I wonder if Brooks will get some massive LIV bonus for winning a major?

DC300

johnnydoom having his name on the PGA Championship has to burn the PGA sooooo bad. The whole “washed up players” nonsense has to be thrown out the window now with another good showing from the LIV crew at the top of the board and the win. The majors are going to have to find a way to include these guys, it’s a joke if they don’t.

BTW, how awesome is it for Block to win an invite to the next PGA Championship? The guy really made the most of his opportunity out there. He really looks like he could stick on tour, I’m sure he won’t try to at this point in his career, but maybe he should lol.

More than that - he received an invitation to play next week on Tour at Colonial. 👍
And.....technically, he is only 4 years away from the PGA Champions Tour possibilities.
Good for him. He made the 'show' interesting.

DC300 Koepka moves to 2nd place Ryder Cup points, he is still a PGA member and eligible. Maybe frontrunner odds to win US OPEN

Agree, think how much better the Masters was with Koepka and Phil. Now the PGA with Koepka and Bryson. Hell, Koepka could be two for two in majors this year. How can you keep him out? It's ridiculous.

They'll have to just to save face. The two Opens will always include the LIV guys, right?

somebody from outside holding your company's major title is straight out of Pro Wrestling storylines circa 2000-2005

Wonder if we'll get some Forbidden Door action next?

Eguller Thanks for organizing as always Dan! And thanks to all the well wishers! Like they say a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while! 😉

Block earns just shy of $274,000

potbunker Under the radar, the PGA raised the purse by $3M Sat. morning. So, his cut is $288K+.
Even the ones that missed the cut got $4K+!

Partly thanks to those $17 per pint beers?

Par4QC

potbunker Well, that price must have been quite reasonable. You see a lot of drinking on TV in the crowds.
I don't do sports 'assemblies' but know that is very much a common type pricing at all events. Let's not mention hot dog prices at most of them.

I'm not that thirsty.

Higher price = greater margins and possibly fewer drunks.

Win...win !

sdandrea1 I don’t know if the opens will or not, they can tweak language to screw them. I suppose they can go through a play in, just a PITA to do it for guys that should be qualified anyway.

My usual driving range is at Arroyo Trabuco, Michael Block's course, so I headed over there at lunch today. It was still one big party going on.

Love that course, but I haven't played there in 12 years. It was reasonable for 5 years after they opened, but the price has soared. This is not going to help that.

DC300 I don’t know if the opens will or not, they can tweak language to screw them.

The 1 main thing these people kept harping on about was 'traditions' when blasting the guys that went to LIV.

Will they also screw with 'traditions', and become the same types they have scorned???
Pot/Kettle....Kettle/Pot???

World Championships/Open Championships are supposed to include the best players in the world. Don't even have to be a Pro. And entry used to be just on an individual's own thought of his game, not some ranking!!

The issue is that LIV golfers are not getting world ranking points because the system is based on 72 hole tournaments. Until they change that to also accept 54 hole (thanks Luc_Van_Daele for fixing my math) events, they are going to continue to drop in rankings as only a few tournaments per year count (Masters, PGA, Open...).
