What’s your hatred for Bryson?
As I said, I'm OK with Bryson, I guess. It's just that he tries to be ingratiating to everyone, and doesn't see little things that he does that might irritate others. Then he compounds the situation by either denying that a problem exists, or he doubles down.

I can't quite forget the little feud he had, probably still has, w/ Koepka. But I'm willing to change my opinion of him. I just don't think it will be anytime soon.

Bryson has grown up big time and he deserves credit for it.

It's also time to get this LIV/PGA merger stuff settled so that we get the best in the world playing together again.
You mean Koepka and DeChambeau on the Ryder Cup team? Well DeChambeaux anyway. That would be fun again.

Yeah I think folks that are starting to either “like” or at least consider not rooting against him are started to see that he’s made huge strides in his growth out of pure idiot young doucher. He legit appears to have changed A LOT as a person in the last 12 - 24 months.

He’s still got his quirks but he’s almost more of just a giant dork now as opposed to doucher.

I truly believe the people that still think he’s 100% doucher just haven’t paid attention to his growth.

Testifying
Sounds like Bryson took a zillion photos with fans. Course shut off the lights and he's still out there.

I was trying to imagine today what that will look like. I'm guessing that a certain number of dates per year will be reserved for LIV events, and in those weeks, the PGA would have only a minor tournament to allow the best players to play in those LIV events.

That would make too much sense.

Right now an image just popped into my head that the LIV is like the B1G/SEC, the league with all the money (Saudis), and the PGA is the struggling Big 12/ACC, fighting for survival.

Will the two ever come to a mutually advantageous agreement, something that is good for the sport, good for all? Or will one league win and take it all?

Back to reality.

And he filled up the trophy with Pinehurst No. 2 sand!

Come on, this is what all the winners do after dark!

Bryson is the only LIV guy I can stand. I know he got alot of money, but his move to LIV just feels different to me. He's a unique guy that wanted to be a part of something new. And it's been a smart move for him to be in control of his own content with everything he's doing on social media.

Just being on LIV alone is reason enough to hate someone. That league is absolutely disgusting. Everything about it basically. Totally selling your soul... dignity... and any integrity you may have had if you join it. It's not even a competitive league... so why would anyone watch it?
Ya - I bet you'd totally say no to 100 million.

The last few majors have been very intense on Sunday. Fun major golf.

The LIV/PGA division has been great drama for majors. I know alot of people lament we can't see these guys in the same field during non-majors, and I get that. But the drama in the ones that count, knowing we don't get this for another month, makes it all the more intriguing.

Off the grid
Fun day of golf yesterday. I forget about Bryson until he pops up in a major. I just never see him play or hear about him.

The PGA isn't exactly super competitive right now either. Let's be honest, there a group of about 15-20 golfers that define themselves by their performances in majors, and use their respective tours as a way to pay the bills. The rest of the tours are average guys trying to make paychecks. Whether it's LIV or PGA, it's really similar setups at both the top and the bottom.
