And whether they say it or not, they all know the LIV and the players that signed on gained a lot for the PGAT players in the end. And they were not going to get otherwise.AustinCountyAg said:
Their decisions to go to LIV where business, not personal.
I think for that reason there was a lot of company speak, but if the LIV guys decide to come back in mass, most will be welcomed back by the players with open arms. Those that aren't, will have very little to do with the LIV business decision.
Pretty wild...

Besides the obvious change of the tree growth and additional distance, the angle is interesting too. Practically teeing off over the edge of the 12 green before.
Tiger doing Tiger things. Reed being a ****** canoe with his Aces hat. I hate the sips but JS is good in my book. Homa almost aced 16.
What did Homa do to deserve a practice round with Reed and Bryson?
Did you get to touch JS ?

He didn't. Just on the practice green with him.

He smelled nice.
A friend saw Reed out at the Woodlands putting green practicing in full Aces and LIV gear a couple weeks ago
I saw an interview with Cam Smith today. He said they get paid to wear their LIV team gear and he plans to do so if the Masters allows it. He brought non LIV shirts and hats to wear if they have issues. Apparently if Reed is wearing his hat they may allow it.
DJ wore his Aces shirt. Not sure if AN will allow during the tourney. Maybe just the practice.

Will AN disallow all advertising on shirts?
AN is above getting in the muck. They can wear their LIV shirts and hats and long-time golf fans can use them as a visual cue to remember Greg Norman choking like a dog at AN multiple times
No clue
Video version of the article posted earlier today.
Rory was served with notice of the lawsuit on Christmas Eve. That would anger most of us.Bunk Moreland said:
Agree on that one thing...but remember...Rory/Reed thing was before all the elevated event announcements etc, when even Rory had to acknowledge LIV's presence led to all that.
I also think the PGA was actively fighting to keep guys from defecting at that time...seems like after that 1-2 week period the LIV teams mostly finalized and the PGAT announced all their changes. Probably a tense moment for the de facto leader of the PGAT
Then Reed comes and flips a tee down by Rory's bag. Sort of a BS move. So I can understand some hard feeling on Rory's part.

Greg Norman is one of the original cool golfers. LIV picked him on purpose.
I'm a fan. Rory is rightfully and finally getting over being a little weasel about the whole thing.
Rory completed the slam this week
He does well when the courses soften up. Think he gets it done this week.

Oh no! He has on the hat of the team bankrolling him?!? How dare he! I'm sure no one else is wearing sponsorship hats.
Some of you have issues.

People don't like him so they subconsciously look for and notice things to complain about or make fun of him for...some of it is legit...most of it isnt
Literally every person there wears the logo/s of someone willing to pay them money.

I wonder how they will do the TV coverage assuming it bleeds into Monday, which is looking like a strong possibility
Looks like Thursday is now just cloudy with minimal rain
No lighting predicted all well at least
That place handles rain/drainage really well
Cold and wet is not good for Tiger

Where is boo's Masters thread? Did he go to the big driving range in the sky?

Kortan, A&M's golf head coach.
That appears to be a lot of the LIV angst. It's really weird.Aggie369 said:

Rooting for McIlroy and Rahm. Speaking of Rahm, I really liked his acting work in Inglourious Basterds. Wonder if he will do any more acting soon.

I think weather hurts rahm...more bad breaks happen in poor weather and Rahm still has issues controlling emotions.
Now that I'm typing it out...scheffler, homa, Xander, finau do a good job of staying even keeled.
Spieth is emotional but his short game might save him from bad breaks turning to bogies

There are a lot of the top guys in great form, but Scheffler is easily the favorite in my book. Defending champ, #1 in the world, won Phoenix and The Players, made semis in Match Play. Just plays boring, great, mistake free golf. Will receive less attention than the other top players. It's his for the taking.
I think Scheffler is the favorite but back-to-back wins are rare.
Morikawa's iron play on a softer course?
Just hope it's an exciting tournament.
