From the “I think about this all the time” files, let’s take it back to the 2021 PGA Championship, which happened 10 two years ago and at which Phil Mickelson tweeted at me on the morning of his first round about crypto schemes.
He went on to shoot 70-69-70-73 over the next four days to win his sixth major.
How far away does that feel from this (which has since been deleted)?
Other than “You too Whan” entering the Golf Twitter Meme Lexicon, what’s incredible about this tweet is that the PGA — as Porath recently pointed out — actually prioritized at least on LIV guy over some Tour players who are ranked higher in the OWGR!
Crypto-Joke-Making Phil has given way to Cherry-Picking Phil, and though the flip has been interesting to think and talk about, I certainly prefer one to the other.
Me after trying for 18 minutes in 101-degree weather to get the car seat locked in and the straps as tight at humanly possible to the point that a world strongman competitor couldn’t get them any tighter.
Very cool that NLU will be on the alternate broadcast for both the PGA and U.S. Open, and this one got me good.
JRay is the goat, and this was an all-timer.
