I want to put this out there for struggling PGA Tour pros.

I will hire you first thing Monday morning, if you feel you can no longer cope with the rigors of your job and want to set foot in the real world.

I know of some myself who tried to make it on Tour. Many quit because it takes a lot of money. One guy I knew at my former club sponsored a couple guys at our club.

It really is like winning the lottery just to get out there and keep your card and make a living just to be a journeyman golfer.

One guy Full Swing features is Joel Dahman. Great story on losing his mother at 17. Many don’t appreciate how good these guys are. They’re the top of the top in the world. Joel was the best player in his state.

Full Swing does an excellent job showing behind the scenes of these guys. For the ones that do make it. It’s a wonderful life doing what they love.

      Yeah, that’s my point. The guys that do make it are in rarified air. We had qualifiers for the Valspar at our course. Guys shot 63’s and 64’s.

      But they would be also rans who missed the cut and nobody’s at the tournament at Innisbrook. The guys we see on TV every week are the cream of the crop.

      Put it this way. There’s a bigger gap between scratch players and Tour level golfers than there are between scratch golfers and 10 cappers.

          Sneakylong You are being generous. I think gaps are wider than you stated.

          I read an article years ago regarding the math behind golf and t was staggering. Amazing anyone even plays.

              Sneakylong These guys are good. Real good. Lol

              Yes they are, but there is much more to it than being able to golf your ball with the best.
              I've been around and played with some who potentially had the game to play Tour Golf, but
              they either didn't have the grit & determination, mental capacity, or cash to make it - but they could PLAY. 🏌

                Would love to see Brooksy back on the real tour. Same goes for P. Reed, and Cam Smith.

                Do guys get dropped from the LIV Tour? Or are they alternates? Do teams decide this?

                  I'm not sure that's entirely clear. They can play the Asian Tour and other smaller tours, and also the DP if they're eligible. But that's one of the interesting things to follow. What happens when a bigger name gets axed?

                      Subsonic Was caught stealing rubber worms in the 3rd grade in good ole Biloxi, MS and my dad explained to me what they do to thieves there. Scared me some, but really the big factor was the Catholic priest and confession, never really found that part friendly in all my years attending Mass.

                        Tried to tune into the broadcast, but apparently the Memphis CW thought it was better to offer a local interest show. The first time CW ever listed something I’ve actually wanted to watch and they didn’t bring it.

                          johnnydoom DFW CW has it, but my feeble OTA antenna doesn’t pick it up. And it doesn’t seem to be on YouTube TV.
