Super League Predictions
With the BMW PGA Tournament in England shortened to 54 holes and no cut does that mean no World Golf Ranking Points and that Rory and Horschel will be withdrawing since that’s not real tournament golf, just exhibition golf??? Asking for a friend…

Did they actually do that? Oh my God the irony is dripping off that decision.

You can bet they won't be declining the cheque....
Fathead Rory was shooting his mouth off about LIV guys being tired by Sunday.
What an asshole! I have never rooted harder for a guy to miss the cut.

sdandrea1 I can't figure out what any of these guys think they have to gain by badmouthing either side. They made a personal decision and their former peers should respect it. STFU about it. It's like a fucking high school soap opera.
Two things that come to mind. I think if the defectors had just left and not tried to have their cake and eat it too by breaking the rules playing for LIV and still wanting to play in PGA Tour tournaments.
Secondly, if LIV hadn't sued the PGA Tour that may have quieted the back and forth. Possibly, maybe or maybe not.
I have no problem with the players speaking their mind on this. It's a huge deal. With any disruption this big it's bound to create strong opinions on both sides just as we've seen here on this forum.

Well, they did have a legitimate reason for doing this. 
How often does a head of state of a country for 70 years pass away. Cancelling Fridays golf was the right thing to do.
If we remember the NFL caught some flack for playing football the Sunday after JFK's assassination. Richard Bland a Brit cleaned out his locker on Thursday thinking the whole tournament would be cancelled.
Reducing tournaments to fewer holes because of weather happens all the time.

So those tournaments shouldn't count in the records as they're not proper tournaments? No reason they couldn't have a Monday finish. It's really quite laughable .

To be fair, or at last accurate, not all broke rules. Many resigned their membership first. The ones who didn’t, I believe, did not - for the express purpose of suing the PGA, as a monopoly, forcing their hand each season to sign away their media rights, which is what gives the PGA the control over where it’s members can play.
Even the remaining PGA members are probably, secretly, hoping LIV wins that case.
I'm out of popcorn on this one. The media loves it too much.

Once again what else is new, we disagree. Oh we did agree on the Bills. So there is hope.

Sorry you feel that way. 
But then again you don't watch much golf, so no worries. lol Looks like a nice finish for tomorrow. Didn't see any LIV players near the top that I'm aware of anyway.

Can't wait to see how they keep Talor Gooch of the TV coverage in the a.m.. I hope he shoots another -8!!
And btw, he has the lowest round of the tourney, so far. Must have been practicing, for some reason.

I’m rooting for Rory. If he wins he pulls off the FedEx Cup and Race To Dubai double. Quite a feet. Taylor Gooch will fold. You heard it here first. Lol
Look for them to go to commercial break when Gooch hits a shot. Lol
Defectors should stay in their own lane. Obscurity.
Sneakylong The TV coverage is not typical of what we see on the PGA broadcasts from the U.S.. They have been jumping all over the place, showing a lot of different players, which is something LIV does, btw. But, it is good. So, unless Gooch actually gets to the lead, I don't expect to see him at all.
, maybe the TV crew has been told to do this jumping all over the place, so it cannot be questioned on Sunday, if needed. Imagine them showing Rory slamming his putter into his bag/tossing it into a lake, just as Talor's winning putt drops. And we don't see that putt.
Yeah, it was decided to intentionally not show any LIV players in featured TV groups. But if Gooch is in contention then they’ll have no choice but show him.
You know what I’m hoping for. Lol
LIV players Gooch and Otaegui are -10, tied for 6th with 3 others, 1 behind Roy and 2 behind the leader.
There's a chance LIV might finish at the top
