Just a heads up for @RyderCupEurope . NY (and US) golf fans keep receipts. Don't act "shocked" in two years when y'all gotta come to Bethpage Black. Those fans are gonna make Philly Eagles fans look like church mice.

Tiger Woods being alive and able to grow old with his family is the CAKE. Playing golf with Charlie and competitively again is the ICING. Playing in the Masters and making the weekend is the big fat a$$ delicious CHERRY on top. #ScoreDontMatter #WeAllWon #LetsEatCake.

People have ZERO idea what led up to thisā¦ NONE. If you believe this caddie just took it upon himself to do this on the last hole, you have no idea who that man is or his history on the bag. Maybe you should ask his last 3 bossesā¦.
A caddie trying to put a player off in the #RyderCup. Told to stop and move away first, then comes back for seconds waving his hat. Thereās simply no way to defend that kind of behaviour from Joey. But Iām sure Iām about to get a lot of comments doing exactly that.

A friend asked me, "Where was all the angst and rage about Saudi golf when LPGA Tour players and stars played there last week? They took the money just like the guys and no one was screaming about them. Hell, they put it on tv!" I didn't have an answer for my friend. Anyone?.

In all seriousness, @BandonDunesGolf make sure that caddie (who apparently only has about a year of resort caddying experience) doesnāt lose his job! When I come for my first trip, I want him on my bag. I have LOTS of caddie stories to share as we walk those fairways.

Yelling or saying, "Brooksie" to Bryson DeChambeau will now be considered disrespectful from now on can result in expulsion from a tournament. This directly from Commissioner Jay Monahan. It's become an issue of being disrespectful to the players and the game.

Sungjae Im is probably drawing inspiration from his father. Who caddied the Par 3 contest Wednesday. 9th tee Sungjae said his father is very shy, wouldn't swing. We begged & pleaded. It worked, Mr Im hit the shot, AND FLUSHED IT!! Crowd went nuts, Sungjae almost cried with pride.

ā. once the player begins to take a stance FOR THE STROKE. ā kinda obvious he was not taking a stance to make a stroke at the ball. I gonna need someone at the @USGA to explain the term āspirit of the gameā to me. Hey @PGATOUR new local rule please, call it āCommon Senseā.
This is ridiculous. the fact this is a penalty is mind blowing. @USGA this NEEDS to be changed ASAP. there is nothing about this rule that makes the game better.
