LIV Golf and Henrik Stenson
The losers? The PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. The LIV Golf event at Bedminster was impressive and very entertaining. The addition of David Feherty as a commentator was a nice one and he was very funny.
Despite the fact that Tony Finau won the PGA Tour Rocket Mortgage for his second consecutive PGA Tour win , Henrik Stenson’s win at the LIV Golf event was more meaningful as much as a bigger statement.
All the credit to Finau, for the second week in a row he decimated a weak field. At the Rocket Mortgage Patrick Cantlay, 4th in the official world golf rankings, was the highest-ranking player in the field.
LIV Golf had more Major champions in the field in 54 holes of golf than the PGA Tour had in 144 holes of golf between the 3M Championship and the Rocket Mortgage. So much for LIV Golf weak fields and “has been” players.
I was wondering where McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Scheffler have been hiding for the past two weeks. Ah yes, I forgot, they do not play these little tournaments. Of course, they trash LIV Golf while claiming they are all about the PGA Tour. They can spare me their hypocrisy.
Despite all the haters, LIV Golf was entertaining. Watching Henrik Stenson win the tournament, after been stripped of his European Ryder Cup Team captaincy, was something to see. He is not nicknamed the “Iceman” for no reason.
He was steady and played flawless golf. As he said during his post victory interview, he played “like a captain.” An obvious jab at the DP World Tour for their decision.
Another successful LIV Golf event and another egg on the face of the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.
Enjoy the omelet boys!
