Sangmoon Bae, when we were in Korea (for the 2015 Presidents Cup) and it all came down to him and it was a lot of pressure and he stepped up and performed down the stretch and then ultimately got beat. To be able to hear the splash sound just accentuates a moment all that much more, so I’m grateful that experts in the technological side of our business have been able to do what they've done. He was carrying his team while in his home country and it was pretty incredible to watch. PGATOUR.COM: How do you want to show these specific holes, in particular with the lake, the aesthetics of that? The emotion of the player himself, the emotion of the fans around, the emotion of the captains and the rest of the teammates. ROY: Technology wise, the miniaturization of all the equipment allows us to have more of it. They've done a great job changing the routing so that we'll be able to get these iconic holes on the air. And of course, all basically at the same time. I'd say by ‘95, we had our act together on how to cover the team, match play and capture everything, but there are nuances and you do learn all the time how to improve. We frame to include that in the shot. TOMMY ROY: You're playing for a team, for your captain, for your country, and because of that the pressure is ratcheted up way more than a stroke play event where you're just playing for yourself. It is his duty to capture not just the important shots, but also the emotions that are inherent with international team events.
With battle lines drawn, any chance of the two tours working together harmoniously look dead in the water.

“I definitely had the butterflies at the Shaw Classic,” Huston said. “I was starting to play pretty decent last year and then I started to have numbness and tingling in my arm and had to have the neck surgery. It was his best finish on PGA TOUR Champions since a tie for second at the SAS Championship in 2011. “The head movement thing was gone right away, but if they turn it up too much to block all of the signal it goes into a different part of your brain so your coordination is not ideal,” Huston said. “I think they do the same surgery for Parkinson’s and tremors and stuff like that.” “After a while it got to where I couldn’t even see the ball. “It was more of a tick-like head movement that I couldn’t control,” Huston said from South Dakota, where he attempted to Monday qualify for the Sanford International. I was going every few months to Gainesville to see a programmer, and they adjust the settings based on what you tell them you’re feeling. It was performed by renowned neurologist Michael Okun at the University of Florida. I’m day to day body-wise,” Huston said this week after tying for fifth at the Ascension Charity Classic. He opted to try to manage the condition without surgery. At 61 years of age, Huston finally is enjoying a bit of a career renaissance.

Mickelson, along with 10 other golfers, joined a lawsuit against the PGA Tour in August.

NAPA, Calif. – New season, new equipment, new caddie, new coach and a strong start at the Fortinet Championship for Rickie Fowler.
“The way I hit some shots and drove the ball today, it’s good feedback to just build more confidence.” I gained a lot of knowledge and I feel like I’m in a very good spot.” “I figure if I was getting all the same numbers but they were more forgiving, why make it any harder on yourself?” he said. “I couldn’t love the guy anymore, and we gave it a good run but it was almost like speaking another language in a way and it never really clicked,” Fowler said. Fowler held the 54-hole lead before finishing T-3, his best result of the season. The tournament was delayed 90 minutes due to morning fog. Fowler wasn’t the only one to get off to a hot start at the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed layout. Last week, Fowler confirmed reports that he also ended a relationship of more than three years with swing instructor John Tillery, and he switched into a more forgiving version of Cobra irons this week for good measure. “I missed a 10-foot putt on No. Fowler is one stroke off the early lead set by S.H. If anyone needed a re-boot, it was Fowler, who last won at the 2019 WM Phoenix Open and barely snuck into the first playoff event at No. When his season ended in Memphis, he decamped to Baker’s Bay in the Bahamas and decompressed for five days.

