2022 in Golf with Tom Jacobs

In today's episode, Tom Jacobs and I look back at the 2022 golf campaign. First, we look back at who was the best golfer. Did Scottie Scheffler's hot start carry him, or did Cameron Smith or Rory Mcllroy catch him? Speaking of Rory, he became one of the PGA Tour's leading voices when so many top golfers left for the rival LIV Tour throughout 2022. Throughout 2022, several young golfers became bigger names. Which young golfer enjoyed the best season? Tom then asks me who improved the most in 2022? Could Matt Fitzpatrick's driving improvement have led to him winning a major? We then look back at golf's craziest events in 2022. Tom references March's Players Championship with so many delays as one example. Where does Mito Pereira's 18th hole collapse rank at the PGA Championship rank? Could Will Zalatoris' first win over Sepp Straka in Memphis top every other moment? We then talk about the Los Angeles Country Club, which will host June's U.S. Open. How will this venue play? We then talk about whether the LIV Tour will impact golf now and going forward. Will it be strange to see Rory and a LIV player in the final pairing of a major? In ending this episode, I asked for bold predictions for the 2023 golf season. Tom's answer surprises me.
