Extreme Sims: Memorial Tournament 🧋
Muirfield Village sticks out due to its long approaches, tough scoring, big penalty for missing the fairway, and faaaast bent poa greens.
🇳🇴 Reitan! The sims continue to adore the Norwegian. He’s an elite driver but not sure I trust him as much as my sims do. Rory should be above him for sure.
💤 Knapp is back. Model does not over penalize injury so I would probably drop him lower if making manual adjustments.
👉Si Wooo has strong course history and great 2026 form. I would say the sims are too low on him.
🫅Spieth has some solid rounds at Jacks Place and he’s a wizard on speedy slopes greens. He’s passed the eye test in recent months and the sims are finally giving him some win equity!
Rory at Muirfield Village: 0 of 30 rounds where he gained at least 2 strokes off the tee.
Rory Career: Gains 2+ OTT in 12% of his rounds. So you’d expect 4 of those rounds at MVGC.
My theory is just too many forced 3woods so he can’t unleash enough. Perhaps that’s why he’s still hunting for his first win at Jack’s Place.
@GritGrowthCap Definitely. With my screenshot I was trying to show he’s hit more fairways than the field in 6 of his last 10 so he’s not always a wild man

No sponsored events or mid season promotions? Guess that means completely different season long points lists too? It continues to just sound like rebranding the Korn Ferry Tour as Track 2
New report from @RexHoggardGC today on the track system.
Among other things: "The current plan is to not have sponsor exemptions or mid-season promotions from Track 2 into Track 1 events. Despite some push back from players, the Tour also looks to limit access for Track 1 players into Track 2 events." https://t.co/t8fWYgz8Vh
Xander Schauffele and Alex Smalley have each finished the first round inside the top-10 on six different occasions this year.
It's the most of anyone in this field. Despite their fast starts, both are still looking for their first win.
@dan_back Agreed… I haven’t looked too much into the details of this new proposed system honestly but I would certainly hope they don’t lock players out of Tier 1
This sounds like a huge mess. Also, are players allowed to play their way into Tier 1 events during the season or are they stuck in Tier 2 there until the following year?
This Stout-Koivun semifinal matchup reminds me of when JT and Spieth faced off in the NCAA final at Riviera in 2012. Spieth beat JT that day to lead Texas to the NCAA title.
Here's an excerpt from the oral history I did a few years ago:
Texas, though, was not void of last-minute motivation either. The morning of Sunday’s final, Thomas was named recipient of the Nicklaus Award, one of two college-specific player-of-the-year awards. He had also won the Phil Mickelson Award over Spieth as the nation’s top freshman, and he’d later take home the Haskins, another player-of-the-year honor.
Whitsett: “Great competitors will find anything for some bulletin-board material, and a guy like Spieth doesn’t really get a lot of that. So, anytime you get a little morsel to get an edge, why not use it?”
Scott Limbaugh, Alabama assistant coach: “Jordan got to have the intangibles. That’s the one player that Jordan could’ve played where Jordan gets to be the underdog. That stuff freaking matters, and anybody that thinks that it doesn’t ain’t done it. Jordan got to feel like the underdog in that match with something to prove.”
Thomas: “It could’ve [motivated Jordan]. But I fully expected to win that award. He had a great season, but I felt like I had a better season. Looking back, I wish it would’ve maybe happened after the fact so he wouldn’t have maybe played so fierce.”
Ryan Murphy, Texas assistant coach: “I don’t think there’s any question that announcement motivated Jordan.”
Spieth: “Absolutely. But I think neither one of us needed any extra motivation. We wanted to beat each other really bad. We’d been playing against each other since we were young, and at that point in time we didn’t speak a ton. I mean, we were friends, but just from junior golf. We weren’t like talk-every-day kind of friends. It was, go hard at each other and try to beat each other down as best we can.”
