I guess ill retire if they didnt
Not at all groupie.
An interesting note for actual golf fans, you may want to turn away now, Koepka has opened a 4 shot lead. If he wins he'll have a total of 4 wins on The PGA tour, with all but 1 being majors.
A note for actual golf fans, the fourth round is where it actually counts and you have to hold it togather for the final round. Let me know when koepa reaches 14 majors you old fart.
Can yall believe it. Mike wallace hit a hole in one and they featured it!
Do you even have a handicap or are you that bad that it cant even be calculated?
Lame
Brooks is simply better than everyone again this week. No one else will win because he’s ahead and the most talented golfer in the field.
Yep, a dump for retired golfers.
It's so weird that he has just 3 wins and 2 of them are majors. Now he's in good shape to win his 3rd in 2 years.
Jack has said many times for him majors were the easiest because most players didn't have the nerves for them, that meant he really only had to beat a few guys who had the stuff for them.
Apparently this guy has found the stuff.
...wha...?
Koepka is exceptional talent. His power out of the rough is amazing.
I remember Jack talking about that, he said he could walk around the practice area on Tuesday and Wednesday and check people off that he had to beat. It takes the right mindset for sure.
Good post. Tiger also introduced a new generation of kids to golf. His impact on youth involvement in golf can't be overstated.
Since 1996 ( before Tiger) golf purses for the 4 majors have increased about 500%.
During the same time period grand purses for grand slam tennis tournaments have increased about 500%.
I'm sure other players would garner at least as much indorsement money if Tiger was to retire, quite possibly more.
It’s not just the purses for the majors have increased dramatically. Purses for EVERY golf tournament have increased dramatically. I outlined earlier the number of golfers who now hit seven figures in golf winnings. This doesn’t include endorsements. I recall when it was a HUGE deal when Greg Norman earned one million in golf earnings AND $7 million in endorsements. The likes of Tiger and Phil hit $50+ million in endorsements annually. Tiger’s impact on golf is quite measurable and continues to be so. Numbers don’t lie. When he’s playing, viewership increases. Especially when he’s in contention. Will purses continue moving up even when Tiger is gone? Most likely. But it is in large part because of the impact he’s had.
As far as you comparing tennis purses to golf, there were a couple of dominant players who came along at a similar time to Tiger. Their names are Serena Williams and Roger Federer.
