But with Bryson DeChambeau nipping at his heels McIlroy faces a difficult physical and mental task on Sunday McIlroy hasn’t won one in over 10 years he’s regularly been in contention but has seen major titles slip through his grasp repeatedly The most recent instance was at last year’s U.S when McIlroy missed multiple short putts late on Sunday to hand the title to McIlroy has significant scar tissue at the Masters having led the 2011 event by four before melting down on the back nine on Sunday He’s had solid finishes since then but hasn’t been in the same position again Adding to the pressure of the moment, McIlroy would complete the career grand slam with a Masters victory on Sunday He would become just the sixth golfer in history to do so Once the third round was complete, Chamblee appeared on Golf Channel’s “Live at the Masters” segment where he first acknowledged that McIlroy is in the best position to win a major he’s been in for years “The improvements that he’s made technically have allowed him to be more free mentally And you put those two together and you’re talking about a guy who has won 28 times on the PGA Tour seven of those victories were by four shots or more were by eight shots,” Chamblee said Saturday night “Only Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have won multiple major championships by eight shots or more since 1900 What we’re seeing now is the fella who won those major championships by eight.” But then Chamblee added a massive disclaimer for McIlroy stating that no pro golfer has ever experienced the intense pressure McIlroy will encounter on Masters Sunday is the most pressure any player has ever faced in the history of a final round of a major championship,” Chamblee said Chamblee added that in terms of the pressure pro golfers have faced at majors throughout history “the only two even close in my mind” would be Bobby Jones trying to complete the grand slam in 1930 and Tiger Woods trying to complete the Tiger Slam at the 2011 Masters The positive side to the challenge in front of McIlroy on Sunday is that if he does win the intense pressure he faced will only make the win sweeter the pressure will only increase for next time and manages the brand’s e-newsletters which reach more than 1.4 million subscribers each month he also helps keep GOLF.com humming outside the news-breaking stories and service content provided by our reporters and writers and works with the tech team in the development of new products and innovative ways to deliver an engaging site to our audience All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team Brandel Chamblee in June of 2022 at the Travelers Championship We’d met a couple weeks ago just outside New York City’s Riverside Park where his dog tugged him a bit too enthusiastically toward another dog before he slipped He was a retired chief legal officer for a bank you’ve heard of and I’ll let you decide whose mother should be more proud he was at least curious about some recent headlines.  Charlie?

LIV and the Saudi PIF deal with the PGA Tour (That’s likely influenced the PGA Tour as that’s removed a player detraction to joining LIV.)   In the short term, the thought is LIV will stay, as it’s brokered a number of business deals. You’ll maybe also see some openness between the tours. But is something more coming? A Rory McIlroy comment said last week at the PGA Tour’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am further teased the possibility of a world tour which you’d guess would travel globally like LIV and compete like the PGA Tour’s Signature Events series.  maybe by the end of this decade you might see something where it could come together,” McIlroy said it’s so pie in the sky and there’s so much stuff that can happen.” Let’s see if we can find eight more items for the Weekend 9.  2. Trump didn’t talk just with the PGA Tour and the Saudi PIF, according to Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee — he also talked with Chamblee In response on Thursday to the meeting news Chamblee said he played golf with the president last year and that most of their conversation centered around subjects Chamblee has been critical of — LIV and the source of LIV’s funding I felt like it [the meeting] was inevitable after the election I had the pleasure of playing with President Trump last year he would want to come over and talk to me about LIV Golf about Saudi’s involvement in the game of golf and he was so magnanimous about our differences meaning the gentleman who runs LIV and heads the PIF he said Yasir loves golf more than you do and more than I do Now it’s hard to believe because President Trump plays a lot of golf and I’m crazy about it They have $32 trillion worth of oil underneath that sand and they really have to diversify their economy.’ He said they are all-in on this and they’re not going anywhere he would want to talk almost every hole about LIV and about the Saudi involvement of course I understand why we acquiesce and need Saudi Arabia as a partner in the Middle East My issues were about the human rights concerns and about how golf was at some point It’s going to be good for Saudi Arabia it’s going to be good for the PGA Tour but he was as opinionated on one side of it as I was I was grateful for the conversation all day long he made me think about Yasir as a partner in the game of golf and not looking just for an economic opportunity through the game of golf.” Responded analyst Paige Mackenzie: “I also think from the beginning and you and I had this conversation probably two and a half years ago I said it’s better to have this money invested in golf versus going somewhere else The idea that Trump has been involved is absolutely of no surprise I think we saw Yasir with Trump somewhere between November and December of this year He’s had LIV Golf events at his property He’s clearly a follower of the PGA Tour It is no surprise that he has been contacted as part of this unification This should be celebrated because that’s what a lot of players have been talking about what they want this divided professional men’s golf landscape.” Responded announcer Rich Lerner: “Said a couple of years ago that day that Yasir Al-Rumayyan met with Jay Monahan: Saudis won And I also added there would be a running of the bulls for the Saudi money and that’s where we are realities of where we are in the game of golf Chamblee said it himself when he said: “I will say that he did change my mind he made me think about Yasir as a partner in the game of golf and not looking just for an economic opportunity through the game of golf.” Chamblee’s platform is maybe the biggest in golf and “change of minds” can be questioned 3. One of my favorite reads on LIV Golf came in October of 2022 from Zach Helfand of the New Yorker. (And if you haven’t yet read it yourself, you can do so by clicking here.) One nugget in the story has especially stuck with me and it’s an interesting thought to consider in light of the recent conversation of PGA Tour players being more “entertaining.” Here’s a part of what Helfand wrote: An agent told me “… I think LIV is going for the WWE model.” 4. I pause whatever I’m working on when a Michael Bamberger story drops in our Slack channel, and his words this week on Tida Woods should show you why. Below are just some of them, and the entire article can be read by clicking here Tiger has talked in general terms about what he learned from his mother but he has kept private any details of how it shaped him Tiger has always given the appearance of being a child of the North American experience Someday we may find out that his Eastern side — his Buddhist side his Tida side — opened a window to the game’s mysteries in ways that defy post-round interviews What am I reading (besides the thoughtful prose of my colleagues) Here Fergus Bisset of Golf Monthly wrote why putts — should count as a half-stroke.  6. This week, I talked with legendary instructor Pia Nilsson about slow play and there’s one nugget that didn’t make the article that I want to share here.  I’d asked her whether there are moments when slow play can be considered OK “One category that sometimes would be good to slow it down,” Nilsson said “is actually the ones playing from the front tees because — often more women than men — because often they’re the last to hit and everybody’s rushing past them in the carts and they’re often the first one to hit you’re allowed a few seconds to calm down and make a decision because they just can feel totally anxious out there.”     7.

2022 Brandel Chamblee says Collin Morikawa’s act not to talk to the media after last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational was setting “a dangerous precedent” for himself and hinted at a sense of entitlement.  then had a thought on players’ interaction with reporters in general “It’s not all about smiley faces and everybody winning,” he said.  it might have been a little bit harsh that I don’t owe anyone but it’s just — it hurts to hear people say this because I finished the round and I went to go sign for 10 minutes Not a single person from media went to go follow me because “So for people to be calling me out is — it’s interesting I was signing for every single person right after the round Morikawa’s comments were shown on Golf Channel and Chamblee and McGinley were asked to respond.  “It’s interesting that he called myself and Paul and Rocco about it,” Chamblee said He’s saying no to his fellow players who do these interviews.”  The analyst singled out Jack Nicklaus and Nancy Lopez as players who talked after defeats.  “Everybody’s tuned in and engaged,” Chamblee said on Golf Channel The purses are ungodly high and there’s a sense that there’s an entitlement that they don’t owe anybody anything And he voiced what a lot of people suspected too many Tour players felt A lot of them are great with the media and give us these interviews afterwards But I think he’ll regret it if he carries on turning down the media after he loses because he’s so good he’s going to have many more painful losses but it’s just part of the game.” McGinley furthered the “entitlement” thought saying that it’s “a view from a lot of the public.”  “So it’s a word of caution to the players more than anything else that don’t come out and say something like I don’t owe anybody anything because that does not sound good,” he said on Golf Channel “Maybe it was a wrong choice of words but don’t say anything like that.  “It doesn’t sound right and it’s not what the public want to hear because ultimately the public are the ones paying higher prices to come to events The public are the ones being denied all the best players coming together more regularly in terms of the top events as the product of golf has become diluted And the media is a prism for all of that.” “Probably the most memorable interview that I can remember in professional golf was one from loss, not victory,” he said. “And it was Rory McIlroy in a Ryder Cup in Whistling Straits And that’s raw emotion and it humanized Rory and it humanized golfers And even though it’s a hard thing to do very positive outlook for professional golfers “It’s not all about smiley faces and everybody winning There’s got to be give and take for everybody.” Notably, McIlroy did not talk to reporters last year after finishing runner-up at the U.S he started Saturday’s third round of the Players Championship two back of the lead.  Collin Morikawa spoke straight to the camera Friday after his Players Championship responding to criticism from Brandel Chamblee and others — Collin Morikawa had made it through his 5-hour round plus 5 minutes and 30 seconds of media Friday before he spotted an opportunity and said “I just want to add one more thing.”  After admitting Tuesday that he reads a lot of golf coverage, Morikawa proved it Friday, responding to criticism from Brandel Chamblee and Rocco Mediate and doubling down on his belief that he doesn’t “owe anyone anything.” That includes speaking with media directly after a defeat.  If you’re just catching up, on Sunday Morikawa finished second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational behind Russell Henley On Tuesday, Morikawa answered question after question for 20 minutes in his Players Championship press conference He was happy to answer them at that point and in a much better mood When asked why he didn’t explain his feelings Sunday night I didn’t need any ‘good playings.’ Like He added that if he’d had an hour or so to blow off steam but in the moment he didn’t want to talk to anyone and he thinks it’s fair to decline interviews in those moments Mediate and Paul McGinley — all hailing from a different pro-golf generation than Morikawa — all disagree.  Mediate spoke out on Morikawa via Sirius XM radio show calling it the “Biggest bunch of horses—t you could ever say most selfish garbage you could ever say.”  Mediate invoked the tournament’s namesake positing that Arnold Palmer would have taken issue with Morikawa’s actions while speaking on Golf Channel’s Live From the Players said that Morikawa’s media-ducking isn’t just robbing the press of information sponsors and “entire ecosystem of golf,” too Chamblee called to mind other more crushing defeats than Morikawa’s and how certain players gathered themselves to share “the humanity of losing.” McGinley cited a belief that modern players are earning a reputation of greed with their actions adding “I don’t know if history is going to reflect back on this generation of players as being good for the game.” Morikawa seemed to have heard all of it.  “I might bite my tongue after saying this,” he began Friday at Sawgrass to the Rocco Mediates of the world — I don’t regret anything I said Morikawa spoke straight into the lens of the press conference camera Mediate and McGinley were looking back at him from the other side “I respect the fans,” Morikawa continued Morikawa appears to be irked that the narrative was he stormed out of Bay Hill he stayed and signed autographs before heading out of Orlando “So for people to be calling me out — it’s interesting,” he said finishing nine under through 36 holes and as of this writing was just two shots back of the lead at the Players Sean Zak is a writer at GOLF Magazine and just published his first book, which follows his travels in Scotland during the most pivotal summer in the game’s history Golf Channel’s Live From the Masters came on the air with McIlroy’s furious reversion to the mean still fresh Rich Lerner mentioned that he needed to scrap all his complimentary notes about the Northern Irishman’s game as a healthy red-number cushion had evaporated back to even seemed a bit stunned at the roller-coaster ride and discussion turned to the