Scottie Scheffler struggles at the Open because he wants a fair golf course

Scotty does not like it when it's quote unquote unfair. I mean that is the one weird thing about Scotty, like he wants a great shot rewarded and that's just not what links golf's about. This is the one he has not played great at. For Scotty it's trying to lean a little bit more into that world versus 'why is it in that pot bunker?'

Scottie Scheffler dominated the 2025 Open at Royal Portrush, winning by 4 shots at 17-under par. He thrived at links golf, contrary to this prediction.

Kyle Schwarber is the greatest home run hitter in the game

Kyle Schwarber is the man. What a monster. Three swings, three dongs, three no-doubters. He hit three home runs in three swings, absolute monsters. He's the best. I fucking love him forever.

This take is subjective as 'the best' is an opinion, though Schwarber did win the hypothetical swing-off in the transcript context.

Aaron Judge showed bad leadership by leaving the All-Star Game early

Bad leadership by Aaron Judge at the All Star Game. [Ohtani and Judge] were probably on a plane... it did feel like the National League manager was trying to win harder than the American League manager.

The concept of 'leadership' in an exhibition game is inherently subjective.

Every baseball game should be decided by a swing-off

I like the swing off. The end of game is great. I want everything decided by swing offs now. Regular season baseball games swing off... child custody hearings swing off.

Clearly a satirical suggestion for MLB and legal reform.

Scotty Scheffler is more likely to win the PGA by 10 than finish outside the top 10

I think there's a better chance Scotty [Scheffler] wins by 10 than he doesn't finish in the top 10. I think this is a great opportunity for Scotty to kind of go back to back at the PGA.

The tournament concludes on May 17, 2026.

Brooks Koepka is in a prime position to contend for a win at the PGA Championship

I think [Brooks Koepka] is gonna be in contention here. I think it's a great Brooks Koepka golf course. He's leading the PGA tour this season in Iron Play. ... I think Brooks is positioning himself to get really a chance to win either this PGA or or win it at Shinnecock.

The outcome of the 2026 PGA Championship will determine if Brooks was in contention.

Michael Block will make the cut at the 2026 PGA Championship

I think Blockie makes the cut. I really do. ... I think Blockie's gonna make the cut this week. I don't know if he wins the PGA, ... but I think [he'll] get to the weekend.

Michael Block's performance in the 2026 PGA Championship is still ongoing. As of May 15, 2026, only the first round has concluded, and the cut is determined after the second round. Therefore, it is not yet known if he will make the cut.
