How To Hit The Bump & Run
Showdown Recap & PNC Preview:
The Showdown Recap:
The PGA Tour Boys (Scottie Scheffler & Rory McIlroy) pretty much dominated from the start.
Scottie was, well, Scottie-like. The guy continues to be the absolute best in the business. His teammate, Rory McIlroy, put on an absolutely pure display of putting throughout the night.
Meanwhile, team LIV just couldn’t get it going. Bryson looked like Charles Barkley was giving him putting tips before the round. It ended up being a pretty lopsided event.
Also, we can’t sit here and pretend like it was incredibly exciting. ¾ of the players competing aren’t exactly known for their entertaining personalities and the remaining guy had a down round and his natural entertaining abilities were dulled as a result.
It’s a great concept, but if there’s future iterations, they need to figure out how to make it more entertaining for fans.
Of note: Rory & Scottie won $10 million dollars worth of Crypto, specifically Crono Coin, which is down about 4% today. That’s like $200,000 each - how quickly do you think they both sell it?

This is the best time to start working out and add some swing speed for 2025.