idea that McIlroy had potentially ruined his chances before Justin Rose slept on a lead “Rory has come from six and eight [shots] back before and won tournaments in one round of golf,” the analyst said ‘it was a big mistake and it was mindboggling,’ lest we forget how good he was playing right up until 15 Rory is a once-in-a-generation golfer and so I’m not going to sit here and say he blew himself out of the golf tournament and I promise you he sits there and he says and I got all the time in the world to get this done.’” The same trio on Golf Channel once again reacted. “Rory going for the Grand Slam,” Chamblee said. “Be the second person to do it in 60 years and should he pull it off, today may go down as the most important round that Rory has ever played.” Golf Central and its on-site Live From is not a program that’s prone to hyperbole, a welcome change from other sports titles that seem to exist only to capitalize on the quick dopamine rush of a disingenuous take. So it’s a bit surprising to hear something that might border on it. And yet when you dissect the comment, even with the tens of thousands of rounds McIlroy has played and how often those have ended with hardware in his hands, it’s difficult to argue. For all the story lines that abound between patches of pine straw, this is McIlroy’s Masters until someone else becomes the main character. His quest for golf immortality is the A-block. Through two days he’s been a volatile market, swinging wildly up and down. Over the next 36 holes he may richly reward those who bought the dip. We’re halfway home and it feels like the protagonist has already lost and won the tournament. Golf, though, always chooses its own adventure and McIlroy’s second-round resurrection may not be immortalized in the history books but rather relegated to a minor footnote should the familiar pratfalls that have plagued him in the biggest moments once again rise to the surface. The thing that’s so compelling about McIlroy at this point of his walk is that he is on one hand the most known entity and a complete unknown. There’s perhaps only one player capable of being better than him but few that can have things fall apart when they need to hold it together. Perhaps we’re looking at the most important weekend among all the weekends he’s spent entertaining us. Time will sort all of that. It’s certainly shaping up to be the most interesting.

People tune in to sports that matter. https://t.co/Vi4HmiNqNs For the record, Jon Rahm clinched the 2024 LIV Individual title at LIV Golf Chicago last September. And Chamblee’s numbers are off. The second round of the tournament drew 134,000 viewers with the third and final round hitting only 89,000 Last year, LIV Golf events were shown on the CW cable network. This season, the upstart league signed a new deal with Fox Sports. But the ratings on Fox’s family of channels have been disappointing too. The final round of this year’s season-opening LIV Golf Riyadh event drew 54,000 average viewers on FS1 which could be the figure Chamblee is noting Chamblee replied to another X post from Carpenter This Carpenter post reported that the Players Championship drew an average audience of 3.6 million on Sunday slightly more than the 6 million peak audience for Scheffler’s 2024 Players win Chamblee’s response to that post was longer and strongly-worded claiming that “LIV is dying a slow costly death” before turning his ire on LIV players “The PGA Tour is killing it and LIV is dying a slow costly death,” Chamblee wrote “LIV players have seller’s remorse They want the meritocratic cachet that competing at the highest level confers but they have shown in their choice to play for LIV that they’d rather have the money first and sue for the cachet Trying to blur the distinction between gift and reward.” “The audience sees right through them and chooses to watch those that prefer to play for history and legacy.” The PGA Tour is killing it and LIV is dying a slow costly death. LIV players have seller’s remorse. They want the meritocratic cachet that competing at the highest level confers but they have shown in their choice to play for LIV that they’d rather have the money first and sue… https://t.co/eyhzS3rGUd there seemed to be hope that a reunification between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf was imminent intimated that LIV players could appear in PGA Tour events before the end of this year But in the last few weeks, negotiations seemed to have stalled. At his Players Championship press conference last week Monahan noted the “ebbs and flows” of the negotiations He added the potential ominous note that while they’re still working to bring the two sides together the PGA Tour “will not do so in a way that diminishes the strength of our platform or the very real momentum we have with our fans and our partners.” Ed Reed is returning to the sideline — as an offensive coordinator.

