It started out as a simple troll from our friend Ryan Baroff. The problem is, the line between troll and serious take has never been more blurred on the current version of X, formerly known as Twitter.
However, this troll was clear as day, yet a number of folks still took the bait, naturally:
Just to reiterate: this was a joke. Some people still need that spelled out for them on the 'ol internet.
That said, Baroff's tweet got me thinking ... who did have the better Sunday, AK or Scottie? And no, I don't mean who played better or literally had the lower score or played on a harder course or against a tougher field, etc. I mean who had the better overall Sunday for the brand. For the narrative. Who won the day?
When you really think about it, there is a legitimate case to be made for either guy, which is exactly what we debated on this week's episode of The Loop podcast. We also interviewed longtime golf writer Bob Harig, who is releasing his new Tiger Woods book "Drive: The Lasting Legacy of Tiger Woods" later this month.
