Should the PGA Tour emerge from this existential crisis and remain the dominant force in professional golf, it’ll be in no small part due to pro-bono work from the law firm of Rahm, McIlroy & Thomas.
The US Open has fused its DNA to presenting a challenge more exhaustive than its counterparts, where pars matter and “good bogey” isn’t said in jest. When that challenge appears watered down, it calls for a larger discussion.
Amid all the chaotic content surrounding the launch of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series, Rory McIlroy has been adamant that he will remain loyal to the PGA Tour. Fitting, then, that he picked up his 21st PGA Tour victory just one day after the completion of the first LIV Golf Invitational event outside London.
McIlroy carries just two wedges aside from his pitching wedge, a 54 and 60-degree but he used them well enough to rank second for the week in scrambling.
According to Thomas’ Whoop strap – a digital performance and recovery tracking band – he recorded a 100-percent sleep score the night before his victory.
Justin Thomas had a frank answer when asked about players who want to defect to the multi-billion dollar LIV Golf rival league, headed up by Greg Norman.
