2022 PGA Tour

He was VERY unpersuasive in his presser.

To me. It sounded like he’s gone.

The whole “I let my team take care of it” nonsense. If it was no, it would be no

 

[PoppyHart]

Cantlay's unpersuasive all the time. Also, needs a Smile Coach. Great golfer, zero personality.

I was referring to Smith just now. He basically said his “team handles all that and I just try to win tournaments.”

Well, THAT would suck.

And another guy surprised and offended that he was asked about it.

 

[Oakland]

Sometimes a guy loses a tournament, sometimes a guy wins it. I prefer the latter. Cam Smith flat out won this tournament.

Cam pulled a Web Simpson.

Got Smith after round 1 at +850. Never hedged to Rory...Sadly it’s expected he ends up in 2nd at this point.

I took cam smith at +1000 this morning on a hunch!!

British Open champion Smith and Ryder Cup captain Stenson to join LIV Golf, reports say

Newly-crowned British Open champion Cameron Smith reacted angrily when asked if he was on the verge of joining the highly-lucrative LIV Golf Invitational Series but reports suggest the Australian is among many players who are about to jump ship.

That comment by Cam Smith is so disingenuous, you know, the 'I leave those decisions up to my team' BS.

You leave it up to 'your team' to determine whether you accept blood money from the LIV?

I. Don't. Think. So.

We all drive on Saudi oil and our President just asked for more. Why should individuals be any different.

Using Saudi oil and doing PR for the Saudi government is totally the same thing. great post!!

It's all blood money. The President meeting with the royal family is PR for the Saudi's. It's easy for us to say that you would turn down $100M. I doubt that I would.
If you were so inclined, you could do a lot of good with $100M.

I’ve never said I had an issue with them taking the money. I have an issue with the puss answers. Own your decision like a man. Say you don’t have an issue with the Saudis and don’t mind defending them.

I missed that earlier today -- basically the exact same response Cantlay gave about a month ago.

 

[goofnoff]

64 on Sunday is certainly earning it. Still, Rory made every green in regulation but couldn't get even one of those lag puts to curl in.

That was Rory's problem. I didn't see any close iron shots. He was always trying to sink long birdies.

This whole thing is sad. Cam Smith has already made 10 million this year in 16 events. Hopefully that works for him.

not really.

we only get 5% of our oil from Saudi.

Young played the best just missed to many short putts.

The defections are going to amp up now as the players believe the PGA can't stop them from competing in the majors and the Ryder Cup is TBD. The PGA is getting a quick awakening that they don't have the pockets and the golfers always chase money.

The PGA has no say over who plays in the Masters, US Open and British Open. The organizations that oversee those tournaments have yet to announce what they will ultimately do regarding the LIV players.

I am aware thanks, and that is their problem. They thought/hoped all the Major events would back their ban, and now that they haven't (and my bet is won't), they have no plan B. No way they want to go to court, and the players are going to chase the money.

It's too soon to know they will do, and whether they will act in concert, and how any court challenges might play out.

Plus, until and unless the OWGR awards points for LIV events, most LIV golfers, including eventually the stars, might have to qualify for both the US and British Opens.

 

[CuseTG2003]

Cam Smith and Matsuyama are huge losses. Cantlay would be too. I strongly dislike Greg Norman and Saudi Arabia.

Hot Take: Were he in his prime in 2022, Big Jack would take the Saudi cash.
