Ha,ha. I’m hoping for the opposite. LIV players unseen and unheard of. Like they were never there. Lol

Yes they did. But in the Scottish Open they were last minute additions. They’re not going to be in featured TV coverage, so it would be easier to group them together.

Sneakylong. Yea, I figured as much

Spuzz Kokrak can take Billy H?

Kokrak would destroy Billy Horsehoe.

Of course, he's Canadian.
Maybe Shillin' Billy will get sent a message, in the "dressing room", like we do things here in the hockey world.

Cam Smith loses his perks at TPC Sawgrass for winning the Players. One being his primo parking spot. Lol

"But it’s hard to find much else at TPC Sawgrass that reflects its reigning champion. A replica bag with Smith’s winning clubs – he shot a final-round 66 to win by a stroke over Anirban Lahiri – was removed from the pro shop as were photos of the winner that hung in the clubhouse.

Petty? Maybe but it is hard to imagine a player being allowed to benefit from membership perks while suspended… and it is a pretty sweet parking spot."

Beyond petty - good grief.

Rickie Fowler shakes things up with new caddie, coaching change and return to Butch Harmon.

"Fowler said he plans to play in the Shriners Children’s Open in October and expects to visit with Harmon ahead of that week.

Fowler last won at the 2019 WM Phoenix Open. He missed the FedEx Cup playoffs for the first time in 2021 and snuck into the first playoff at No. 125 in the standings this season.

“I’m just trying to get back to playing golf rather than worrying and playing golf swing,” Fowler said."

Seems pretty cut and dry. Break the rules you suffer the consequences.

“If they go to LIV they don’t have any of their (PGA) Tour privileges at TPC properties,” TPC Sawgrass general manager Derek Sprague said."

That's the kind of stuff that makes me root for the LIV players this week. What if Jack Nicklaus had actually taken the job that Norman has? Would they erase his entire PGA career? Would Tiger now be the all time majors leader?

Sneakylong Break the rules you suffer the consequences.

Some don't believe that is the case. They must be 'special' 🤑

Nobody "broke the rules". He won that tournament well before he left the PGA. You can't erase history. I don't really have a problem with them banning LIV guys going forward but you can't rewrite history.

Par4QC

Sneakylong I thought you were one for 'history' & 'legacy'? By the removal of a winner's existence from their clubhouse, they are doing golf a huge disservice. They are actually removing those things from their history/legacy, not his.
Fools.

gudgawd, people/places love putting up signs/memorabilia that show Jesse James "slept here". Damn lucky he didn't rob a credit union, I guess, instead of banks and trains. We'd never know about him!

Typhoon

All the PGA tour bitching is actually making me dislike them. I even stopped watching their tournaments.

They're causing most all of the circus by over-reacting. Stuffy bunch of traditionalists hanging on to the past instead of seeking a peaceful co-existence.

Spuzz

The "break the rules" mantra is lame and getting old.
Not surprised it's mostly Last Tee members spouting it.

Pretty sure a 100 million dollar guy who just won a real major doesn't give two shits about a parking spot at a fake wannabe major. Only the pompous asses care about stuff like that, which is part of the problem, and most of that comes from the American media who can't seem to stfu about petty nonsense.
Good grief.

Subsonic

Spuzz Look you gayazz maple syrup chugging, blue spandex wearing twit. You pull the Last Tee into this and we got problems. Comprendre?

KCee

Starting to hate the PGA Tour. I used to watch with the sound off a lot any way, but even on mute "Saudi backed LIV" is stuck in my head and I can read their lips as that's every other sentence. I have been watching the ladies lately. No mention of LIV there and many of them hit similar club distances to me. I think they deserve more fans any way.

Opening line in the article. “Not only is Cam Smith suspended from the PGA Tour” blah, blah, blah.

He broke the rules. Anyone teeing it up in an LIV event gets suspended. He tee’d it up in Boston. Get suspended and you lose your PGA Tour privileges. The PGA Tour owns the TPC Sawgrass.

Kinda like the soup nazi in Seinfeld. You break the rules in his restaurant, no soup for you!!! Lol. Smith lives in the TPC Sawgrass area. And he often used the facilities at Sawgrass. No more though. Lol

Spuzz

Par4QC one for 'history' & 'legacy'

You left out "convenient", which is how this dude rolls.
His views are a like a fart in a windstorm for the most part.
JMO!

They can put a plaque up with an asterisk next to the LIV players who won. Lol The LIV players legacy is they knew the rules and chose to break the rules. That’s their legacy.
