The PGA Tour season resumed after a three month break due to the Covid-19 pandemic

How Social Media Reacted To The PGA Tour’s Return
The PGA Tour season resumed last week at Colonial and there were many big stories as Daniel Berger won his third title.
The return to action, of course, brought about some entertaining tweets and below we pick out some of our favourites from the week with fans and media reacting to the tournament, the new-look Bryson DeChambeau, the Official World Golf Ranking and more –
Xander Schauffele called it a “tough pill to swallow” after missing from 3ft on the 17th hole, a putt that cost him the chance of making the playoff:
Tough pill to swallow, but that's how it goes sometimes. Playing good golf and excited for @RBC_Heritage next week.
Congrats to @DanielBerger59 on the win. pic.twitter.com/2XKLTvYjHD

Instagram golfer Paige Spiranac said “golf is a mean game” after Schauffele’s miss:

Riggs from Barstool Sports also tweeted about Schauffele’s putting:
WOW.
What a weird day. Watched so many drop from way downtown then the tourney ends showing two short misses. That’s golf. What a puzzling game.
Pumped golf is back.

No Laying Up were big fans of Berger and his caddie chatting through his approach in the playoff, heard on the broadcast:
Awesome job catching the player/caddie convo. Berger thinks there's hurting wind, caddie says no hurt, and he airmails it as the flag shows helping wind. Wouldn't know the context if they hadn't laid out and let us hear it. Should be mandatory.

Justin Rose, who finished in T3rd, one back of the the playoff, called it a “very positive week”:
Very positive week… Thanks for all the support #Team

Want to understand golf? Peter Kostis looked at two different approaches to weight:
Want to understand golf? DeChambeau gains 25-30 lbs trying to get better and Woodland loses 25 lbs trying to get better! And both think they're right!

It was a great putting week for Spieth:
Spieth gained 8.6 shots on the field putting last week, including a four putt.

Remarkable that @b_dechambeau has added over a stone-and-a-half (24 pounds apparently) of muscle during lockdown and is still in control of his swing and contending

Talk to me about this new beefcake Bison Dechambeau. Did he mean to do that?
— Georgie Bingham (@georgiebingham) June 14, 2020
A golf pro studies and works his tail off, designs his own equipment, significantly changes his body, trains like no golfer ever, criticized at every turn and as a result gains massive distance and others suggest the rules should be changed to negate his advantage. Sounds fair

—One is a bald 61-year-old who plays a big ol' draw to milk every last yard from his swing.
—The other is a 240-pound 26-year-old with 192 mph ball speed and a loyal Twitch following.Tom Lehman. Bryson DeChambeau. Both shot 65 today at Colonial.

Meanwhile, One Direction singer Niall Horan, founder of Modest! Golf Management was almost brought to tears due to return of golf:
.@PGATOUR I have missed you so much and I am over the moon to see you back! I might have shed a tear watching the broadcast
— Niall Horan (@NiallOfficial) June 11, 2020
Will Gray from the Golf Channel and Eddie Pepperell reacted to the Official World Golf Ranking resuming:
By the time I restart I’m going to be outside the top 100 and 80 yards behind Bryson.
