Seamus Power - PGA Tour Winner 2021/22

Really couldn’t get over how well built Seamus Power is - Only noticed it in person

Tall, Stocky etc

There was a medical emergency in the crowd whilst Seamus was playing 1 today. They waited until it had been dealt with before playing on, and apparently a rules official told them they were on the clock because they’d delayed. Seamus said in his post-round interview that his rhythm had been thrown off by that.

Seems very unfair to be put on the clock due to something that happened in the crowd

Followed him today for 5 holes, was fairly disappointing to be honest, just never got going, huge crowd following so lot of pressure I'd say.

Not a great round yesterday but a good start today, need a couple more I think.

The pressure is off Seamus now to retain his card for the PGA tour and his world ranking is fairly well intact also. Sometimes when you don't have as much to play for, your game can go off the boil a bit. He fought like a dag for his tour card and then to get comfortably into the top 50 in the world. He rightly earned a break, but its tough to get back into it when you dont actually "need" to get back into it

I wonder if he would be tempted by the LIV tour? For a late bloomer like himself, he may just be going through his 18 month peak (as Padraig said). He's not particularly well known in the US or Ireland and I think he would avoid much of the flack that higher profile players get.

His prolonged break after the open just makes me think he might quietly be joining LIV after the playoffs.

Given his situation up until a few years ago, the lure of setting himself up for life would be very big imo. He's made serious money of late obviously but LIV is a different ball game and I'm sure he would have to give it some thought from a financial point of view.

However I reckon the chance to play in the Ryder Cup, the fact that he's just recently got a taste for Majors and has done very well in them, would be huge factors to staying on the PGA. And the more golfers that go to LIV, the better the chances of him making more money on the PGA as well. That could be a factor coming more and more into play.

It's would be a very big decision for him imo. I wouldn't like to see him go but I would understand it more than a lot of other golfers.

LIV wouldnt want Seamus. End of discussion

Because he simply doesnt fit the profile of the players that they have pursued

Most golf fans in America or outside Ireland barely knows who he is. They would rather have Bernard Langer to just pick the most random....literally hundreds of players ahead of him from LIV point of view

They would even want a college kid with massive potential ahead of him

Are you trying to tell us that LIV haven't approached all players inside the worlds top 50 with a least 1 offer?? Look at some of the no named dross they have signed up in that last few months??

I'm sorry , you know who they've pursued and who they haven't?

Can you share the insider info or is this pure opinion?

Hes Irish so would take an entire countries following with him, he's irish so would take Irish American followers with him. He's inside the top 50 golfers in the world so would take status and talent with him.

But emm yeah that doesn't fit the profile some randomer on the web has arbitrarily assigned...

Ah, missed that comment about him bringing lots fans.

The more LIV can say "we have X number of players inside the Top 50/20/10", the more they start to legitimise themselves

Just wondering what Seamus might need to do over the next 5 months to retain his place in the top 50 in the OWGR. The recent changes in how the OWGR system works have made it pretty much incomprehensible (which I guess may well be their objective), but Seamus has fallen to 42nd in the latest rankings and may not be high profile enough to get invited to those "wheelbarrow" events where there are easy pickings in both monetary and world ranking point terms.

On the plus side, defections to the LIV tour may help his cause, unless LIV win their court case. Having said that, I guess the key thing is for Seamus to regain his mojo and start performing again at the level we have seen over the second half of last year and the first half of this year.

Justin Rose was left out of the last team alongside other major winners.

He's going to have to qualify to get in, I see little to no chance for a Captain's pick.

With 6 Captain's picks, anybody in form next August/September has a decent chance

Any reason why Seamus is not in Wentworth this week? Are affiliate members not eligible or is it injury/scheduling? He is ranked 36th on the Race to Dubai list so a good few will pass him by this week.
