The obsession with having a playoff went too far when it included golf. There isn't a perfect (or even good) way to do it because it just doesn't work in golf... not the least because the purpose of the playoff in golf is merely to distribute money and not to determine any sort of champion.
The #1 player in the world and the one leading the "playoffs" by an obscene amount called the whole thing silly. He's right.
He needed to pay for his braces???

As if anyone needed another reason to hate Keegan Bradley, his aim point shenanigans on putts inside 4 feet really seal it.
I don’t hate Keegan but aim point and whatever they call walking in your line with your feet and saying u feel a break is total horse shit. Watch Max Homa. Looks like a two year old with a load in his pants. And still misses the putts. Line it up from behind the hole and hit it for Christ sake. You are pros and you don’t need all of that other shit. You are making it way harder for every day players to play a round in under half a day. People watch you take 15 minutes on every green.
The only thing dumber than the way these guys line up their putts is giving the number one guy a minus 10 score to start the tour championship. Everyone should start even like a regular tournament. PGA Tour has really shit the bed in the way they changed the fed ex cup process.
Well then he should also not lose the Fed EX because a guy gets hot and wins 1 tournament. If it was just points based, he would have been so far ahead, this would have been over already and no need to play the final tournament, other than competing for the purse because nobody would catch him. Same as in NASCAR under old rules, drivers would have a huge point lead and the final race was useless other than competing for THAT race, title was already decided in most years.
They can do better and if I gave a shit anymore I would sit down and draw up a plan and send it to the great commissioner but I don’t care that much anymore. Can’t stand to see those signature events and the rich getting richer. Golf is losing viewers daily.
I’m sure that doesn’t take inflation into account. Where Nicholas 5.7M probably worth >20M now.
But yeah it’s true across all sports. TV revenue has blown up, at the same some the % athletes get has increased. I remember I think in the 80’s when top sports stars first started getting million dollar contracts. I think I’ve read where many players in the 50’s had off-season jobs. Could you imagine now LeBron or Scheffler pulling into your driveway to try and sell you insurance during off-season.
Pretty sure I recall reading that 1 of the Baltimore Colts starters quit after the 1958 NFL championship and became a Baltimore police officer.
