The weekend brought more laughs, quirks, and reality from the golf community.

Max Homa gets brutally honest…again, Pat Perez apparently needs a 12-step program for his Air Jordan obsession, and the prize $$$ amounts have shifted since 1995..like, a lot.

A win in 1995 equals a T3 now…

Oh, how the times have changed (thank you, Tiger), and the differences are even more staggering on the big show. Rory’s $2.25 million payout at the ’19 Players represents 75 percent of the total prize money is ’95.

If this quarantine goes apocalyptic, I’m going to Jimmy’s house…

Steaks, whiskey, rifles, 4X4’s, Titleist gear, and telescopes…all I need is a bunch of Big Red gum and I’m good.

A B S O L U T E savagery…

Max Homa holds back for no man…and oddly enough it’s still endearing and we all love him even more.

Trust the process…

This training aid will “kick in” when my glutes fire…it’s a six-month thing. That’s the ball fading gently into the fence… I feel you, brother.

Gas: $165
Entry Fee: $130
Lounge Pass for caddie: $50
Gym: $0
Yardage book: $0
Total expenses: $3672

Made cut, finished 54th, total earned: $1244 Factor in 35% tax on earnings. To break even, needed to finish 24th. To make money, 21st. Guess we have our goals laid out for next event!”

When factoring in Gregg’s free housing, free caddie and free rental car, it’s evident that most LET players would have to finish well inside of the top-20 to make any money.

With ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around in professional golf these days, it’s important to remember the other side of the coin as well. There are countless professionals out there who struggle to get by on their golf salary.

After a seventeen-month application process, a 54-hole golf tour was deemed eligible for OWGR points.

Unfortunately, for LIV Golf and their fans, it was the Clutch Pro Tour.

After the decision, which is effective immediately, OWGR chairman Peter Dawson issued a statement.

“This is a significant milestone for golf, and OWGR is deeply encouraged by the achievement and the continued efforts in developing the sport of golf in the United Kingdom.”

“We look forward to watching the progress of the Clutch Pro Tour as it continues to play a key role in the development of players from the region,” Dawson added.

Charlie Woods attempting to qualify for spot at 2024 U.S. Open

As first reported by Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated, Charlie Woods will be attempting to qualify for this year’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

The first stage of qualifying for this year’s tournament will be an 18-hole local event on Thursday, April 25th, in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

There will be 84 players in the field, five of which will reach the 36-hole qualifier that will take place in June.

Earlier this season, Charlie attempted to qualify for the Cognizant Classic, and struggled, shooting an 86.

If the younger Woods is able to qualify, he will tee it up in the same field as his father in a few months at one of the more historic U.S. Open venues.
