4 major champs in the top 10.

LIv had 4 as well

Also, PGA has Burns, Young, and Theegala which is more young juice than LIv had

Look, the LIV fans jumped the gun being dumbasses talking shite about a “bad leaderboard” after round 1.

That does not mean the same thing as a “shite tier leaderboard”, right?

Also, looking at the final leaderboard for LIV, it wasn’t all that impressive compared to what they started the day with.

I also think it’s 100% false to say LIV had the better leaderboard. They are equivalent.

Personally, I Like the WM leaderboard better due to the Burns angle. Also Cam young potentially winning event number 1 is some extra juice

Not saying he wasn't right, but clearly not the way to go about it.

Just walk over and be a normal dude and say "guys cmon, kid is a Monday qualifier" or something.

Instead of "this is our frickin job!". Dude has made $45M in his career playing a game and cried like a little baby because he sucked last year on TV.

He's always been an insufferable prick and that's obviously just going to rile them up more.

Same thing for ZJ. The hell did you expect after your Ryder Cup dude?

Pga misses not having all the big names at the big events. It is what it is.

I'm a fan that wants all eight to play against each other.

How do we go about getting that back?

There is a video of Zach's caddie flipping someone off.

ZJ is in for a world of hurt if the WM gets under his skin. New York is going to be ruthless for the next Ryder cup. Both pro USA and anti if things get bad.

How else do you go about it. The crowd has been out of line for 3 days. He’s asking for a some respect while the guy competing in his first PGA event hits.

X thread of chaotic/hilarious videos.

To be honest I don’t blame the fans. I blame the WM.

They promote the event as a party and not a golf tournament. Don’t be upset / surprised when people show up to party.

I understand guys are competing for paychecks, but it’s the nature of the beast now.

Saying “this is our job” is not a super relatable way, that’s for damn sure.

No one else besides the baby back bitches seem to be that bothered…

I feel like their putting line is always wrong.


It’s amazing the people that can’t comprehend the LIV line.

It’s two lines. There’s a point they’re aiming at & then a second line shows the predicted break to the hole based on the aim point.

I can’t recall seeing it being that inaccurate, but I haven’t watched every putt

But i still watch it. I have never been a LIV hater. I just think they can improve their coverage.



100%

I'm still baffled as to why they didn't make LIV the ultimate golf TV production instead of doing the cringey teams with trivia night names, etc.

Show me DJ driving on some course in Scotland with an 8k drone shot from off a cliffside while the PGA is at Deere Run. The golf may still be substantively better on the tour but at least LIV would have a gimmick that is actually attractive.

Zach Johson seems well-liked amongst his colleagues but to me, he always seemed like bitch

WM does need to do a better job of keeping the circus to 16. That is on the organizers and not the crowd. You invite 200k promising a party, you can't blame the people for partying.

I don't know if they can put the toothpaste back in the tube in the WM. Not just on the 16th. It's not that funny anymore (for years).

players can bitch all they want and they'll likely attempt to police the drunks better but they are not changing the DNA of the event.

I went in 2018, 16 is a ton of fun.

here is why they aren't changing
