn’t have limited field events. All tournaments should have 144 players with a cut apart from the masters. Not just Rory benefits from limited field events. Lot of top players play all the no cut events . They should get rid of the co-sanctioned events for DP World Tour & PGA tour aswell.
Rory talks some shit.
Step out of the US Charley. Become an international superstar. The world needs more top calibre golfers to compete outside the US to promote golf.
I believe Charlie is 100% correct, ownership has nothing to do with it
First world problems. TGL stinks though.
Mcilroy is such a knob. Hoffman spot on.
"Players need to do what's best for them!'' #hypocrite 😂
Sour grapes Hoffman. He wishes he had the game to compete on DPWT and Rolex series events. Not many players have had such success on both tours. Stay in your lane Charley.
Rory would play two events per week if he could I think.
At the end of the day all players, people will look after themselves. And why not. Sure C.Hoff is not worry how he is going to pay the rent this week. I am. Let be realistic. Golf is a hobby for most, put Liv, PGA and DP aside. Go out there and enjoy it !
This message needs to be aimed at the PGA Tour bosses (I won't use the word leadership as it would confer too much credit) – clowns like Jay Monahan & the armies of lawyers – not guys like Rory who have been thrown under the bus by the commissioner. It's not Rory or Tiger or Scottie or Xander's fault the Tour bosses were caught out by LIV's genesis and responded poorly to it. Where was Hoffman then? He let Rory lead … now he comes out with this which, whilst it has some credit about legacy & depth of field, is aimed in the wrong place. Poor show. If Rory wants to play on the DP World Tour / Race To Dubai – the Tour he grew up on – why wouldn't he support that? It would be great if players & Tour management were united however the management performance to date has been poor so not surprising not everyone is 100% on board with them and pursuing other opportunities.
Is that what Arnold and Jack said "I'm just going to look after myself" ? …and what's wrong with criticizing your own tour…isn't that input needed to make your product better?
A strongly worded letter? Everything is dated about the PGA
He pga tour sold out McIlroy when he defended it against LIV, why should he give them any loyalty
How about European players supporting European golf. Worked for Seve, Faldo, Woosnam, Lyle, Langer, Olazabal.
