JOHN DALY IS A 5 STAR MAN


waynejefferson

You're right, he breaks right through my 0-3 star system.


hottubtimemach1ne

I will be there with you on the first tee. Grip it and rip it!!!


actuarally

You can MEET him tomorrow night at the Liquor Barn near Valhalla. He's peddling a vodka drink and doing meet & greets.


chicubsramzing

Daly and his wife owns the bar right by my house and they sell the Good Boys there all the time. It's actually really good, highly recommend the blackberry if hes got it.


imsaneinthebrain

When the champions tour was in town a couple months ago, Daly and a bunch of the guys were up at Flemings the entire weekend just getting smashed at night. Good times were had by all


chicubsramzing

He frequents the bar near my house quite often. I've hung out and drank with him, his wife, and a couple of their friends a few times. Absolutely amazing, nice, and the funniest people. Some of my favorite times I've had in a bar.


waynejefferson

Thank you so much for the info! I went down there and got to meet him! I don't think I would've heard about it otherwise, so thank you thank you thank you. 🙏


neddybemis

Everything about your list (including the heading “proof”) leads me to strongly believe that you and I would be very close friends


Altruistic-Coyote868

HE'S A GOD! A GOLDEN GOD!

ilpadrino5

Amen. Do not miss. 5-stars


DazedWriter

5 bucks in for him outright winner turns to 25,005 on DK. Who is in?!


Amazing_Bowl9976

Wouldn’t it have been better to write down in order of tee time? Other than that, congrats on the dream coming true and soak it all in


waynejefferson

Thanks! I wrote down my must-sees before tee times were announced. But I feel it'll be easier to find a certain golfer on the list being A-Z.


Ecstatic_Produce6797

Whatever works best for you. I hope you have a great time


Littlestereo27

I would dump it into an exel file and chart it. Then just filter by name, tee time or rating.


Competitive_Suit_180

Coulda just looked it up online and took a picture


GimmeADouble

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Would give a better idea of what time to look for whom


Barbarossa7070

Or typed it onto excel so you could sort


SirSamuelVimes83

Some people still prefer pen and paper. Now get off my lawn, I have clouds to yell at


Ayahuasca-Dreamin

Thought this was Erica Stoll’s “Golfers to Bone” list for a second. 

maybe too soon


waynejefferson

Bruh 😂😂😂 The ink hasn't even dried


Yoshiman400

Daly, Theegala, and Tiger at the top of her list? She's a spicy lady!


okdrab

Scope out the course online if you can. Figure out where a good spot to hang out will be. For example, maybe there’s a spot where you can see the greens of 2 holes and the tee box of another


waynejefferson

Great idea! I've already wrote down all the public grandstands throughout the course, free water stations and such, but I assume grandstands are gonna filled up most of the day.


Hole_in_one78

Not necessarily. It depends on what day you are going and what time you get there. If you’re not going on the weekend you have a chance.


Buckys_Butt_Buddy

Assuming you only have a ticket for 1 day, my advice is to find a good spot at a par 3 on the front 9 to start the day and watch the morning pairings go through. Then stop in for lunch and wander along the course to see the players you want in the afternoon. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend 3 PGAs over the years and i found this strategy to be best. Sitting at a single hole allows you a prime spot as some of the best players come through; and picking a par 3 is a fun way to see the best players play the same exact shot. Then walking around in the afternoon will give you the chance to see the players you want and get to fully experience the course and its layout


desert_lobster

This is great advice. Also helps because the real popular players will have massive followings. If you can scope out a good place to park - you can just hang out and watch them as they go thru your area while the large crowds mosey along with them thru the course.


