Early chip of the year candidate.

As a graduate from this esteemed educational institution, I will give Rahm the benefit of doubt.😁

azgreg 🤔So, they are only letting the 'elite' back in. re: Chesson Hadley has to sit out til '27 season.

IOW, IMO.....bullshit. Let them all in if they want, or none. Typical PGA elitism. Make sure when Scottie gets beat, he gets beat by someone with a name we all know.

Anybody ever tell you that the world isn't fair?

azgreg Yup, the PGA tour will still want to punish…. While taking a beating of their own.

They should all be welcomed back with open arms. Right now watching a PGA Tour event for name recognition is like a cross between the Korn Ferry Tour and the Club Championship at my course.

Par4QC a new status is created for the few that return--very few qualify since have-to-have won a Major since 2022--why my bud Phil does not qualify, his last PGA was 2021

Some confusion here. There must be different criteria for journeymen PGA golfers like Perez that left for LIV. I remember something about whether they resigned or just left and got suspended because they didn't abide by the stated rules etc..

Also read where LIV ended the Korean team. Wonder if Keven Na tries to come back. My first assumption is some of these guys will have to wait a year along with other penalties.

How about a qualifying tournament for all these would be returnees with a $2M entry fee and top 3 qualify for 2nd tier events - next year. 🤪

Eguller
I've come around to the idea that a suspension of one year from their last LIV round and a fine paid to PGA Charities would be sufficient.

darpar

If Bryson,Rahm,Nieman,Smith all leave within the next year or two, that'll probably be the end of LIV. IMO
Really kind of surprised it's lasted this long!

azgreg

Spuzz

Rahm, Smith and BDC not leaving, at least during the welcome back "window".
Perez is back because it's been a year since he played.
He was suspended for being part of the broadcast crew because it fell under the "promotion" section of the violations. LOL
Such BS. by the kindergarten run PGA.

Spuzz Such BS. by the kindergarten ( capital equity ) run PGA.

Just an egullervation added. 🥴

The youngest PGA Tour player 18 year old Blades Brown (now that’s a name) shot a course record 60 at La Quinta yesterday. And is tied for the lead (-17) with Scottie Scheffler at the American Express going into round 3 today.

Below is a recent video of 18 year old Blades Brown recently playing 18 year old golf influencer gabbygolfgirl.
