@NUCLRGOLF @TrackingRory Easy when you know you can offset the fines against PIP funds not yet “won” His argument? I’ve earned the right to do as little as I want End result? Not exactly unwavering support to the tour that’s given him everything. Whilst telling everyone else they should support!

🚨👀❌ #SITTING OUT — Rory McIlroy has elected to skip next week’s Cadillac Championship at Trump Doral, marking the 2nd consecutive $20M Signature event that the reigning Masters Champion has opted to skip. Thoughts on the move from Rory?

@RachelTrue Just as well he did. He also felt like he had to leave the ceremony. To protect the feelings of others. His film looks to educate people on his condition. Looks like it didn’t get through to you. Would you expect other people with disabilities to apologise for them?

Does Tourette’s make you unable to apologize tho?

@chambleebrandel These aren’t the only strong arguments. Jack is an argument against too. A player who reaches 18 majors, but was able to play 5 a season, cant say they’ve matched or surpassed Jack.

These are the strongest arguments and rebuttals for The Players NOT being a major: 1) History: Majors have a century or so of history, The Players started in 1974. Well, the Masters only dates to 1934 ( 74 years after the first major) and debatably didn’t become a major until 1960 or so… a full hundred years after The Open began. The Open, although it started in 1860, didn’t begin to have a real global appeal until around 1960, when Arnold Palmer arrived in St Andrews having won the US Open and Masters… globalization and popularity impacted The Open in an immeasurable way. The PGA Championship didn’t really begin to resonate with the golf world until it radically changed its format and field from match to medal play. From 1860 to say 1995… the number of majors grew from one, to two, to three, to four, to five and to six ( US and British Ams) and then was reduced arbitrarily back to four. ( Bobby Jones is still credited with 13 majors and Nicklaus went from having won 20 to 18 ) If history is the predetermining factor then why has history included new majors and dismissed old ones? History is not inherited, it’s accumulated and is the outcome of importance sustained over time. 2) Majors are owned and governed independently: This cuts both ways. The PGA is run by a membership organization. The Master is run by a private club. Are majors about who runs them or about what they represent? If it’s the latter, The Players represents elite professional merit arguably better than any major. 3) The course: The TPC Sawgrass was designed to specifically test every skill, punish imbalance and reveal nerve. It does not reward one style of play be it pure power or pure precision. It demands driving discipline, elite iron play, imagination and emotional control. It does this every year without relying on extreme rough, artificial length or one-week only setups. This consistency matters. Augusta isn’t a major because it’s long, it a major because it’s exacting. Sawgrass may be the most exacting course in professional golf. If a major is defined by a heritage title, The Players is not one but if a major is defined by a supreme competitive test, The Players already is one. 4) The US already has 3 of the 4 majors: For a sport that prides itself on being global this is a meaningful imbalance. Yes, this would mean that four of the five majors would be in the U.S…. But the players are not exclusively from the U.S. The Players has been won by players from Europe, Asia, Australia, South Africa and Latin America. The event may be played in the US but it is not American golf in composition. Besides The Open already guarantees global representation. It may be uncomfortable, but the strongest fields already assemble most often in the US. The deepest competitive calendar is American-based. The PGA Tour is where global golf converges. Majors are not meant to distribute geography evenly; they are meant to identify greatness under the highest competitive pressure. Geographic balance may be desirable but competitive legitimacy is essential and when these two come into conflict, competition has to win. Majors shouldn’t be balanced by a passport, they should be balanced by pressure. “The Players Championship” isn’t American golf; it’s where the world’s best golfers meet under the toughest conditions. Yes, four of the five majors looks lopsided but majors aren’t awarded to continents— they are earned in competition. And no tournament tests world-class players more completely than The Players Championship. Competitive legitimacy outweighs geographic symmetry, and The Players already functions as the most globally representative championship in professional golf, regardless of its US address.

@WestwoodLee If anyone ever doubted, the REAL propaganda machine has kicked into full gear now. Brandel proving that most media outlets are now PGA mouthpieces. Worth thinking about the next time they talk about LIV players “talking points”……

I’m worried about Brandel. Someone check on him please.

@chambleebrandel It’s a point of “willingness” We have a system where small field, no cut events get ranking points, an admission of that event having merit. Someone else doing the same thing surely follows suit. Is there willingness to finish the framework agreement or attain OWGR equality?

No cut events, and The Hero getting world ranking points, are hard to defend, but overall the PGA Tour is much more about merit and earned status than anything that LIV can claim.

@CAgovernor Well, hopefully you’re happy Europe showed a backbone whilst your president backed down over Greenland. We certainly didn’t take inspiration from when you and your party caved during the government shutdown……..

Californians have the moral and formal authority to fight back against Donald Trump as he wrecks this nation. I will not stand complicit. Neither should you.

