The Daily's Verdict
This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.
Bias
25%
Examples:
- Entitled demands for free passes should be stiff-armed, not indulged.
- Gooch being gifted a tee time at Valhalla is also a warning shot at the PGA Tour.
- If LIV guys meet the criteria for majors, there’s no valid basis for excluding them. If their case is borderline, LIV status shouldn’t count as a strike against. But rewriting that criteria to accommodate players who refuse to make an effort to comply with requirements or wordsmithing cute carveouts is just timorous.
- PGA CHAMPIONSHIP: How to watch | Tournament hub About half of LIV’s contingent is covered by long-established criteria (recent wins, past glories) rather than by dint of invitation, including Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Cam Smith, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Martin Kaymer. Tyrrell Hatton is still No. 18 in the world ranking... Some lesser-knowns are deserving if one brushes the surface of recent performances... That’s 15 of 16.
Conflicts of Interest
100%
Examples:
- Gooch is 668th in the world ranking. He has entered only two tournaments outside LIV since the Open last July and he withdrew from one of them.
Contradictions
75%
Examples:
- The PGA Championship invited Talor Gooch to the tournament despite him being 668th in the world ranking.
Deceptions
40%
Examples:
- Gooch is 668th in the world ranking. He has entered only two tournaments outside LIV since the Open last July and he withdrew from one of them.
- The PGA Championship is signaling its future as being the first to create a pathway for LIV.
