Date: July 27th, 2025 11:20 AM Author: transparent shaky pit Must be. I don’t understand how there could be $0 prize money for half the guys in any given field when these tournaments are making billions. I get you want to incentivize guys to perform, but there’s enough pressure with just keeping your your card that these guys aren’t gonna slack off.

Date: July 27th, 2025 12:25 PM Author: Primrose circlehead It’s fine I suppose. Not like it changes my life in any way. The LIV format (shotgun start, 3 rounds, teams) isn’t compelling to me and I do wish they would unify in some way. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5755129&forum_id=2).#49134617) |
