Since I can't follow live... I don't know whats going on. But I see Rory is out at -5 thru 11, Tiger is at +2.  He was at -2 last I saw, so he must have run into trouble along the way.

I don’t know about everyone else but I am enjoying how espn has been covering major tournaments. Especially the PGA championship. The ability to follow a group, or watch a select hole(s). It’s really given the viewer significantly more access to the tournament and content in general

Become a real fan of JT over the past couple years, guy is hones and IMO a fantastic watch on the course from play to his no-filter talk (love that). His tweet is awsome hopefully it puts a little pressure on these events to consider cost analysis. Obviously fans are going no matter what but would be nice to see some change in sports venues

I really enjoy the PGA Championship and they have much improved it from the afterthought glorified Tour-type event it used to be, but I still don't see any good reason that it is still a major.

We could say the masters is nothing more than a limited field invitational and isn’t worthy of being a major too.  Other than the US and British Open we could debate the merits or limitations of any event being a major. The main reason; which you typically ague against, is probably tradition along with how it represents the professional golfer in the US.

The Masters is by a wide margin the most watched and most popular golf tournament in the world. 

The PGA does not have a sterling early history. 

All in though, it is doing good things and it’s Championship has been top notch in recent years.

We don't get our greens vacuumed and the leaves blown out of the fairways.  Why do these guys get such special treatment!!  🤣  Play the course as you find it.

The PGA tournament is not one of my favs but it has shaped up well so far, tough but good play has been rewarded so far. There was obviously something very different about the sand traps at SH, but it appears they are adjusting after some surprisingly bad bunker play on Thur - looked like me being surprised in a trap finding out there's almost no sand under my ball, after I've tried to explode out.

Will it be Zalatoris, Thomas, Watson, McIlroy - or someone else? I'd be happy for any of them.

Headlines on the PGA Tour website...

"Tiger has new irons, wedges in bag."

"Woods slumps to worse ever PGA Championship round."

My guess… clearly only speculation, Tiger Woods moved back to Titleist to round out his career… again, this is mostly fake news… 100%

Nope.  Took out 5W and 3i and added P770 2 and 3 irons.  Updated the MG2 TW wedges with MG3 TW.

The course looks to be tough but very fair. Just what it should be for a major. Nothing tricked up and doesn’t have stupidly one dimensional narrow fairways. Just a tough course with strategic hazards and contoured greens.

It's a MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP. PGAs tended to be the weak link in the Slam rotation. With the Ocean course last year and Southern Hills this year - there's some teeth. Not the 25 under birdie fests most weeks. There are scores out there, I shocked that many of the favorites who seemed to be in form [and my picks - dammit] aren't grinding it out. 

Sorry about Tiger. Another couple of months rehab and a dead flat Old Course and we'll get a better idea if he can compete again. Weather has been sucky for him too - welcome to the 'old guy' world.

Say's the player in a heated battle not to win last place 🙄.  Umm, newsflash Patton, the conditions are the same for everyone your playing against... quit whining.

Anyone else notice that is rarely (like never) players at the top of the leaderboard making these cry me a river statements? IMO Southern Hills is playing like a PGA Tour course should.  These guys games are at stratosphere levels of capability - so it seems totally appropriate the course difficulty (adverse weather conditions aside) occupy the same rarified air.

+1. I’ve never liked the PGA because it was a birdie fest in many years past. That’s completely fine for some regular schedule tournaments, it’s fun to see them tear a course up occasionally, but majors should be a sterner test IMO. Kiawah and SH are a good trend for the PGA again just my opinion.

I aggreeeee @fixyurdivot, I could see if the whole field was complaining.  Just do what Tiger did, bow out of it is too much.  
 

Side note, I’m going to be stopping in Spokane Valley for a few hours… anywhere to throw a fly there?

Not much in Spokane Valley other than the Spokane River which is currently closed during Rainbow spawning season. It fishes best (most consistently) in fall but does have some prolific caddis hatches a good fishing immediately upon season opening. I've only fished it a couple of times to/from other much less urban waters.
