Now with Brooks’ eye roll footage out there, hilarious by the way, what does everyone think of this “rivalry”? Whose side are you on? I hope they get paired together on the weekend in a major ASAP!

I mean, watching two spoiled rich kids, turned adults, piss and moan at one another is like watching Spaulding Smails talk about how he's gonna get a hot dog...it's funny once but then it's kind of annoying after that.

I think this is just a way to boost their profiles for the $40 million player impact program. I believe when their feud started it was real, but it seems fake to me know as it feels they are trying too hard to make it a thing.

Brooks seems like an ******* who acts like it’s a chore to play golf, Bryson is a know it all who takes every minute detail way too seriously. I’ll take neither, rivalries need to have someone to cheer for.

Just my opinion but Brooks is much easier to root for. Whether he's 7 under or 7 over Bryson is a miserable SOB on the golf course. I doubt there are many players on the tour that like playing with him. Either way, if these guys don't take some weight off and pull back on their swings some neither will have a left knee in 10 years.

I'm taking an optimists approach. Xi and Putin see how these two middle school girls act, and the immense amount of "Oh no he di'n't!" coverage this is getting and just conclude that the US is such a pathetic society it's not worth trying to undercut and destroy anymore and they leave us alone.

It's a battle of who the bigger dbag is....might not be terrible for golf though. Could get more eyeballs watching.

You've captured my thoughts exactly. I'm kind of over Brooks' ****. He just seems so aggrieved all of the times. In listening to interviews and understanding his background, it's almost like he's embarrassed to be a pro golfer as opposed to a basketball player or something. It's like he hates golf but was always too good at it to just give it up.

With Bryson, I can kind of appreciate him taking a new approach to golf. But at the same time he's just a bit too odd for me to root for.

I don't really know why but I kind of root for Bryson. If nothing else I think I relate to him more as I also try to murder the ball off the tee. Unfortunately my drives end up 3 fairways over or 10 yards in front of me after I completely whiff.

I never liked Brooks and what sealed it for me was when he was talking **** about Dustin Johnson having only won one major. Rory had a pretty hilarious line afterwards about how Dustin has 3x more victories than Brooks.

Brooks cost me some cheddar last weekend by his poor putting. As for Bryson, he reminds me of some muscle bound disney character who wants to hit the ball to the moon. But the PGA is going to hype anything they can since Tiger went off roading.

I think Bryson's "mad scientist" moniker was pumped up by the media and that plus the slow play made him an enemy for a lot of fans. Brooksy was a media darling but now is being seen as he really is...a pompous little *****.
