About the author

Tom Edrington

Tom Edrington spent the first 10 years of his misguided youth as a sports writer for the Tampa Tribune. His career brought him face to face with many of sports greatest stars -- Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Don Shula, countless Hall of Fame NFL stars, more PGA Tour players than he can count. In 1980 he was honored by the Golf Writers Association of America for writing the best news story that year, his coverage of Jack Nicklaus' U.S. Open victory at Baltusrol. Today, 36 years later, golf is still a great part of his life, thanks to competitive playing days and the wonderful people he has met on this fabulous journey.

    But there is no incentive to win this exhibition. Rory will earn $33k just for turning up and running last 🙂

      What’s at stake Forky, is something that all European Tour players want on their trophy case — the Harry Vardon Trophy — which signifies the holder as the No. 1 player on the European Tour……please take your LIV-loving to your nearest pub and see if anyone cares.

    Tongue in cheek Tom.. Not a liv lover, am a golf lover. Had a great day today watching the dp world tour final. But I can see through all the propaganda put out by the pga tour and it’s shills. Im never one to pass up an opportunity for a little dig to point out some of the hypocracy/ holes in some of their arguments.

      I decided I needed another Trans-Atlantic take on LIV, spotted a pal from Scotland in the grocery store today and asked him what he thought about LIV — in that thick Scottish brogue, he replied: “It’s sh-a-a-a-a-t!” — need I interpret for you?

        Let me guess.. your scottish pal is north of 70 years old lol. Meanwhile, a couple of weeks back my son played in a scramble to wrap up the season. All the kids were fighting about which team could be the crushers, fireballs, 4Aces (not a lot of love for the cleeks or niblicks though ) Kids are our future golf fans. Right now watching a pga tour event is 30 mins in the hour of ads for viagra and entresto.. for kids it’s unwatchable. Liv don’t care that a 70 year old thinks their product is shaaat.. that’s not their audience.

          LIV won’t be around when those kids are playing high school golf.
