Running 2022 Golf Thread

I’m telling you, Throwback Phil with the Hugo Boss and Yonex clubs.

 

Wonder if we tread into John Daly territory where he is using Dunlop balls and Powerbilt clubs.

 

Did you not read that he "desperately needs some time away"?

 

He’s been out for a month.
He’ll be there.

 

We've all been there, more than once, too.

 

I get the feeling Phil is gonna need a few months to rehab his back after lifting his jet ski……………..

 

From someone who used to be in the business . . .
I now don't understand the value of a super rich athlete submitting to interviews or engaging in social media. What is there to gain.
Ask at the beginning of the season what the fine is going to be for not doing interviews, pay it and move on.
When the Marshawn Lynch media thing was going on I originally thought he was an asshole but now I realize he was on to something and if I was him I'd consider doing the same.
Absolutely nothing to gain from doing interviews other than the potential for being cancelled.

 

I imagine sponsors wouldn't be too happy if their walking-billboard athletes like golfers refused to do interviews and stayed off social media. There must be stipulations in contracts for athletes to make honest efforts to be in the public eye as much as possible.

 

Can you imagine pro golfers touting their sponsors at every interview like NASCAR drivers?
"Jimmy, the Nike Salonpaus KPMG driver was really strong today"
