Golf World Golf thread - feat. The 2024 Presidents Cup

[sideswipe]

Day, Scott, Smith - all out for the Aus Open I believe. Should be quite the tourney that one....

Believe Scott not planning to play any Aus events this summer.

Herbert apparently playing NSW Open with Smith.

You have confused me there Pres?

Looks like nothing is getting any closer.
Seem miles apart.

PGA tour players not wanting to play globally might be the end of it all. Will they agree and let the PGA tour just carry on as normal or will the PIF double down and say we are having a global tour and just keep recruiting from the PGA tour?

And there is no way the LIV players are going to return what they signed on for.

Just keeps dragging on this.

Herbert enormous in what looks like a Ripper GC team championship win. Been very entertaining.

Reckon they have a good format - match play knockout rounds into aggregate stroke. Shows that team golf is good to watch. If only the chuckleheads running the sport could get it going again.

He was clutch a few times. Great format and great to watch. Coverage needs to be better . They have become like the PGA where all you see is putting. Good to see the Americans attend Liv the last couple of weekends in reasonable numbers.

LIV coverage simply shows too many shots without giving the viewer time to comprehend the context. It's dizzying.

And the commentary is horrendous with b/s like, "Herbert shocks the golf world".

I didn’t mind seeing lots of shots early days but now all we see is putting. I like seeing the approach shots.

Royal Montreal Golf Club.

The Presidents Cup begins this week. Check your local guides.

The International Team features many countries and cultures coming together with and for purpose. Adam Scott only just arrived into the Canadian city after competing at the BMW in Wentworth.

The format is ordinary - not enough matches on Thursday/Friday and there is the possibility that the cup can be decided before Sunday.

Sorry did not word that clearly enough.

My understanding is that none of Day, Scott, Smith will be playing the Aust Open this year.

That is a big loss for the Open when Day and Smith are both playing elsewhere in Oz. Dunno about Scott but wouldn’t blame him for not playing. He has had a massive year.

Some awesome matches / pairings

I'm going out on a limb.

Internationals to LEAD after day 1

Ballsy call and let’s hope it’s right!
Go one better - predict all five matches and end of day score?

13 points available on Friday and Saturday. Can the US take 10.5?

Maybe we should be asking will we win a solitary point?

Disappointing results for the inteys. Could be catastrophic for the event this year.

Also disappointing was social media comment remarking that theegala didn’t look American.

Well, the Presidents Cup is over after the first session.

Not that it would make a difference in who wins but if you don't pick your best team then this is what happens. The US team picked their opposition side, not going to be hard to win doing that.

Think it was another crack at the PGAT for barring LIV players.
