The most Physical Sports to play without any doubt are
1. Soccer (no huddles-just constant running, etc.)
2. Basketball 3. Aussie Rules (see Soccer)
4. Ruby 5. etc.
GOLF would be way down on that list but commands the #1 spot for thje sport that requires the most THINKING & Patience.
I agree with you on golf -- strategy, steady nerves and finesse. I think I'd add boxing to the list of physical sports, for sure. You are CORRECT = I missed Boxing.
Jim Nantz says Phil Mickelson once suffered a fantasy football loss so devastating that it may have affected his play on the golf course.

The PGA Championship starts tomorrow at Southern Hills near Tulsa. As you might expect, Masters winner and current flavor of the month Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win, going off at 11-1. And he really has been solid and it's hard not to like his game right now. But -- and this made me wonder if DoMe was at the bottom of this -- the largest individual bet was $20,000 in cash money at Caesars Palace on a 60-1 Tiger Woods. There's a crisp $1.2 million to be made here if El Tigre can catch lightning in a bottle.
Just a wild guess, but I like the way Rory has looked lately, almost like he's been building toward this. Rahm and Justin Thomas are in my mix too, but these things are impossible to gauge. I used to run the office gambling pools for the majors, but I still don't know how you make money off of these without a lot of hedging. For the record, I don't have a centavo invested in this.
I just wondered if DoMe was prepared to acknowledge his involvement in the Tiger Woods incident.
And it's really sad to me that Phil isn't even here to defend his title. It takes a lot of the pleasure out of it for me. He has some serious issues, and even Rory, who was the first to jump on Lefty for the Saudi tour fiasco, sounded rueful that he wouldn't be at the PGA. It's not good for golf.

Homa is one of my sleepers, and Morikawa should definitely be in the conversation as well. One of these days Ancer is going to surprise people. Zalatoris is another up and comer I like. Still waiting for Varner to make a big move. A likeable guy, but he doesn't seem to have the killer instinct. |

Still waiting for Varner to make a big move. A likeable guy, but he doesn't seem to have the killer instinct. FINALLY!!! A win = Either Thomas or Zalatoris.
If Thomas wins I Gross 13,600 and ONLY NET $2,000. But a WIN IS A WIN. Finally...
If Zalatoris wins I Gross $16,000 and Net $5,000.
If with the win it barely puts a dent in my Losses for 2022.
But A WIN feels good...

Phil Mickelson Signs LIV Golf Contract Reportedly Worth Approximately $200M
Joseph ZuckerJune 6, 2022
Phil Mickelson has signed with LIV Golf, the breakaway golf tour backed by Saudi Arabia.
Mickelson noted he still intends to play in majors.
Brentley Romine of Golf Channel reported Mickelson's contract is worth in the range of $200 million.
Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post reported Mickelson will compete in LIV Golf's inaugural event in London, which begins Thursday. The details of his deal aren't yet known.
The 51-year-old is the biggest star to align himself with LIV Golf, a group that includes Dustin Johnson, Graeme McDowell, Louis Oosthuizen and Kevin Na.
Monday's news was widely expected after Mickelson telegraphed his intentions during an interview with Fire Pit Collective's Alan Shipnuck.
The six-time major champion described the Saudi regime as "scary motherf--kers" who "have a horrible record on human rights." Still, he said the Saudi league was "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates."
The comments drew widespread derision, including from Mickelson's peers. He issued a statement apologizing for the remarks:
Mickelson effectively became persona non grata on the PGA Tour. He hasn't competed since the Farmers Insurance Open in January, and ESPN's Mark Schlabach and Kevin Van Valkenburg reported that some question whether he'll ever be back on the tour.
Ahead of the Memorial Tournament last week, the PGA Tour issued a statement about LIV Golf.
"As communicated to our entire membership on May 10, PGA Tour members have not been authorized to participate in the Saudi Golf League's London event, under PGA Tour Tournament Regulations," the tour said, per Schlabach.
"Members who violate the Tournament Regulations are subject to disciplinary action."
Although Mickelson indicated his desire to compete in golf's four major tournaments, it's unclear whether signing with LIV Golf will jeopardize his—and others'—eligibility for those events.
The 2022 U.S. Open tees off June 16, and Mickelson is among those who have qualified for the event. Whether he plays could be the first big test of how well the PGA Tour can fight off the threat LIV Golf poses.
