PGA Tour Confidential

Player Impact Program and the Rewards of Being Mediocre

By now, most of my readers know my total disdain towards the PGA Tour and its mafioso style commissioner Jay Monahan, so my next opinion blog will not be a surprise.

The $40 million dollar Player Impact Program has been clouded under ridiculous secrecy. Most people think that if it needs to be kept secret, is probably garbage, and I agree.

When you understand the purpose of the program, which is to compensate players based on them driving their fan base and sponsor engagement, you come to realize this program is nothing more than a PGA Tour welfare program.

It gives the mediocre player an opportunity to make money, not because they are a talented player, but because they can tweet the most or have the most endorsements.

I have not given the program much though until today. Tiger Woods posted a video of him on Tweeter hitting some golf balls just months after his almost fatal car accident.

Former PGA Tour player Colt Knost was quoted as saying, “So @PGATour we just need to know who finishes 2-10 on the PIP. Enjoy the 8 mil @TigerWoods.”

Seriously Knost? I do not know if he meant to be funny or cynical about it, but it was a ridiculous comment in my opinion.

So, Tiger Woods got over a million hits on Tweeter and that entitles him to make $8 million dollars? The man is lucky to be alive, which is a good thing.

After today’s frenzy, I was reminded how this indeed is a welfare program for professional golfers. Ricky Fowler has been a bust for most of the past two seasons, but he can sell you some mortgages and some beer.

He is a better advertisement agent than a golfer these days and he will probably make more money by selling stuff and tweeting than playing golf, go figure. We will never know because the PGA Tour has decided to keep the program and who gets the money a secret.

What are you ashamed of Jay? You do not want people to find out how mediocre players are going to make more money from this welfare program than on the course?

I understand in today’s society, when everyone is a victim and working hard is an afterthought, the PGA Tour had to do something to try to keep the mediocre players happy.

What kind of message the PGA Tour is sending to kids learning the game? Be a better online personality than a player? Mediocrity pays?

Jay, you and the Tour should be ashamed.

Are These People Dangerous to Your Health?

Fauci, Psaki, Biden, Walensky

As we continue to face the government induced COVID-19 hysteria, our own government continues to move the goal posts to justify their agenda.

On a Sunday CNN interview, Fauci was unable to give a clear answer when asked if booster shots were going to be necessary to classify Americans as “fully vaccinated.”

“We’re going to be following that very carefully” Fauci was quoted as saying. He went on to say the Biden administration “might modify the guidelines.”

Americans “should not be put off by the fact that as time goes by and we learn more and more about protection,” the definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ might change. That is reassuring coming from a man who has gotten it wrong from the start.

Today, if you have gotten the double doses from the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines you are considered “fully vaccinated.”  The same goes with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Unfortunately, these bureaucrats want you and me to continue to get booster after booster after booster, with no end in sight and without a logical explanation.

On another interview with ABC News, Fauci went on to say, “We’ll continue to follow the data because right now when we’re boosting people, what we’re doing is following them.” “We’re going to see what the durability of that protection is.”

Efficacy ratings are all over the place, and with the introduction of several variants, the numbers are even murkier. The only actual data on boosters is coming out of Israel and it is only about 30 days of data. That’s not enough data to make an informed decision.

In my opinion, Fauci does not know the efficacy of the vaccines, so he’s throwing garbage at the wall and see if some of it sticks.

I would love to know what “data” Fauci, and his gang are following, because their data is either faulty at best or phony at worst. It changes so much from network to network, from interview to interview, they can’t keep up with it.

In the past, the CDC Director, Rochelle Walensky has been quoted as saying the official definition of ‘fully vaccinated,’ “may” need to change in the face of booster shots availability.

What is the magic number? They do not know!

Let us keep on jabbing until the narrative is justified. It does not matter who dies in the process. After all the government and pharmaceuticals are fully exempt from responsibility and cannot be sued by victims of their experiments.

This is what happens when career bureaucrats are in charge of things they don’t understand.

Are these people dangerous to your health? You bet!
