Tony Jacklin's son Sean is currently second place in Jupiter, Florida. Am I correct in thinking there's no Scottish golfers in the field for this? I know that there were none in the running in the mini order of merit that did in the European Tour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is now, Biggar born Sean Jacklin qualified in Florida, despite a 4 over back 9 in his second round he was tied 1st on 5 under par. Qualifies for his first US Open aged 30. Ricky Fowler was -2 at the same event, missing out on a playoff for an open spot by 1 shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would normally be quite a big story considering who his dad is but maybe not so much with the LIV circus in full swing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 A couple of classic quotes from DJ: The LIV format is a "true test" of golf - you mean the 54 hole 48 man field format which includes virtually none of the top golfers in the world? "I don't want to play for the rest of my life. This gives me the opportunity to do what I want to do" - I would have thought that $74 million in career earnings plus who knows what in endorsements would have been enough for that already. Obviously his 'recreational habits' have been a tad on the expensive side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 DJ effectively semi retiring, a dozen LIV events and the US Open and Masters for a few years until he gets bored completely. He was undoubtedly the best golfer in the world 2019-2020, but his star is clearly waning and for a guy who's main asset was length off the tee, I think his drop off would come quicker than others. I don't think he would have fallen off a cliff, but there's all these young studs on tour now who have 15-20 years on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 This whole LIV thing is just nonsensical. Best ignored. On to the real golf - carried on my regular thing now of playing my best golf when I'm out just having a casual knock myself. Net 60 today, eight under, with no score worse than a double bogey and not a single three putt on the card. 17 - SEVENTEEN - shots better than the last summer league card I put in... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian1 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Utter crap names (although one is pretty much my middle name.....) I always wanted this to fail but this has just strengthened that feeling. However, I have the feeling that the Saudi's will keep throwing money at this for some time yet. Can Newcastle United fans anticipate a change of name to Newcastle Fire Balls? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 [emoji38] Go Hy Flyers! How long do we give this before the money runs out? What a load of garbage it is.Rumours are they have committed a minimum of 2 billion dollars to it, but have spent nigh on 350 million of that to get DJ and Phil signed up.Really not sure how the major involvement will go. Obviously some players have lifetime exemptions for some of them, but if either no or very few OWGR points are assigned to the LIV events then it will be very hard for guys to qualify. Normally ranking points for a tourney are based on strength of field, so the LIV ones should be very low, if the OWGR choose to recognise them at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
