  7. Ricky was obviously one of the guys who struggled with transition from being a PGA Tour player with no kids to a Tour player who understands he needs to put his family first. He’s doing a decent job, but still seems to be battling it. Saw it with his buddy Spieth too. It’s good they have solid perspective on life, but winning doesn’t seem as important. They still have the sponsors, money, the life so I’m sure their mentality is why push so hard to be a top 10 player. All time greats like MJ, Tiger and Kobe are wired differently and can’t accept 2nd place. It will be interesting to see how Scottie handles life and being number one with a growing family. He is very subtle about it but I think deep down he has a similar drive like Tiger.

  8. I like Ricky but what a cop out. Basically saying ‘I’m not as good at golf as I could be because I’m a good person’ is such a bullsh*t thing to say coming from someone that golfs for a living. That’s something WE should say since we don’t practice golf every day and play professional tournaments.

  9. Ricky is a favorite of mine but he never had that drive to be the best at golf he could be. He loves his wife and child more than golf now and that’s ok. I’d be ok with making what he making this year.

  11. Very odd headspace.

    Im officially checked out on Fowler. Time to go support the guys who are way hungrier

  12. I like Rickie but he is not fully forthcoming on his reason to amend his playing schedule for the last 10-15 years- to stay in US and play John Deere Classic verses taking the week.off to play in Scottish next week. It's not rocket science. Recently moving from 117th to 78th in FedEx standings, he desperately needs FedEx points to assure he stays inside FedEx top 100 to keep from losing his PGA card next year!

  13. We know why it’s because you suck, we do get to see you play you know. Although there has been some recent improvement.

  14. Would be great to see Rickie Fowler win a major before he's done. He can still do it. Phil Mickelson didn't win his first until he was 33 (?), and went on to win six of them. Lesser players have won a major.

  15. Signature events ruined the tour. Fans want full fields with similar purses. Every player should have to play at each event at least once in 5 yrs.
