The Rumor Mill

While there’s nothing so sordid to be TMZ-worthy in our “Industry rumors heard today” thread, it’s nevertheless an interesting buffet of overheards.

Presently 11 pages long, current discussion focuses around rumors surrounding Adidas’ departure from the golf business and implications for subsidiary TaylorMade.

There are a few sizzling takes on the situation, including SilverBullet’s on page 10.

Definitely a thread to bookmark if you’re into speculation and potential storylines in the world of golf.

Joe LaCava under the microscope

In our Tour Talk forum, Tiger Woods’ caddie gets a GolfWRX-level of analysis, which is to say, hard questions he’s not facing elsewhere.

Thread starter vegas005 lead off, in part, with this:

“He seems to just carry the bag and hand out clubs while his player is clearly struggling with his game. Thoughts?”

Replies, of course, debate the nature and variety of caddying on the PGA Tour, look at LaCava’s past work and Woods’ relationships with previous caddies Steve Williams and Fluff Cowan.

Is the spectator experience at a professional golf event worth it? 

Sure, if someone offered you a ticket to the Masters, you’d go, but what about the average event?

Or faced with the choice between watching, say, the final round of last week’s PGA Championship with numerous players in the hunt in the comfort of your living room or struggling to traverse Whistling Straits amid heavy galleries to see the Jason Day/Jordan Spieth group that eventually produced the winner, which would you choose?
