I think that some nasty stuff came out during the discovery phase of the lawsuits. The only way for the PGA Tour to keep it quiet was to settle. Rory, Tiger, and the other top pros who turned down massive amounts of easy money have to be beyond pissed right now.

On the funny side of it, Brandel Chamblee and Eamon Lynch have to be devastated. I will enjoy that.

PGA may have held the upper hand from a legal perspective, but they did not have the funds to outlast the continuous barrage of ongoing legal fees and potential adverse outcomes.  While the 'game of golf' may ultimately benefit, there is no way to sugarcoat the apparent hypocrisy.  Hopefully the deal at least contains a clause that says Greg Norman is out.

Chamblee is the worst.

The equipment is so much better than many years ago.

I know in 1990 or 1991 our district golf course that was 246-254 depending on where the tees were set. I could smoke a 3 wood (Golden Bear lol) or easy swing driver (driver was the smart play)

I feel like this 290 33 years later is similar but you know Rory and others will be hitting 3 iron or 5 wood, which I feel is the club they would’ve hit on that par 3 I am speaking of in 1990.

Neimann from a long(er) shot. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top-4 (Brooks, Rory, Rahm, Scheffler) -- I wont be shocked if they finish 1, 2, 3, 4 or all miss the cut.

I’m going with Cantlay this week. Spieth will have a great week.

Everything always points to Cantlay. Then he sucks it up in the majors.

3 - Lowry

4 - Henley

5 - Power

6 - Hardy


Tier 1 - McIlroy

2 - Fleetwood

3 - Rose

4 - McCarthy

5 - Power

6 - Rodgers


May make a couple of tweaks.   Looking forward to seeing how the course plays.

Haha all good. I was just using it as a way to poke fun at Cantlay, because I hate him when he’s in contention. Boring, lifeless, 6 hour round, 7 min 3’ putt etc. 

but he’s been in like 25 majors at this point, give or take. Has as many missed cuts as top-10s (4). Simply doesn’t show up, despite his perception and numbers.

If he's in the hunt, look for a Monday finish  :)

Cantlay/Bryson final pairing. They might have them tee off first and allow everyone to play thru as the round goes on.
