LIV performance weak, showing that their competition and venues are not up to PGA’s.

Bryson DeChambeau Up and down entire tournament, said in his post RD4 interview that his iron game poor due to equipment and wind?

Joaquin Niemann Top 10 but after shooting 74 in RD1 tied for 98, never in it.

Jon Rahm Looked like the old Rahm in RD3 and for 4 holes in RD4 then imploded on the Green Mile.

Tyrrell Hatton Early in RD2 was a contender but faded with 77 RD4-6 Green Mile.

Sergio Garcia finished #67+7 after just making the cut, another guy in his twilight.

Cameron Smith Cut+7 He beat Rory in the 2022 OPEN with 30 on back 9.

Phil Mickelson Cut+9 The way he is playing would have trouble on Champions Tour

Bruce Koepka Cut+9 I predict he will be the 1st to leave LIV when his contract is up.

Dustin Johnson Cut+12 He also missed the cut at the Masters, his glory days are behind him but he is a very wealthy man.
