I read an article which stated Harmon charges $1500 an hour. Whatever Ricky spent was worth it.

However, Wyndham Clark is not going away. He’s staying in the thick of it.

Fowler went through that phase we've seen from a dozen top young players over the decades where he gets hitched and starts a family.  And then when that all finally levels out, he refocuses on the game. 

He's focused now and it is fun to watch.  Fun guy to root for.

The former PGA streaming plan (before ESPN+ bought the rights) had a lot of that too.

They predetermine groups for coverage before the tourney based on deals with sponsors and golfers that may be surging in performance or popularity. But if the group fizzles in competition they can't alter their coverage due to the sponsor contracts. It's pretty lame, especially if you're paying for the streaming access.
