Release For someone with the expectation that never fulfilled.

He won a tourney last season. He'll win more.

BTW, isn't he the kid that was hitting 400 yd. drives a few years ago? And all over the place. Except fairways?

He was expected to have done much better in the first few years he got on the tour. Many thought he would be one of the top 5 players some time ago.
Reminds me of the high hope for Michelle Wei.

Release If you check his record, he's not really been on tour except for the past couple years. He came out about 10 yrs. ago, for 1 tourney, and he was just a kid. And, as I asked about, I think he was the kid that was smashing them over 400 off the tee and also had a brother that could do the same. Had some kind of ailments also that interfered with his playing a lot. Good guy from a huge family. Already made about 5mil and has already started giving back by starting his own foundation.
He'll do well. He's been doing well.

He shows up on the leaderboard enough to be relevant IMO. You have to separate the hype from reality, he's no Jason Day, Rory, DJ, or Spieth, but he'll be around for a while and make a lot of money....Look how long it took DJ and Henrik to win a big one.

He's a pretty solid player and had a really good tournament. Don't know why anybody would be bagging on him.

He's on the PGA Tour. That in itself is quite an accomplishment.

Tony raised the bar for golfers that hit fans with errant shots....class act in Ft. Worth last season.

Yeah, this guy who gets to play golf for a living didn't live up to the expectations of guys who socialize on a minor golf forum online...

I think he'll find a way to live with that.

Not taking away what he has already accomplished , and he certainly is one of the nicest guy on tour , see the link provided by mikeintopeka.
What I was saying is, he did not fulfill the expectation because everyone thought he could be much better than he has done. Personally, I have no idea of his underlying health issue. Hope he will get better with his health as we know
