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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Eguller

If you check Sneaky's post, he was quoting the article - not writing it. He may agree, but
didn't indicate that. Oh, the LIV 'employees' knew what the consequences of their actions might entail.
They are big boys....JMO

So had Jack taken Norman's job, (which he considered) you'd be OK with erasing him from PGA Tour history like he never existed?

garyt1957

Sneakylong He broke the rules.

He hadn't broke any rules when he won the tournament. He was a PGA member in good standing.

Sneakylong Kinda like the soup nazi in Seinfeld. You break the rules in his restaurant, no soup for you!!!

The Soup Nazi couldn't take his soup back after he already gave it to you and then you break the rules, now could he?

Sneakylong

garyt1957

Makes no difference. He’s suspended. Can’t use the facilities. He knew this when he took the money and went to the dark side. Lol.

Sneakylong

garyt1957

Jack dodged a bullet there for sure. Luckily his people talked him out of it. Him and Arnold Palmer were the ones who led the PGA Tour’s players to not join Norman’s Stars Tour back in the early 90’s.

He’d have looked foolish heading it now. Yes his legacy would’ve been tarnished big time.

Shane Lowery let’s loose with his opinion on LIV players being at the BMW Championship.

"I Just Can't Stand Them Being Here' - Lowry On Certain LIV Golf Players At Wentworth
The former Open champion said some LIV players are disruptive and take the spotlight away from the BMW PGA Championship."

"Shane Lowry has admitted he “can’t stand” some of the LIV Golf players taking part in this week’s BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, saying that if he was in their shoes he wouldn’t have shown up."

Sneakylong

To the PGA and it's whiny b**** ass members I have to ask "oh does your p**** hurt?"

Ynotgolf

Sneakylong Pure jealousy. They can have their cake and eat it too. As for erasing history, remind you of any persons? We've gone from "tear down that wall" to "tear down that statue, erase that part of the history book".

Him and Rory are going to need to see the doctor after this is all over! 🤣
If it makes you sick, you should stay in the house.

I ask....why did they not lead a boycott of this tournament? No one show up except the LIV members that entered? They would have to wait of course, until tomorrow morning, in order to stop replacements.

Not too bright, these PGA people. IF they want to make a point. ahhh, but never upset the apple cart, no??
