I will also say... Terrell Hatton on the first page of the leaderboard also makes for an exciting weekend... just maybe in a different NSFW way... haha. 

Hatton doesn’t hide his emotions well

So true. 

There are some guys that are easy to watch or just more engaging. He seems to be one of them. Glad I drafted him too!

I'm sure you've answered this thirty times over on other threads, but what's the time zone difference for you...what time is it now?  Trying to grasp just how crazy maniacal you might be to be watching golf right now... 

[Rickp]

Looking forward to Hatton on 16.  I’m guessing he’ll birdie it

it's that I don't like watching them play the game, I just know the wheels are going to come off and cost themselves a win. 

I don't consider it a hot take, just an opinion that's different than others. 

Ok... this player is overrated, that player is overrated...... 

My question is...

Which player do you think is the most UNDERrated???

I continually underestimate and underappreciate how good Schauffele is for example... even though he is the reigning gold medal winner... as an example.  Probably because of ALL the strength of field around him.

It is 50/50... he birdies and the crowd goes wild... or he misses his putt just on the lip and throws his putter into (at) the crowd

6 hours ahead of EST. So just about 10pm. 

Normally up till about midnight and up at 5-6 each morning. 

Baby is asleep so now is a good time for me to get things done and caught up on various work.

Homa, Burns and I'm sure more. All depends on what scale or comparison you're doing.

Agree with Burns... kinda in the shadow of Scheffler.  Homa is getting a ton of respect... so I'm not sure I would put him in that category.  Of course... the way he keeps winning... not sure how you CAN'T give him respect!

On course interview with Tom Kim pretty cool.  PGA is changing.

Who cares dude. Seriously

Better content is better content. Where they got it from literally does not matter.

Hatton on his long Tee shot on 16th said a bad word .  He didn’t launch his club though.

Chill;   maybe I care; maybe someone else does;  maybe someone doesn't think it is better content.  

Maybe I should stop posting.

The only thing they didn't copy was that 5 foot long boom mic they on course reporter has to try and manage while walking.  haha.  I like that aspect, and it humanizes the players when they have a chat between shots.  I'm all for it!!

Love the leaderboard. Really hope this is what we can expect for all these non major bigger events.

Yeah I'm hoping that as well. It will bring some exciting duels and finals rounds for sure

[GolfSpy_APH]

I don't believe they will ever capture the same feel or follow as a major, but if they can capture even 10 percent of that it will make for a much better follow and watch.

100%

Either way, it's a win-win for golf

[GolfSpy_APH]

Not a lot of change in our leaderboard. However lots could change today!

Some good picks, but of course a few have still been left on the board. 

I do wonder if there is anyone out there that will one day have a perfect week.

I have mixed feelings on the new PGA tour (minus the Liv guys). On one hand guys like Bryson and Cameron Smith are missed. On the other, it is kind of cool to see guys like Zack Johnson, Ricky Fowler and Keegan Bradley to add some life to their careers.

Watching the replay again this morning and the on course interviews don't really do much for me.   Tom Kim was probably one of the best choices but I would rather listen to player/caddie interactions.    When they show Kim and his caddie the interactions are just great TV in my opinion.

Jason Day IMO is the most overrated player on the PGA. To much hype, not enough performance. 

 

Underrated on the PGA, that is a good question. Xander is a good call but he gets his time in the spotlight, Tommy Fleetwood could be in this category along with Fritelli, Fitzpatrick, Homa, and I am liking Tom Kim even though he is just starting his journey. 

 

Overall underrated, Brooke Henderson, watch that lady's swing. I am no swing expert but oh man I think a lot of us armatures could learn a thing or two from watching her play golf.

I believe this is just someone personal thoughts on who they think is over or underrated. In reality there is no wrong answer just a conversation piece.

Now THAT is a hot take JFish!  How about we say the entire LPGA Tour is the most underrated in the PGA!!!???  100% agree with your comments about Brooke.
