US Open field & supporting data now completely updated. Field of 156 is set. SmartGolfInfo.com Will import SGI Odds later today; DK salaries tomorrow. Can't wait; Shinnecock can be / will be a beast!
Interesting to ponder the diminution of the brand values of Tiger & Phil over the past 5 yrs. I'm guessing Tiger's has dropped by at least 25%. Phil? Maybe closer to 75%?
So Phil came on to a female at a golf club? It's juicy gossip but basically a non-story, imho; we move on. I assume the 'family health matter' that's allegedly kept him off the course for most of 2026 is still valid?
Fwiw, golfers in next week's US Open field who placed Top10 in 2018 at Shinnecock: Brooksy (1), Tommy Fleetwood (2), DJ (3), Patty Reed (4), Berger (6), Hatton (6), Schauffele (6) & Rose (10).
Nelly Korda now 2-for-2 in 2026 Majors. With Lydia Ko, Jeeno Thitikul & others in decline, there's a chance she'll win all 5? If a male had won this year's first 2 Majors... Suffice to say there'd be a LOT more discussion & prognostication...
US Open qualifying is imminent. Golf's longest day! We'll have an early field live as soon as possible after qualifying is completed. SmartGolfInfo.com
Great win by Eugenio Chacarra in the KLM Open; I'll bet he enjoyed it! It wasn't that long ago that he was one of LIVGolf's exciting young guns & part of its commitment to youth. Then he was sacked by his Furballs captain Sergio Garcia...

I don't believe Sports Illustrated getting rid of its golf-writing team is that big a deal. Firstly, big corps blowing fortunes on AI will become commonplace. Secondly, if writers are good they'll find an outlet for talent. Finally paper publications are doomed in the digital age
Only 105 players so far listed by USGA for the US Open (Shinnecock 18-21 Jun). I can publish a sheet and periodically update the field if there's demand out there. Let me know. SmartGolfInfo.com
