Nice start in Bermuda: -5 after two rounds, and more to come on the weekend.

2021 could be a crucial season for Luke. His mediacal exemption expired in February 2020 and he used his " career earnings" exemption for the rest of the year which is a one time exemption.

The PGA did announce in May that "Due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in 13 events from the 2019-20 PGA Tour season to be canceled or postponed, the PGA Tour has extended eligibility for exempt 2019-20 PGA Tour members for the 2020-21 season, unless the member’s priority ranking at the conclusion of the 2019-20 season would rank higher in the updated eligibility categories. ". From this I gather Lukes exemption will last this year as he is playing in "The American Express" this weekend.

Time to get the finger out and shoot some low rounds He's too good to drift off into oblivion. That said, it has happened to other top players in the past.

Best of luck this season Luke.

Poor start to 2021 with another missed cut. He had 3 bogeys and a double bogey which didn't help his scores although his stats for the 2nd round were better than round 1.

He is playing in the "Waste Management Phoenix Open" this weekend so I hope he can at least make the cut. I looked at the OWGR on Monday and saw that he is residing in 520th place.

He has a bit a work to do to make the cut. He started his 1st round on the 10th and went par, bogey and then double bogey.

He is playing in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this weekend. He seems to score better at these types of comp so he may manage to make the cut.🤞🤞🤞

-3 for the first day is nice. One of the best scores of the day at Spyglass Hill.

Another missed cut at the Honda Classic with the damage done in the first round at the par 3 17th with a 9. At the start of the week his OWGR was 548 so possibly another drop by monday.

With most of the big names playing at the WGC event this week Luke is playing at the "Corales Puntacana Resort &Club Championship" and should stand a better chance of making the cut and acquiring some FedEx cup points. He is down to 558 in his OWGR ranking.

Just have to wait and see how things go as I am running out of optimism.

There just isn't that spark that he once had. Too many "silly holes" that he just can't recover from and at Tour level that is just a nightmare. Still hoping he can do something to turn things around as his swing still looks wonderful.
