Summary
The weather has calmed a bit in Northern California, but things could be looking mucky for the influencer-palooza at the Phoenix Open. They begin with some clean up from Monday, where Pebble was called, Wyndham was declared the winner, and then he offered some candid quotes about weighing a LIV decision in the offseason. They ponder the current state of pro golf with these decisions and some of the payouts going to middling players for middling finishes. This is cause to discuss the hullabaloo around LIV’s ratings from Mayakoba: should we laugh at them or hat tip some of the jumps? Is it completely negligible against PGA Tour numbers? The schedule of the week hits on the Phoenix Open and its field after two more high profile WDs that have featured groups looking a little thin. Some one-and-done picks go chalk and off the beaten path to mix things up. They close with some more quotes from a PGA Tour star on if LIV players should be welcomed back without penalty.
