My partner and I tried to recreate a scene from a steamy romance novel. It ended with us both cracking up over the ridiculous dialogue and deciding to write our own version😚
The Dynamic Duo of nonsense.
And barely a word from digital antenna NBC😒
HIDEKI MATSUYAMA🇯🇵🗾🥉
Its golf channel…..yak yak yak
Scheffler crying during the ceremony is a schizophrenia from the evil one. The nations aren't great! The world isn't great!
I prefer it when the amateurs played in the Olympics.
Is Rex pumping major iron in those tight assed polo shirts. Dude looks like a Greek God statue.
Jon Rahm choked big time in the back-9, so did Xander.
Ryan, you got it wrong! Vijay Singh's 2004, when he won nine times, including a major championship. That is better than the years you mentioned.
There are many Olympic events and golf isn't.
Rombo should have never put on that stupid looking high school letterman jacket, take a picture with the idiot skark, and join the boat cruise putt putt league!! He's lost it for good.
Cough… Liv golf… is F1 of golf. Solo, team, music, fun, drinks.
New golfer here. pga is boring as hell
Literally no reason to watch
US open cool
The open cool
Masters cool
Pga anything … nursing home
F1 has the podium ceremony. Let's start that with golf, on the PGA Tour, LIV, DP and everything else. These players that keep getting top 3s/podiums deserve their limelight.
Let’s bring back runner-up trophies!
Why all this cynical hate? It was a great day with lots of drama and at the end Scottie crying on the podium. Feeling bad for Jon and Xander, but that is how it goes…
It was an amazing thing to watch. Even the way they continued to introduce the groups each day, and there were 30 people deep for the big groups. I do feel for Pavon though being his national olympics, and he crashed and burned but it was good.
Embarrasing commentary along the way. I mean on day 4 of the Olympics golf tournament people are saying Kim Tom, and Matsuyama Hideki….maybe grasp the concept of First Name, Last Name. Especially since Tom Kim lives in Dallas, and has for a long time.
I think they need to trim the field. How about get rid of the bottom 10 players after Round 2, and then get rid of the remaining bottom 5 lets say after Round 3. There is no point watching someone who's 15 shots out with 18 holes to play. Every sport has some sort of pool play, and elimination rounds, so why not introduce that.
Funny that Lav thought pro golf should change to a podium finish, cause I thought the same exact thing
Well done Scottie, Tommy and Hideki. Great finish. Allowing PGA of America to set up the course made it too easy.
Great pod as usual.
LIV golf is like dating a stripper. Fun for a while but without substance
The only thing with this whole “changing the format” talking point is, most if not all other sports don’t change their format for the competitions. 72 hole stroke play is the traditional format and that’s what the Olympics try to stick with for the most part
Golf knocked it out of the park
It was telling after all the controversy of these Olympics all the bosses of the IOC were in attendance for the final day, golf is pure, really great tournament
Olympic golf is now a major imo
Valderrama as much as i love it, is not good preparation for The Open
For the mixed team, you do not have to have the same golfers. Just add other golfers from the mens and womens competition.
You can't have a formula one style format coz the fields change every week in golf and you can't keep a points system beyond the FEDEX points system. F1 is just 20 competitors for 13 events the whole year and not everything there is transferrable to a golf tour. I think the current golf format is doing just fine. Every tournament gives up its own challenges and everyone in field has as good a chance as any other player.
