RESULTS SHRINERS CHILDREN’S CHAMPIONSHIP 0CT 12-16 & PGA/DP/LIV/PIF 2024                       

Not much to say about this tournament that was not in my Preview.  Since these 7 Fall tournaments and the LIV Team Play Championship do not have much meaning, I will devote a portion of the blogs to updates from PGA/DP/LIV/PIF.  #1 is below after the Shriners results.

ROUND 1

#1 Beau Hossler-9 62/ 1 eagle, 8 birdies and only 1 bogie. 

#2 J.T. Poston-8 63  call him the Postman because he delivers, has not delivered this year.

#6 Luke List-6 65 bogie free RD with another strong finish 31 on back 9.

#21 Tom Kim-3 68 bogies 7 & 8, last years winner. 

#30 Ludvig Aberg-2 69 he is so steady.  Great to see a new face so easy to like.

ROUND 2

#1 Lanto Griffin-12 66 started RD with 4 straight birdies then  2 on16 & 18, finished 13th.

CUT-3 Mark Hubbard-2, Lexi Thomson E, Ben Griffin+1, Harry Higgs+4.

#4 KH Lee-14 66 bogie free RD with 1 eagle and 3 birdies also great RD 2, finished 7th.

#7 Callum Tarren-13 62 If not for a DB on 17 he would have low RD at 60, finished 23rd.

#7 Poston 68 Last win Jonn Deere Classic in 2022. 

FINAL ROUND Tom Kim wins for 2nd straight year, 21 Years old with 3 wins. 

Ludvig Aberg, what can you say about him?

Eric Cole one of my longshots at 35/1.  

Hadwin is #45 and Poston is #39 on PGA top 50.  No points, are already in the top 50.

1 Tom Kim -20 66	Birdies 4 of last 10 holes, even with a 3 put on 16.	$1.5M
2 Adam Hadwin -19 67	Bogies 16, but birdies 18 to finish alone at 2nd.	$916K
3 Eric Cole -18 62	9 birdies for low RD with Aberg, should be Rookie of the Year.	$410K
3 JT Poston -18 62	Four RDs under 70 not enough.	$410K
13 Ludvig Aberg -16 62	One bogie, 1 eagle, 8 birdies ( 6 of the last 9 holes).	$155K

PGA/DP/LIV/PIF 2024

#1 The 2024 PGA season has been set from Jan 4 to Sept 1, 2024.  Eight Signature events will have purses of $20M, The Players will be $25M, and the 4 majors will be around $20M. Waste Management Phoenix Open, which was a signature event last year with a $20M purse is likely to be $9M although no official purse has been announced.  This probably goes for most future events not mentioned.  Purses probably depend on how much $ PIF will cough up.
