This playoff is BONKERS.
but are you guys friends
PGA won big with the finish and the playoff. Best golf of the year.
Just saw where Crysome Deshamblow and his caddie have split. Has to be maddening to loop for him.
Brooks Koepka, who has been engaged in a rivalry with DeChambeau, didn't let Thursday's news go by without comment. Koepka tweeted a shout-out to his caddie, Ricky Elliott, writing, "Couldn't do it without my guy Rick!"

What would Herb Edwards advise Brooks with these tweets? I've always liked Brooks, but this ongoing spat makes both of them look rather small.
We've gotten to that point in the season where the Euro tour is more interesting than the PGA tour. The Hartford, Detroit, Deere Run, Minnesota and Memphis courses do nothing for me. I'd like to see the PGA tour add a pretty venue in the Pacific NW or maybe Colorado in this part of the season. But it's a good stretch for the Euros in Ireland and the UK. This week they're at a parkland course in Kilkenny. Then comes Renaissance, St George's, Celtic Manor, Galgorm Castle and the Fairmont course at St Andrew's.

C'vile could not disagree more. River Highlands was a great watch last week (even with a weak field) and that course was compelling with a lot of water, and reachable par 4s. Despite losing Tiger the PGA Tour has done very well since the return of COVID. As soon as a Euro tour player qualifies for the PGA Tour, he can't leave the Euro Tour fast enough to play over here, which tells you all you need to know about the quality of play on the two tours. FWIW, on the Fed Ex Cup leg of the tour in August, the PGA Tour is playing at Caves Valley outside of Baltimore for the first time ever. That course is awesome.

I'm going to split the difference with you:
British Open Sunday is one of my favorite golf-viewing days. It starts with the best in the world going after the Claret Jug on some of the world's most iconic courses, and then (usually after for me an afternoon break/nap), the Barbasol Championship. The thing I like about the Barbasol is that it is a collection of guys new to the tour or refugees from Korn-Ferry who are struggling to get or keep their cards, accompanied by guys like Bill Haas who are trying to get back on a leaderboard after recent struggles. Throw in some Monday qualifiers from mini-tours, sponsor invites, and 40-somethings trying to hang on until their Senior Tour debut, meaning just about every player comes with a back-story to what the week means for them. But the best thing about The Barbasol: professionals teeing it up between barber pole-striped shaving cans.
