The Current State of Golf

Image
The world is going through a lot of changes right now. People are being locked down, worrying, and waiting to see what will happen next. The once comforting embrace of sports is gone, and golf was a heavy victim of this. The PGA Tour has cancelled and postponed many events. The last PGA Tour golf event that many will see for the foreseeable future was the Arnold Palmer Invitational held from March 5th to 8th in Orlando, Florida.

Instantly I knew I was in the right place when I walked in the door. He had an awesome set up that included and nice open hit

This past week the Arnold Palmer Invitational took place at Bay Hill in Orlando, Florida. This year’s tournament turned out to be difficult for the fan favorites’ Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and other top ranked players. However, the British Tyrell Hatton showed up and did his job to take home his very first PGA Tour victory.  During the first two rounds, the leaderboard was showing very low scores, with Rory McIlroy shooting a 66 the first day and going into the weekend with 7-under-par from Tyrrell Hatton and Sun Kang sharing the lead. However, round 3 was a tough windy day for the professionals with Max Homa having the lowest score at 2-under-par, something unusual to see at a PGA tour event, but the British T
