The Golf Thread

LIV players from the United States have been heavily criticised by a 9/11 survivors group who point out that Osama bin Laden and 15 of the 19 hijackers involved in the terrorist attack on 11 September, 2001 were from Saudi Arabia.

Tiger Woods reportedly has turned down $700,000,000 to play in the LIV tournaments.

Respect. I hope he sticks to his principles on this

A clip of a Sky Sports reporter asking golfers if they would play in a tournament hosted by Putin or in apartheid South Africa came up on FB. FFS. These guys are professional golfers trying to make as much money as they can, just like the rest of us. I know quite a few oil and gas guys who have worked all over the Middle East, nobody is trying to shame them for working in Saudi.

As for Sky Sports being the moral arbitrators of the world, get fucked. They are owned by one of the most evil megalomaniacs the world has ever seen. Those golfers should be turning the tables on the reporter asking him how he can sleep at night knowing his job is to make money for Murdoch.

sorry but the likes of Mickelson and Johnson who are already multi multi millionaires who made their wealth via the PGA should not be doing this. Saudi Arabia is an evil state that they should not be supporting.

107 today. I got 50 on the back 9. All bogies and double bogies, no pars. Very happy with that.

The LIV tournament last week was played in a combined total of 285 over par , which is hardly a high level event.

It's funny watching these golfers justify why they're going to play on the LIV tour. Would serve them right if it's a complete flop and they can't get back on the PGA tour.

Matt Fitzpatrick is in with a real chance of winning the US Open. Looks like I’m in for a late night

Played fantastic and well deserved. His Caddie was well pleased as well.

Terrific win , and a terrific tournament. It put that LIV event well in the shade.

Boom! Thanks Matty!

Why £6.64?
Was that all the change in your pockets?

And well done....I was rooting for him for you.

Bit of OCD I guess.... If I've got say £86.64 in my online account when I place a bet I'll just round it up so I end up with a round amount after placing it.

He must be quite rich now as he was Lee Westwood's caddy when Lee was good.

There was a point in time when Tiger Woods ex caddy was the richest sportsman in New Zealand, might still be come to think of it

I got 116 on a par 68 course today. We stuck to the rules of golf and counted all of the drops and etc. That's 16 higher than the last time retaking shots and not counting drops.

I wonder how many golfers there are amongst the people on this forum. I used to play a bit, not for more than 10 years now though. I was always happy if I got round in the 90’s, so wasn’t very good really. Still got my Pings though, but not sure if they’ll ever hit a ball again.
