May 6, 20214 yr On 5/5/2021 at 11:57 AM, Jive Turkey said: i'd be pissed if i was Bryson and offered $30 mil, but old man Phil was offered $100 mil. do people really think Phil moves the needle that much? newsflash: he doesn't. I'm gonna guess the average age of the PGA tv audience skews much higher than the major team sports, and Phil drives more views than BCD. Probably not 3x more views, but I don't worry about that douche not making enough money. He'll be fine.
May 7, 20214 yr Idk if yall watch the ladies but Patty T is kinda rude....and has an amazing golf swing. Won their first major and is tearing it up in Thailand right now, shooting a pair of 64s to head into the weekend at -16.....
May 8, 20214 yr I bet he goes low today, there's something weird about guys who almost miss their tee times shooting a course record.

May 9, 20214 yr Mitchell has the Steve Elkington look down, few more LBs and no one would know the difference.
May 9, 20214 yr I was astounded he was getting those +odds that late. Wouldn't this be his 3rd win here? Does he still have the course record? Edited May 9, 20214 yr by ztejas

May 9, 20214 yr 25 minutes ago, Jive Turkey said: Rory can't make it easy. His shot on 17 was nails. Getting through 17 and 18 even par is very difficult (it's why Ancer posting at 9 was a big deal) he did it in one over and it was good enough. And fuck it he's back in the winner's circle and I'm $110 richer on a $20 flyer. Still the closest we've seen to Tiger. Not that he's remotely close - I kind of feel bad for this crop since that will always be their measuring stick. Edited May 9, 20214 yr by ztejas

May 9, 20214 yr Rory now at 32: 2x PGA US Open British Players 3× WGC 2x FedEx Cup (incl 5 FedEx cup playoff event wins) 3x PGA Tour POTY 3x Euro Tour POTY 3x PGA tour stroke leader 28 professional wins incl. 19 PGA qualifying wins and 14 Euro qualifying 2006 Euro amateur champion 4 Ryder wins in 5 appearances garnering 13 points total (yeah, I know, fuck him for that one) He is WELL past a double HoF resume and working towards a triple. Will be interesting to see if he can get the major monkey off his back at Kiawah.

May 10, 20214 yr If Rory and Spieth are good again the next few months will be a lot more interesting.
May 10, 20214 yr Byron Nelson moves into its new digs this week. TPC Craig Ranch up in McKinney. decent field the week before a major. big names include: Winner - PGA/U.S. Open Championship Jason Day Bryson DeChambeau Dustin Johnson Brooks Koepka Jordan Spieth Jimmy Walker Winner - THE PLAYERS Championship Rickie Fowler Si Woo Kim Winner - The Masters Sergio Garcia Hideki Matsuyama Winners of the Arnold Palmer, Memorial, Genesis (Last 3 Years) Jon Rahm Marc Leishman for the par 3 17th, they're trying to recreate #16 at Scottsdale.
May 10, 20214 yr 3 hours ago, 4th&Five said: 19/196 is pretty fucking good. And Rory is a better player than Phil. Whether he winds up with as many wins or majors remains to be seen I suppose.
May 11, 20214 yr TAYLORMADE SOLD – KEY TAKEAWAYS:Breaking News: TaylorMade sold to a Korean Private Equity firm for $1.6 billion.KPS Financial bought TaylorMade from adidas in 2017 for $425 million.Sale comes amidst reports of the highest industry-wide Q1 golf equipment sales on record.We’re hearing rumblings this morning the rumored sale of TaylorMade is now a reality. Today’s Korea Economic Daily Global Edition is reporting that TaylorMade has been sold to Centroid Investment Partners, a Korean Private Equity firm for $1.6 billion.The newspaper reports it is the largest-ever acquisition in the golf industry. The deal is expected to be finalized in July.$1.6 billion is a hefty price tag. KPS Financial LP, a New York-based private equity firm, purchased TaylorMade, Adams and Ashworth from adidas four years ago for $425 million. At the time, it was believed KPS would streamline and restructure TaylorMade with an eye towards selling it at a tidy profit.We’d say $1.6 billion – roughly four times the original investment – qualifies as mission accomplished.
May 11, 20214 yr damn. good time to be invested in golf. Callaway announced record revenues yesterday, in light of golf's revival amid the pandemic and its purchase of TopGolf.
May 12, 20214 yr Jordan interviewed on the new No Laying Up podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/no-laying-up-golf-podcast/id880837011?i=1000521353683
May 13, 20214 yr the Nelson (or the Byron to douches) has started. Rafa is leading at 6 under through 14.
May 13, 20214 yr 27 guys at -5 or better after the morning groups finished. Gonna have to go real low this week.
May 13, 20214 yr need the wind to pick up. last weekend was windy AF. hope we get up to 15 to 20 MPH or else -22 wins.
