Did Tiger Woods send Jason Day a congratulatory text after his remarkable victory at the Byron Nelson last week? Absolutely. Is Jason Day going to tell you what that text said? Absolutely not
Ahh, Tuesday of a major championship week. The day of talking, questioning and offering takes. I actually heard someone on Golf Channel today say that players might want to take Oak Hill’s “mowing patterns” of the fairways into account off-the-tee this week. True story.
In 2015, Jason Day was on top of the golf world. The Australian star had won five times on the PGA Tour, including a maiden major at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. He also made his debut as World No.1 later that year.
The PGA of America announced its field for next week’s PGA Championship, a field of 155 (with one spot saved for the winner of the AT&T Byron Nelson Winner) that features 18 LIV Golf members. But there’s one LIV Golf player who won’t be there, and his absence breaks an impressive streak.
When the 2022 PGA Championship played out last May at Southern Hills in Oklahoma, the idea of a “LIV Golf” as a formidable, viable threat to the PGA Tour and the ways of the professional game seemed a bit fantastical.
This is the time of the year where the PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) of America vs PGA Tour confusion reaches its peak. Confusion reigns about what golf’s other main bodies do, too.
Ninety-nine of the top 100 players in the Official World Golf Ranking are listed in the field, with Will Zalatoris the only one missing as he is not competing due to recent back surgery.
