The blood-money gang is happy to have such an ardent fan. Sure, 9-9-9 is deceased, but they'll take any fans they can get, dead or alive.

Best Greg Norman choke job at a PGA Championship?
Was it Inverness in ‘86 when he entered the final round with a 4-stroke lead and still had said 4-stroke lead with 9 to go, only to shoot +4 over those final 9, including a bogey from 25’ on the final hole after Bob Tway holed out from a greenside bunker?
Was it Inverness in ‘93 when he entered the final day with a 1-shot lead but lost in a playoff to Paul Azinger after missing a birdie putt on the first playoff hole and then bogeying from 4’ after a terrible first putt on the 2nd playoff hole?

Last time I was there was to watch the 2008 Ryder Cup. An Excellent Course.
Was cool to see Anthony Kim spank Sergio ( who was at his peak then) in the first singles match of the day.

Valhalla Golf Club, located in Louisville, Kentucky, is a private golf club designed by Jack Nicklaus, opened in 1986. In 1992, Valhalla was selected to host the 1996 edition of the PGA Championship, one of golf's four majors. The following year, the PGA of America purchased a 25% interest in the club.
the club sold to a group in 2022 that included junior bridgeman-loved him as a player-pancake jumper
junior was one helluva a businessman. I know he owned a bunch of yum brand restaurants that did him well yum brand's headquarters is in Louisville great story-retired in 1987 after making $350k/year. formed bridgeman foods which by 2016 owned 160 wendy's and 120 chili's

Hoping Rory can be in peak form for The PGA.
The last two years he found his form for a couple majors and was high on the leaderboard , and in contention ,down the stretch. Lost to two guys who played great .
Rory, Needs to keep putting himself into position to have a chance . Having won at Valhalla he should have some positive memories to feed off.

Quail Hollow is a dump. It’s a terrible course. It’s laughable the PGA plays there and more laughable the PGA of America holds its marquee event there.
The PGA of America’s choices of major venues has been historically bad. Luckily, that appears to be changing and these dumps are coming out of the rota and being replaced with true gems like Olympic Club, Southern Hills and a revamped Congressional that has been saved from Rees Jones and Tom Fazio’s bastardizing of it.

Typical Tiger Thursday: Make some decent shots early so some folks think he has “a chance,” however that’s defined these days … post a mediocre score that already has him all but eliminated … inspire others to talk about how courageous he is for even being able to walk 18 holes.

ESPN radio had a quote from an additional reporter stuck in the traffic this morning (not Darlington) who said that a different officer told him that "some %#@&! tried to run over one of our officers." Similarly the report says Scheffler "dragged" the officer. Meanwhile Darlington was right there and said the officer "attached himself" to Scheffler's car.

I worked some traffic deaths. Chaotic. Same with fires. Or anything that disrupts the expected flow. Rain and darkness and all sorts of unexpected flashing lights on a strange road lead to confusion. I have seen many drivers make poor decisions thinking they were getting out of the mess. And a few get tickets for it. I think it is entirely possible both sides are telling the truth as they perceive it. Scottie thought he was doing what he was told. He wasn't.
Having said all that, back to the snark.

Why? Police have a history of lying. Scheffler doesn’t.
Charges will be quietly reduced or dropped.

Because the stories are consistent. I think the felonies will be dropped and he will pay fines for the misdemeanors.

It’s not a major
-
Nah, it is a major. The trophy says so. The rain has rendered the course basically defenseless. So, it feels like Hartford/Phoenix/Detroit. If a course is soft and there isn't any wind, you can stretch a course to 8000 and these guys will shred it.
I think 20 under wins it. I don't know who gets there.
-
Given the events this week, course conditions and the fact that the PGA no longer owns the course, I doubt any majors will be held here in the future.

The problem is it’s straight and the green complexes are easy. It’s not a major venue. It’s fine for the Ryder Cup to help America win because it’s driver/wedge. When JT is saying this out loud, you know it’s just not enough of a challenge for these guys:
Fluff is right. It won’t host another men’s major, especially after the Scheffler incident and the fact it got sold.
It’ll probably be an exciting finish but a crowded leaderboard with this many low scores shows just what a bad course this is for a major.
Bring on Pinehurst
-
Almost impossibly, the course looks even easier today. Might take -22 or lower to win.
-
The relevant historical comparison isn’t Scheffler vs “Police”.
Scheffler’s vs this particular officer’s? OK.
You are correct.
This officer who broke police rules accusing Scheffler of breaking rules. Show evidence (beyond the word of this cop) or drop charges. The cop was wearing a camera. Show evidence.

I think Lowery made a tactical error. Dressed in all black in 90 degree heat and sunshine. He may be dragging by the end, a la Colin Montgomery.

