Not to hijack the thread. But random question.

Had a close friend who played for OK and we were discussing NIL and the upcoming legal settlement. He told me that the PGA is forbidding amatuer players from accepting anything from that settlement as that would endanger their amatuer status? And again, this is PGA and not SMU or NCAA.

I probably phrased that poorly but curious if anybody has knowledge of what I'm trying to say.

Don't know about the impact of the House settlement but we had a local player here in my area (Caleb Suratt) who took NIL money to play at Tennessee as a FR and that didn't affect his amateur status. He left after one season to join John Rahm's LIV team where he is doing pretty well

Meanwhile, Mac & Harry opened the Byron Nelson with 3 under rounds that have them in position to make the cut but are chasing a 10 under pace set by Scottie Scheffler. Noah is at even par and will have to go really low today to play the weekend

Mac finishes his rain delayed 2nd round and is in at 5 under so should make the cut but Harry & Noah are done for this year's Byron Nelson

Mac finishes T-65th and 29 shots back but at least he earns another check

DeChambeau was amongst PGA Tour's top 50 highest earners of all time before making his shocking jump to LIV Golf. Bryson DeChambeau spent nearly seven years at the PGA Tour while it only took him three years at the LIV Golf to overtake.