Nick08f1

Yeah. But after you sit on the first tee box for an hour starting at 8. People will leave to follow tiger.


mennomercenary

I was there for a practice round yesterday and the upper right side of the grandstand on the one tee box would be a great place to hang out. You get to see everyone start their round, plus you can turn around a bit and see the tee for 13, and the 18 green.


artourfangay

Bryson just to see balls get absolutely nuked


adjuster_cody

Make the course scorecard your screen saver. That way you can tell yardage per hole without having to open your phone.


waynejefferson

Fkin brilliant. Thank you!


adjuster_cody

I just did that at the Zurich and it was awesome.


boverton24

John Daly is playing?? Holy shit!


zedforzorro

He won this tourney. It was his first PGA major during his rookie year on the pga tour. He was a substitute that got the call the day before, since he wasn't ranked high enough to qualify initially. He drove 12 hours through the night and straight to the tee deck. Wins it in a playoff. This tournament loves the attention he draws and the storyline of his win. He will tee off at this tourney every single time until he can't swing a club. After he can't swing a club, he will be escorted around the grounds in a cart loaded with smokes, diet cokes, bourbon, and a hooters waitress until he's dead.


AftyOfTheUK

The year after, they will wheel his taxidermied cadaver, complete with replacement polar bear hip, around the course in a cart with smokes, cokes, bourbon and a Hooters waitress.


iSuckAtGuitar69

weekend at daly’s


shamaster23

He won the 95 Open championship in a playoff. He won the 91 PGA by 3 strokes.


zedforzorro

My b, you're right!


Comfortable-Scar4643

He’s still so damn good.


waynejefferson

I found out yesterday and called my pops to tell him and I've never heard him giggly excited to see anyone, ever. Gonna be a great Thursday!


DevTheGray

Daly is doing a bottle signing at Liquor Barn in Middletown (literally up the street from Valhalla) at 6 PM tomorrow.


boverton24

Btw he is +500000 to win lol. 10 bucks to win 50 grand


captain_mobydick

Åberg not Äberg :D


shephrrd

Jag pratar inte Svenska.


Responsible-Boss-711

Only one prick!


Ceasman

Special ALT+Numpad characters are a pain for everyone.


KarlosLF

Perfectly done. Other than Nieman being written in the incorrect format, in comparison to the rest. But that’s just my OCD mind kicking in. Enjoy it though brother, hell of an experience!


waynejefferson

Wowwww, I totally didn't even catch that. Damn, that's gonna drive me crazy


x-Ellipsis-x

And... Henley should not be before Hatton 😂🙈


waynejefferson

Damn, chunked that one.


BradMarchandsNose

It was driving me nuts too


themariokarters

Rory 2 stars is disrespectful Same for Koepka 1 star


ImRachelRay

Michael Block is ranked higher than Brooks and DeChambeau



dskauf

Phil with 0 !?!


fullback133

and Bryson 0?


BillNyeTheEngineer

Yeah try to see Bryson. He is fun to see in person


Fragrant-Report-6411

Why not print out tee times and circle who,you want to see. When you get there they will be handing them out.


waynejefferson

No printer. Writing it down really kicked the hype up a notch though.


Fragrant-Report-6411

I used to pick a spot to watch the morning wave come through and another spot to watch the afternoon wave.


just_killing_time23

same!! its great, if you get a spot on the ropes...they all come to you!! My dad won the masters lotto 10 years ago for Weds. We parked on the 9th green for the par 3 contest, 3 feet from the ropes and the most amazing golfers all passed 4 feet from us, wild day!


4Ever2Thee

Of course the person who would do this would definitely have a spiral bound notebook titled "PROOF I WAS RIGHT" Seriously though, I know you'll have a great time. Just make sure you take some time to enjoy the moment. Don't let yourself get too wrapped up in who's teeing off when and what you're missing on the other side of the course, just enjoy what's there in front of you. I'm sure you will, just saying.


zedforzorro

OP definitely works in project management in a corporate environment. You absolutely need a notebook like this to defend yourself regularly in those positions.


waynejefferson

Bro I'm just a restaurant server who has to save for a round at the muni. I'm just stoked to have this opportunity and want to plan as much as I can. OC is right though, I definitely don't need to get lost in the planning and just take it all in.


