The PGA Tour moves to the hot-seat capital of the golf world this week.Every player arriving to the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale will be on a hot seat at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, with about 20,000 rowdy fans waiting to greet him amid the most raucous atmosphere in the game.Our official declaration of The Hot Seat designees, however, isnt limited to Phoenix. You dont even have to be playing this week to occupy one of the toastiest seats in the game. Just ask Suzann Pettersen.Heres our special weekly gauge of the heat that top players are facing this week:Sonoran slow roast: J.B. HolmesHolmes couldnt pick a wilder venue to go to in the wake of the controversy that erupted following his slow play in Sundays finish to the Farmers Insurance Open.The stadium built around TPC Scottsdales 16th hole is golfs version of the Roman Coliseum. Its like Holmes is throwing himself to the lions there, but, hey, hes one of their former champions. Its the 10-year anniversary of his victory in Phoenix, and, again, everybody is on the hot seat there.The phrase grin and bear it wasnt heard first at the 16th at TPC Scottsdale, but the approach is practically advanced philosophy there.
Texas Gunslinger Habanero: Jordan SpiethBig names are off to big starts in 2018.Dustin Johnson is already on the board with a victory at the Sentry Tournament of Champions at years start. Jon Rahm won the CareerBuilder Challenge two weeks ago, and Jason Day won the Farmers Insurance Open last weekend.Rory McIlroy hasnt won yet, but hes looking poised to pounce with a second-place finish and a tie for third in his first two starts of the year.Spieth would love to answer in Phoenix, where he has two top-10 finishes in two starts. He will be playing with Justin Thomas in the first two rounds, with Thomas also eager to get on the board with an early win after a fast start last year helped him claim the PGA Tour Player of the Year award.
Political Hot Potato: Suzann PettersenPettersen isnt playing this week, but she is in headlines around the globe, and not just on golf websites or sports sections.Pettersens name recognition skyrocketed, with folks who dont know a golf ball from a meatball now knowing who she is, thanks to comments attributed to her regarding President Donald Trumps golf habits.News sites everywhere picked up reports from a Norwegian newspaper quoting Pettersen as saying the president cheats like hell, and quoting her making other unflattering remarks about his game.Pettersen explained on Facebook that she didnt accuse the president of cheating, that her words were being taken way out of context and are not a fair account of a more lengthy and very positive interview.She called it #fakenews.The Norwegian reporter responded that he has a recording of the interview.Whew, LPGA officials welcome more media coverage of their tour, but Politico, Red State and the National Review probably arent what they had in mind.
Further Review. By Sunday was a perfect time for reflection and maybe even a smidgen of reappraisal. Because with day baseball, you just see things more clearly. he's really come along
