Sounds like it's made for the bombers, I'll say one of the favorites like DJ, Rahm or Scheffler takes this one

'It's a pretty big fall': How everything changed for Phil Mickelson in just one year

A year ago, Phil Mickelson was on top of the world, golf's oldest major champion at age 50. This week, he won't be at the PGA Championship. How did it all fall apart so fast?

I wanna say Cantlay has a crack at this one. Or even Rory.

Then again, how the hell can you bet against Scheffler at this point.

If he "did everything right" from here he would be forgiven pretty fast. But he seems interested in digging the hole deeper.

The chipping areas around the greens should be pretty difficult for a lot of players. The course was redone, and short game should be pretty important this week because the greens supposedly have difficult runoffs. I think we will see a winner that grew up in the Southern USA. They should have a distinct advantage chipping around these greens.

I would say the favorites are Scheffler, Spieth, and Thomas. Dark-horses I'd look to Burns and Zalatoris.

Winner will come out of that group of five.

Super pairing. The three biggest draws in the game paired together. Almost never see two paired together. Three is incredible.

My money's on Big Brooks, like always.

Wait... actually, it isn't? Instead, I put some money down on Spieth, in the event that the slopes on and around the greens fool the bomb and gougers, and Morikawa, in case it ends up being a ballstriking-fest. Big Brooks is a pass for me, based on the injuries.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Bryson is out.

Bryson is out.

He makes the stupidest decisions. He should've gotten surgery months ago. Maybe he misses the Masters, which he never plays well at.

If he did so, he'd be able to play this event and come in with some tournament reps.

Instead, plays the Masters hurt enough that he has surgery the day after the tournament ends. Then he misses the PGA because he waited so long to get surgery.

His timing couldn't be more terrible.

My picks in my dad's golf pool (number of people out of 16 who ended up taking them in brackets) - most total prize money wins

Scheffler (13)
Dustin Johnson (4)
Rahm (10)
Niemann (3)
Varner (1)

I got good value in DJ

Rory is blowing the doors off this thing early

Rory has the putter and driver going...could be his tourney to lose.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Tiger -2 after 5 and +4 after 18

This was at Wyndham 2008 (tweet thread from same guy accounts that), but still hilarious. He genuinely does not give a f***. Never has really.

That’s what I love about him. Doesn’t give 2 craps what people think of him. He’s brutally honest

Mcilroy's got to win this now that he actually showed up on a Thursday

Curtis Strange pissing all over hockey for no reason.

What was he saying?

 

[GKJ]

What was he saying?

They were doing the spot for the games tomorrow, and Bob Wischusen was on the mic and was talking about going back to Edmonton and Curtis Strange just stepped all over him and said he doesn't think Scottie Scheffler cares about hockey and took over the call. Bob kinda called him out on it.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Rory and JT usually struggle early in majors. This week they look like the favorites a round in. Can they keep it up?

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Feel like the golf course has been a great host. Lots of interesting shots and penalizing rough that isn't ridiculous. If you don't hit the fairway it's a hell of a time hitting the green and getting it to stop.

The complaining about bunkers is also low key hilarious. Wah wahh, I can't spin a bunker shot that was 20 feet and get it to stop on a dime. It's nice to see bunkers actually being penalizing.