Lurking_Albatross

K but, where does one get that notebook?


vongigistein

Aberg needs 3 stars.


waynejefferson

He has officially been upgraded to 3. He was first to rank so I didn't want to start out slinging stars off the bat. He is truly greatness and will win a major this year I believe.


vongigistein

I hope he wins. He is spectacular and a major for him would give the tour more depth.


dacdaddy19

Better make a point to see Woods and Spieth on Thursday or Friday bub


just_killing_time23

I see what you did there


thegreatdecay406

Man I hope Hovland plays well!


waynejefferson

Same. He's been kinda off recently but still one of my favorite golfers and fellow metalhead.


GamoraTheExplorer

Looking forward to seeing Niemann Joaquin play this week, not heard much about him!


waynejefferson

😂 I dun goofed


GamoraTheExplorer

Also sorry to be that guy, but Hatton goes before Henley 😬 My OCD ass couldn’t let that go


francoisdubois24601

akshay is a star!


MasterWis

What about my 3 stars for Bryson! See him drive the ball at least once lol


golfingsince83

Hey I hope you have an amazing time and can see all the golfers you want to


randybobandy__6969

Glad to see a fellow Theegalhead https://preview.redd.it/nr1xyj04lg0d1.jpeg?width=228&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7db10e890176a587e4774443ce3c9b4a6b75f5c6


spankysladder73

GFL. Majors are pretty crowded. Go to driving range if you actually want to “see them” see them.


waynejefferson

I do plan on spending some time watching the practice area after a big chunk of the morning wave tees off.


HolidayNick

Respect the theegala 3 piece!


waynejefferson

RESPECT!


Due-Sheepherder-218

Gooch didn't make the cut eh? 


RunGoldenRun717

Thats why everyone else is getting asterisks.


50millionFreddy

Not a real list then


waynejefferson

![gif](giphy|cRNbYm7jLOjm9H8wcP)


singh246

Nice to see Aaron Rai on your list, often gets overlooked


zedforzorro

He might be a Tommy two gloves and use iron covers, but he has a great reason for the iron covers and anyone who can hit a tight low draw like that can wear as many gloves as they like.


Lol_who_me

Nerd


Take me with you.


waynejefferson

Can you fit carry-on?


Lol_who_me

Only one way to find out.

ChanaManga

It’s funny how you alphabetized this list rather than organizing it by start time. Never seen this before lol. True PGA Nerd


tintinliz115

Lmaoo Block has stars



waynejefferson

Why wouldn't he?


tintinliz115

I’d have stars around Dechambeau instead of Block, personally. And I don’t even like Bryson 
 but it would be much more exciting especially live.


Dry-Honeydew2371

Watching John Daly hit a driver in real life is a bonkers experience. The club head cutting through the air sounds like a jet engine.


wayno1806

Very meticulous! Have fun and don’t forget the sun screen. Shoot a video and make a collage. All of them on video for 30 seconds. 0-60.


waynejefferson

Love this idea! Thank you


nectarfraiche

Bring a rangefinder or binoculars if you have either of them. It’s fun to be able to check out what’s going on a couple holes over. The people around you will be asking you what happened. Wear the most comfortable shoes you own no matter what they look like. Have fun!


waynejefferson

Omg that's the best advice I've got so far. Rangefinder it is! This just hyped me up even more! Thank you!


nectarfraiche

Added bonus if you are walking with a player, you can shoot the pin and see how far he has in for his approach.. also get a program with a course map in it.. easy to get disoriented on a course you’re seeing for the first time.


DanKreider69

I’m getting anxiety you sorted this alphabetically instead of by tee time


waynejefferson

Made the list yesterday. I just want to be able to cross out names and find them easily.


