That was helpful.

 

Phil’s PR team has basically told him to go away. I wonder if we don’t see him til the PGA.

This has also been going on while Netflix has been filming the first season of their documentary.

 

This is good.

 

Somewhere there's a joke to be made about Norman and ending. But my brain can't put it together today.

 

Quote in the replies:

"Cannot wait to see Mize's reply to this."

 

And lol at the poor poor players on tour. You make one cut, you are set for the year.

 

Eh, for those fringe guys it's a big deal. I had a client one time who was one of them and it's not exactly the greatest life. Top 40-50? Different story, but I get it for the fringe guys.

 

And is this league going to actually treat fringe players any better or is it the super league a la European Soccer, where the rich get richer? I honestly know little about this league, but I know Norman has been trying to get this thing going for 30 years.

This podcast with Stevie Williams talking about carrying the bag for Tiger all of those years is some really good stuff.

How angry is @lylsmorr now that Tiger is playing in the Masters?

 

I get Tiger is a big story but it kind of sucks to watch. Guys out there playing golf and they’re showing Tiger on the practice range

 

Is that the real coverage or is it normal Masters crap where they don’t start the full coverage until later in the day?

I know for the longest time, PGA Network in particular just showed everyone on the practice range until a certain time because Augusta is dumb

 

ESPN+ or Masters app.

 

It’s paramount + at the moment. Been showing it all since 10:30

 

Tiger with the 4 putt double at 5. Oof.

 

I also don’t like the term “golf shot.” I’m watching golf. Just say “shot”.

 

Gotta give Scheffler credit, that’s about as good as you can hit it from that spot
