Tiger is for Tiger.
The quicker the rest of the players get that thought into their head, the better off they will all be.
Rumor has it Rahm is close to signing with LIV !
Rahm to LIV??? Who might follow?
We all realize you are a capitalist by you promoting your paid podcast .. Now how about you guys losing your card … wouldn't almost all of us like to be able to play golf for a living? Of course we would !!! Struggle is part of almost any job I can think of if your desire is to be the best you can be ….. You two are nothing more then two opinion jockeys… And your record is not very good so far with me… Wrong about Brooks Koepka not attending the Ryder Cup … You said he would decline being a member of the Team… Wrong about Jay Monahan being pushed out this fall ( well fall is almost over and Jay is still around ) … I see no reason to pay for your opinions when mine are just as faulty. Lastly I like the Star Trek name references but aren't you two getting a little old for childish names? How about changing to Dumb and Dumber for new names. Sorry if I sound upset but you two are a joke in my opinion … Or am I not allowed an opinion here?
Walker had already lost his card as well as Jason Duffner but once the move to Liv Happened, it moved Walker and Duffner up to getting a card. Now it's naturally corrected. Lanto Griffin sounds like some guy in Star Wars, cool name. The Rahm memo missed your desk, looks like a go for Liv. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Golf MUST have a season
TGL??
TGL postponed,, FOR A YEAR,..that is a disaster for TGL..one storm can shut down a golf league for a year?
PGAT killed DP Tour…so it's finished if PIF walks away
PGAT is US only….and in terms of global vision thats 0/10. Euro tour is almost dead..now a feeder tour for PGAT..thats disgraceful….which is why LIV is so important so that top pro golf can be played globally
PGA just has poor management. LIV is golf of the future. I am so happy LIV golfers have contracts and can spend more time with their families.
If tiggers the captain they will get the same support form many that ZJ got with his buddy buddy picks! NONE! I have never understood in any sport why people are so willing to to ignore enormous defects in athletes personalities because they are really good at their sport. They are national figures that need to be held to standards on and off the fields and courses and when they stray there needs to be consequences! why oh Why would you make an individual with the morals of a liberal the captain of a team representing America when he has NO morals?? So if Zinger is out how many more analysts will there be withBritish accents? As soon as I hear the foreign accents I'm gone! Much like the golf channel America doesn[t have any golf instructors they all have to have some foreign accent to be a golf instructor on the golf channel?? ya I don't watch it anymore either!
I usually like to get primed to play…..I’m 61 😅 I walked n played 18 today. Shot a 90. Last Saturday I walked n played 18 in a tournament……from the tips. Ugh 😵💫shot an 80 n placed 1st in the C flt. 🎉🎉🎉. Damn I’m feet hurt. Actually I’m way past my prime….
Surprised nothing on Rahm leaving TMRW or Rory resigning from the Top Policy Board. Love the show. Cerebral. Please keep up the great work.
So if Rory (all bow…) ends up in 15th place he gets 100 points and the other guy finishing 5th place gets 100 points? Sounds fair to me…. Not!
They got rid of zinger. How about getting rid of shambles and his leprechaun..
Lanto and players at his rank should run to the qualifier for LIV. PGA tour has become an ultra elitist group. Ridiculousness!
The pay disparity is a very real problem and it really shows up in pro motocross where up and coming riders fight for scraps while facing severe injuries every time on the track.the one thing good about golf is the fact that you can still be able to make cut lines in your thirtys and forties
Corporations will form yet another tour for those outside the top 70 which will be marketed to the rest of us. The may not be as great, but it will be a living to these pros. Better pr with the rest of us will make more people come out and see them.
TMS: would you mind including links to the source materials you get for your episodes?
What is good about golf struggles is when a journeyman has his week. Gets his 2+ years exemption, qualifies for some marquee events, has a chance. Or when a journeyman+ guy has his week and wins his major, Trevor Immelmann, Gary Woodland, Keegan Bradley..
have always enjoyed Zinger's commentary and insights, the broadcasts will be less interesting without him imo
Rest assured you'll see the Jimmy Walker's, Lanto Griffin's, Jason Dufner's, Blaine Barber's and Kevin Kisner's of the golfing world all show up at the LIV Promotions event next month hoping to finish Top 3 and punch their golden ticket to LIV golf league in 2024, as that's the only thing that will save them from having to regain their PGAT card by grinding it out with the newbies on the Korn Ferry Tour.
See Nate Lashley sharing PIP information. So many conflicts of interest and the fortunate paying themselves big. No other sport does this.
Silly comment about it does not matter who is the Ryder Cup Captain!!! What…….there is the reason why the USA struggled in the Ryder Cup.
The Bryan brothers and GM golf have more influence to younger golfer than Tiger right now
Distance has always been an advantage but with technology especially the ball the difference has gone from 20 to 30 yards to 70 to 80 yards. Also with these low spin balls the advantage of being a straight hitter has also been taken away. Never see a snap hook anymore.
The points discrepancy is wrong, you don't win but a few top 10s and you stay top 50, it's a closed shop. So much for a players association.