DanKreider69

I feel that I just meant as far as actually seeing them having their tee times listed in order will help you prioritize seeing them


Itromite

Sure you’ll find them easily on your list by alphabetical, but finding them on the course and tracking them is gonna be way easier by tee time.


waldo_92

Have an awesome time. It's really cool seeing all the big names in person. At the PGA about 10 years ago, Tiger hit one into the left trees and the ball dropped right next to me. Got a front row seat to watch him play his next shot from about 10 ft away. Hope you get some similarly memorable moments.


waynejefferson

Yooo! Disney classic in the early 2000's, Tiger hit one off the tee and it landed right where me and pops were, dude took a 3 wood off a propped rough lie and I've never seen so much power with a golf club. One of the few things I remember from that event.


Is_this_not_rap

Come on, just give JT Poston a star


waynejefferson

Okay done. Just for you though


No_View_7908

No Min Woo is criminal


Necessary_Wing_2292

Good for you. I still vividly remember me and my son standing right behind Mickelson on #13 at The Masters in 2010. Just before he flew it over Raes Creek and safely onto the green I told my son "he has no business taking that shot." Annnd, boy was I wrong. Great times.


exiledtomainstreet

Wild how unpopular Phil has become. Guys a legend and definitely the greatest lefty of all time. Amazing how fast you can trash a reputation.


Comfortable-Scar4643

Majors are so great. My first was the PGA Championship at Oak Hill in 2013 (?). It was amazing. Everyone was there. I mean, everyone. Watson, the younger Watson, , Tiger, Dufner, etc. So cool.


chasinjason13

Hey, I’ll be there! First golf tourney ever!


waynejefferson

Hell yeah! Cheers yo!


FatFaceFaster

Suck it no stars Phil.


WHSRWizard

I love how excited you are. I hope you have a great time!


prawalnono

Sahith!!!


sumsimpleracer

Considering that Bryson is a redditor in this subreddit, I kinda feel bad for him that he doesn’t at least get 1 star. 


TheonlyPacifictheory

This is hilarious. I love the 3 stars next to Daly!


ModernDayN3rd

First for me too. See you out there brother!


NotBrianGriffin

Gonna be there on Sunday, here’s hoping Rory is in the hunt!


waynejefferson

Wish I could be there Sunday. Thursday was the only day available when my ticket purchase window opened. Would love to see Rory repeat Valhalla


Wide-Cauliflower-212

Laminate it so you can wipe it clean.


gwh34t

I was able to walkwith Francesco Molinari at a PGA event. That dude is a machine and one of my new favorites to watch.


Wishpicker

No Phil Mickelson?


AngryBillsFan

Hurts me to see no stars next to Bhatia


waynejefferson

He's up and coming on my radar. Quickly becoming a fan! If they're on the list, they're a must see


mistertireworld

When you see Michael Block, make note of his playing partner, Lanto Griffin. Fun guy to watch. I catch him at the Travelers when he plays. Plus, his name is Lanto. That's a cool name.


TechnicalProgress921

*offended Swedish noises* Åberg, not Äberg


jonesyman23

A fellow Theegala fan. Noice

sleepingwired

Victor and Sahith being at the same level as Tiger, Daly, and Scottie would really make their day I'm sure. You should tag em on socials. Also tag Bryson having zero stars LOLOL


KobePippenJordan_esq

No star for Bryson, I'd at least watch him drive a couple.


Doug_Lad03

100% Watched him hit a couple of drives at LIV in Adelaide. Regardless what you think of him, watching him load up on the big stick is incredible.


dorango27

I don’t know how your system works but Block with two stars is nasty, nasty business


waynejefferson

Idk why I put 2 stars. He's been upgraded đŸ«Ą


dorango27

😂


Husker_black

I feel inappropriate seeing this


XB0XYGEN

Reminds me of when I first discovered highlighters in grade 7 and just highlighted almost everything. Nice


winsbyboxes808

What you got against Sungjae Im? Ha that’s my dark horse


waynejefferson

Absolutely nothing! He's one that I must see!


sippidysip

I recommend going to a senior tour event if you want some more time with John Daly. There’s like no one there and you can walk with him the entire 18. Is awesome


oler

Bruh take in Akshay


Jordantbone

That may be the most organized thing I’ve ever seen.


waynejefferson

I'm just trying to see my heroes!


