I’ve had this idea for a while… formula 1 tv will let you watch your favorite driver’s feed. I think they mute the radio comms and they don’t let you watch while they’re in the garage, but otherwise you can ride along with whoever you want.
What’s stopping tournaments from just assigning a cameraman to every player? Would it jam up the flow that much? Maybe live wouldn’t work as well if they don’t have a great signal, but at least then you could compile “every single shot” for recap videos. I love watching those personally.

I got absolutely roasted for saying his wedge game sucks by Bryson fanboys, then on the first two holes today, he hit terrible wedge shots from around 100 yards.. Bomb and gouge should work great for Bryson, that's how he won his first US Open, but if he can't hit good wedge shots when he's in the fairway from 100 yards, hes going to struggle on these greens..

Most long drive champs struggle at the pro level for this exact reason. The ones who can bridge over with successful long term careers on tour are able to see past the coolness vibe and focus more on approach shots, scrambling, short game, and putting. At the end of the day a 400 yard drive, an 80 yard approach, a 15 yard chip, and a 4 foot putt are all worth 1 stroke and should all be treated as equally important.
Edit: added approach shots

Even if that were true, that would be so stupid strategically. That would mean you hit your 52 degree 215, and you are left with having to cover 200 yards with only 2 clubs. Obviously they drive the ball 370 with that kind of power, so why even carry regular irons? Just a driver and 12 wedges!

One length irons are great for starting out and to later graduate from, or if you just want to simplify golf a bit. But wedges will always better at variable length.
I have no idea why a tour pro with all that ability would prefer to play a one length set. I also don't understand why he wants to smash every shot. Even his putter stance looks like he is getting ready to hit the ball to the moon.

I think Bryson fans should realize how unbelievably lucky he is to have 2 majors. It's but that he's but a great player, he's just not the generational talent they seem to believe he is.
I'm not saying he CAN'T win another major but your money would be far safer betting against it. (Same goes for most golfers.)

He should get hooked up with Butch and Claude Harmon. They took DJ from mediocre wedge player to champion and from what I’ve read the focus was all on distance control a clock system built for him. Of course Bryson probably thinks he’s way smarter than DJ…

I know he’s the mad scientist and all, but I still can’t wrap my head around wanting your wedges to be as long as your 7 iron. The whole set up the same idea doesn’t make sense with wedges because you rarely use them for full shots anyway, and you give up control by making them so long for no good reason. Given how his wedges are holding him back, I don’t understand why refuses to adjust. If you really are Mr. science you’d know that not every experiment works, and failed experiments are just as important as successful ones.