@PhilMickelson @KipHenley You are being generous by saying “if I may” Feel free to use the words “you peons need to understand……” You’ve been watching golf balls reacting to turf at the highest level since 1991. I could take the advice of a weekend warrior, or I could take your advice. 1 winner!

@KipHenley If I may, in soft ground with a wedge the club continues downward through impact. On firm ground with a cart path being the extreme example, the club head levels through impact when it strikes the ground.This leveling through impact causes the ball to propel forward more directly

Dear smart golfers. How come I can only hit my sand wedge 85 yards off of soft fairways but I can hit it 90 yards + off of firm fairways, all else being equal ? And ! That same club only flys maybe 82 off the first cut? If you say you don’t believe yer dumb.

@PhilMickelson @ForePlayPod For a man who since 1991 has helped make this tour what it is, this is disgusting, but sadly not surprising. Earned a lifetime exemption it’s worth mentioning! “Meritocracy!” (But only when it suits)

@ForePlayPod 😂😂😂👏👏👏

The PGA Tour’s cutoff for returning Major/PLAYERS winners is 2022. Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship in 2021.

@CaryKelly11 @JohnCleese Let’s be real Cary, I don’t even think you understand what’s going on in your own country, let alone someone else’s! Wake up.

@JohnCleese Dear John, your country is in shambles due to poor leadership. Maybe focus that kind of energy on your own house and don't worry so much about ours. We voted for this. And Merry Christmas!

One of the most decent, highly intelligent and courageous men in America trashed by one of the most demented, vindictive and ignorant ones Shame on those who are allowing him to destroy Western values

@KilmarnockWFC Brilliant to see. Wankers never outshine winners. 💪

37’ | SKYE STOUT!! Skye fires in a free-kick on the edge of the box! Kilmarnock 4-0 St Johnstone

@stevenmcsween13 @chambleebrandel His laughable response to this will be “we HAVE to have a relationship with Saudi Arabia. We’re playing a game of global chess” One of his previous tweets explaining his hypocrisy. He keeps outdoing himself with stupid takes, and this one about Bryson might be the worst.

Man Brandel , I love lots of your content . You are fascinating golf intellect . But , you are way too over the top on this . Have you ever purchased gasoline ? Odds are you supported Saudi Arabia’s Oil economy . Have you purchased anything from other countries with history of human rights violations . Perhaps sneakers , I phone , electronics ? The moral high ground you preach has gone to a nauseating place

He’s one of the best players in the world no doubt, but he will be playing, not for the USA, but for Saudi Arabia in the Ryder Cup. If you disagree, just watch the LIV bots, LIV funders/supporters and those who have been bought by LIV celebrate if he plays well.

@mrandmrsjgsmith @sarah_luna_1111 Yes. Why would she not engage with you, clearly a lovely and welcoming person given the comments above……. Or maybe, she figured you out just by looking at you, and saw a nasty piece of work. Also, maybe she was just there to work out, rather than “take over”.

@TheAngryYankee_ @RealKevinNash No, he’s condemning doing his part whilst the government refuse to allocate his and other people’s rich taxes to helping those who need health care. He’s literally saying he wants his money to go to those who need it. And still gets criticised. Twitter 2025 folks! 😂

Happy 4 more trillion in debt day. Never felt this proud as we continue to destroy the empathy we once held for those less fortunate. So I guess Happy wealthy white 1% day. Enjoy your small regional hospitals while you can. Things just continue to get greater. Happy 4th....

@lollujo I’ve hoped for this.

You’ll all be glad to know that it’s now reached the point that even with my air conditioning on full blast (which I can’t do whilst recording) I can’t get my office below 26 degrees. So I will be sweaty and potentially shirtless for today’s videos.

@nocontextfm1 A stadium development section.

What's the #1 thing that would turn Football Manager 2026 into a MUST BUY if they added it? 👀

@robbystarbuck “Various other reasons.” That sentence has to do SO much work that to call it transparency is laughable.

This is incredible. The Biden administration let the whole country freak out for weeks about drones and a possible drone threat when they approved the damn drones. Why did they help create panic instead of telling the truth and calming people down? Lunacy.

@elonmusk In most of the tweets you’ve put out there, you’ve linked to mainstream media reporting of said events. Either you ARE the media, or you recycle the mainstream media, but it can’t be both.

You don’t hate the media enough. Especially, state propaganda arms like the BBC. This is the same BBC that sheltered and paid Jimmy Saville, one of most horrific pedophiles in British history, for decades.

@SkySportsGolf Behaviour when he plays on the PGA and DP tours = relatable/one of us Behaviour now he plays on LIV = moaning/spoilt rich guy

"I despise everything about this hole" 😡 Safe to say Tyrrell Hatton isn't a fan of the 18th ⛳️
