Cameron Young goes out early at Travelers, fires 13th sub-60 score in PGA Tour history

Some protesters, apparently climate change cult lunatics, not sure exactly as I wasn't watching, ran out on the 18th green and threw paint on it before the police quickly subdued them. Nothing like showing your commitment to the environment by trying to wreck a golf course.
Shortly after that Scottie Scheffler won the playoff on the first hole over Tom Kim of Korea, giving Scheffler his pretty remarkable sixth win of the season in less than half a year.

The crowd was rightly pissed. Looks like some of the protesters got rightly roughed up a bit, when tackled / cuffed.

Scottie Scheffler's six PGA titles so far in '24 is the most since Tiger Woods had six in '09. The modern record is nine, shared by Woods in his peak year of 2000 and Vijay Singh in 2004. Would be nice to see Scotty surpass that, and I'll also be rooting for him to win the British Open next month. He needs to rack up majors while he's at the very peak of his career. So far he has two green jackets (and unprecedented back to back Players championships) but has yet to win the other three.

He's certainly on a good pace to tie or break the record. I don't know how many more tournaments he's committed to as there are nine left I believe, counting the FedEx, BMW and Tour Championship tournaments.
He's also the first player to win six tournaments before July 1st since Arnold Palmer did it in 1962.

Although this article was written in March, it shows the decline in golf attendance and NBC's ratings for golf. Paul Azinger tells it like it is.

What a dismal showing for both Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy at The Fedex St. Judes PGA playoff tournament! Spieth and McIIroy with 7 Majors and over 50 professional wins between them finished second to last in 68th place. Fortunately for McIIroy, he has enough Fedex Cup points to move on to The BMW this week, however Spieth has been eliminated.
Spieth will finally have surgery on his wrist he injured in 2023 and fans are already speculating that it's more than his wrist. Many saying he needs to change everything from his grip, swing and equipment. Who knows, but I hope he can get his wrist repaired and come back to be a great player again.

Scottie Scheffler won the Tour Championship today by five strokes and wins the FedEx Cup for the first time. He had one of the all-time great seasons in 2024, winning The Players for the second time in a row, winning his second Green Jacket at Augusta National, won Olympic gold in golf and now the FedEx Cup, seven wins in all plus the gold medal, the most in a year since you know who in 2007 (but of course to about 1/10 the media hype and acclaim). He has 13 PGA Tour wins now, all in the past three years.
Scheffler also became a father this year. He'll likely never have another year like this one but it'll be interesting to see how long he can maintain his megastar play. Golfers make so much money now, and that and family responsibilities can take away some of the intense focus needed to remain at the top. I know we'd like to see someone challenge Tiger Woods in the majors department but it's unlikely to happen though maybe just maybe Scottie Scheffler is the one to do it.

Thanks, Don for the update on Scheffler. I'm usually posting on the golf thread, but trying to help out on the college football team thread and baseball when I can, I haven't had as much time to post on Golf. Plus, I'm working 3 jobs right now including starting my own company, and trying to hold on to my retirement as I lost my management position late last year when the company I worked for sold.
Anyway, I saw where Jordan Spieth had surgery, August 21st, on his left wrist to repair a chronic tendon issue that connects the forearm to the wrist. He's been managing this for some time now. Hopefully, this isn't just an excuse. Some on social media and other outlets have been saying he needs a lot more than surgery. We shall see. Most of the time when injuries occur, it doesn't bode well.
I hope somehow Spieth makes it back to the form he had as the 21 year-old who won The Masters as well as The US Open and Bristish Open.
If anyone besides me cares, the U.S. team won the President's Cup today over the Internationals 18.5-11.5. It was much closer than that at times over the four days it was played and was a compelling event. It was played in Montreal so the U.S. were the road team.
The U.S. has only lost once since the President's Cup was started in 1994. Now they need to turn it around in the Ryder Cup.

I care, but just got signal back on my TV a little while ago from the Hurricane Helene devastation in Western NC. Watched a little bit at my father in-laws home late this afternoon after helping with cleanup. As I said on The NFL thread, Helene has devastated parts of W. NC. Many deaths and destruction. Parts of I-40 have been wiped out totally and Asheville and other cities are under water. Very sad situation here! It will take months maybe years to fully recover.
Thanks for the update Don!
I knew you were interested, just gets frustrating that you and I are the only posters with much interest in the great (and White dominated) sport of golf.
The U.S. won the first day's matches 5-0 and it looked like it would be a blowout. Then the Internationals came out and won all five the of second day's matches, stunning the Americans and tying it up 5-5. The U.S. side slowly but methodically pulled away the last two days, but a lot of the matches were very close and could have gone either way. There were a lot of great shots by both teams and no shortage of drama. It was one of those events where the final score made it look more one-sided than it was, but the Americans had more top players and better depth and earned it as the Internationals made them work very hard for it after they came out flat the second day.
The Ryder Cup is such a great event and hopefully someday the President's Cup will rival it.

Local PGA Player JT Poston wins The Shriners for his 3rd PGA Tour win. Congratulations JT. Western NC is proud of you!
Congrats to Poston. A bit of a positive boost for such a hard-hit area.
I used to live less than a mile from the course the tournament's played on, jogged by it most days but never played it, way out of my financial league.

Scottie Scheffler won his 9th tour event of the year tying Eldricks record. Big discussion among experts about whose year was better, Tiger's or Scheffler's. Tiger did win 3 majors in 2000. Scheffler won the Heros Tournament on Sunday.

Certainly far better than any of Woods' other years besides 2000. The golf media has been living in a permanent state of idolatry of Woods ever since that peak year, which will be a quarter-century in the past come the new year. But that won't stop Propaganda Minister Rich Lerner and the rest of the fake news minions who comprise the golf media from continuing to pretend that Tiger -- who turns 50 next year and notably didn't play at the Hero World Challenge tournament, which is "his" tournament -- is still a serious contender if he's even able to hobble around any of the upcoming majors in '25.Scottie Scheffler won his 9th tour event of the year tying Eldricks record.

All Scottie needs to do is win more majors to quickly become regarded as an all-time great. He has two Green Jackets and has won The Players back to back, hopefully he averages one or one and a half more major wins for the next several years. By any measurement he's been spectacular the past two years.
