Tour pro hits out at Bryson for not shouting ‘fore’ at WGC- FedEx St. Jude

Published

on

Bryson DeChambeau has already made headlines this week for revealing that he has not been vaccinated, nor does he have any plans for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine in the future.

Less than 24 hours later, DeChambeau struck the ire of many again when he failed to shout “Fore” after hitting an errant tee shot into a crowd of spectators during his first round at the WGC- FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

As one would expect, social media did not react fondly to Bryson’s antics. Among the latest to call out DeChambeau was none other than the 36-hole leader at the U.S. Open, Richard Bland.

Bland was one of many to weigh in, as this latest video certainly provides contrary evidence to DeChambeau’s claims last month at the Open Championship that he does in fact shout “Fore” when hitting towards a crowd of spectators.

Amidst all of the chaos of the last 48 hours, DeChambeau still fired a first round 65 to sit three back of Harris English’s first round lead at the WGC- FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

The world number seven tees off for his second round today at 11:43 a.m. eastern time, along with Cameron Smith and Dustin Johnson.

LET pro gives detailed financial breakdown of first week on tour…and the net result may shock you

Published

on

On Friday morning, Ladies European Tour player, Hannah Gregg, took to social media to share her weekly expenses playing on the LET.

“Expenses of my first week on Ladies European Tour: Flights: $2600 Work Visa: $350 

  • Food: $377 
  • Caddie: $0 because I have an amazing Fiancé 
  • Hotel: $0 because  @GregChalmersPGA sorted me host housing for the week!  
  • Rental Car: +0 because the Tour Tee guys GAVE me their car  
  • 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.

54-hole golf tour deemed eligible for OWGR points…but it’s not LIV

Published

on

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.

The Clutch Pro Tour operates in the United Kingdom and features a 36-hole cut. It also has an open qualifying school.

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

Published

on

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.
