Golf Australia were the ones pushing the "inclusion" angle 100 miles an hour originally (and taking all attention away from the Vic Open in the process). It would be the ultimate face palm moment if they were now trying to split them out.

It will be interesting to look back on the last few days on the assumption Netflix are doing Full Swing S3 and Rory's locker room reaction etc post final round.

Golf Digest has already published an article discussing the moments after Rory's loss where the Full Swing cameras were following him in the champions' locker room.

Guessing it's the logistics of the inclusion angle - the extra infrastructure required, two courses, etc. - that makes it less than appealing to GA?

We all feel for him, but pretty unsportsmanlike not to at least congratulate Bryson after the round.

Agree. A quick shake of the hand isn't much to ask. Nor particularly hard to do.

Possibly a tad too harsh? Bringing up examples like Watson-Nicklaus and Norman-Faldo is a bit tough. They were in the same playing groups. Whilst there seems to have become more of a custom for earlier finishers to stick around to congratulate the winner, am not sure there is an absolute tradition of it(or maybe we only see more of it these days with greater coverage)?
I reckon its more a case of yes he should have done it, but it isn't a black mark against his name in perpetuity that he didn't.
Pretty average to not face up yesterday. Needs to better than that. All means nothing today.

Reckon this is a fairer assessment. From Geoff Shackelford
Rory McIlroy. Given he's gracious 99% of the time, I’m in the minority in not caring about the runner-up’s decision to flee town immediately after Sunday’s loss. Yes, he did miss an opportunity to congratulate DeChambeau which was a shame since Bryson seemed genuinely appreciative to compete against McIlroy down the stretch. Not that it would have made the flight home easier. For those flustered at his getaway: post-loss press chats in a locker room corner are so last century. Now the sessions are televised with transcripts and the occasional performative question looking to elicit tears. It’s no secret McIlroy has had stuff going on with his marriage. On the course, he has a lot to reconcile after hitting 46 of 56 fairways (82%) while making the key birdie putts on Sunday that eluded him last year at LACC and at St Andrews in 2022. McIlroy took to Twitter Monday in a note that could not have been fun to pen. But he did congratulate DeChambeau in perfect style. As for the short missed putts down the stretch? The hard-breaking left-to-righter on 18 has been unfairly compared to cringey misses by Doug Sanders and Scott Hoch. The putt on 16? It’s the one he’ll rue since it was his first miss of 496 inside three feet this year. But playing the closing five holes +5 over the last three days ultimately cost McIlroy the win. Still, he delivered stellar play on a golf course that might have annoyed him a decade ago. McIlroy once again reaffirmed an immense drive and all-round skill very deep into a career that appears to have more years of great golf ahead.

It’s not a black mark, more a lack of character.
You are starting to sound like an Eagles fan, always an excuse.

I didn't excuse him. Thought it was ordinary. Just not lifetime-regret worthy.

Tiger Woods has been awarded a lifetime exemption by the PGA Tour to enter all of its designated 'signature' events.
Woods has won 82 PGA Tour titles including 15 majors, but the 48-year-old has struggled with injuries over recent years.
On Tuesday, the PGA's policy board voted to grant Woods a special exemption to play the eight lucrative tournaments, which do not include majors.
"An additional sponsor exemption will be created to recognise Tiger Woods in his own category as a player who has reached an exceptional lifetime achievement threshold of 80-plus career wins," a PGA Tour memo said.

Dear PGA Tour, just when I think you couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this. And totally redeem yourself!
FMD. Other than Pebble and Riviera, what are the chances of TW ever teeing it up anywhere else? Ever?

Just once in the water? Then proceeded to visibly lose his mind as he thought about hitting out from there. His up and down to make the playoff was actually pretty solid!
