The Thread Where We Discuss Golf

[Chris2K]

Golf has peaked. Screw Bryson and his 900 yard drives, that is simply the best shot anyone will ever see.

[Meacon Keaton]

I saw this thread had a recent post and knew it had to be Baddar because I sure didn’t remember posting in it.

Rahm's actually not the first to get it in the hole on that shot. Has happened quite a few times.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah it’s kind of tradition to attempt the skip shot at the masters practice every year. Doesn’t make it any less impressive though.

[gunnar hendershow]

Yeah I mean most of the guys either don't get it across or it just settles on the grass once it gets across.

[gunnar hendershow]

DJ is in the home stretch. He's doing just enough to not be caught so far.

[Chris2K]

Tiger's par 3 10 was quite amusing, but yeah DJ has this. He's played very well all weekend, hope he gets the tournament record.

[Meacon Keaton]

I prematurely crowned DJ once. I won’t do it again until he’s sunk it on 18.

[Meacon Keaton]

And he did it!

[gunnar hendershow]

Imagine being Im or Smith and playing a nearly perfect 4 days and losing by 5 strokes anyway.

Tiger Woods in a serious car crash, had to be cut out with the Jaws of Life, in surgery for potentially two broken legs. 

[Szumi]

It's at least been reported the injuries are not life threatening

[Szumi]

Compound fracture and shattered ankle for Tiger. Absolutely awful, but all things considered, that's probably lucky because this could've easily killed him.

I wish him a speedy recovery.

[Meacon Keaton]

I hate speculating, but the first thought that went through my head was he was drinking. I couldn't help it, but when you hear of a one car accident that flipped and needed the jaws, that's what popped in my head. I'm glad he's alive and only suffered the injuries that he did. 

[Adam]

Tiger Woods will not face criminal charges over the crash and was not impaired by drink or drugs at the time.

[gunnar hendershow]

Phil Mickelson just won the PGA at 50 years old! Oldest major winner ever.

[Baddar]

Dustin Johnson is following Kevin Na out of the PGA Tour to join the Saudi funded LIV Golf Invitational Series.

Could be pretty big if other names follow suit.

[gunnar hendershow]

DJ is the big one to leave. Most of the guys are in that gap between their prime and being able to clean up on the Champions Tour, so they're chasing the money.

I'll make an argument that despite the money backing this the fact the majority of the best players will be elsewhere and its uncertain TV presence create an uphill battle for a truly successful tour.

[gunnar hendershow]

Yeah until all the other top players jump ship this will largely be a second-tier tour... The thing is whatever the PGA can offer in prize money and sponsors in deals the LIV Tour can exceed because of what it's backed by.

The big question is if this ever gains a ton of traction in terms of fan popularity since it'll be bouncing across the world as it develops.
