I like Sam Burns, Zalatoris, and Ancer.
DeChambeau vs Koepka

- Start date
I don’t watch Golf anymore ... ( response to all our NFL and NBA threads) . Just kidding . I’ve never watched or played a round of golf in my life . Watching paint dry is more exciting to me . I think Mark Twain said it best “Golf is just a walk wasted”
Completely disagree, sports thrive on villains. No villains equals boring cookie cutter corporate types.
I guess we çan agree to disagree. I personally do not want to watch a game like golf dealing with people acting like brats and nitpicking at each other. There is to much of this in other sports. Golf is a “gentlemen’s game”. And should stay that way
it was DJ and they were supposedly friends before that... havent had any use for koepka since.. not that i have any for bryson either
I love playing golf, and I can play fairly decent, upper 70s if a few putts go in, low 80s if they don’t. I love attending professional events. But television? Up until very recently, barring a “happening” like this past weekend, if Tiger Woods wasn’t playing I’d rather do yard work than sit in front of the tv watching robots. BD has changed that, for me; he’s like Aaron Pryor back in the golden 80s of boxing. I didn’t particularly “like” Pryor, but he had a unique style and attitude that made each fight a spectacle; SOMEBODY was going down in spectacular fashion.
I think you make a great point.
Different life experiences than the older generations.
I honestly think it’s hysterical what Koepka is doing - kind of like the one guy at work who isn’t afraid to call out the annoying guy that drives everyone else crazy.
It started with the slow play comment, but DeChambeau raised the stakes by commenting about Koepka being out of shape and not even having any abs - to which Koepka posted a picture his 4 major trophies and said “you’re right, I’m 2 short of a six pack”.
That rolling eyes video a couple of days ago was funny to me.

Koepka was whing about the wind and the impact to his putts
It's clear he is able to dish out the jabs but can't them when they are returned. An eye roll from a grown because Bryson walked by him and may have said something? He needs to grow a pair.
Here are the latest tweets. Can't argue with what Bryson tweeted.
Sorry bro @AaronRodgers12," Koepka tweeted, seemingly for Rodgers having to be paired with DeChambeau.
DeChambeau responded, directly to Koepka: "@BKoepka It's nice to be living rent free in your head!"

Old Row is selling Team Brooks and Team Bryson shirts, this definitely helps the game with young dudes. Old Row is a cool site.
I like both guys. I’d pay $50 for a PPV boxing match between the guys.
This is a pretty funny tweet from B.D.

@TomBrady, once @AaronRodgers12 and I take down you and @PhilMickelson, you will feel just as deflated as those balls were in the AFC Championship game.

Brooks just had his knee worked on like 2 months ago… He was the “older” of the two this weekend TBH.
The wind was tougher on his putts than the others in the field.
I don't like the feuding. It doesn't add a thing to the game. I prefer watching guys have fun, joking around and generally showing that they can play outstanding golf but still care more about others and the good of the game itself than themselves. But having said that, I recognize that this is the way things are right now. It is a post-civil world.

That's a short list. There are others. If there was any hostility among these guys you would never know it from their public persona.
The bad boys in golf have come along in the last 10-15 years.

Now this is hilarious. Bryson posted to Instagram living rent free in Keopka's head. Koepka started something he can't finish. I would love to see them paired together. B.D. would have fun with it. Koepka would be miserable.

I think it's great! I am already a fan of the game but this has my interest. Two rich guys trying to win the court of public opinion by throwing insults at each other via social media.
Everyone knows Gary Woodland is by far,the best ”athlete” on tour(he played college basketball) and if you mean..who wins in a fight?” athletisism translates well and i,d take woodland. ALL DAY...koepka just comes off as a jerk to me,period. And i love his game,but i just don’t like the guy...
Same here. I would pull for Patrick Reed over Koepka.
I'm in the minority, I pull for PR. Like his fire and determination. I hope he can handle past situations more professionally. I will get blasted for this, but I don't consider his past transgressions as "cheating". Pushing the envelope, yes.
My brother sent me this. Can’t decipher all of it but I get the point.
Someone posted this about the Ryder cup.
Bryson: hates Brooks; everyone hates him
Brooks: hates Bryson, DJ, golf
PReed: hates golf; everyone hates him
Spieth: hates PReed, fairways
DJ: hates Brooks, golf
Finau: hates winning
JT: hates cold weather
X, Morikawa, DB, Cantlay, Zalatoris, Burns: Rookies
22-6 might be closer

I think a lot of these guys take every advantage the rules allow and it causes some snippy comments, that probably get overblown, ie reeds issues and brysons pace of play! I loved the jack and arnie era, but now any given week you could roll off 20-30 names that could actually win a tournament and to me that is much more exciting! Also, most of these guys are around 30 and younger, as competitive as they are it’s going to be hard for some tail feathers not to get ruffled and for some jabs to be thrown, I don’t mind it a bit as long as it doesn’t cross the line!
Nobody could be as slow as Faldo was. ... I quit pulling for Koepka when I saw a pic of him posing in front of a camera in his speedos ... What’s up with Shauffalee? Has he done something to peeve off anybody? ... NASCAR went west, made all the cars look alike = Lost their southern base. Now they go to gimmicks - hauling in dirt, the Roval, changing championship system every 6/8 years. It’s the signs of a desperate organization sinking fast.
If DJ‘s not in the mix, I turn it off! He‘s by far the best player in golf right now!! However, things change with
time. Tiger was a cut above them all, in his prime, as was Nicholas, Arnie, Hogan , Snead, Player, and a host
of others. Others will rise to the top, but it won’t be Koepka or DC.
He is the most talented player, not the best player.
I took Bryson's side but he is making an ass of himself at the British Open. Koepka's in the lead on the course and in the fued.
Bryson was being the typical jerk and complaining about his driver yesterday. Said the manufacturer couldn’t get it fixed for him.
They interview Brooks today and his comment is “I love my driver.” Love it!

If I was Cobra, Bryson would not rep my clubs next week. What he did to them is beyond the pale. BTW, I have played Cobra for years. Their stuff is top shelf. They just don't do many endorsements.
Personally, I think Bryson's whole approach to the game is stupid because the golf swing has so many intricacies that it's impossible to have the exact same swing every single time. His whole scientific thing would apply if he were a robot and could replicate his swing with 100% accuracy every time but that's just not humanly possible which is why he isn't doing that well on the tour this season. Plus he's been whining way more than Brooks lately blaming his driver trying to smooth things over this caddy and just generally acting like a baby on the course

I sorta agree with what you're saying but if his goal is to maximize $$'s through endorsements etc., he has been wildly successful.
Totally agree 👍. If I were fortunate enough to be in their shoes you wouldn't here a damn negative thing from me.
Do you play? These guys on tour are ultra competitive. I am quite sure he didn't lay down for Phil!
