Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.
Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.
Top 12 and ties invited back to the 2024 Masters
Almost all of them already had exemptions.
Gary Woodland missed it by a stroke.
1. Jon Rahm
2T. Phil Mickelson
2T. Brooks Koepka
4T. Jordan Spieth
4T. Patrick Reed
4T. Russell Henley
7T. Cameron Young
7T. Viktor Hovland
9. Sahith Theegala
10T. Scottie Scheffler
10T. Matt Fitzpatrick
10T. Xander Schauffele
10T. Collin Morikawa [Reply]
I would have far preferred the PGA Tour and its media to eat their words about the quality of LIV for the past year with a Koepka win but Rahm beating him is hardly a surprise. He’s been the best player in the world for a few years now and certainly has been in this spot more recently than Koepka. That very clearly showed today.
Mickelson also coming T2 thirty years after his first major top 10 (1993 PGA) is a remarkable accomplishment. Such a crazy talent level. [Reply]
Masters usually sucks. They invite half the field of regular tourneys and fill it with like 20 geezers. So you get crap endings like this a lot [Reply]

There was no reason for him to push it.
That course with all the elevation changes is a grind on a young person walking it.
He wasn't going to play a round and a half on that hilly course and in those conditions. He needs to recuperate and get ready for the British Open, a tournament he can actually win. [Reply]

People always knock the Masters for the field, but who didn't play would you liked to see in?
I think it's the right group of players.
Top 50 golfers in the world.
All the tournament winners from April to March.
All the recent major winners and top 4 finishers at previous majors.
I could see bumping up the OWGR group from 50 to 60. I think the exclusivity is what makes it special. One of the cool things about watching a young golfer win a tour event is thinking immediately, he's going to the Masters! [Reply]

You should take your own advice - along with the L you're taking for saying the LIV guys were "...a bunch of washed-up guys [who] want to cash checks in a third-tier league...". [Reply]

He can only win the British if its warm. He cant win any cold weather ever again. [Reply]
