"I have a special relationship with him. We've probably went through every emotion you can possibly have together. ... That happens in this game, but I love him."
-Nick Sirianni on his exchange with A.J. Brown
@Daniel_Rapaport L take. This is such a non issue. Get over it. When you play golf that well for that long you earn unique opportunities. God forbid players control their own sport and schedule. Hope VJ whoops ahh and makes the cut.
Vijay Singh using a career money list exemption to play the PGA Tour at age 63 feels like one last carat from the Old PGA Tour where the players ruled. The 101st best player on Tour lost full status, too. It’s such an outdated concept, cannot imagine this continues.
The TGL has seen a massive ratings decline over the first 2 events of the new season.
Week 1 fell from 919k on ESPN to 646k on ABC, a decline of nearly 30%.
Week 2 fell from 1.05m on ESPN (with Tiger) to just 354k on ESPN 2 (without Tiger), a decline of nearly 65%.
It’s also worth noting that the numbers from 2025 were panel only, and this year they are panel plus big data which adds an estimated 5% to the viewership.
What are your thoughts on this?

@regesbellator@markscelfo@flushingitgolf The only reason majors are such a big deal is because there are only 4 of them a year, and there is a long history of their prominence. You can't just "make one every month". That's just not how it works.
@markscelfo@flushingitgolf I’ll raise you one, I’ve been saying this for a while. The only events that matter in professional golf are major championships. They all need to come together and figure out a way to have a major every single month.
This is RIDICULOUS.
Vijay Singh is using the career money list exemption to get full status on the PGA tour this year as a soon-to-be 63 year old.
Guys out here grinding for starts and Vijay is gonna take up spots as a 63 year old dude?
Vijay is already signed up for the season opening Sony Open in Hawaii.
This is beyond ridiculous in my opinion. Change the rule. Don’t let him play.
Let’s have Koepka sit out for a year while we let Vijay take up spots on the PGA Tour. That seems like a great idea. 😡
I think these new @odysseygolf S2S Tri-Hots are the best putters on the market right now. Zero Torque w/ minimal offset. Ai Dual face for smooth feel and speed. Top spinning grooves for pure roll.
Nothing touching it right now.
Quiz. What is your guess?
What is the scoring average for the typical 0.0 index (scratch player) on golf courses with these specs:
Par▶️72
Course Length▶️6100 to 6299 yards
Course Rating▶️70.0 to 70.9
Slope Rating▶️120 to 129
If I am going to watch golf on TV it’s going to be a tour or college event.
If I want to be “entertained”, I am going to stream something that is actually entertaining. (Pluribus anyone? 😀)
