2016-2017 PGA Tour Thread - Page 41 - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

Is this the only post on the PGA championship? I expect a historic low tv ratings. The general public, let alone most golfers, don't know any of the leaders.

what did viewership numbers end up being? IDK why you would think golfers/golf fans wouldn't know the names on the leaderboard though.

RYDER CUP hero Patrick Reed is the lowest ranked player in the world in the top 6 and he is ranked 21st. 6 guys in the top 21 in the world (were all top 28 before this week) is a pretty stacked leaderboard and Matsuyama has been back and forth between #2 and #3 recently.

Thomas's 17th hole was just amazing. Ice water in his veins.

PGA is riding the relics of American domination of golf in the 1950s/1960s. There is no reason today why the American PGA should be rewarded such a high status in an international game.

The players has more of a feel of a major than the PGA.

#809 Hunter Mahan two strokes out of the lead. Remember when he was a Ryder Cupper? He married that Cowboy cheerleader and it all went to hell.

Must have been the ghost of Bob Rosburg. He was the best at these, regardless of whose upcoming shot he was looking at.

"He's absolutely dead." "He has no shot at all." "He can't possibly reach the green from here." Somehow every player was not only better than Rosburg, he was better than Rosburg imagined himself as being in his prime.

Na always looks ashen and if he were on the absolute verge of a nervous breakdown.

ollie had some serious rungood off the hospitality tent and did everything he could. that 1 iron shot he has is pretty cool.

henrik had to play extremely well down the stretch to win. think he birdied 4 of the last 6.
