Tee Time

PGA Corner - AT&T Byron Nelson

Breaking News: Golf Star Jordan Spieth "Injured" Ahead of Hometown Tournament

Jordan Spieth, the golf sensation from Dallas, has conveniently suffered a left wrist "injury," forcing him to skip the AT&T Byron Nelson tournament. Fans are skeptical of the timing and legitimacy of this setback.

Spieth expressed deep disappointment, citing the tournament's significance and his love for playing in front of family and friends. Meanwhile, his chances at the upcoming PGA Championship remain uncertain, as he evaluates his recovery on a "week-to-week" basis.

Coincidentally, Spieth's disappointing performance at the Wells Fargo Championship adds to the mystery. The injury's origin during those rounds remains unknown.

Despite the setback, Spieth's history at the Byron Nelson Championship as a young amateur is remarkable. His absence leaves fans wondering about the true motives behind this injury.

LIV-in La Vida Loca - Tulsa

LIV Golf makes its grand return to the U.S. with the highly anticipated LIV Golf Tulsa event at Cedar Ridge Country Club in Oklahoma. After their glamorous international escapades in Australia and Singapore, the LIV Golf stars are ready to grace Tulsa with their presence.

Leading the charge is none other than Talor Gooch, the hero of the hour. Accompanied by a pack of Oklahoma State University alumni, including Charles Howell III, Peter Uihlein, and Matthew Wolff, Gooch aims to triumph in his own backyard. With back-to-back wins under his belt, he's riding high on his LIV Golf success.

Gooch's aspirations don't stop there. He's desperate to impress at the upcoming PGA Championship and secure his spot in the U.S. Open. Falling to a devastating world No. 63, he knows he needs a stellar performance. And let's not forget, Gooch isn't the only LIV Golf member eyeing the prize at Oak Hill Country Club.

Brooks Koepka, the victor of LIV Golf Orlando, is hungry for his third Wanamaker Trophy. After narrowly missing out on the green jacket to Jon Rahm at the 2023 Masters, Koepka is bubbling with major championship potential. And let's not overlook the likes of Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed, former major champions and integral members of Team 4 Aces. Reed's recent top-five finish at the Masters shows he's in fine form. But before they can dream of the PGA Championship, they must first conquer this week's LIV Golf Tulsa extravaganza.

Hold on to your golf hats, folks! The drama, competition, and glamour are about to unfold in Tulsa, leaving us eagerly awaiting the next chapter of LIV Golf's thrilling journey.

Putting Predictions

PGA - AT&T Byron Nelson

Scottie Scheffler, rejuvenated and prepared, makes a triumphant return to his Lone Star state. With his third attempt at playing this event on home turf, success is surely within his grasp.

Course unfamiliarity won't hinder him. He excels in key areas and has a solid season with four top 10s and only one missed cut.

The season's top ball striker is about to make a splash for the PGA Championship, reminiscent of Jason Dufner's incredible performance in 2012.

LIV Golf - Tulsa

Prepare for the golfing titan, Brooks Koepka! Fresh off his LIV Golf Orlando triumph, he's locked and loaded to battle for his third Wanamaker Trophy. As the runner-up to Jon Rahm at the 2023 Masters, Koepka's major championship prowess is unmistakable and ready to erupt once again.

Behold the mighty Talor Gooch! The Oklahoma State prodigy leads a gang of OSU alumni. Gooch, the trailblazer who snagged back-to-back wins, now aims to conquer his own turf and claim victory in his very own backyard.

The indomitable Patrick Reed, recently soaring to a top-five finish at the Masters, is geared up for the ultimate challenge. But before they can tackle the mighty PGA Championship, they must first conquer this week's LIV Golf Tulsa escapade. Brace yourselves for the golfing spectacle!
