- Kim is 20-yr old tied for lead now. Will not make Fed EX, but I think they said he secured his tour card for next year already.

- Fowler in danger of missing Fed Ex playoffs

- Nick Faldo is retiring. His last time in the booth is today. I've enjoyed listening to him during tourneys. I bet Dottie Pepper is happy he is retiring.(what a bitch)

I thought Kim makes it if he wins? If so, that might put Rickie at 125, barely squeaking in.

I may have heard wrong about Kim and Fed Ex playoffs. I thought he didn't have a shot win or not. but, we'll see.

I can’t remember where I saw it. The PGA app isn’t even showing a projection for him like it does for others for some reason so maybe you’re right.

If he wins, he's in the playoffs. Only way a non member can make it.

Always liked Faldo. Seems he always disliked Phil for whatever reason.

Women’s Open Championship is in a playoff. One of the players blew a 6 shot lead.

That bunker shot was sickkkkkkkk

Want to see Kim bring this home. Hopefully he keeps his cool last 3 holes.

Funny golf fans(read PGA, anti-LIV dudes) not really paying attention to this tourney, but the fan favorite LPGA event. Those crowds were amazing.

You got to believe the PGA playoffs can't get here fast enough. The last 2 weeks have been some weak sauce. By any standard.

I wonder if Faldo is still looking for some good, part-time work? Hate to see him go.

Buhai made triple on 15. Cool she still ended up winning.

Seeing Ben Griffin top 10 this week just reaffirms to me that top KFT players need to be filling out the back end of weak fields instead of guys like Parker McLaughlin

Yes, I paid more attention to a women’s major at Muirfield over a weak PGA Tour field at a mediocre course.

This is a good example of why I don’t want LIV to work.

Kim this week is a better story and more interesting than anything LIV can possibly offer.

And it doesn’t matter if someone watched every hole or not.

Watch a bit, catch the ending, listen to some sweet recaps on the golf channel this week as they paint a picture of what’s going on on the PGA Tour.

That is an INFINITELY better product than any exhibition LIV event, imo. I can enjoy watching golf that is a part of a LIV event.

I will NEVER give a shite about what’s happening, though. That’s going to be terrible if LIV ends up dominating golf and the PGA Tour suffers greatly.

well the mediocre field had major implications on the Fed Ex playoffs. Yes, weak field, weak course, but interesting for playoff implications and tour cards.

LPGA major is still weak sauce no matter what. Worth the watch mainly for the tight pants some of them wear.

I’d fully disagree on this point. LPGA players are still exceptional. But I do agree this week is interesting for exemptions.

Brutal miss for Justin Lower, but then cool for guys like Max McGreevy. I know Lower will still have temporary membership in the 125-150 category.

As much as Faldo has talked about fly-fishing, which he spends all his free time doing, I'd be surprised. Maybe some remote visits or something remote, but...

As we can see, once again, it's not just the talent that moves the rating needle. Golf fans want to see the personalities they enjoy rooting for. Kinda like why Nascar fans couldn't get enough of Dale Junior. He wasn't Senior, by a long shot, but he moved the needle. Still does.

The way I understand the story he asked CBS if he could work part-time. They said no. I think we will see Faldo again, somewhere.
