Running 2020 PGA Tour thread

Michael is exactly right. Friendships are legendary on the PGA Tour. Jack and Arnie (although it didn't start out that way). Norman and Price. Curtis and Lanny. Azinger and Payne Stewart. Trevino, it was said, drank more with the British/Irish Ryder Cup team players than his own US teammates that week. Fast forward to now, and Spieth, JT, Rickie, Smylie Kaufman, all best buds. I knew guys like Frank Lickliter and Joe Durant who love Vijay. The closest thing Reed has to a friend on the Tour is Spieth, but Spieth is such a good guy it says more about him than Reed. But I also never see those guys playing together on Tuesdays.
I sincerely hope Reed's marriage lasts forever. Because without his wife and her brother, he's got no one -- since he's cut off his own side of the family. His parents have never seen or held their grandkids. Think about what kind of miserable SOB you have to be for that to happen.

 

To me, that's sadder than any of the alleged cheating on the golf course.

You can't hold a grudge forever ... at some point it's too late to apologize.

Where does that put her in the FedEx standings?

 

Cheater wins in Mexico.
Film at 11.

 

Yeah ... your kids who have never met one set of their grandparents.

 

And this one cost him a new car.

 

I noticed Sunday Night Football stopped showing Rockefeller Center when they would cut to the studio at halftime. I don't watch Golf Channel much, but I imagine fewer golfers will be "dropping by" in Connecticut. Tax credits or no tax credits.

 

Yep, no way they're offering to relocate anyone outside of the talking heads and corner office folks north if you're "combining resources and becoming more transparent." I doubt the Florida-based employees are members of AFTRA or NABET. If NBC already has enough behind-the-scenes people in Stamford, they'll offer the standard termination.

That probably goes for the dot-com staff as well. At one time, we were hearing that Golf Channel might scoop up the PGA of America online rights as well, but it appears that's being done in-house now (since the stories haven't been updated since October).

 

Ugh. I forgot that this is "Bear Trap" week.
