If you just let the top 10 players every week only you would guarantee a great leaderboard!

This tournament proves why limiting fields is horseshite

Are you pretending like LIV had an amazing leaderboard this weekend?

If they’re scrubs you should have no trouble beating them right?

Do you play golf? Doesn’t sound like it with that statement.

Pros can win one week and miss the cut the next. If their name guaranteed a win Joaquin Niemann wouldn’t be the best player in LIV.

Wild you missed the mark that bad

I’m quite literally saying because pro golf is so good and deep now now the only way you can guarantee a “top leaderboard” is to cheat the system and limit the field

Yeah, because that’s exactly what I meant with that. Just took a look at what Shane Bacon tweeted out prior to the round about no big names near top of board. But, hey, easy money this weekend on the pick! I’ll take it.

Rory off to a great start this year. Can he finally get another major?
He just did


The Players is considered the 5th major. Golf Channel certainly treated it like a major.

I'd be fine if The Players became a major. Great event.

I bet you could beat them. Especially after you tell them how many hole in ones you have, it would be over before it starts

If by “top leaderboard” you only mean names you know.

How did they get to be names you know? By being names you didn’t and started winning.

It was 2 inches away from being a Spaunn win. Not exactly easy.

The local news station had a hilarious graphic saying "Rory wins first major since 2014" while listing his 2019 Player's championship win right next to this year's.

If Rory continues to putt well and be a little more conservative off the tee, he could have a really big year.

this has been the case with him his entire career TBH

He’s the best driver of the golf ball in the world. The last thing he should do is be more conservative off the tee

Yep. The only thing he should continue being conservative in is approach shots.
