Why there’s less ‘bravado’ in pro golf today, according to Brandel Chamblee

Brandel Chamblee commented on the less “bravado” in professional golf today. With many older players retiring, the scene is changing with young players such as Scottie Scheffler emerging. Chamblee noted that these younger players have less cocksure attitudes both on and off the course. They are more serious about improving their skills, are more respectful of their peers, and are more focused on building a lasting legacy. According to Chamblee, this shift is due to the new generation’s upbringing, social media, and increased competition.

**PGA Championship Extends Special Invite to Talor Gooch**

Despite his affiliation with LIV Golf, Talor Gooch has received a special exemption to compete in the 2023 PGA Championship. The decision was made by the PGA of America, which believes Gooch deserves a place in the field based on his play.

Gooch, a nine-time PGA Tour winner, ranked 20th in the world prior to his move to LIV. The PGA of America’s exemption means he will avoid the need to qualify through the Open Championship for a spot in the U.S. Open.

The inclusion of Gooch is a controversial one, as the PGA Tour has suspended LIV Golf members. However, the PGA of America maintains that its decision is based on merit, not affiliation.
