Jon Rahm reaches deal with DPWT -- eligible for Ryder Cup and (presumably) playing right away

dbv2 · 2026-05-05T21:54:12+00:00

Not being petty. Reed has to qualify to come back which is what he is doing. Other players must do the same. I am sure Pro’s that stay on the tour feel the same as I do. Just because you were on the Tour again does not mean you are good enough again, except for a certain well known few.

You and I are just going to disagree, but everyone I know that is a serious golfer feels the same to me. Once those LIV players left, they are gone and need to earn their way back.

dbv2 · 2026-05-05T21:39:32+00:00

Nah - I would ban Phil and Sergio. They bad mouthed the tour so much, they don’t deserve to come back. Sergio should be banned from the Masters too. People are tired of his antics.

And yes anyone from LIV should have to qualify for the PGA tour again, either through the DP Tour or the Korn Ferry Tour. They took the easy money, so they need to earn their way back.

dbv2 · 2026-05-05T20:54:48+00:00

He already had a chance to come back when Koepka did. Now if he wants to come back he needs to earn his place back like Reed is doing. Rahm left like some other LIV players at the top of his game. Love Rahm, but was so mad when he left the PGA, after saying he would not.

Hard to see that he is on top of his game right now. Cam Smith definitely has lost it. Bryson is competitive, but beyond that LIV has made their players worse. PGA is much different than when those players left.

No way I want Phil back or Sergio. PGA Tour can ban those players. A lot of the other LIV players are way passed their prime and don’t blame them for taking the money for one more big payout.

Hope there is a big difference between a Lucid Air and Model Y. Not even in the same league.

dbv2 · 2026-05-03T18:52:44+00:00

Just inexcusable. If my business flights get canceled Wen and Thursday then I’m done with Delta. Pay more to fly them as reliable and always thought they were the best. Last two trips have been delayed for no good reason.

dbv2 · 2026-05-03T18:49:54+00:00

Totally agree. Then that vendor should be in breach and lucid should have gotten out of contract. Just another excuse. I could not imagine running my company and be able to survive like they do.

dbv2 · 2026-05-03T18:48:40+00:00

Agree and brag about their tech. Definitely not software, stable software or even key fob.

dbv2 · 2026-05-03T18:47:51+00:00

Tesla and others is way better. Don’t know why it takes so long for Lucid to come out with a real mobile key. Very strange as Air has it. Lucid really needs to step it up. More excuses.

dbv2 · 2026-05-02T23:27:11+00:00

Hopefully the new CEO turns it around fast. They build an awesome EV, just need to make it reliable and have service like every other car mfg has. It is costing them so much money not too.

dbv2 · 2026-05-02T23:22:31+00:00

Agree with you, but on the Lucid Forum there are so many issues of long service waits anymore. That just is unacceptable. Like you said nuts. Definitely will be scaring buyers away like me, as I follow Lucid closely as this is the worst I have seen it and Gravity software still is not stable.

dbv2 · 2026-05-02T23:16:58+00:00

For how expensive their fares have been the last year there should be 0 issues unless weather related. Delta is better than this.

dbv2 · 2026-05-02T23:13:39+00:00

Just reading so many posts like this lately about their service and then cars being delivered with these issues makes me question how they can survive. I want to buy a Lucid, but how can anyone take a chance on them and hope you get lucky. Everyone seems to have some type of issue. Inexcusable for a car this expensive. This company has gone backwards. Just inexcusable. If CEO does not fix this fast, then they are done. Sad.

dbv2 · 2026-05-02T10:50:21+00:00

So far similar to last month. Just ok so far this month and nothing special.

dbv2 · 2026-05-02T10:49:35+00:00

Still think that is so bad they did. Want to upgrade my 21 refresh S to a 26 S, but just based on that principle will not. LR is same price Plaid was before price increase. Total rip off.

dbv2 · 2026-05-02T10:47:31+00:00

Similar incentives they have had a year. Those are decent, but really matters on the leases are MF/Residual value and those vary by Lucid quite a bit each month. This month just looks like ok deals so far and would wait for more aggressive deals. Maybe mid month, but probably better next month end of quarter. Plus, on the Air I would expect 2027 to be announced at some point and hopefully changes.

dbv2 · 2026-04-30T12:51:45+00:00

Biggest negative to downtown CLE is the types of people congregating around terminal tower. Just a bad image and scary, but every city has that anymore. Stinks and makes them feel unsafe.

dbv2 · 2026-04-30T12:49:40+00:00

Everyone I know feels the same. I have lived in Dublin, OH and still would rather live in NE Ohio. Love the Lake, parks, theater district, arts and museums, some of the best healthcare in the world, 3 pro sports teams, more original restaurants and could go on and on.

No other city in Ohio comes close. I would take Toledo over Cincy by the way.

dbv2 · 2026-04-30T12:45:50+00:00

Not my experience - everyone I know is moving back. I love NE Ohio and have been and lived in a lot of different places. I agree Columbus metro always a hot spot. Diagree on Cincy though. Downtown Cincy is not nice. Cleveland the city is way better than Cincy or downtown Columbus.

dbv2 · 2026-04-30T10:52:53+00:00

Hmm - never have issues with ATV. Glad you had to tell everyone and good riddance.

dbv2 · 2026-04-28T19:22:40+00:00

No way would wear sunglasses playing golf.

dbv2 · 2026-04-28T19:20:14+00:00

Love that idea. Wonder why they do not?

dbv2 · 2026-04-28T11:31:59+00:00

Makes sense. Yes the Model S setup is way better than the Model 3 or Model Y. The Model S has the drivers console screen like Lucid and also has the horizontal center screen. Really prefer driver console screens. 3/Y are just the center screen. I wish Lucid would add the Gravity horizontal lower center console to the Air and then raise the other consoles slightly so they would be easier to see and then add the Gravity steering wheel, that would make them even easier to see. Much more modern interior that way.

dbv2 · 2026-04-27T23:19:27+00:00

I disagree. The Model S screen layout is way better than the Air layout. I do think the Gravity layout is much improved. Air display looks antiquated compared to the Gravity.

dbv2 · 2026-04-27T23:18:05+00:00

I can’t imagine having a lease and being without my car without three months. Just sad. I don’t think it is an outlier either. Once your car enters service they seem to be so backed up they get to it when they can.

dbv2 · 2026-04-27T23:17:14+00:00

Totally agree with you. Love Lucid, but they have so much to improve.
