    And his wife gave birth a couple months ago to wide fanfare (isn't it a miracle when athletes start families?!). The guy should have been first in line for a shot long before this. Zero sympathy.

    Telling him off the 18th green with a camera right there is a little much for me too.

    Considering there is no players union and these guys are all considered independent contractors, it would be really easy -- I mean really fucking simple -- to have some sort of vaccination protocol in place. What are the players going to do? boycott the event? Then you won't get paid, assholes, since none of you have guaranteed contracts.

    Even more amusing is the tournament's founder and his wife both had Covid last year. But hey, who fuckin' cares, right?

    Yep, no vaccination, no go.

    Hey you’ve already been vaccinated for smallpox and polio.

    If you don't want to get vaccinated, cool. No problem. Your body, your choice. But there are consequences because it affects others. Contact tracing this week. Test comes back positive. So does the backup test.

    And I give the Tour credit for sticking to their year-long protocols. (Though I agree that telling him just off the 18th green was too much.) He cost himself millions this week -- and beyond. FedEx Cup points. World Golf ranking points.

    Still, if you don't want to get vaccinated, cool. Your choice. But know there are consequences with that.

    Jack had it? Don't remember hearing that. I suppose if Arnie were still alive, he would have been near death, fine, and near death again and Jack would have still had it for two days longer.

    So much has happened, but yes. More than a year ago.

    They have to tell him because he cannot walk into the crowd inside without a mask.

    Nothing is going to make poor minorities line up for the shot when they find out only half of the rich white folks are getting it.
