Gooch surprising, I hope to never see the Euros or Na again - bigbop85 June 1, 2022, 8:05:45 Phil may wait for the Bonesaw Classic at Pumpkin Ridge…he may be too rusty right now* - Dikta June 1, 2022, 8:10:02 Are they really going to kick DJ off the tour?* - Mrap24 June 1, 2022, 7:55:13 RBC already cut ties with DJ. - uofi1998 June 1, 2022, 8:21:38 His first Saudi tourney is the same weekend as RBC's PGA tourney. - HamptonSki June 1, 2022, 8:30:57 Couldn't he still play in the Masters and The Open? - HamptonSki June 1, 2022, 8:08:50 Yes. Those aren’t run by the tour. Same with the PGA and the US Open* - Dikta June 1, 2022, 8:10:55 In that case, it doesn't sound like bad deal at all for him. - HamptonSki June 1, 2022, 8:17:20 He's the only "surprise" - GrandmotherPearlsJam June 1, 2022, 8:02:16 Gooch is a surprise, dude is 35th and rising - bigbop85 June 1, 2022, 8:13:57 He has 1 career win and 11 top 10 finishes out of 118 events played* - GrandmotherPearlsJam June 1, 2022, 8:21:05 That win and 4 of the top 10s have been this season - jdl June 1, 2022, 8:56:10 That doesn't mean he's a "surprise" departure from the PGA like DJ is - GrandmotherPearlsJam June 1, 2022, 8:59:07 Yes by your definition he isn't a DJ level surprise but he's a surprise nonetheless* - bigbop85 June 1, 2022, 9:11:52 Sure, didn't say he was - jdl June 1, 2022, 9:06:20 I don’t think they have a choice. That’s been their position all along* - Dikta June 1, 2022, 7:59:31 a link would be helpful here - IlliniSax05 June 1, 2022, 7:54:50 Ooo - GrandmotherPearlsJam June 1, 2022, 8:00:52   Searching
