The Continuous Trip Down Irrelevancy Road

Another week and another opportunity for Brandel Chamblee to make a fool of himself on national television.

On Monday’s episode of Live From The PGA Championship, Chamblee went on a full frontal attack against Phil Mickelson and LIV Golf.

Along with Rich Lerner and Paul McGinley, they were discussing Phil Mickelson’s recent Twitter spat with the USGA and his use of vulgar language. Seriously? Vulgar language?

Chamblee went on to say Mickelson was riding a high after his second place finished at The Masters and that was one of the reasons why he was going after the “establishment.”

He stated that Tiger Woods, not Phil Mickelson, was responsible for the increase in PGA Tour purses. This is laughable to say the least. Phil Mickelson sounding the horn on the PGA Tour alleged financial shenanigans and the emergence of LIV Golf were part of the reasons why the Tour came up with all the changes and increase in purses.

As he went on, Chamblee insinuated Augusta National was a hacker’s paradise.

He alleged Mickelson’s second place finish at The Masters was expected because Augusta National is where, and I am paraphrasing, ‘has been’ golfers go for a second wind, including the likes of Jack Nicklaus in 1986. Say what?

He continued to spew his normal garbage about how LIV Golf was losing lawsuits and players were not happy. According to Chamblee, Mickelson made a lot of promises he did not fulfilled and players were complaining about it.

I do not know where Chamblee is getting his bad information, but LIV Golf players are pretty happy and people are watching more and more.

He continued to ramble about Mickelson, insider trading, and all kind of nonsense that had nothing to do with golf, nor golf fans care about.

Chamblee’s LIV Golf Derangement Syndrome is real and it only continues to make him look like small and irrelevant.