drawing board—but for a good cause Windsor Stevens Holdings is moving forward with a redesign of The Frazier at Olde Towne Gordon that will more than double its number of apartments in an ITP area that’s seen a surge of multifamily growth in recent years Class A development at 3553 Chamblee Dunwoody Road will now feature more than 300 apartments—up from the 144 units in four stories most recently planned according to developer Rod Mullice of Windsor Stevens 20 percent of the apartments will be reserved for teachers and first-responders with rents capped at 80 percent of the area median income Windsor Stevens purchased the .4-acre property next door in 2023 that included a 1980s auto repair building to increase The Frazier’s size Mullice says his firm recently closed on financing to start a redesign process with Niles Bolton Associates architects that maintains earlier design standards Plans call for a retail component at ground level along Chamblee Dunwoody Road “The footprint is larger so the [apartment] floorplates will be more efficient,” Mullice noted via email and we’ll maintain the arches for the retail bays and apartment windows.”  The project’s revised construction schedule calls for groundbreaking in the fourth quarter of next year and delivery in 2027 Initial plans called for The Frazier (formerly “The Gordon”) to be for-sale condos with construction scheduled to start in March 2020 the initial phase of 24 homes was going to be priced from the $200,000s with condos ranging from 501 to 1,098 square feet The Frazier would join a groundswell of recent multifamily investment around Chamblee’s historic downtown Earlier this year, the Lumen Chamblee project debuted across the street, and another nearby multifamily development, City Heights Collectively those developments have brought more than 560 apartments to the district Other perks of the project—described as a Transit-Oriented Development with the Chamblee MARTA station just 1/4 mile away—will include Google Technology in the building and immediate access to Chamblee’s planned Rail Trail expansion route Chamblee has been "a beneficiary of explosive population growth within Atlanta drawing new residents due to its proximity to the primary employment hubs in Buckhead and Midtown,” notes The Frazier marketing materials “[The project] is embedded in an area with strong income statistics and will support competitive rents and consistent rent growth.” Twitter / Facebook/and now: Instagram   • Chamblee news, discussion (Urbanize Atlanta) Brandel Chamblee believes Tiger Woods' mistake cost him getting to 20 majors Brandel Chamblee has made a name for himself as one of the straightest-talking analysts in golf and he dropped more truth bombs when talking about one of the more questionable decisions Tiger Woods made in his career Woods took the amateur and professional game by storm in the 1990s He won three successive US Amateur titles before joining the pro ranks and breaking countless records en route to claiming the 1997 Master by 12 shots After honing a more consistent swing with legendary coach Butch Harmon Woods produced arguably the greatest golf that has ever been played in the early 2000s establishing himself as the sport’s dominant force and a global superstar This run included four majors in a row – the Tiger Slam – from the 2000 US Open through to the 2001 Masters one of the greatest achievements in the game’s history nothing that could stop from eclipsing Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 majors and Sam Snead’s 82 PGA Tour wins Woods made the decision to part ways with Harmon and employ the services of Hank Haney who worked with his close friend Mark O’Meara but more swing changes took precious time to embed while most believe he failed to hit the heights he achieved with his previous action “He was in the middle of making 142 cuts in a row and he was winning by 12 and 15 and eight shots in these major championships, and he changed that golf swing,” Chamblee said with incredulity on  the Dan on Golf Show I am now sitting down for the first time ever at a desk as an analyst [in 2004] and the first question I get is: ‘Why would he change that golf swing?’ “It’s the craziest thing in the history of sport what Tiger Woods did there is nothing that comes close in the history of sport “This would be like if Steph Curry decided to change the way he shoots three-pointers.” Woods failed to add to his major haul in 2003 and 2004 as his pursuit of Nicklaus stalled The chase resumed in 2005 and he would go on to win six majors with Haney before the pair parted ways in 2010 One of the driving forces behind the decision to join forces with Haney was that Woods wanted to become more consistent and challenge for titles even when he wasn’t at his absolute best But it’s safe to say Chamblee does not think Haney was the man for the job “Hank Haney was telling Tiger Woods how to play golf and Hank Haney had the driver yips He can’t hit a range and this guy is telling Tiger Woods how to change his golf swing from the greatest golf swing in the history of the game “It was my job to shed a little light on that and I still maintain that’s the craziest thing in the history of sports “The thing that I think is the largest thing to learn from what Tiger Woods did was it cost him two years of his career “No question he would have broken Jack Nicklaus’ major championship record no question he would have broken Sam Snead’s total [PGA Tour] wins on the historic Blues Highway 61 and
