Order has been restored.
It’s a good time to be playing remarkable golf.
Let’s jump right in.
How are you personally weighing these Scottie wins?
4 of 6 have came in small field events.
-@daily_msu
Combining these two questions because there were a bunch just like this.
And it’s not like it’s been the same guy winning and winning and winning.
He’s now played in three tournaments against Bryson DeChambeau and Bryson’s finished with the lower score twice.
This is why the Open Championship will be so crucial in deciding how history will view Scheffler’s 2024.
Is Travelers worthy of being a signature event with it being so easy?
The scene on 18 yesterday was nothing short of electric.
I’ve been, and it feels like a big tournament when you’re there.
As for the relative ease of the course, two thoughts.
It matters far more who’s involved and what it’s going against.
Scottie Scheffler spoke to this early in the week when asked about Pinehurst’s difficulty.
I thought it was a great test of golf.
It challenged us in all the right ways.
You had to hit great shots so you can hold the greens.
Around the greens you always had some sort of shot because you’re playing out of the short grass.
TLDR: we know how to deal with a course with long rough off the tee and around greens.
That’s not where the difficulty is.
It’s not like every course can be magically made into Pinehurst No.
Connecticut is warm and rainy and mostly windless in June.
The course is going to be a lot softer than it would be in, say, October.
That’s a very, very long-winded way to answer your question.
What do we need to do for the Canadian Open to get Signature Event Status?
It produces great moments and there are some unreal tracks all over the country.
Would love to know what that process even looks like.
Is it just the dollars and cents of it all?
-@Cosmic_RyanTTV
I’m with you, dude.
As far as how it gets decided, see above.
It should be flipped.
The Heritage should not be a signature event right after the Masters, and the Canadian Open should be.
But again, it’s not as simple a conversation as it should be.
Why is the PGA negotiating with LIV?
Because without a deal, LIV Golf will continue to lure away top-class players with huge guaranteed paydays.
Because their new American backers want to bring the game together and that doesn’t happen without the Saudis.
Other than those, I don’t see any good reasons.
When we will we see him on the tour?
The others: Luke Clanton, No.
5 amateur in the world and rising junior at Florida State; Jackson Koivun, world No.
As for when he’ll get his tour card…no clue.
Who knows how he’ll develop as a player and a person.
He’s 16 years old.
Junior to be played at Oakland Hills later this summer) and he’s clearly developing as a player.
What I really want to know is if Tiger’s going to be on the bag at Oakland Hills.
Imagine the intimidation factor for those poor kids.
Do you think they will change the olympic qualifier system after this year?
This is so painfully clear.
I’ve said this countless times, but the job of the OWGR is to rank golfers.
It’s not the tour’s jobs to cater to the OWGR.
That said, a new qualifier system isn’t going far enough.
It would produce great drama and show well on TV.
Every other sport has some sort of Olympic trial process.
It shouldn’t be enough to qualify on points over a two-year span.
Just my two cents.
Thoughts on FedEx Cup?
Has to change, Scottie being thousands of points ahead and starting only 2 shots ahead is laughable.
Secondly, you’re right.
That, and making sure the Tour Championship has some juice and isn’t already decided before it starts.
The only way to fairly crown a season-long champion is through the regular season points list.
Again, just my two cents.
Big ideas only today.
Thoughts on Tom yapping up Scottie in the heat of the battle?
-@travdawgks
Second straight week a chatterbox has been in the mix on Sunday.
But so was Bryson on Sunday at Pinehurst.
Which brings me to my next point.
Are we slightly underrating Tom Kim?
Hell, he’s already No.
20 in Data Golf’s ranking, which I trust way more than OWGR.
Oh, to be young… -@Cupcrazy100
