PGATour Running Commentary January 2022

First topic message reminder :

Happy New Year.  After a nearly a year and half, its time for a new thread.

39 ofthe 40 Players eligible to play Sentry ToC are playing.  Only one missing is Rory McIlroy.

If you haven't already, watch the Miracle at Medinah series on Youtube which features a half hour Justin Rose episode.
The Poulter, Colsaerts, Donald and Olazabal ones are also excellent.

Super

Surprised you believe in miracles?

Has anyone noticed the "new look" PGA Tour website? IMO it's a mess. I keep getting a message about turning off an Ad Blocker (didn't know I had one) and when I try and use it on my iPad, it won't open at all. Why mess with something that works?

Yep, I have. I find the App and the website harder to navigate. If the previous version worked fine, why change?

One for you Mac, Tiger playing next week at Riviera.

Is that first time since he humiliated himself at St Andrews?

I think he played (with a buggy) in the father/son challenge thingy. Can't remember anything else.

First proper PGA tournament since then, yes. He is the “host” for the Genesis so maybe that’s the reason? Seems unfair to the first reserve though.

When are you going to show Woods the respect he deserves?

I've got respect for his achievements, I have no respect for anything else about him and have no requirement to show him any.

Fair enough, but I dont know why you feel required to sh!t on him at every opportunity

The presence of him hacking around every tournament he plays completely ruins any coverage because the fawning media and sycophantic commentators don't have enough balls to exclude him coverage when he's doing badly.
I f he's playing well enough to be worthy of airtime, no problem, but slow motion montages of him scratching his arse or whatever are nauseating and insulting to people who are performing ( and he's a weapons grade c#nt.)

Incredibly impressive win by Scheffler this, relentless in this final round. Two bogies the entire event
Back to world number 1 now too I think?

Yes I think he's back on top of OWGR again. He finished 15 shots better than Rory, who was bigging himself up as the best player in the world on Wednesday. Rahm's putting was phenomenal this week, he was knocking them in from everywhere!

It's hard to believe Scheffler is as young as he is to look at him.

I dont see that super, what makes him look old to you?

I think he looks as if he is at least in his 40's.

in spite of his svelte torso and pert buttocks? I think he looks like Andy Kaufman

Scheffler looks about 45.

Agreed, he looks older with that acromegaly chin.

If we're talking facially then yeah, Scheffler looks mid-40's easily.

Scheffler looks like sports or movie stars of old. You know how you see pictures of celebrities back in the day and they look old despite being in their 20's or 30's.

I think there is a twitter account that just posts footballers from back in the day that look ancient in their prime.

That's exactly what I was thinking Mac, he looks like a 26 year old from World War 2

How bad is the BBC getting? It's been rotten for years, but plumbed new depths calling Sheffler, McIlroy and Rahm Woods' "cubs"

Had the day off yesterday and watched several episodes of the new netflix show Full Swing. It's very interesting on a number of levels. Anyone had a peek yet?

Watched the first two episodes yesterday. Some interesting revelations, especially Koepka’s fragile mental state and, having seen his obviously high-maintenance fiancée, there’s no wonder he took the LIV money!

Yes the Koepka bits were intriguing. His struggles were really laid bare, never thought he'd be that revealing. Joel Daemon and Tony Finau seem like really top blokes.

Ten Wives Tony? Surprised he hasn't joined LIV.

I'm just making fun of him for being in the Mormon cult.

Super

You are in the anti woke cult. You don't see making fun of you for that?

McLaren wrote:Super

Am I, what makes common sense a cult? You don't have anything to make fun of me for. Are you seriously trying to conflate allowing a r***ist into a woman's prison with a sinister religious cult?

Sorry, "common sense cult". Wouldn't want to disrespect anyone.

Ha ha. Try looking at the definition of what a cult is.
Mormonism is a cult, being woke/not woke is not.

Does your subscription to Andrew Tate count as being in a cult?

McLaren wrote:Does your subscription to Andrew Tate count as being in a cult?

I've already told you that other than the name I have no idea who he is. I've never heard him speak or read a word written by him.

Tiger played really well yesterday!

It was magical to see him out there.

McLaren wrote:It was magical to see him out there.

I was loving his power fade off the tee. Surely if he is physically capable of producing ball speeds in the region of 180mph then there's no reason he cant win more tournaments.

Depends if he can play four rounds at the same standard.
Clearly he has the talent, but he has a geriatrics body.

Woods implicated in pea brained mysogynistic "prank".
Can imagine Mac would be repulsed if it were anyone but him.

Super

Pretty poor from Tiger. No point defending it. Probably not that bad but not really very funny. Strange thing to set up.

Very antiquated "joke", surprised Thomas didn't know better after his fag-gate issue.

Not sure which is worse - the 'joke' itself or the fact they didn't think anyone would see it. How dumb are they? Didn't Woods think cameras would be on his every move? Or did he know and not care?

Makes "golf boys* look less terrible though. Wonder if the woke brigade will be demanding Thomas and Woods get "education " from the PGA.

Agreed Navy. Strange behaviour for men of their age. God knows what Tigers daughter thinks of it?

I don't think either are very bright Mac (like many golf pros)

Indeed. Its a prank to pull during a private practice round, not in the full glare of the media spotlight.

Still though, I dont think stuff like this is as hateful/harmful as some people are making out.

Yep. Childish, but meh. So what? More important things in the world I imagine?
