“My son’s getting outdated enough now; he can stroll all 18 holes and comply with me. So it’s a blast on the market. We’re going to Spain and London, we’re going to stop over in Rome and let him see Rome for a couple of days. I find it irresistible.

“Going back to the PGA Tour schedule, there’s 40 events. For me, you pick your top 20 that you believe fit your game and so you can do that. But now at LIV, it’s tougher because it’s 14 weeks, and you’ve got to play in all 14.

“I’m the proprietor of a group. Our group sucks but we have a great emblem. I’ve a blast going to all of these locations with my household. No matter if all programs suck for you or all programs are good for you, you will have to change your recreation and attempt and work out your recreation and how you may play and assault each course, even though it may not be the course you need to play at.

User @EBHP69 spouted: “What an absolute f—— joke of a league and outlook on being a professional at anything.”
