The Netflix Cup: The Absolute Pits
The latest insolent attempt to portray golf as ‘cool’, which manifested itself as a scramble match between four PGA Tour pros and a handful of Formula 1 drivers aired on Netflix last week. Yet another opportunity to wheel out the SB2K17 gang (Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler), they played alongside Carlos Sainz of Ferrari and Lando Norris of McLaren. Tony Finau and Max Homa joined up with Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly to make up the other fourball. Earning itself a rating of 3.7/10 on IMDb, the early signs show that it might narrowly pip ‘The Emoji Movie’ (3.4) and ‘The Room’ (3.6) – two absolute powerhouses of film production – to critical acclaim. The nearly three-hour ‘special’ also saw the return of the earpiece, a revolutionary piece of tech that golf purists around the world have come to know and love… “Justin how far do you have? … Justin.

Lucrative Lee and the Founding of the DP World Tour Championship
With the news that Rory McIlroy has claimed his fifth Race to Dubai title ahead of this year’s Tour Championship, despite only playing four non-major or non-WGC counting events this season, it begs the question of what the DP World Tour (DPWT) Order of Merit stands for anymore. Jon Rahm, sitting in 2nd behind his Ryder Cup teammate, has similarly only played two ‘regular’ events on the DPWT this season. Spare a thought for Adrian Meronk, who has won three times in a season where he has already notched up 23 starts. The young Pole needed to finish third or better at last week’s Nedbank Challenge to keep the race alive. Most of Rory’s points were earned with wins at the Scottish Open (1,335) and the Dubai Desert Classic in January (1,335). The story was not dissimilar last year, either. Despite not winning and only playing five regular DPWT [...]
