    Climbing the golf rankings is pretty meaningless these days as many of golfs top players accomplishments competing on the worlds most lucrative tour are not being credited by the owgr for over 6 months.

    Also, golf channel before the LIv overdid the Ryder cup (and presidents) talk—considering its just one week of socializing with three days of what to many observers is the Og of “exhibition” golf for top pros. But now with so many top pros not even invited to the Ryder cup, I’m not saying don’t have the event, but talking about it everyday for two years is even more ridiculous now than ever.

    Viktor is MADE for this mayakoba event.
    Not only does his top junior girl golfer like accuracy off the tee give him a huge advantage, the paspalum grass truly does mitigate his old man hacker like short game.

    He mentioned he was a bit crossed up with his swing trying to have more shot shapes, but that he is on a better spot now. He is hungry right now.

    So while acknowledging the field in mayakoba is respectable especially compared to last weeks minor league affair in the Bahamas , all these factors combined are more than reason enough to make Viktor an easy pick for a three peat.

    And Again, despite the strong field, with the pga tour weaker overall than it’s been in decades, it’s as easy a time as ever for someone like viktor to have the pga tours first 3 peet since Stricks did it in 2011 at the prestigious John deer, wherever that is held. Just don’t expect it to have as much value in my book as when Steve did it.

    Gotta Let it go with Kuchs embarrassing moment. The two men had an arrangement. I’m not defending but they had an arrangement.

    Congrats to the Homas. That little kids gonna have a super cool dad, dats for sure.

      Baxter: Again, I limit myself to reading about two or three of your paragraphs — things get very convoluted if I try to go farther.
