Pro Golf Critic

As promised, @RedHarrington44 & I are hosting an @XSpaces tomorrow (Wednesday). Questions? Ask them. Grievances? Air them in a productive way. See you tomorrow. twitter.com/i/spaces/1nxeL…

@Fo__________Fo @Astro_Nick3 #1 If you’re a grown man letting others influence what you like, you have bigger issues. 💯 #2 You’re just making excuses, I’m sharing data.

@Astro_Nick3 @ProGolfCritic So true, I like most of the golfers in LIV but these clowns have really made me passionately against it

#LIVGolf R1 Scoring Avg: 71.18 PGA Overall R1 Scoring Avg 72.26 For the record. ✅

@StryderJa39237 🤷🏽‍♂️

@ProGolfCritic I really was too early on Kaymer. What a disastrous start. Your voodoo is very strong.

@jp6125 Didn’t say PGAT. Said PGA Champ avg for all players. This isn’t a PGAT tweet.

@ProGolfCritic LiV League scoring average is accurate. PGAT average is incorrect, but that’s not surprising. 71.14 is the scoring average among players who compete predominantly on the PGAT. This excludes club professionals, LatAm, Asian, AustralAsian, African, DPWT, and Seniors.

@DKSports77 I’d relegate him anyway. 😂

@ProGolfCritic A Kaymer win this week would put LIV in an interesting spot as they’d have a guy who’s won a Major this year and likely to be relegated from the league🤔….might be time to start including points for placing in Majors.

I want to make this clear: I’m happy to see Martin Kaymer playing well. But I’m not rooting for him to win this #PGAChamp, just like I wasn’t rooting for him to win in 2010 (DJ) & wasn’t rooting for him to win at Pinehurst 2014 (DJ/Rickie). I don’t root for everyone on LIV - just most. I’d rather Brooks, P. Reed or Sahith win.

@Anthony_in_DC I wouldn’t jump to conclusions so soon.

@ProGolfCritic I love Bryson, but he is likely to miss the cut. 2 majors in a row missing the cut. Maybe what he is doing is not preparing him mentally or honing his game well enough to compete at the highest level?

Bryson was middle of the pack in SG Approach today (similar to last year) but was dead last in SG Around the Green which is very unlike him & unrelated to his irons. He’s usually adept at getting up & down but not today. Everyone has a bad round, but he finished 2nd the last 2 PGAs (same irons) & it’s low IQ to make this a referendum on said irons - dumb CGM slop.👎🏽

@IceCoan I’m just following what the stats say and what I see. Don’t be so emotional and don’t be surprised if he’s not in the lead after today. PS: I have a real job & it’s not tied to golf. 😂

@ProGolfCritic Scottie has NEVER led a major after 1 round until now and all you can talk about is how his game has fallen? Are you out of your farking mind? With LIVs downfall, how are your job applications at Footlocker going?

Here’s a Scottie Scheffler compliment for a change😱: his game has clearly fallen off (all stats suggest this - 59th in SG App today, which has been his elite skill). But his course management today was very impressive. I’ll admit. SG CM is 10/10. SG Putting 6th - may not last?

@matchu_wobards Happy with any of those. Ecstatic with Joaco/Cam/Spieth 👍🏽

@ProGolfCritic I like LIV…just getting it out there..but I’d love to see Spieth win. Or Cam Smith. Or Niemann. Or A Fitzpatrick

In a candid moment, Brooks Koepka admits off course issues took their toll last year on him and his wife Jena, "Last year was just difficult personally with what was going on off the golf course, nothing to do on it, it was just off."

@ArtistGolferJon Getting out in front of it. 😂

@ProGolfCritic I hope Kaymer kicks ass

@mrmckee I tend to agree. Bryson just needs to be himself, that’s what brings out his best golf.

@ProGolfCritic Its not the right direction......

@mrmckee *At the direction of his management.

@MAGADONIAN17 No thx 😂

@ProGolfCritic Honestly would be cool to see Scheffler go back to back. I like him as a person and he’s not a snobby ass hole like Rory.

@mushwx @livgolf_league @Cleeks_GolfClub Very random game sometimes.

@ProGolfCritic @livgolf_league @Cleeks_GolfClub Crazy but he’s always played well in some of these majors. Plus he said in the LIV broadcast last weekend that this is the healthiest he’s been in years

Martin Kaymer is 52nd in the 2026 @livgolf_league standings. He was 37th last year and 40th the year before. He’s never finished better than 8th in any LIV event. He just shot 67 & is currently co-leading the #PGAChamp. #predictable 😂 @Cleeks_GolfClub

@seegsGAP @livgolf_league @Cleeks_GolfClub I’m not even rooting for him lmao.

@ProGolfCritic @livgolf_league @Cleeks_GolfClub It’s the first round - your too horny

@ToddLewisGC @PGAChampionship Field

After day one of the @PGAChampionship would you take this guy or the rest of the field to win?

@JohnnyGB412 Agreed: putting has been covering up a lot this year ironically. He’s had his worst approach year in years. 2023: 1st 2024: 1st 2025: 1st 2026: 23rd He’s lucky this isn’t Poa 😂

@ProGolfCritic He is 12th in SG putting on the pga tour this year. Which has kept his game in contention/good finishes all year. And with him putting on bent grass probably won’t fall off much (8 straight top 5s and 4 wins). But SG CM matters it’s playing like a US open. Fat part of green

@Momsbasement54 @realgolfertalk Nah. Jaeger sounds like he’s from Alabama. Rahm doesn’t sound like he’s from Arizona - he sounds Spanish. 😂

@realgolfertalk @ProGolfCritic Yes.

Kaymer basically calling Stephen Jaeger a fake German in his presser was actually hilarious. 😂🇩🇪 #PGAChamp (1st time since the 2001 Open that 2 “German” players have been in the top 5 of a major - Langer/Cejka).

@DavidWilso68155 He’s fine. Battling some injury stuff but he’ll get through it.

@ProGolfCritic I think a lot of this is not knowing his direction in the future. 2 years ago he was on top of the world. He really loved playing on LIV

@bigcontentguy He cited “distance control with his irons”. I cited the issue today was not “distance control with his irons.” 🙄 Wedges/SG are different & a diff skill. Did you just start following golf?

@ProGolfCritic “unrelated to his irons” buddy his wedges are the exact same length and weight as irons, thats the whole problem. when you need touch around the greens, precision on tight lies or to get really steep on one the longer, heavier club doesn’t help.
