GolfWRX Forum Thread of the Day: How many “regular” PGA wins equal a “major” win?

Published

on

Today’s GolfWRX Forum Thread of the day comes from our members discussing the Player of the Year. Commenting on major wins compared to regular Tour wins, our members talk about Koepka’s two-major season, and what it would take for a different player to beat him out of the title. “How many regular Tour events equals one major win?”

Here are a few comments from the forum, but make sure to check the whole thing out in the link below:

  • johnseg: “Tough call for me. I like to see guys dominate. So I would put a 6 win guy ahead of a guy with two majors.”
  • FootWedge16: “In fact, I think there are a number of people on this forum that would rather have Koepka’s career (4 wins and 3 majors) than Dustin Johnson’s career (19 wins and 1 major). Which is completely ridiculous.”
  • c7015: “I want to say like 5-6 but in reality, no amount of regular wins replace a major … just ask the people in the tiger vs jack thread”

    I’m sure there are guys in the “a lot of wins but no Major” category that would trade a LOT of those wins for just one Major.

    Masters = 7
    US Open = 6
    Open = 5
    PGA= 4

    It is probably around the 5 win number but it’s a tricky question because if you are more of a average pro then you’ll take the 5 wins. If you are a stud you’ll take the majors.

Why Ludvig Aberg is my new favorite player – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing one of the new sensations in the world of golf – Ludvig Aberg. The 24-year-old finished solo second at the Masters a couple of weeks ago, and gained many plaudits, including from several WRXers.

One member, RoyalMustang, took to the forums to explain why Aberg is now their favorite player, saying:

“I loved the way the Ludvig was out there, having a great time, not taking himself or the situation too seriously. Even after the double at 11, he was like “well, that’s golf!” Loose and relaxed: that’s the way to play. It’s obvious he loves what he’s doing, he loves the big moments, and he loves being a part of it all.

Arnold Palmer was viewed that way. Just like Brooks Robinson was forever viewed as not just a great baseball player, but a great human being and friend to Baltimore.”

And our members have been reacting and sharing their positive takes on the young Swede.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • redfirebird08: “Ludvig has a great attitude, a great smile, and a great golf swing.”
  • otto6457: “I’m very lucky to have talked with Ludde several times at the Rawls Course at Texas Tech.  He’s a truly nice guy and very friendly.  Always said hello when we passed each other in the club house and was always smiling. Watching him hit balls on the range was a joy.  He has “that sound” and trajectory to die for.  There were many times he was out on the range in 30+ mph winds just hitting the most beautiful shots that just seemed to ignore the wind.  World class ball striker. And yes……..I am a fan boy.”
  • konklifer: “I like him. In an era of endless waggles and laboring, his swing and pace of play are a joy to watch.