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman said Thursday that his venture has “no interest” anymore in trying to negotiate with an unresponsive PGA Tour.
[Agence France-Presse](https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220915-liv-golf-s-norman-has-no-interest-in-talking-to-pga-tour)), Norman said that as he was helping LIV Golf get off the ground he repeatedly sought to engage in discussions with the PGA Tour. But I personally believe that over the course of time, they will come to a resolution. “This notion we’re trying to destroy tours is not true,” he said. It’s only in the best interest of the game of golf down the road. In addition to Mickelson and DeChambeau, LIV Golf snared other former major winners in Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Bubba Watson, and 2022 British Open winner Cameron Smith recently [became the latest big name](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/08/30/cam-smith-liv-golf/?itid=lk_inline_manual_11) to defect. “We have no interest in sitting down with them, to be honest with you, because our product is working.” The group, which includes Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau, claims the PGA Tour engaged in anticompetitive behavior and harmed their livelihoods by [suspending them](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/06/09/pga-suspension-liv-golfers/?itid=lk_inline_manual_2&itid=lk_inline_manual_5) for playing in LIV events. “What is wrong with that?” [told](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6X-V_UJ_Gs) reporters that he “would never want that to be my goal” and that the LIV series “never wanted to do that.” Norman and his staff “had to play their cards the way they’ve had to based on the way the PGA Tour has reacted,” he said. In a memo to PGA Tour players last month following the lawsuit by LIV Golf players, Monahan continued to refer to that series as the “Saudi Golf League” while describing the legal action as “an attempt to use the TOUR platform to promote themselves and to freeride on your benefits and efforts.” [ESPN](https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/34596838/greg-norman-says-liv-golf-circuit-no-interest-truce-rival-pga-tour), which cited a source Thursday, Norman’s outreach to the PGA Tour included [a letter he sent to Monahan](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/02/24/greg-norman-letter-pga-saudi-golf-league/?itid=lk_inline_manual_16) in February and a voice mail Norman left shortly before LIV Golf announced its 2022 schedule.

Now a freelance writer for Golf Monthly and the PGA, he covers all aspects of the game, from Tour news to equipment testing and buyers’ guides. If they wake up at the end of the year and Dustin Johnson is 102 in the world, is that not a laughing stock to the OWGR? LIV Golf is the best thing that has ever happened to the careers of professional golfers. He went on to add: "The Official World Golf Ranking system determines not only a golfer’s ranking, but also his qualification for major tournaments and the Olympics. The ranking system must be independent if it is to be credible. If it doesn’t, fans and sponsors won’t know who is the best in the sport." Now, just under a month later, Norman has taken a dig at the PGA Tour, writing: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." 24, the PGA Tour responded to There’s two ways they can go: With a board dominated by the PGA Tour, the Official World Golf Ranking currently excludes LIV Golf events.

In July, Forbes reported that Mickelson’s guaranteed money for joining LIV Golf would be $106 million for the year, and when combined with off-course earnings of $36 million, Part of the reason for withdrawing might have to do with just how long the trial is likely to run. And now that LIV is a part of it, that will be accomplished if and when they win.’’ “I think the fans are getting a lot of benefit out of this, and all golfers, all professional golfers are getting a lot of benefit,” Mickelson said two weeks ago while competing at the LIV Golf Invitational outside of Boston. There also will be $100 million awarded to the top 20 players in the Player Impact Program, $75 million in bonuses from the FedEx Cup and all fully exempt players will be guaranteed to make a minimum of $500,000. Forced, then, to counter the insurgence from LIV Golf so as not to lose more players to the fledging circuit that Mickelson helped bring to market, PGA Tour officials will now offer 12 “elevated” events in the 2022-23 season with $20 million purses each while players will compete for $415 million overall.

Even single-digit handicaps and tour pros can benefit from playing a cavity-back iron. Here's what you might be missing out on.
And if you absolutely must play blades, consider the idea of going with a split set and using them in the short irons. “It’s fun to hit those short irons and blades if you’re playing a shorter course. Whether you’re coming down the stretch in a money game or have a win on the line, a little bit of forgiveness can come in handy. I’m not hitting the 5-iron that often unless it’s on a par-3 and I know I’m going to have a great lie. Whereas if you’re a golfer in a different category and playing really long golf holes — you’re going go to want technology. But if you need to hit those mid and long irons — and you’re not a longer player — and you start getting into a 6,600- or 6,800-yard course, that’s a lot of yardage for a lot of golfers. The average golfer might not notice a carry distance delta of 3 yards between iron sets, but you can be certain a pro is going to pick up on the improvement very quickly. A few yards here and there can make a big difference.” “I can’t play a blade,” Na said. But I’m wiser now and play a cavity-back.” Rickie Fowler also added a set of unreleased “It’s too difficult, and I’m a pro golfer.
