Jon Rahm major record for 2022: Masters 27, PGA Championship 48, U.S. Open 12, Open Championship 34
Jon Rahm has gone off the boil in the past.
Soly and the Schusters are the best podcast trio
164 years Soly…the 1st Open was played 3 weeks before Abraham Lincoln was elected US President.
Neil should the Miami/Dade Hard Rock Stadium Security Detail for the Block Party…it's only fitting.
The PGA should travel around the world. America shouldn’t have 3 majors and the PGA could be a lot more interesting if it went outside America and GB&I
They need to go back to making guys qualify every year for it even if they won the previous year. That'd be sick.
EDIT: How can you hesitate on winning 2 majors? They are the measuring stick that every pro golfer is defined by. Tiger's personal measuring stick for being the greatest was Jack's number of major wins. Wins without majors are for dudes like Greg Norman and DL3. Those guys are not talked about in the same breath as Tiger, Jack, or Arnie. They aren't even Faldo or Brooks or Watson or Player.
Hurricane Rory Party 2024
Soly took Rory, no way!
TC how many hats do you own im curious?
Block party changing hands 3 times in 3 majors is tough but I’ve been attending for years and you know I’ve got my VIP pass
The 1995 open that Daly won with the streaker, which is just so British by the way, has one of the great moments in open golf history. How do you not mention Rocca holing a putt from the valley of sin to force a playoff? You guys look old enough – did you not watch it the time?