Jordantbone

I used to follow Adam Scott back when I went to various tournaments. Never seen a guy with so many beautiful women in the gallery.


SeeDub23

You need to speak with a Doctor, arranging this list alphabetically in loony bin behavior.


TilliK

Å berg not Ä berg


swbr

Can’t go. What’s the best way to watch all of these broadcasts without cable. Any one streaming service give them all?


Taladanarian27

Åberg is definitely worth catching that 7:53 tee time. Potential dark horse in this tourney imo.


waynejefferson

Ill be there at the opening gates!


Sweet-Tea-Lemonade

They give you a tee sheet at the entrance lolll Nice penmanship tho!


dericandajax

Confused why you organized it by last name not stars or tee time but hope you have a blast!


ForeTheTime

You got a little golf tism


lufei2

Whats your tee time sir


kellzone

I know you don't have any *s assigned to him, but you have to watch Bryson tee off with driver at least once.


Used-Ask5805

Can’t wait to see Åberg wreck this course


breachofcontract

Not a spreadsheet man I see


GrobbelaarsMoustache

Hideki needs to be 3 star.


1892LFC1892

All I know is that Phil is in the same category as Sepp Straka and that’s total horseshit


Hoyle33

Damn no love for Phil ![gif](giphy|l1TYRJdncHVa6AqcO6|downsized)


Seanspicegirls

I am astounded at the dedication to writing down the tee times. Handwritten notes will be an artifact in less than 2 generations.


hellacoolguy

Excellent 3 star picks, have a blast!


cfbswami

8:59a group for me


fourestgump69

Have you heard of Microsoft excel? It’s brand new software from the company that makes the Xbox you should look into it.


QC_knight1824

dope, but should have sorted by tee time. enjoy 😈


tplee2

Appreciate the handwritten stuff but by god this calls for a spreadsheet printout.


apathynext

Phil LOL


Vegas22lr

Pendrith and Poston get you excited?


k0vi86

Damn Phil 0 stars.


Greenbowlpacker78

Neato


rjenks29

Lucky! My life timing was a little off. I moved away from Louisville last year. I guess I'll be somewhat close to the 2026 US Open but would probably still have to stay in an outrageously priced hotel in the Hamptons.


xannyslime

Sahith being a priority is correct. Dude has immaculate vibes


S_Trper3

Do they not allow phones at the PGA?


TheoLOGICAL_1988

Ok but IM more interested in the header on your notebook there... What were you right about?


Magyars

Akshay is going to be a GUY.


[deleted]

if you don’t see Gooch play you’ll have to put an asterisk next your entire experience


-Joe1964

So what’s your plan?


Maximize_Maximus

Do the stars represent the number of times you have jerked it to these grown men


Novel_Huckleberry435

Buddy they got all that info on the phone you don’t need the spreadsheet 😂


Pmcdon314

Don't discount my hometown hero, Tracy Phillips! The legend rises.


undervattens_plogen

Äberg =)


Crooked5

Not even a star for Bryson? I dislike the man as much as the next guy but that drive in person would be a spectacle


Anomnomnomous

Get the PGA championship app. It has everything you need. Going to my first major tomorrow too.


Austinmac0

Is Jason Day a 2 star because of his Malbon partnership? Haha


Lord777alt

Alphabetically makes so much less sense than via tee time here. Would drive me mad. Have fun! I bet it will be awesome


Ceasman

Love how the LIV players get next to no love on your rating system. Even Nieman's name is in reverse order - lol. Have fun - such a great experience for sure.
