Playoff on Golf Channel and Peacock, 9 a.m. ET. NBC won't dare break into Today, its cash cow, for golf.

9 a.m. is a good time to get some fans there and pull a nice rating. The three-hole aggregate format is great.
But my heart goes out to all the corporate sponsors who had tee times tomorrow morning.

A buddy of mine who worked in advertising said that a major con when he was considering switching jobs was that he was losing his Monday round after the Players.

Why did Rory get to go first in the playoff just because he posted first in regulation, as opposed to drawing numbers out of a hat as they usually do in Tour playoffs? He then hits a 336-yard Pish missile that Spaun has to follow. Not that it would have changed anything, but one of those little nerdy procedural things ...

Been going on a for a few years -- I think post-COVID so no one is reaching into a hat and touching it and touching the other paper with numbers on it. Also goes against the first in/last out rule.

Why does NBC go out of its way to patronize all pros but the top stars they endlessly fellate? Spaun didn't have it today, and in a pat on his head voice one announcer, I forget which, said, "I'm sure he'll take something away from this that'll be a big help in the future." He was right in one sense. Second prize at the Players was 2.725 million, a help to anyone. Anybody on the Tour is a wonderful player, the top 0.001 percent of golfers. But it's like only the top 0.0001 percent matter to the commentariat.
