Social Media Girls

She wasn't the only one cheating, what she did was stupid(pushing down gras) but not a big deal, Malosi cheated on a complete different level. He didn't just cheated multiple times, he also didn't push the gras down like Paige, he ripped it out.
I still think all the cheating was marketing, the videos of II skyrocketed and are now over 20 million. That means more people watched this Youtube event than the masters.

The difference is, 300 pound polynesian man Malosi doesn't have a discussion thread on here.

Paige's cheating was absolutely a big deal. Every legitimate golfer knows that is completely against the basic rules of golf, whether you played professionally, D1 scholarship, or you're just in a Tuesday night beer league playing for bragging rights. I was 10 years old playing in junior tournaments...I was fully aware of that rule before I had pubic hair.

Her reaction to it (acting like she didn't know she wasn't allowed to do that) and then immediately start crying her eyes out was pathetic. Because she definitely knows you can't do that...for god's sakes she routinely posts videos talking about the rules of golf and giving course management and swing tips to beginner golfers.

The only reason for her to start crying is because she realized she just trapped herself in a horrible lie where she now has to commit to the act that she doesn't know you can't clear out grass to create a path for the club/ball in the fescue. So if that's the case, then it completely delegitimizes her as a sports/golf commentator (something she has spent years aspiring to become).....OR.....she's just a dirty rotten liar that was cheating to gain an edge with a million dollars on the line. Either option is really bad for her "cute bubbly girl athletic next door" persona. She's also an emotional train wreck because she started crying and couldn't pull herself together for the next 12 holes....literally 3+ hours of her sniffing up her boogers and tears.

only the guys who hated her before are hating her even more, the rest of us doesn't give a shit. a million isn't as much as you guys think it is. I wish people would be as angry about PGA Pros cheating(there is an entire fucking list) as they are about Paige and Malosi. I don't like Malosi, but threatening his family and telling Paige to delete herself because of this is wild. And just a little edit, you should see this entire shit show as entertainment. No judges or officials, a PGA Player, and the treatment of Kwon(they ripped him a second asshole for nothing) at the beginning should have been enough to know.

I couldn't possibly disagree with you more. Whatever "hate" she or Malosi are getting is just the internet doing internet things. They both chose to go down the influencer/content creator career path and all of the love or hate they receive from the internet is to be expected, and therefor, it's deserved. I pay attention to Paige for what she looks like and nothing else. She can cheat and lie all she wants...just keep posing for the camera.

You saying that "a million is as much as you think it is" tells me that you have never played serious golf with legitimate money on the line. I have played in events with prize pools in the $30-40,000 range. It doesn't matter how much money you have in your investment accounts, you get nervous and your mental game and the feel that runs through your body totally changes when every swing/putt could be the difference in thousands of dollars. Professional golfers get nervous over $20 putts because they don't want to lose to their friend. Your competitive juices get flowing and as much as you want to earn the money, you especially don't want to watch your competitor get to celebrate on the 18th green. If you don't understand that, then you're just not an athlete and you've never played any sport under pressure.

Of course the whole thing is meant for "entertainment." What else would it be? That's literally the sole purpose of any sport we are watching on TV. But the money is real and the golf is real. They were trying to manufacture drama the entire event with Dave throwing extra money around to try to get the players to do something selfish for themselves and risk everything for their team. In the end, they didn't have to manufacture any of this drama because it happened on it's own with obvious and blatant cheating, and then tons of cringey lying to try to cover it up.

Kwon got everything he deserved. A pro golfer sleeping through a 9:30 tee time is inexcusable. He did it the day before for a video shoot with the Bryan brothers....obviously that's not a big deal because it's just a meaningless round for another boring video to fill up the week. But to do it two days in a row...and then other information came out that he has been doing that since he was in college...it just shows what an inconsiderate, spoiled, country club brat he is. He needs his mommy to wake him up and iron his clothes for him. This event had about as much, if not more money on the line than anything he has ever played for on the Asian tour or Korn Ferry. And to play it off like he didn't care showed what a clown he is. This was a team event, and he screwed the other people on his team. They would have easily won that match (had he been on time) and that would have changed everything for the afternoon round.

The online personalities that played in the invitational got exposed for who they truly are...Paige, Malosi, Kwon, and others. When they are on their own youtube channels playing their no-stakes hit-and-giggle golf, they can act and edit their content to paint any type of picture they want. But when they gave up control of the final edit to barstool, and submitted to the fact that there were like 50 cameras capturing everything, we all got to see their true selves. Character isn't determined by how people act when they know people are watching, it's how people act when they think no one is watching. All of that was scummy behavior....from people who portray themselves as happy-go-lucky, innocent, friendly people.
