Scottie Scheffler is a member of the PGA Tour’s Player Advisory Council. He was asked today if there’s any issues he feels strongly about, and after originally saying he “doesn’t know”, he then spoke at depth about the importance of player pathways. Speaking ahead of his defence of the Memorial Tournament, Scottie said: “I don't know. Yeah, no, I don't know. Nothing too strong. “I think one thing that we talked about in terms of the new schedule was a healthy amount of turnover, and one thing that I'm actually pretty passionate about is avenues of getting onto the Tour. I felt like when I came out, that was something that wasn't an issue for me, but it was more difficult than I thought it would be. So when I turned pro -- when I was planning on turning pro after graduating college, PGA Tour U wasn't a thing. “I tried to sign up for PGA Tour Canada Q-School and there was only one qualifier that I could do due to my college schedule, finishing out the year, and that qualifier had already filled up because they give priority to the people that had already had status before, which I understand. But there wasn't an avenue for me to even qualify for PGA Tour Canada, so I spent the summer playing Monday qualifiers on the PGA Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour and playing mini Tour events so I could stay sharp and get ready for Q-School. “So when PGA Tour U started being discussed, that was something I was pretty passionate about, getting a new young group of guys out there and giving them avenues to get into our system and opportunities to get onto the PGA Tour. Because the guys coming out of college are getting better and better from a young age, and I think in a lot of other sports, it's very simple how you get into the professional ranks, is you get drafted, and in golf, there's not really that avenue, and I felt like that was something that we needed to have on the Tour is the right avenues for guys to be able to got out here. I feel like where we're at on PGA Tour U, giving those guys the opportunities is something that I think is important to me.” He went on to emphasise his feelings: “I think just giving guys opportunities is really what it is. Golf is a hard sport to predict, and I think that's why for a long time there wasn't that system, just because a guy could be a great college player, but it's really hard to figure out who is going to be the best player out here. “So I think giving guys a lot of opportunity across the board is important, and that's not giving out a ton of cards on the PGA Tour, but getting guys into our system where when you know if you play well at a PGA Tour sanctioned event, whether it's PGA Tour Canada or Latin America -- or I think it's called PGA Tour Americas now. But giving guys those starts and those opportunities to where they can prove themself and earn their spot on the Tour. “There was an avenue for me, which was Q-School and a year on the Korn Ferry Tour, but I think it's important to get guys immediately into the system when they get out of college, especially when they have had good college careers.” PGA TOUR the Memorial

Rory McIlroy was asked after The Open whether he’d like to see Bryson DeChambeau play in the Irish Open on the DP World Tour: “I mean, I think that would be great for the tournament, absolutely. Having someone like Bryson at the Irish Open, yeah, it would be great for the tournament.” He then was asked whether the national open should remain as a stand alone DP World Tour event with the upcoming PGA Tour changes: “If it's going to stay -- I guess next year it might change because of the Ryder Cup in Adare, but if it's going to stay in that September date, I don't see how it becomes part of the PGA Tour season when the PGA Tour is going to be played from February to August.” The Amgen Irish Open is to be held at Trump Doonbeg in September and there are strong rumours Bryson may make an appearance. Expect news on this soon. Rory McIlroy The Open

Long before he was a 12-time PGA TOUR winner (and currently leading John Deere Classic at age 50), Zach Johnson was a young pro with conditional Korn Ferry Tour status, driving to Monday qualifiers and fighting for playing opportunities. His early career was defined by week-to-week uncertainty, as has been the case for several TOUR pros and their families across generations. "What are you playing this year? Well, if I get into that, I might play. Hopefully I get into that," Johnson described a common conversation across TOUR pros and their circles. Johnson appreciates the new TOUR competitive structure, effective in 2028, for more defined playing opportunities across the PGA TOUR Championship Series and PGA TOUR Challenger Series. "Now it's black and white. You're either in this series or the other one," he said. And most importantly for Johnson, the TOUR's inherent meritocracy remains. There will be clear pathways to the PGA TOUR Challenger Series, on which the top players will qualify for the PGA TOUR Championship Series. "It's still earn what you get, get what you earn," Johnson said. "You put your work in the dirt, and you get what you get." As he continues to do.

Does this cheapen the “meritocracy” of the PGA Tour? A YouTube content creator is playing in a PGA Tour event on a sponsors exemption. Brad Dalke is really good. Played in the Masters and US Open as an amateur. But better players will be at home.

Rory McIlroy was asked by Bob Harig whether he was surprised that the PIF pulled the funding to LIV Golf. His immediate reaction was to joke that he “loves talking about this,” but then when the question developed he gave a thoughtful answer and said he is “glad” he was wrong to suggest the PGA Tour do a deal with the PIF and also said he knew about it in March/April, before players on LIV did. He then spoke about what LIV could look like in the future. This is worth a watch. Rory McIlroy PGA Championship

"He said, 'Well, are you playing this week?' And I said, 'Yeah, that's why I'm here. I'm not flying from Europe to here to have a New York strip with you guys, you know, of course I'm playing.' And that really motivated me."

NEW: Asked Tom Lehman what his policy would be toward LIV players if they wanted to return to PGA TOUR. In a chat for Skratch and the pod he said they would come back with “no status whatsoever” and get in line “behind the Tour School and you start at the bottom of the barrel.” “Or better yet send them to Korn Ferry Tour.” For them “to leave and just come back and play at any point is just wrong. Totally against that…I think that’s a terrible idea to let the guys who were not loyal to the PGA Tour leave and just walk back with nothing but a slap on the wrist, and then a let’s go boys. I think that’s just wrong. “Start over, earn your way back. That’s what I would do.” Strong opinion from PGA TOUR Champions star.

Hell yes!! Jhared Hack just won his first start on the India Pro Tour with a final round 59* to win by 5. Jhared has become a good friend, we helped raise money for him a few times. Truly one of the nicest people in golf. Won the 2007 Western Am, beat Rickie and DJ in match play. Turned pro at 18. Now 20 years into his pro career he is still grinding. Years of driver yips. It got so bad his friends would try to convince him to not play in Vegas money games, they would feel guilty taking his money. He refused. Found his way out of them. Battled back. A ton of mini-tour players have been broke, but no one as many times as Jhared. And no one plays better when he's broke. Has won mini-tour events multiple times when his cards were maxed and it was win or be done. Has played most every tour in the world. DP, PGA, KFT, Latin, Canada, Morocco, China, and now India. After he missed at 2nd stage here he told Mark Baldwin he was going to play in India. We thought he was crazy (we still think he's crazy) . He won 1st stage there, finished 2nd at final, now won in his first start. Gets $25,000 for the win, will get into 2 Hotel Planners events, possible a DP event. Moved up 2000 spots in OWGR. Talked to him this morning when I woke up, he was ecstatic. “Going to have some beers” before he gets on his way to next weeks event. I love it, every second of it. This is why I started this account, for wins like this at events no one has ever heard of. (* par 69, around 6,000 yards. A 59 to win is impressive regardless, but for full context)
