Why? I’m glad you asked.
As much as we all miss Tiger Woods, the PGA is in AMAZING hands. Like hands as great as Brandi Love. 2021 is the year of the cumbacks comebacks. Current golf ratings are higher than giraffe pussy. The world has come back firing after the COVID pandemic. Justin Thomas took home The Players Championship after losing his preppy boy Ralph Lauren sponsor because he said he putted the ball like a f-word, and that f-word was not fuck. Jordan Spieth is back to his old form of talking to Greller for 5 minutes between each shot, only to hear him yell “Jordan, what in the world was that?” except at least now, he’s actually winning. That’s not all… Rory McIlroy is overcoming two-stroke deficits on a Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship to finally get the job done after almost two years without a win.
When will the pain and suffering end?
As January passed by and everyone is upset, we finally had something to look forward to. We had the most exciting and entertaining sporting event on the horizon in the first weekend of February. I’m not talking about the Super Bowl, either. We are talking about a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. A little place called the Waste(d) Management Open.
It was there, in Scottsdale AZ, where golf turned the corner and was officially BACK. Big Dick Brooks Koepka took home the trophy over the likes of Jordan Spieth and Xander Schauffele. That win was followed up by Ryder Cup hopeful, Daniel Berger at Pebble Beach. Twitter sensation and golf swing critic, Max Homa, won the Genesis in a playoff against Tony Finau. Then to end February, the young phenom, Collin Morikawa won the WGC-Workday. It still doesn’t end there!
March – May
The strong month of February was followed up by wins by Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas in March. In April, we had Jordan Spieth re-enter the win column after 3 years of the yips. Hideki Matsuyama said fuck the haters and went on to become the 2021 Masters Champion and got himself a Green Jacket. Then now May is off to a hell of a start with the young buck, Sam Burns getting his first win. Then last week, Rory McIlroy fought off the demons like he was Bubba at the 10K Headquarters.
PGA Championship
We have our second major tournament of the year in just two weeks when the PGA Championship takes place at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina. A major championship that Tiger Woods has won 4 different times. Obviously he won’t be playing in the tournament to go for #5, but Rory and Brooks have both won this event twice in their careers. Can they make it 3? Spieth goes for the Grand Slam and tries to win all four majors at just 27 years old. Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Jason Day, are some other notables who have won this event before. Who do you think will be taking home the Wanamaker Trophy? You already know that I’m ride or die with Jordan Spieth. (Vegas odds below)