DeCharcuterie making a nice move with the putt off the green.
-
Colin Parikawa.

Congratulations to Xander.
A well earned Major after so many close calls

Congrats to Xander on winning the TPC Valhalla

Congratulations on losing the title. Who, now, is the best player without a major? Hovland? Cantlay?

Probably Hovland. Cantlay blows
I’ve been told Talor Gooch is the best iron player of the last 20 years, so maybe him

Easily Hovland for me. Outside of struggling at the Masters this year, I think he has like 5 top 20s in his last 6 majors. Like 3-4 of those were top 10s. He's really damn good and is really close to breaking through and winning a couple IMO.
In other news, I know the feelings on him here are mixed, but amazing tournament image-wise for Dechambeau. I read 4-5 accounts of how awesome he was with fans and support staff all weekend and his gallery support seemed way stronger than in the past.

The less Bryson, the more likable he is. Not having him be visible except 4 weeks a year is probably the right amount of Bryson for both himself and the public.

For all the BS with LIV, I think its allowed him to be more himself outside of the PGA guardrails. His Youtube channel is great and has done wonders for his personal perception. I think its all helped a lot with his general demeanor and leaving the animosity he had with PGA management. Its a shame that it took leaving the PGA Tour to unlock that.
People can still dislike him, and thats fine, but you can't say he's putting on a facade. He's absolutely an odd duck, but he doesn't pretend to be anything else.
-
I have no reason to watch his YouTube channel, and I'll never watch an LIV event. So, as Unk said, I'll see him 4x a year, he'll maybe contend in 1-2 of those majors every year or three, and that will be plenty of Bryson for me.

Wags is right. Bryson is a character. I disagree with him the move to Saudi golf has been good for him.
He’s always had the social media stuff going on. His crew have included his TikTok and YouTube videographers for years, even when a PGA member. He got a ton of mainstream attention from the day he turned pro. Now, he’s another sellout propping up an autocratic regime under the pretense of growing the game of golf.
When he first got to the tour, he had a big fanbase and then, well, he got more airtime and more time to talk. That’s when he starting grating on people and exposed himself as not some weird golf intellect, but just another meathead golfer. But I liked that meathead golfer because he was so outlandish.
He’ll win another major. Probably. Because he is a great golfer

My feelings on Bryson have changed a half dozen times over his career and they probably did again yesterday. I think seeing Bryson play four times a year is the perfect amount, especially if he is contention. Can never see myself cheering for him, but he is a very good player and a good villain.
As for the PGA, my interest level was again low and spent less time watching than ever before. The divide in the game and the slew of low scores is not very interesting to me. I think I would have been more interested if Scottie, Lowry or Theegala would have been higher on the board going into the back nine.
While I like Scottie quite a bit, the most interesting part of the weekend was seeing struggle on Saturday. His play has been so incredible it was strange to see him struggle.
-
I did not like Bryson prior to his defection. Certainly was not rooting for him yesterday. However, I will agree he projected a persona that was much more likeable this past weekend. Maybe he has relaxed. Maybe he has grown up.

I think thats part of it. He's 30. A lot of what created division happened when he was in his mid 20s, a time when many normal people are kind of idiots, and they aren't wealthy, treated specially, and in the public eye. Ive mentioned I know various people who knew/interacted with him in golf circles when he was at SMU/early 20s and they all mentioned him as polite, affable, and thoughtful. I'd like to think thats his base nature and he's returning to it to some extent.
-
Got off the roids.
-
I'm guessing not having a camera right up on him every round and a bunch of interviews has helped things. The relative anonymity LIV has provided him means he can kind of control his public view better.
Less chance for an Augusta is a Par 67 type of comment.

I was never a Bryson fan but became one this weekend. In a cookie cutter sport he stands out from the crowd - Schauffele, Cantlay, JT, Speith, Morikawa, etc., etc., etc. He looks different, hits it differently and approaches it differently. Lots of tour players hold that against him, I’m sure, but I think it’s refreshing. His temper seems under control and he was more fun for the galleries than the rest of the boring field combined. As long as he comports himself like he did this weekend I’ll root for him.

I am definitely more pro Bryson after this weekend. Was not cheering against him and enjoyed watching his style of play and personality. I agree completely with the top guys on tour being cookie cutter and pretty damn boring.

But probably still too much for Brooksie…

DeCharcuterie ( Muggys moniker for Bryson) is an Excellent golfer. I expect him to be in solid contention at all Majors for at least the next 5 years baring injury.
The game is all about Distance now which Bryson has, and he completes it with a strong short game.

Not after the roll back. Bryson is too mentally weak to be able to handle that
