Koepka still listed as playing this week on the PGA tour even though he’s slated to play next week in Portland area on the LIV tour. And he’s grouped with Snedeker on Thursday/Friday who just trashed LIV and the players who bolted for it. Maybe we get a Bob Barker Happy Gilmore video highlight . . .
Brooks Koepka is the latest big name quitting the PGA Tour to play on the LIV Golf Tour. The former world number-1 will make his Saudi-funded debut at next week’s event in Portland.
Pretty sure day of, if they aren’t sold out, you can negotiate a lower price. At least that has worked in the past but haven’t tried it recently. Most likely has a much better chance to work mid-week Vs weekend.
All the questions about LIV and Saudis etc He didn’t answer a lot of the questions and said it’s for private conversations No joking around like the old Phil. He didn’t really say a whole lot. Gave short prepared type answers. They are replaying the comments on golf channel and talking about it.
I haven’t read the Shipnuck book on Phil but if anyone has read it, let me know if this story is in there or not. Been waiting awhile on this one and figure what the hell it’s pretty much all out there in the public at this point. So I was with Phil on the golf course for a long time and he was pretty great in person. He was telling us all kinds of funny stories. This was maybe 10-12 years ago. The topic of college athletics came up and whether current players should get paid a stipend or for their likeness etc . . . So Phil chimes in that when he was in school, they just cleared out part of their apartment, brought in blackjack tables, and they were the house and staked blackjack games. I thought that was hilarious. Given the current situation, it’s an interesting addition to the timeline.
