    Kuchar is getting destroyed on twitter right now.

    Well, it does look like the caddie got a flag out of it

    Flag is already signed.
    "Dear David. Thanks so much for looping for me this week. I hope you enjoyed working for me as much as I enjoyed fucking you and your family out of a bunch of money. Now, enjoy living in your concrete shack, while I'm going get on my G5 and drink $5000 worth of Grey Goose from my wife's hoo-ha. All the Best. Kuch."

    Wonder if Kooch has already scheduled a vacation during the next Mayakoba Classic. "Sorry, there will be no title defense ..."

    Watch this. He goes down there and wins again. This time, with another caddy from the club. And gives him the whole 10%.

    I would think the players would have concrete guidelines on bare minimums of caddy pay, regardless of status of caddy. $3k a week, five percent of winnings, ten percent of champions check. Stories like these make all players look terrible. Caddies have no juice to organize, but the players should absolutely do it.

    In Kuchar's favor: It was a handshake deal; $3k for the week plus unspecified bonus. He paid the $3k plus a 2k bonus. He lived up to his end of the bargain.

    In Mr. Ortiz's favor: "Mr. Kuchar, you paid the $3k, we left the bonus open and you paid a $2k bonus; you could've paid another $45k to avoid being called out as a f**king cheapskate, but you failed to do so, so enjoy your $45k as you're exposed as a f**king cheapskate! for the rest of your life!"

    One of the things that irritates me the most is when a player is melting down and the analyst is getting on the caddie saying they should be stepping in and getting the player to focus. Like the meltdown is the caddie's fault.

    Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas together the first two days at Riviera. Have the late-Thursday, early-Friday draw.

    Appears as if it'll be bad weather, on Thursday at least.

    If I was a milllionaire many times over and was likely to make many more millions this year alone keeping my reputation intact would be worth $45,000.
    Now whenever I see Kuchar on TV I immediately am reminded that he is a cheapskate millionaire who could have changed someone's life and chose not to do so.

    And it's very rare, even in good weather, everyone finishes on Thursday and Friday because of daylight at Riviera.

    Tiger announces he's playing in Mexico next week.
    That means he (prolly) won't play Honda the week after, before playing Bay Hill then The Players.
    Can't ever remember seeing him play 5 in a row.
