@jamierkennedy@_JohnnyMac@TheOpen He won 13 times on the pga tour in less than 4 years with all those guys around and got 1 in the world in 1999. Really thought he was gonna be a long time foe for tiger but it wasn't to be.
@EBoorom@KylePorterNS It is a good note, but likely no impact. Since LIVs first week, he has been 4th or better.
While there is legit argument that LIV players on the pga would have bumped him down some over the last 4 years, probably not reasonable he would have been pushed 7-8 spots out of top 10.
@JonnyRoot_ Check out Michael Kim's posts saying how he could have done what Rory did if he wanted to. He is always very open about this stuff.
Also, Rory in no way said he had an unfair advantage.
@adocomplete 2 is the best if it is take home pay. 10X take home is better than 10X your salary/hourly rate as those option both result in less than 10X take home due to tax structures in most places. If it is pre-tax pay, then no difference in any.
@LouStagner No carry overs from previous weeks. Consider byes to the top 50 for the top 10 regular season finishers to add incentive for regular season finish. End of week 1 and 2 would likely feature playoffs for top 50 or 24 that would add excitement even if the event was a blowout.
@LouStagner The goal shouldn't be to identify the best player. That is done over the regular season (as it is in all other mainstream sports). If playoffs are 3 weeks, should be 100 week 1, 50 week 2, and 24 week 3 -match play (1-8 get bye, 9-24 play in). Play out matches for all 16 spots.
@Junnyman10@ProGolfCritic Better question is how many non top 10 finishes they had during that stretch in other fields. Scottie had none. Rahm had several. Scottie had a true streak. Rahm had a LIV streak.
@Robopz Did you use the point distribution for this week's event for all past events?
I am not super familiar with how this works, but this week's tourney has 23 points for the winner. Niemann has won 7 times in the last 2 seasons so I thought he'd have more points than you show. Thx
@ProGolfCritic@M1nkFl0w June, 24 post when he had won the following in the previous 3 months:
1. Arnold Palmer
2. Players
3. Masters
4. RBC Heritage
5. Memorial
You'd think SOME people in their right mind could see him as number 1 after a T41 finish at the US Open? (He also won again the next week)
