Early chip of the year candidate.

Looking forward to Chamblee lauding Tiger’s top 20 finish…

Stu1961 if he's really lucky/ maybe good, he might make a top 10 finish...

Is that good news or bad news ? 😉

Walterjn Not hard, just tell 10 of the 20 players if they want to get invited back for free money and easy world ranking pts, to be more Zalatoris like 1st round.

Nice to see Will Zalatoris back playing. Had a decent round yesterday.

“Min Woo Lee, leading by 3, is in position to pull off the Australian double.”

Minjee Lee’s younger brother looks poised to have a good upcoming year on the PGA Tour.

And if Tiger wasn't in the field this week,I highly doubt anybody would
even be talking about the Hero Challenge.
He STILL moves the needle,like him or not!😉

I like Paul McGinley as a color analyst. NBC should consider him. Very knowledgeable and likable.

Sneakylong

Scottie Scheffler seems to have figured out his putting. Bigger grip and 1 1/2” shorter. Plus his putting coach told him he’s a good green reader. He doesn’t need Ted Scott reading greens.

Stu1961

Looks like Clark and Zalatoris will be invited back 😎

Just watched some replay of the final round of the Hero. Tiger on the 18th hole and post round interview didn't look great. He looked like he just finished a 2pm tee time in Alabama in August. Looks like 72 holes is going to be tough on him. He needs to stick to flat courses for a while.

The Tour will be fine minus one golfer.

Since LIV does not have an ‘exhibition’ in the US,
The PGA Tour will be basically a USA tour and LIV will play wherever they can negotiate a venue.

Rahm just announced it is so live on Fox news wearing an LIV jacket.

I don't think stars like Rahm jumping ship to LIV is good for the game. But, $600M to play a sport is an impossible amount of money to turn down for 99.9% of people in this world, regardless of where it comes from.

This is the biggest get for LIV. This has to throw a monkey wrench in the negotiations. This isn’t good if LIV keeps syphoning the best players from the PGA Tour.

Reportedly he’s getting $560 million. The PGA Tour can’t compete with that kind of money.

Eguller minus one golfer

It's not about one, but who's next and how many.....the domino effect!

I doubt the flood gates open perse but the gates are opening more and more. Huge blow for the PGA Tour.

Eguller

Sneakylong The PGA Tour can’t compete with that kind of money.

True, but I see it as a chance to capture a large share of the US audience. There may be some big $$$ equity boys involved rumor has it. 🤔

Not as a charitable org, but could as an ordinary billion dollar business.

Yeah, Rahm will have his own team. So he’ll get to pick 3 players. This is more leverage for PIF. The PGA Tour is in a weaker spot today than yesterday.
