Block has somehow managed to become the villain of the online golf world in the last four days.

To clarify…

And Block is +3 through 11 at the Schwab. Welcome to Tour reality.

Does it make me the Grinch to bet against Block making the cut this week? Seems a bit of a steal at -350.

I honestly just kind of forgot to steal this money from my online book. Dammit.

I think I heard somewhere he had 30 plus media interviews this week and was probably on a bender from Sunday thru Tuesday. No way he was going to do well this week. I do expect him to do better in Canada in a couple of weeks though, once things calm down a bit for him

Block not only missed the cut but finished dead last at 15 over.

The feel good story is over before it started.
A cup of coffee in the bigs and back to AAA…in two weeks.
I know he has a sponsor’s exemption for next week. Whatever.

The big golf fan doesn’t even realize he’s played in about 25 tour events. Cup of coffee? Do statements like this about other people that had some success make you feel better about your unfulfilled life?

Once again MOR taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune. What a specimen.

Unfortunately Jason K suffered an injury in the Washington DC LIV event, missed the last two rounds and couldn’t finish. No word on the seriousness of the injury. Hopefully he’ll recover so he can play in the next event.
See, that’s the thing about Pro Golfers. They are not on a contract and are independent contractors. If you can’t play, you don’t get paid unlike pro football, baseball or basketball. Of course they will go where they can get paid as much as they can in as soon as they can.
Nothing is guaranteed.
Go JK.

Jason Kokrak made over $3.5 million on the LIV Tour in one year. Pretty good decision and move.
Let’s GO!!

Lol dunno how that means liv golf wins but ok. I will say I’m pretty stunned, it reads like an April fools day article. I hope the things that are good about the game are kept.

Liv was performing horribly and being preempted by Sanford and son reruns. All very interesting… I wonder if the tour was backed into a corner due to antitrust legislation or what really prompted this.

I bet Phil is smiling ear to ear right now, all of this makes monahan look like a complete doofus.

I assume that you will no longer watch any golf now that the Saudis are equal stakeholders?
