So who else was yelling at their TV yesterday for Will to pick up the damn ball on the last playoff hole?
Forbes has had an impressive start at Wake.
A great 5-7 year run next would emphasize the problem. Forbes due to age and condition will not be the Wake coach in 15 years. There are no massive payoff years if he does start winning. There is nothing new about my position on this. I have only been saying it for 25 years here.
All the greats are hired in their 30s. Not because 55 year olds aren't great. Just because they have no time for the payoff years.
How long are LIV contracts for? Is this $100M signing bonus on top of the usual payouts? Or $100M over a specific period of time?

What I’m struggling to spit out is that Cam Smith in all likelihood - because it’s just hard to stay at the top for long - probably had just a few more years as a top player. Not as a potential top 20 area player and I guy that could win majors, but as a guy that threatened to be a top 5 world player. Golf is just so hard to keep firing on all cylinders. He has the game today but golf at that level is just so damn hard. Only the best of the best stay at the top for very long.

If he was confident he would be a guy that could do that, he wouldn’t have sold out. He’s now made it more difficult (and that’s his best case scenario) to compete in majors and he’s not going to be getting $10MM a year in PGA winnings. I think it says a whole lot about a player’s self confidence for a guy who appears to be on the rise and still young at 28 to sell out and go to LIV. I’m not showing much confidence in his rise now because it’s clear to me he isn’t. Just my armchair take.
