Patrick Reed quits LIV after not renewing his contract. No big surprise after his recent comments but another significant loss for the Saudi's which is always good to see.

Bittersweet news.  More pain for the disgusting LIV golf, but means I've got to see Reed again on the PGA.

Although McIlroy is my favourite golfer there’s no other golfer who oozes more class than Justin Rose. 

Tommy Fleetwood?

How’s Koepka so quickly involved again? 

As soon as the new PGA CEO Brian Rolapp heard rumblings that Koepka wanted out of LIV, he came up with a 'one off' offer to 'major winners on LIV from the last 4 years' a pathway back to the PGA tour that required a decision by end of January.

 

This 'pathway' was therefore basically only available to Koepka, Rahm, DeChambeau and Cam Smith. Koepka accepted and the other three declined.

 

Rumour has it Rolapp made it 'major wins in the last 4 years' to deliberately exclude Mickleson who won the 2021 PGA.

 

Although Koepka is back straight away, he needs to play himself into the signature events and FedEx cup rankings from scratch. He also forefits all the various player impact programme bonuses.

 

Reed can return to the PGA tour on a 'past champions' excemption but only 12 months after his last LIV event so can't make his PGA return until August. In the meantime, he'll play the DPWorld tour and probably finish the season top 10 and gain his full PGA card for next season that way.

 

It's all bollocks.

Looking like a really close finish. The world team are much more competetive this time.

LIV finally get OWGR points but only for top 10 finishers.

 

Points awarded similar to DPWorld tour and less than half of a PGA tour event.

 

So many LIV golfers have tumbled down the world rankings that it'll be almost impossible for them to catch up again.

 

Can't see this satisfying the likes of Bryson/Rahm etc. and if/when they don't extend their LIV contracts, hopefully the whole thing will collapse.

Apparently Rory is as many points behind Scottie as the 667th (ish) ranked player is behind Rory 😳

Yep, the gap is ridiculous.

 

Scottie could pretty much take the next 2 years off and still be world no. 1.

He's the closest to prime Tiger in terms of consistency in recent memory.

 

Others have had good stretches, but not for the length of time that Scottie has.

I fckin hate this Par 3 16th

WM 'the people's open' :rolleyes: is one of my least favoutite stops on the PGA tour.

 

They might get 200k through the gates but most are just there to get pissed rather than watch the golf.

 

Although the organisers have been told to tone it down a bit now, you can see why the likes of Rory, Rose and Tommy give it a swirve.

 

Even CBS' commentator Johnson Wagner admitted to stopping playing there back in his day because the crowd ruined it for him.

But then people wonder why the Bethpage RC was as it was
