R&A and PGA can't have two LIV players in the final pairing at the US Open.
Also crazy is that only three players have been assessed a Code of Conduct Warning this year: Rahm (British Open), Neiman (US Open), and Sergio (Masters). But Max Homa at the RBC Heritage, Justin Thomas at the PGA Championship, and dozens of other players haven't been given a Code of Conduct Warning because as Brandel Chamblee said regarding Rory at the PGA Championship noted that clubs “get thrown all the time,” tee markers get destroyed, and F-bombs are frequent on the PGA Tour with minimal consequences.
If you are a LIV player you will be thinking twice about rejoining the R&A or the PGA knowing that they are looking for a reason to make an example out of you.

Would love to see the same situation happen to a euro player. Bet they magically don't call it.
No player has been called for this in the PGA, DPWT, Asian Tour, Korn Ferry, or LIV since 2018 when Phil Mickelson self-assessed himself the penalty.

Sure. Was there a rules official right close by him on #5 when it happened?
This was a feature group.
Scottie, Bryson, and Hatton.
You know many officials followed that group.
I think the 3 players should have sorted it out.

Hate it all you want, 100% a penalty, he actually did it twice. He knows better. Integrity isn’t Bryson’s strong suit.

I actually do respect everything you say. You can watch your video and say this is kosher with Bryson?

If tweet fails to load, click here. And for the record Wyndham should have 100% been penalized also at the us open. Both are blatantly cheating

I’m a Bryson fan but I get the penalty.

Ok so with that full video I can see how you could justify an accidental improvement ruling. Simply because he is looking at the flag from behind the ball. It’s tall grass so you obviously have to trample on it to walk through it. That just seems like you could penalize so many guys so often if you penalize for that.
I personally would say that is cheating because it doesn’t look purposeful. Just a normal shot routine. But I can see that you could justify penalizing him if you really wanted to. I know I’ve seen a million guys look at the flag from behind the ball in gen talk stuff and it’s never called. So I can see why he is hit about it.
Wyndham literally stomped behind his ball and pretended to look at something past his ball, it was so bad

He 100% intentionally fired to improve his lie just like Wyndham did at the us open
I am fine saying it’s not fair because others do that without penalty. I agree
But I can’t accept the argument he didn’t intentionally cheat also

Someone mentioned it earlier but when you are Bryson, especially in that group, there are going to be a lot of eyeballs on you. Lots of no names that probably aren’t going to make the cut get away from it. Much more scrutiny at the top.

No not really.. and seriously?? Improving your lie has always been a penalty..
Also, Bryson is being a baby by threatening to not play tomorrow.. Don’t be a twat , man up ,own it and if you’re good enough to win go out and win.

All the more reason, especially if you've been playing golf at the highest levels of your ages for 30 years, you should know the rules. And you should, out of integrity for the game and out of personal integrity, do your best to follow them.

Why are you and others saying it was called a penalty for improving his lie? It was improving the swing path.
Anyway, Bryson has been playing tournament golf since he was a kid. He knows the rules. If he was not attempting to skirt the rule, he would have stayed a few feet back from the stance area and thought it through. When he wanted to get behind the ball and look at the line from ball to pin, he would have made a wider arc several feet further away from the ball and stance area than he did to get position on that hill. And then he would have double backed down the same way and then non-intrusively stepped into the stance area. He did none of that and thought it wouldn’t be questioned and then when it was he plays the victim and acts like an entitled a-hole.

Lord it’s just a general term get your panties out of a twist. He broke rule 8.1 plain and simple which includes lie and swing path. Go watch the video. He short stepped on the return and tamped down the grass. That’s what got him a penalty shite happens.

To me, if he simply just stepped behind the ball, he might have been okay. However, he wobbles/steps side to side.

Of course he’s gonna play today.

If I am playing a $10 match and the guy I am playing goes to his ball in the fescue and starts mashing down grass, I am going to have issues with him. You need to approach areas like that with caution so you do not disturb anything. If the tall blades grab your shaft on the downswing, you could whiff the ball completely. Removing those tall blades would be an advantage.
The best case for Bryson was that he was a little careless when he should have been very cautious.
I am a huge Bryson fan, but that didn't look good.

It was a lack of integrity. He obviously thought he could get away with it by playing oblivious. The people who are in disagreement are just BD channel fan boys who don’t even know golf rules and definitely cheat at golf themselves.

The exact opposite is true
These pampered fricks, as Patrick Cantlay once called them, are allowed to do whatever they want.
We watch guys tamp down their lies with woods every week and then pull an iron to hit the shot.
And don’t even get me started on pace of play. Playing within the confines of the time of the game is the most fundamental rule there is and these dudes take 4 minutes to hit a putt. It’s honestly a disgrace…. And this and a 14 year old Chinese kid are what we decide to penalize.
